Consulate Review: Sydney, Australia

| Embassy Review : |
This was a far better experience than my student visa back in 2012. Rather than an hour of waiting, it took 5-10 minutes between walking in the door and jumping in the elevator up to the main floor of the consulate.
My ticket was called within 5-10 minutes to have my paperwork collected. Of course, they collect it at the counters away from the waiting area where nothing can be heard, and do the interviews in front of everyone else where everything can be heard. No secrets! Most interviews took 5-10 minutes, some a little longer. People with anything on their police record, previous visa troubles or any doubt about their relationships were questioned pretty heavily.
My interview seemed to be the shortest of all the ones I saw. It took 3-4 minutes. I was basically asked when we met, gave a basic outline of our relationship, asked if I had any medical issues or trouble with the police. It felt more like a casual conversation than anything else. Approved without a problem, should receive visa in the next fortnight.
The guy interviewing me seemed to finish most interviews the same way - "we're still waiting on a few checks to come back, but I don't see any issues and you should receive your visa in the next two weeks". Not exactly sure what that's in reference to, perhaps a USA police check.
The most hostile part of this whole experience was the security, who seemed fairly blunt in the same way as airport security are. The consulate staff were all fantastic. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
