Hi. May I know what’s the update on your status?Have you got your visa approved?

No. It’s been 13 months, still no updates. Are you faced with the same issue ? 

I have lodged my student visa subclass500 on 9th November 2022.Later on I was asked to do repeat x-ray and sputum culture test and found that I had completely healed from TB.Even though all the required documents have been submitted, Bupa Medical says the case is referred to Australian TB expert medical panel(EMP). I have already waited for 6 months. Does anyone know how much time EMP takes to reach a decision?
