My first visa took just on 7 months from woe to go, however, my 2nd visa, from what I can gather is no different in relation to getting pushed through the queue.... only took 4 months... my interview was 23rd December last year, and I got my 5 year approval on the 16th April... I was blown away...

Nice to see they got rid of the `moral turpitude` reference :)

I personally think he will be fine. Obtain a national police check from the AFP and that covers all states. A name only certificate should be fine, although you may like to get the fingerprint one too, just in case.. I have a checkered past dating back 10 and 20 years, a my visa was approved for...

Always remember the power of social media too. Your complaint was well written and articulate, I`d be posting it almost word for word on their Facebook page. Working in a social media team I can guarantee a well worded complaint, will get a lot of likes and comments from people if they too have...

So all the information about a conviction being older than 10 years you can be automatically deemed `rehabilitated` is incorrect then? I fortunately dont have a DUI, but there website should state that DUI`s make you unadmissable for ever. Thanks for your reply.

Although their website says it can take to up to a year to process I was quite surprised to see that I got a response back in 3 weeks. Admittedly it was to ask for additional information but the whole process seemed far quicker than the U.S. Process. Having said that, I notice on the form...

Thanks for letting me know. I did add to it. I'm one of those inpatient people who gets upset when there's no response in 5 seconds. Hehe. Thanks fir the heads up. I love this site. Been lurking for a couple of months now and needed to make myself known.

I have had my interview at the consulate here in Melbourne and due to a drug trafficking conviction in 1994 it was declined immediately. The officer then told me he would recommend me for a waiver. I'm aware that it takes 6 months. But I'm worried in the sense that it's been 2 months and I...

Hey Jorza. I have read some of your posts but admittedly have jumped to the end of the thread rather starting from scratch. I'm sitting at the 1.5 month mark after my interview. I have been told that I have been requested for a waiver. After giving them my police check, that was the last I...
