Waiting, waiting, 1,2,3

Well, my visa application has been received by the Australian High Commission in London and I've now got a named contact in their Migration Branch and an all-important reference number. This means that I can start the police check and various health checks, so I've filled in the Police Record Data Protection forms and sent them off, and I've collected the chest X-rays I had done last Friday so that I can take them to my medical appointment in Southville tomorrow. Of course there have been preliminary forms to fill in for that, too, and I've been able to look at the questions that the doctor will have to assess. Most interesting was a check-list with lots of questions and two possible categories of answer, 'Normal' and 'Abnormal', including the question, "Intelligence?" Leaving aside the intelligence of phrasing the question in that way, I wish I could see what the answer will be, but unfortunately it's all confidential and will be sealed and posted off by the doctor (once I've paid another £70 fee).
