After some info for a mate who has been waiting for Spouse Visa Approval. Lodged 6 months ago. He was flying out next week to Thailand to visit his wife. Unfortunately his holiday has been cancelled because of a medical condition which has him in hospital right now and awaiting an operation. That's why I am posting on his behalf. Is it possible for his visa to be fast tracked and approved as he will not be able to work and lives alone at his home and will need caring for. He has no immediate family near him. Looking at maybe contacting Immi. Department or Minister with all details of his medical condition. Anybody on the forum been through this problem.

Can be done, get him to contact his case officer, they will want to see proof of medical info etc.
