I've just found out we've been put into AP by the embassy in Sydney. I'm hoping it only lasts a few days. Has anyone else had this happen in Sydney and if so, how long did it last?

Thanks guys. I'm feeling a bit shattered :(

Did they say why?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

No they haven't said why. I'm not sure if I should email them back to ask for a specific reason?

Try not to worry about it. There was another one once and it only lasted a month or so. It's rare but when it happens it seems to be short.

How did you find out you were in AP?

I emailed the embassy as it had been more than 5 working days since our interview and I hadn't heard anything about our passports. They informed me that we were in AP
