How long have they told you that you have to wait?
It sucks when you have to rely on other people to get things going they never seem to have any urgency about them.
Fingers crossed you get an appointment soon :)

You can still send in the applications, lots of people do this. By the time you finish the approval sponsor stage, your medical can be done and wll simply be added to the file. Just put a note about it.

This is what we will do as the approved doctor for my wife says he needs a file number first...they are wrong...but whatever!

You know you can just send the application without the medical as it is going to expire anyways by the time they open your file in ISB for processing, so it would be a waste of money and time in my opinion. Once they start processing your file, they would request you for a medical and you can do it then. Otherwise if you do it now, you will have to Re-do the medical anyways.

Medical is valid for 1 year..
So you should be ok if Visa office receives your file within that time period. I would prefer to include it with your application if you think you can get it done withing 1-2 weeks.. As waiting for them to mail your spouse to get medical done and then all the process wastes atleast 1-1.5 months. So I feel it is better to wait 1-2 weeks now rather than waiting 1 month later.

But yes, if you think that medical will take more than a month , then you can just mail your application without medical and include a letter explaining the situation.

The Visa office he is applying has a processing timeline of 24 months, so 99% have to Re-do their medicals as it expires in 12 months.
