Hi guys, I have completed my second round of medical exams on the 30th of September in France and on my ImmiAccount I still have the following message
"Examinations in progress
A panel clinic is currently processing this person's health examination(s) in eMedical. This screen will be updated once this person's case has been submitted to the department for processing. This may not occur until all results are finalised after the person has left the clinic. Ongoing delays should be followed up with the clinic in relation to the progress of your health examination results. Do not contact the department about this matter."
I contacted the clinic in France and they told me standard processing time is 7 to 10 working days however for my first medical it was cleared in 3/4 days.
Seems like its taking too long this time, what do you guys think ?
Hi guys,
Below the classic answer from DHA after submitting my complaint about processing times for my visa application (sent the complaint on the 30th July):

Hello Everyone,
I applied for a 491 visa (QLD sponsorship) on the 15th November 2023 (medicals and biometrics received by the Immigration on the 22nd November), do you think there is a chance I get a visa grant before July ? it's starting to be very frustrating now, especially seeing the few 491 visa grants since the end of April.
Thanks a lot
