How long is Sydney consulate taking to grant single entry tourist visa? I have nepalese passport and i am flying in 13 october so i applied visa on 8 september but till date its been around 18 days but my visa processing is still stucked in “Pending Document Check” ….I tried calling the consulate but it directs me to email and when i emailed theres has been no response for almost 5 days now…Its a very important trip for me but doesn’t look like i will receive my visa in time….I saw a lot of google reviews saying they missed their flight because of visa ..is this common issue?
