Australian Embassy Appointment Wait Times

[Gii 48]

Hi,

 

Thought I would start this thread for those who are now able to book in appointments at Sydney embassy. If you have been able to, could you please put down the earliest date that you have been able to book in with? Just to give everyone an idea of how big the backlog is/ expected timeline. 

 

Thanks 🐨🇦🇺

Why not post this in the Aussie  sub-forum where others who are specifically interested will respond and or benefit from your effort. Just a suggestion. Go to the blue ribbon above, select "forums" then scroll about 3/4 of the page down and select the region that most represents where your country is located.

Because I had no idea how to, I went to the country specific area and clicked on the Aussie flag, but I couldn’t find the area to create a forum. I find the format on this site a bit confusing to be honest

Selecting the Aussie flag will open a whole host of added information to explore BUT it does not lead you to the sub-forum. I'll as a mod to move it so there isn't any real need for you to repeat the question in the Aussie forum. Good luck and stay engaged.

~~Moved to the Regional forum, form K1 Progress Reports- the OP is asking for Australian only updates.~~

If you and others from the Aussie embassy do a timeline and keep up with it,  you will see scheduled interviews on the portal in  the right hand column /that is the interviews of VJ members and does not reflect all as everyone does not join this site- but will give you a good idea of what is going on

You can also use the timeline feature for others. Use the immigration timelines on the blue ribbon at the top of this page and then select K-1's. Here is the link directly to the page you are looking for.

Was there an announcement or something? I'm not seeing anything on the embassy website about resuming normal activities.

They announced on the embassy/consulate website last week that they are resuming SOME services.... none specific to K1....but it’s a step

Yes, I spoke to someone and their interview was re-booked for the end of November, that was the earliest they could get. Just wanting to get a grasp of how delayed everything will be and if there's even a slither of chance that I would be able to get an interview for this year once my NOA2 is approved. Also had another person say that they got the notification that their paperwork was being sent to the Syd embassy, things are moving 🙂

Wow, end of November. Was this someone who had an interview that was cancelled earlier in the pandemic? I would have thought if already scheduled now, maybe they would get an interview before end of November. I really hope I can get there for the Holidays (thanksgiving, Christmas etc)
