Interview Date but no Packet 4

[Touch of Treble 39]

Hi All,

I have now spoken with a lovely person at DOS and had my interview time and day confirmed for the 3rd time, and apparently packet four was sent to me on Feb 1. Still not here! Not getting any answers from emails to the Consulate in Sydney, so going ahead and booking my flights anyway, while I wait for the packet to be resent!

Sydney seems to be erratic in sending emails, which I do not understand. Packet 3 took 36 hours to come through to my email address...

has anyone else had trouble with recieveing emails? as in, sent but not recieved? It doesn't make sense, but then not much does...

Rosemary not sure how you could get an interview date from DOS as it s the Sydney consulate that sends that to you after they have received your packet 3 papers. Packet 4 as you say is what they send you to bring in on interview day and the date of your interview. Another friend here Susanne is having issues with consulate as well not answering emails and her papers were sent 1st Feb to Sydney so they should have them and she should have been notified too or at least her fiance in USA.

Sydney consulate answer emails only when they get around to it trust me , when I was going through this I emailed 3 times till I got an answer.

Hi Barbara,

Well packet 4 came in at lunchtime today and the time and date were exactly as DOS had told me. DOS were also able to see the emails I had sent and their erratic replies, so i guess they have a copy of all the activity for the cases, but can't actually DO anyting, other than to advise what is happening. Don't know how the system works, but it has been good to have the access to DOS at least to get some sort of update on the info...

Yep, consulate only answer emails as they want...ah well.
