The agent shrugged his shoulders obviously not caring if I get disqualified for time reasons again.
The 30 day deadline is for making an appointment, not fulfilling it. You can schedule an appointment for after your return from Australia, even if that date is more than 30 days away. The only requirement is that you select an appointment slot in the next month.
