@D1Dlan @ValerioVeo @dfat couldn’t agree more! i waited patiently for 15 weeks but someone can pay express and get theirs in 24 hours??

@sarahgirlwonder @Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP I just got an email saying it’s ready for collection after going into the office this morning! looks like they really do prioritize the people who come and line up. I also did reach out to my local MP this morning too so not sure if it was that.

@sarahgirlwonder @Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP they also said the printer in the office is down so i’m assuming they are unable to print anything on the spot/during the day.

@sarahgirlwonder @Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP although there was a guy in front of me who is flying out on tuesday and they told him to come back on monday.

[krd @krd18876635]

@sarahgirlwonder @Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP they handed them to the people inside and those people called us and told us our passports have been pushed through to printing and to come back next week to pick up once we receive an email.

@sarahgirlwonder @Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP i’m in sydney. i got there at around 5am and they cut the line at around 8 am because it was quite long. People working there walked up and down the lines during the morning and took our names and numbers if our cases were extreme and went to the office (continued)

[krd @krd18876635]

@DrARayfield @___dreamvortx Currently in line and they are both quite long already so i’d recommend calling to confirm before lining up

[krd @krd18876635]

@9edward @billytucker100 ahh that gives me hope! currently 100th in line after coming at 5 am

[krd @krd18876635]

@DrARayfield @___dreamvortx asked someone on the phone and they said appointments are all booked out so you’ll just need to line up and they’ll help you (after waiting 6 hours)

[krd @krd18876635]

@barbiedutter @dfat Thanks so much!! i’ll go tomorrow

[krd @krd18876635]

@Rev33024177 @JimmyHammoni @YourBoyShane17 @dfat @AndrewGeeMP hi! how did you get in touch with your local MP? i’ve been waiting nearly 15 weeks and am desperate

[krd @krd18876635]

@9edward @billytucker100 hey! going to go and line up tomorrow as i’ve been waiting 15 weeks, do you know if the status of yours was ‘under assessment’ when you went or was it ‘printed’?

[krd @krd18876635]

@MichelleWYBrown i lodged mine on 19/3 and it’s still under assessment. going on 15 weeks.

[krd @krd18876635]

@dfat does anyone know what the deletion date on your passport application means? I have waited 14 weeks for mine and the deletion date is tomorrow.

@dfat just got off the phone with someone from the PO who hung up on me and told me they can’t do anything after waiting 14 wks for my passport. My only choice is to wait for 12 hrs at the office to see if they can help at all. 14 WKS. Outrageous.

[krd @krd18876635]

@dfat it has been 14 weeks yesterday since i lodged my passport application and i have not received anything. I’ve called over 50 times and only gotten through twice and they have told me they are still looking at my application. i am fuming 😤.

[krd @krd18876635]

@dfat the only way to get an appointment to come in is by calling but you can’t even get through?? tax payers money is going towards the APO so hire more people, make the phone line 24/7, do better.

[krd @krd18876635]

@dfat extend the hours of the call centre. this is an urgent matter and people aren’t able to get through via call, email or even in person. why is the phone line for the passport office only open from 8-4pm?
