Fingerprints and interview in Australia

[Sweetrayne 7]

HI, my fiance had his fingerprints done yesterday and mailed them to Canberra...can someone who has done this recently please tell me how long to expect to wait to get them back/results/what we send in with our packet? I see the website is 30 working days but wondered is that is really accurate.

Also, once all the documents have been sent and are ready for interview, about how long is it taking the Sydney consulate to get back to you to set up an interview?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm in Perth, W.A but my police certificate was sent back to me within two weeks, was expecting a longer wait so it was a very nice surprise! I did that just the other month.

They received all my packet 3 docs on the 29th Aug, and I received an interview date via email today (16th Sept).. So it took them about 11 working days to get back to me.

Good luck.

Thanks for your quick response...the wait is causing me stress....especially now that my sweetie returned to Aus this weekend...so over waiting...seems never ending....
