Thanks for all of your help. Fortunately, there's an angel looking out for me! I got approved today for my 600. Lightning fast 2 day turnaround.

I thought a Visitor Visa was the same as a 600? This one, right? Do you know of any way to expedite it? I really appreciate the insight.

Greetings from snowy Minnesota in the US! Over the past couple months, I've been planning a dream vacation for my elderly parents. I can't remember a time when my mom didn't talk about wanting to go to Australia. Well, I have everything booked and I then applied for everyone's ETA. Everyone else's immediately approved, while mine didn't. I had one bad night in college where I was charged with reckless driving 10 years ago & spent a night in jail. I claimed it on my ETA & I doubt that'll get approved. So I've started filling out the Visitor Visa 600 form. Tomorrow, I should get the results of the Overseas Penal Clearance Certificate, so that I can attach it to my application. Since you're all pretty knowledgeable about this, our trip is planned to start 3/3/18...what are my chances that I can get approved if I submit it tomorrow? Any tips/recommendations for me? Thank you so so so much for anything that you can provide me. Hopefully my next question will be about restaurant recommendations :D.
