Wow 8 weeks! that is crazy, I'd definitely try Melbourne or Brisbane although the additional cost of that is very unfair to you. What an unefficient system to have a state of 8 million people and only one doctor to serve any potential US immigrant! I got my packet 4 today 6 days after sending in my packet 3, that was super fast! However they have offered me 30th of July as an interview date! I think I'll definitey write the consulate and ask for one sooner, 5 weeks is a long wait.

Well at least there is hope after Packet 3! That's awesome that they sent you packet 4 already. July 30 is a long wait, but either way, congrats on almost being done with the pre-visa process!!!

FYI, my fiance called around to see what the wait was with other doctors. In Melb and Brisbane it was only 1 week but in Cairns it was ONE DAY! ONE FREAKING DAY! ok, I'm done venting. I just had to share.

Yikes! I'm glad I came back here and checked. After reading what happened with the medicals in Sydney, my fiancé and I decided to just go ahead and have him make the extra trip to Melbourne for the medical instead of trying to book it at the same time as his interview in Sydney, since I think that will be virtually impossible now. So he's got his medical booked for July 12th in Melbourne, and he's mailing packet 3 today. Hopefully that will put us in the first couple of weeks in August for interviews. *fingers crossed* His goal is to be over here the last week in September, so we still have a little bit of wiggle room, but I don't like leaving too much to chance. I'm glad we have the medical booked now, it's one less thing we have to worry about. And I know he's glad to have the paperwork for packet 3 done and out of the way! Thanks for posting this information!

Got my medical done finally! Glad to have that out of the way, now I can anxiously await my interview in 3 weeks. I feel like this is by far the most stressful bit waiting for judgement day lol.

Yay! Congrats! Did you happen to hear anything about Dr. Waks? Such as he's going to be out for a long time @ the backup will be continued?

No I didnt hear anything else about him, the lady doctor covering for him at the moment just said they were very busy as she has double the work load. Maybe try call again this week, but even still I think your best bet for an appointment within in the next month would be to go interstate for a doctor. On the other hand, you can still get a consulate interview without a medical so you can still send in your packet 3 and if they give you an interview in say August then you will most likely be able to get a Sydney medical done by then too.

Thanks for the info! Dr. R's office is now being really strict about booking without a case number yet, so I'm hoping we get our case number this week so we can see what the booking situation is in Sydney. The receptionist wouldn't tell us a lot of info on openings without a number. If we can't get any movement/additional info this week, then it's definitely going to be an interstate doctor.
