My experience with the Sydney consulate was the best part of this whole process. Although I was in the consulate for about and hour and a half, the face to face process took all of about 15 minutes and they had my passport back to me within three business days.
Watching the preparation or lack thereof of some of the other interviewees that morning I cannot emphasize enough the following: check and re-check that you have done everything on the cover sheet - I saw one guy sent away because he hadn't done his police check. ORGANISE your documentation as per the cover sheet and have enough respect for all the work you've put in to this process to have the paperwork CLEAN and contained - one lady showed up with docs in an ALDI bag and guess what? She'd forgotten stuff.
Also because I was coming in to Sydney from QLD I chose to book into the Adina Serviced Apartments - 2mins from the consulate - because after navigating the shit show that is COVID and Australian... read complete review

Much like everyone else, my interview process was smooth and very easy once I could find my way into the office. I did get lost at first due to all the construction and renovation happening to the building, but once I found my way in, it was a very easy step by step process. Everyone was super friendly and I felt like I was in and out within an hour!

The check in process was simple, just follow the officers instructions.
There are 2 parts to the interview. The first part, they will take all your paperwork and fingerprints. The second part, they will ask you a few questions and at the end they usually tell you if it is approved or not.
The officer was great, very conversational.

Getting there is exactly as everyone has described in recent reviews. Building renovations make it a bit harder to find your way to the right elevator but it isn't hard to find someone who can help you get there.
I placed all my documents into a clear, plastic, document folder which I took in with me. There were five people in front of me so by the time I was called for my interview, I had no questions for the interviewing officer because I had already heard the answers to the questions I would have asked. In respect of the interview itself, I was asked how we met, where we will live, what my fiancé does for a living and how we have kept in touch during the pandemic etc. The interviewing officer was kindly, clear, professional and easy to talk to. I was approved pending receipt of my medical report which I had had done the day prior and received my visa in the mail just over a week later.

Like most of the other reviews, I enjoyed the experience.
Received an email the friday before the monday interview to inform us that I required to provide an Australia Post Pre-Paid express post packet.
Attended only 15min prior to appointment time. I had been to Brisbane the week before for my medical and had to wash my hands due to the visit. Sanitise, then attend a 'pre-interview' where an officer will go through your paperwork and put it in a seperate folder. I dumped my phone and sunglasses into a small bag and given a receipt for it.
Headed into an elevator up to the next level where I took a number and was called up straight away. However this 1st call was just to take fingerprints and hand over your documents that were pre-sorted for you. Take a seat again, before being called up for the interview.
My interview took around 10min.
I was asked how we had met, and what plans have we made for the wedding. That was it. <... read complete review
