Waiting for consulate

[jess18 2]

So my case was sent from the NVC to the Sydney consulate on October 30th and I still haven't heard anything from the consulate....how long should it take for them to acknowledge they have received it?

 

Also, I have seen some people on here (also from Australia) who said that they went ahead and scheduled the medical and got the police background check going before having an interview date.  Has this worked out well for people? Should we start doing this now?

 

Thanks in advance!

Try poking the Consulate with an email so see whats up, theyre usually pretty fast to reply. They may be a bit backed up.

Yes, you should send for police check (name check is fine) and they mail it to you within a week. 

Schedule your medical by giving the doc your SYD number. My fiance scheduled with Dr. Rappaport in Sydney shes great, and you dont need an appointment date for that.

Make sure to tick box 33 on police check for full disclosure!

I should also have mentioned that you dont hear anything being a petitioner, make sure your beneficiary checks their email. Consulate will email them with further information once they receive the case!

Best of luck!
