Just posted off my Packet 3 dox to the Sydney Consulate. Oh my gosh it is nerve racking. I went through everything about a hundred times checking it over to make sure it was all correct, signed and dated.... but you still have that feeling of Uugh, I hope I didn't make any mistakes. Finally forced myself to place it in the Xpost satchel and send it off, now I just have to wait. I am really hoping for a speedy turnaround at the Consulate so the kids and I can be there for Christmas. The last 3 and a half years have been a long road and I pray that we will be rewarded with an approval at the interview. We all want to be there so badly and finally begin our new lives together as a family....I will be praying hard the next few weeks!!!

Thanks everyone for your advice, direct or indirect via the forum, it has been such a huge help!!!

Thanks, good luck to you too!! Did you send your medical results in with your PKT 3? Dr Waks sent mine directly to the Consulate on the 9th of October, I'm hoping this is OK that I didn't include them in the PKT 3 and that the Consulate received them OK and placed them with the rest of my documents until my interview.

Cheers

Yeah I did post them with my packet 3. The doctor wouldn't do it for me and insisted I had to come pick the results up. But it's all good. At least I got a copy of the medical just in case. I've heard some people suggest to do this for the AOS part of the visa journey.
