Having issues getting my visa to head back to China next week.

Went to the visa office with copies of EVERYTHING, as well as my official medical in China and they REFUSED to accept it Shocked

. First time I've ever needed to show the stupid medical just to GET the z visa. I am in Australia, obviously things have changed since last time I did it.

Now, I'm having to go through the entire medical process again, and at 10x the cost of back there.

My doc has ordered a skin test for me, but I never needed that for any of the meds done previously, including the lastest one I did in China. Really don't want to do it, as a. so much mucking around, several days going back for results, then back to the doc again, and b. time is WAY too short!

Skip it? Really want to.

Just got bloods first thing this morning, hopefully can get them back by tomorrow night, to visa office again Thurs and pick up Friday. It's really cutting it unbelieveably fine.

I could just ask the new workplace to courier my med book from China, but they will need it again for the residence permit and I probably won't get it back applying for the visa.

Trying not to panic!

If I knew why they refused to accept it, I could offer better, sounder advice.
