Just got the email from Sydney saying my visa has been issued! Provided it arrives tomorrow, I will be flying out Wednesday to activate it. Hooray! Here's the text of the email for anyone who's interested (had to remove all the links as it wouldn't let me post): Dear Visa applicant, We are...

Ok I JUST got an email response from Sydney Consulate: "Thank you for your inquiry. We have checked your case and noted that it has been approved and it looks like we should get it finalized and mail it out this week." So I guess that's good. I was getting a bit worried, but looks like I was...

The Auckland consulate in general seemed to have it's proverbial together. AimLK said she got a response by email usually the following business day, however I haven't received anything yet and I suspect they basically had skeleton staff on over the break and will probably be getting back to...

This is the Sydney Consulate, not KCC. As far as I can tell, cou can't call the consulate about these things. As my passport is with Sydney, I don't think KCC is not going to be of any assistance as the individual visa processing is a matter for the consulates.

I have sent them an email. No reply yet.

That better be all it is. Nearly 2 weeks and still waiting

Is it weird that mine says Administrative Processing?

All I gave was my VCE Certificate (for Victoria) and they didn't ask for anything else like results. So I imagine same would apply for WA.

Thanks, just emailed them.

Thanks for the tip - would you mind giving me the right email address?

Well that's annoying, especially seeing as the 'Important Notice' seems to indicate it will be updated after you get an interview. Still no passport. I know they said 1-2 weeks so I should just sit tight but now I'm getting impatient because Indollie got theirs.

Has anyone who's interviewed tried looking up their number on the CEAC status check? I can't get it to work, just keeps saying Invalid Immigrant Visa Case Number.

Ok that makes me feel a bit better. I'm in Melbourne and it's an Express Post envelope so it shouldn't take that much longer. They gave me the tracking sticker from the Express Post envelope which I have been refreshing religiously but hasn't been marked as posted yet, not that that is...

Damn! Why haven't I got mine yet? I always seem to get delayed.

Congrats to you too! Very happy for you. Did they say at all how long it would take to get your passport and stuff back?

Planning on doing an activation trip as soon as I get my passport back, then second week of Feb for good! Such a crazy experience, after being selected and missing out last year then finally getting to this point, it's still sinking in!

Emily, you can officially update your spreadsheet under my name to US bound!! I'm writing this at the airport over a celebratory burrito whilst I wait for my flight as I don't want to forget anything. My interview was or 10:30am and I flew up to Sydney from Melbourne the night before and...

Thanks and good luck to you too! I'm on at 10:30, flying up this evening. I'm sure they'll have your medical report all ready to go. I saw that report back from the London consulate and have my copies of transcripts and uni degrees, but I have kept them separate and will only give them if they...

Mine weren't sealed either. It all came in a big envelope. I had emailed copies of my vaccination records to them before my interview, so the copies are in with the rest of the medical records. I'm pretty sure it's not going to matter, but I can tell you after tomorrow!

No sure, but the exchange rate is not pretty right now. I just checked to see how much cash I'll need for my interview and the $330 fee turns into over $400 in AUD eek!
