Just had my visa approved from Canberra Australia under soft power medical, I first applied on 2nd Feb, 3 times they asked for additional documents,

A photo, as they didn't believe the first one was less than 6 months old.

A support letter from my husband as he financially supports me.

Certificate of registration from the medical center I am being treated for my menopause for.

It then sat on pending approval from 7th February.

Now applying for my husband's spouse visa

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully obtained a soft power medical visa from Australia after a lengthy application process that began on February 2nd. The application required the submission of additional documentation, including a recent photo, a support letter from her husband, and a registration certificate from the medical center treating her for menopause. After being pending approval since February 7th, the visa was finally approved, and the user is now preparing to apply for a spouse visa for her husband.

Thanks for your info. Can you elaborate on what additional documents? Are you saying the medical centre wasn’t accepted at first? Did the Dr put all their details and clinic stamp on the first document?

I'm not sure, they just asked me to send a certificate of registration, probably because it's a medical center, not a hospital

@Lee-Ann ******
ok interesting as I will apply using a clinic although the Dr does practice at a hospital too.

Could you please tell me the exact wording of the clinic requirement so I can prepare?

@Lee-Ann ******
also did you combine extra information and a cover letter in one pdf? I assume you upload it at the very last section where it asks for the medical letter, is that correct?

@Evan *******
the cover letter and appointment were all in one, my husband's sponsor letter was added later when they asked for it as it only allows one document per section and I'm not tech savvy and don't know how to combine into one

@Lee-Ann ******
