Thank you for the tip!

Just as I was writing the new email w/your instructions, a response finally arrived!

"Thank you for your inquiry. We have received the vaccines sheet and your file is ready to be finalized."

That sounds like there's nothing left to do but pop it in the mail *crosses fingers*

Good luck to you too!

Just wondering how long you had to wait for an interview date after sending in packet 3. I'm hoping to get our NOA2 any day now and already have my packet 3 ready to go.

Congrats on a successful interview

Thanks. I just put a signature on but I got the interview date a week after sending packet 3. But then there was a big wait.

Does anyone have tracking information yet?

I still get "No events found" at Auspost

I don't have my tracking number on me at the moment but I did receive an email an hour ago from the consulate advising my visa has been issued so I should be able to track it when I get home.

Hi

Sometimes it's worth calling Australia post and check where is it. I had the same problem with an envelope, so I called them and they gave me information which didn't appear on their website. It's worth giving it a go....

[Shirezu 5]

Thanks, please keep us posted if you get any tracking info!

Congrats

Thanks. Still nothing yet. Generally it takes up to 24 hours though to update.

[Shirezu 5]

Just got an update saying it's left Sydney. Should have it by Monday or Tuesday.

Congrats Shirezu!

Kicking myself for not getting Platinum Express (FOR $5 MORE! )

I did SafetyChick's suggestion and called but they said only Platinum gets scanned when sent - regular Express only gets scanned at destination. I'm hoping the doctor's mistake didn't put us behind Shirezu in the queue (even though our interview was a week earlier)

Still hoping we get ours Mon or Tues as well!
