Hello JAMESMJ,
Thanks for sharing time line while processing. I am wondering , why they requested additional Chest X-ray? old one expired or older than 36 months?
I am planning to apply SMC soon. My general medical 12 months old and X-ray 28 months old? will they require medical again or it's fine?
Cheers

police clearance is valid for 12 months so, you are good to go for residency. In your ITA immigration might requires you to submit police clearance as well as other documents.

ahh, no, for a non partnership based residence application PC needs to be no more than 6 months old at time of lodgement of residence application.

A5.10 Police certificates
All police certificates must be less than six months old at the time an application is lodged, unless A5.10(d) applies or an appropriately delegated immigration officer, having regard to any instructions on the matter, has waived that requirement, in which case police certificates more than six months old may be accepted and used for determination purposes.
If police certificates become a year old from date of issue before a decision on an application is made (see R2.25), immigration officers may request further police certificates as a basis for determining an application.
An immigration officer may also request further police certificates within the 12-month period if there is good reason to do so.
If police certificates were submitted with a previous application:
they can be accepted for any further application for a temporary entry class visa (other than a student visa under U4.10) made within 24 months of the date of issue of the police certificates; or
they can be accepted for further student visa applications as either:
a fee-paying foreign student (U4.10); or
a student enrolled in any Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme in any New Zealand university (see U3.35.20)
made within 36 months of the date of issue of the police certificates; or
they can be accepted for any further temporary entry class visa application as a partner or dependant of a student enrolled any Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme in any New Zealand university made within 36 months of the date of issue of the police certificates; or
they can be accepted for a residence class visa application under the Partnership Category (F2) or the Dependent Child Category (F5) made within 24 months of the date of issue of the police certificates
