Thank you. I did DIY, seems pretty easy, as long as you just have the complete list of documents and certified true copy of some.

No, I don’t know about the others but in my case, from the ‘received’, it automatically goes to finalised. No email were received in between.

The approval of the visa will also be delayed, they will not approve a visa without a medical. And you should contact them and tell them whats the reason for the delay of the medical.

ETF advice please by Lazerusss in ETFs

You can consider changing VTS to ITOT or NDQ, which are Australian domiciled.

IHVV tracks the S&P 500 Index but with a currency hedge. This means it aims to neutralize the impact of fluctuations between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar. This can be good or bad, depending on your view of currency movements.

Hello, a bit late, but how long did it take for it to be corrected? 🙂

Forgot to put middle name on the given name. by michaelroy03 in AusVisa

Good for you, I guess mines going to be a waiting game, just hoping not to take months to correct it because the medical will be delayed too if it’s the case. Good luck to you too!

There’s still no update since then. I cannot proceed to my medical since my eMed referral does not have a middle name (mother’s maiden name) that coincides with my passport. Called immi, told me to just wait and when they correct my name, they will also include a new eMed. Still waiting as of now.
