In DS260 there is a question on Mother's Surname at Birth. Is this her surname at birth or her surname when she gave birth to the applicant?

Also her Name would be the name at her birth or when she gave birth to the applicant?

Come on, really… What’s your mothers maiden name, period.

Hi Britsimon, yes, as luckyweiner has said, DS-260 on May 14, docs requested Sep 13 and sent on Sep14th. I'll update the tracker as soon as I get the next notification.

Cheers

14 May and 14 Sept respectively, it's on one of the old trackers/google spreadsheets.

Documents not sent un-requested, requested from KCC on 13 Sept, and sent by OP on 14 Sept.

Congrats OP. Here's hoping I'm soon (fingers crossed), I'm the exact same case range no.

Cheers luckyweiner, and good luck. Our cases look very similar so you can't be too far off :)

I received this email yesterday after having already sent my documents back in July. Do I need to send my documents again, or is this just an indication that my DS-260 has been processed?

Hi Guys,
I may be jumping the gun here, as I am not currently DQ'd, but I am wondering at what point people are organising the required vaccines and the physical? I am asking because it seems the only immigration qualified doctors are in Nsw, Vic and WA, so I will need to travel. I am wondering if it is better to do it sooner than later.
Appreciate any help and apologise if this has already been addressed.
Thanks.

I am in Brisbane so will also have to travel to Sydney for mine. I've already gotten all mine done so that I'm prepared and got my immunity levels tested. They won't (at least the Sydney ones) let you make an appointment until you have a interview date (as that's what they have been instructed to do). But the sooner you get them the better, most of them last a long time (like the MMR one last like 20 years) so if you don't have them there's no harm in doing them early. I was told by a doctor it's better to do them sooner as some cannot be done at the same time, ie if you had to get 3 vaccines, that all had to be at least 2 weeks apart, if you left it until a month before your medical you wouldn't have enough time.

I was told by the Sydney ones the only ones I needed were
- Flu vaccine (if flu season (I think before Oct 1st), I got mine just in case)
- MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella)
- Tetanus Diphtheria Pertussis
- Varicella (Chickenpox)

I had MMR when I was 1 (now 26) and was no longer immune against Rubella so they said I would have to get that one done again (but able to get an exemption due to being immunocompromised so I can't take it). So it's worth following up sooner so you can find out which ones you will require and how long it will take to get them all.

That doctor should have provided you with more context regarding waiting a couple of weeks in between vaccines comment. This is only applicable when one is required to get more than one dose of a particular vaccine. For immigration purpose, there is no requirement for the dosages to be completed before being issued with the medical report - the CS is simply required to note the number of dosage already completed, which is typically in the case of Hepatitis for applicants aged 18 and below, I believe. For the 3 age appropriate vaccines applicable to an adult: MMR, DTP (or DTaP), and Varicella (for someone who has never had chickenpox), those 3 can be received in one day.

The other instance where waiting a couple of weeks in between getting the vaccines is the new COVID-19 vaccine requirement of course.

I have entered her Surname and Name at her birth. Hope this is acceptable to them and does not create problem. I can prove the maiden and the married name with parent's marriage certificate and mum's birth certificate.

Yes I put my mother's maiden name, which means her name when she was born too. I think what you've done is correct, otherwise i've made the same mistake as you
