[glow=red,2,300]MY MEDICALS EXPERIENCE AT SPS APOLLO HOSPITAL, LUDHIANA[/glow]

WE REACHED AT THE RECEPTION AT 9:30AM. THERE WERE ALREADY MANY PEOPLE WAITING FOR THEIR TURN, THEY HAVE COME FOR MEDICALS FOR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THOUGH.WE WERE TOLD TO FILL A FORM AND SUBMIT. THE LADY AT THE RECEPTION CALLED OUR NAME AFTER 15 MINUTES AND ASKED TO DEPOSIT INR 4200/- PER PERSON AS MEDICAL FEE. THEN WE WENT TO MASTER HEALTH CHECKUP(MHC) ON THE SAME FLOOR WHERE THE LAB GUY TOOK OUR BLOOD AND URINE SAMPLES. THEY DO DIPSTICK ANALYSIS OF URINE AND SCAN BLOOD FOR SYPHILLS AND HIV. AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO GO TO ROOM 509 ON FIFTH FLOOR EYE TESTING...NORMAL PROCEDURE...FILLED OUR FORMS UPON CHECKING OUR EYESITE. THEREAFTER WE REPORTED TO VISA DESK SECTION ON GROUND FLOOR.IT WAS ALREADY 10:45 AM BY THEN. WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT FOR OUR TURN HERE.

AFTER NEARLY 1:30 HOURS OUR NAMES WERE CALLED.. FIRST OF ALL OUR PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN THEN WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT AGAIN FOR AROUND 30-45 MINUTES. AGAIN OUR NAMES WERE CALLED, THIS TIME FELLOW BEHIND DESK TOOK OUR PP COPY AND CHECKED OUR MED FORMS, AFTER ENTERING OUR DETAILS IN HIS SYSTEM HE GAVE US E MED FORMS AND INSTRUCTED TO GET CHEST XRAYS DONE...AGAIN AT MHC. AFTER XRAYS WE GAIN CAME BACK TO VISA DESK, AFTER TAKING WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WE WERE TOLD TO REPORT TO PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE.

AT 1:00PM WE WERE OUTSIDE DR'S ROOM..AFTER 45 MINUTES WE WERE TOLD THAT DOCTOR HAD AN EMERGENCY CALL TO ATTEND(MOST PROBABLY MUST HAVE BEEN LUNCH BREAK) SO THE THE ATTENDANT TOLD US EITHER TO WAIT OR COME AFTER 30 MINUTES. WE CAME BACK AT 2:15PM AND AFTER 30 MINUTES IT WAS OUR TURN. THE DOCTOR ASKED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROFESSION, LIFESTYLE HABITS AND ANY PAST MEDICAL HISTORY. AFTER THAT HE TOOK BLOOD PRESSURE AND DID PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. AS WE BOTH HAVE MEDICAL BACKGROUND..HE PRESCRIBED US ADDITIONAL HCV AND HBsAg TO RULE OUT ANY CHANCE OF INFECTION. FOR THAT WE GAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL 730/-PP. THE LAB GUY TOLD US NO NEED FOR NEW SAMPLES, AS HE STILL HAVE OLD SAMPLES. THEN WE CAME BACK TO VISA DESK

IT WAS 3:15PM BY THEN. THE GUY AT THE DESK TOLD US..OUR MEDICALS ARE DONE AND TOOK OUR E MED FORMS FOR STAMPING, LATER RETURNED BACK TO US.

MY SUGGESTION TO FELLOW FORUMITES, NO NEED TO PANIC. DRINK AROUND 2-3 LITRE WATERS IN THE PRECEDING WEEK, CUT DOWN ON SALT AND FRIED,JUNK FOOD. INCREASE FRUITS AND CEREALS IN YOUR DIET. NO SMOKING AND DRINKING ...STOP IT WEEKS AHEAD OF YOUR MEDICALS.
(I WAS HAVING CHOLESTEROL AND URIC ACID ON HIGHER SIDE...BUT IT ALL WENT FINE)

HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU GUYS...GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROCESS.

Hello friends!!!

Will be applying under NOC 2131.

Query regarding travel form.
Since I am currently working in Japan, I have filled all my trips from Japan to India and back.
Japan to India - purpose of travel as vacation
India to Japan - purpose of travel as Work

What about the trips of my wife as she is also accompanying me in all my trips.
What should I fill in the purpose when she travels from India to Japan with me.
She has a dependent visa for Japan.

Please clarify my doubts.

Regards,
Anirudh Mathur

We had written - To accompany my spouse.

Hi All,

Just want to pop up to share my personal experience about my application.
This morning, i just received my PER after a long long long anxious wait with numerous sleepless nights.

NOC: 2133
File received: 2014-July-16th
CC Cashed: 2014-Nov-14th
Visa Office: HongKong

In addition to the information above, i'd like to share something else about my application i believe which will put a lot of members in ease while waiting for their applications to go through.

Issues i have in my application.
1: All translations and notarization are sent in printed photo copies only, not original translation and notarization. regarding this, some forum members told me that this will be a definite return issue. so based on my experience, anyone having the same issue can rest in ease, this is not an issue at all.
2: My son's birth certificate is in both English and my native language(Chinese), i mean, one line in Chinese followed with another line in English as translation, but for the names and place of birth and everything that are filled after my son's birth, they are only in Chinese, i once believed that CIC officers will be highly likely not to be able to read Chinese names, but the result turns out to be fine, not an issue at all.
3: in the experience form where education years needs to be listed, i didn't put 0 or N/A in apprentice field, because i never thought it applied to me. it never crossed my mind that i need to fill 0 or N/A, this negligence really gave me a lot of sleepless nights. but luckily, this never created a problem either.
4: The letter of reference only listed a couple of lines about my duties, 3 lines for Electrical engineer(2-year experience), and 4 lines for electronic engineer(4-year experience), i thought the chances of convincing the immigration officers that i'm qualified for this NOC is very slim, but reality proves i was wrong. and i'm more than happy to be proven wrong this time.
5: the place of birth on my wife's birth certificate is different from the place we filled in the forms, because in the birth certificate, it gives a more detailed place than the place filled in the form which is a city name.

so despite all the small issues which i believe many of the fellow forumites may also encounter, my application successfully went through, i hope my experience can boost some confidence for others who are still waiting. if you notice that my cc charge date is about 2 weeks later than the normal trend, about which i was desperate and feeling hopeless, but yet, it's not a problem. so just hang in there, and wait for your turn. because each case is different from others, i believe a 2 weeks time disparity from the normal trend can be quite normal.
hope my experience can help some friends here.
good luck everyone.

Congrats and +1 to you !!
