Answer 1

OMG you only have a couple of weeks, did you ask them when you were filing the papers?

I know someone who moved from UK to Aus and it took months, abd they paid a good agency to speed it along.

It really depends on what type of visa, ie working/visiting and contact the embassy itself.

Answer 2

6 to 8 weeks.  when did you send it?

Answer 3

If you are just going for a holiday, up to 3 months, why not get an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)?

You can do this on line, with your travel agent or the airline reservation desk. I have attached the link for the Australian ETA below.

It's a completely different story if you plan on working, going to school, or living their. If that is the case you need to contact the embassy as soon as possible. Even then, you may have to change you plans.
