Timeline / Events - 13 Oct 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Visa Granted - 03 Mar 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Submitted Documents to comply with s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer Submitted updated report fron developmental pedia together with result of EEG.

EEG -completed with good results BAER(Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) - 3 failed attempts via natural sleep, conducted by 2 reputable hospitals in the country. According to them they rarely get successful test for 2yr old using natural sleep cause they easily wake up while the wires are being attached or the earpiece. We did'nt approve the last option which is to undergo sedation.

We requested the developmental pedia for a second assessment instead of BAER, because during the first assessment our son was irritable due to cold and cough, however it's hard to get another schedule for developmental pedias, and they only schedule 2nd assessment strictly after 6 months, which is kind of frustrating.

Frustrating because as parents we don't see any hearing problems with our son, he sings along with his favorite songs on youtube and he copies words from older siblings when they are playing. It's a bit unfair. - 06 Feb 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Received s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer S56 health undertaking document for signature - 03 Feb 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Received s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer After submitting assessment report fro developmental pedia we were required to do the recommended tests EEG and BAER(Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response)for our 2yr old son. At the time our son was assessed by developmental pedia, he has cold and cough and we waited for an hour before asseessment started so he was already irritable and tired. Also, he don't usually follow instructions from a stranger he just met aside from the fact that toys used to assessed were not very engaging for a 2yr old boy. - 31 Jan 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Submitted Documents to comply with s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer Submitted assessment report from Neuro Developmental Pedia - 22 Jan 2025 * QLD190 * 85 pts * Received s56 Request for Further Information (RFI) from Visa Case Officer All medicals cleared except for my 2yr old son where they requested for additional certification from a developmental Pedia.
