This happened to me, but I closed my browser and reopened and it worked again
Does anyone know what an internal assessment of a medical file is and if it's something to worry about? My CO is waiting on that. Our medicals were fine when submitting them with our work visas 2 years ago and I referred to them when submitting our SMC application.
@Yanco you did say you disclosed something about your partner’s health and that could’ve been considered as a change. They likely have referred your disclosure to the medical assessor/health assessment team.
I've never heard the phrase "internal assessment of a medical file". Normally, any medical which is picked up by the computer check as having any readings outside normal ranges, or referring to any conditions which are programmed in as being potentially cause for concern, are referred to the Medical Assessors (MAs). They are a separate department, not anything to do with the COs. Their sole job is to understand the applicant's state of health to the point where they can state that the person has ASH (acceptable standard of health) - that is, not likely to cost the NZ Health Service too much for treatment or medication in the near future - or not.
The criteria for ASH for temporary work visas are less demanding than for Residence. You can check the two here. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/#35154.htm
Does anyone know how long INZ needs to wait on NZ police certificates? It seems like this is the only thing preventing our application from moving to 2PC at the moment.
