I was just wondering what courier the US consulate use to send out the Visa's after being approved in Australia.

I am asking because I am having my mail held right now and if it is Aus Post then it will be held along with the rest of it but if it is with another company then I might need to get ahold of them directly.

Australia Post. You provide them with a self-addressed express post envelope.

Actually they use TOLL. They asked me if I had an envelope or if I wanted to use their courier. I decided to go with the consulate's. In my opinion, it's much safer than Aus Post's mailing system. And yes, you can still track it.

Just an addition to anyone else wondering anything about this. TOLL are fantastic. I had my visa picked up one afternoon and had it by 9:30 the next day, before I even got automated emails about it being picked up :P

I am still waiting on my Visa. We got the "Issued" status on the 3rd Feb, but according to the Australia Post tracking number I have, it has not yet been entered into the system. How long did everyone wait after the Issued status, did you get your passports back?

I got my visa today. They had put it in the wrong post box and it voided the express post so it took a few extra days to get to me. But everything is good now. My stack of documents in the yellow envelopes (x4) is 3inches think LOL due to having 4 visas issued

DITTO THIS. I can't stress enough how much more trustworthy using TOLL is than bringing your own Aus Post bag. I wasn't at home when they initally went to deliver, and they called me to make a time for redelivery. MUCH better service that Aus Post.
