I damaged my knee about 6 years ago and was downgraded limited deployable. I can still pass my PFA and ACFT and have also deployed to Afghan since. I am reasonably fit, out running most days, kite surfing, surfing and skiing so it is not like I am sick, lame or lazy. I am looking at a Signals role as an IS specialist.

Does anyone know if this is a showstopper?

Mate, just be prepared for jumping through hoops. I had an acl repair from hamstring graft and cartilage trimmed. I had to be 18 months clear of the surgery before they would accept me but that's after paying for consultations, getting x-rays and more consultations. It's do-able though so stick with it, if you've got something to offer them they'll take you

Visa app received on the 27th of April and confirmation of processing from diac on the 10th of May, just to give an idea of timelines. Awaiting medical go-ahead so I'll keep you updated.

Has anyone else pvr'd yet and will be going over in Oct? Resigned in Jan, know the risk yet had to do it because of a unit deployment. Visa acknowledged two weeks ago and medical this week so hope it will not be a,long wait again?

Our medical and everything was completed 2 weeks ago. Not sure now how long this next bit takes but hopefully its not to long to wait. I PVR'd in March for arrival August to October.

DIAC recieved our application on the 16th April ,we had our medicals on the 10th May and our email saying we had our Visa's came this morning (23rd May). Don't know if this is really quick but just to give you guys an idea of timelines.

Almost the same as campermum. Getting ready to press that button on JPA!

Quality news for you both, seems like it is a very quick turn around!

ACK from Diac on 27th April but no go ahead for eHealth yet. Sick of checking my emails now, even looking in spam just incase. Tried to track it on the immi.gov.au with the TRN on my receipt but it says its not valid. Maybe they haven't dug into it yet. In theory I should only be around 10 days behind Campermum
