bakerin Whatever the medical issue is, have you checked what the renewal requirements are instead of initial? If you apply for a renewal (I think it might be called a lapsed or extended renewal, I can't remember) while holding a professional licence and medical from another state, the minimums are often lower.
This is the medical I got when I changed from an Australian Class 1 to convert to an JAA (as it was known then) Class 1 medical. (I had an Australian ATPL with 4500 hours).
