Questions regarding Australian ETA and eVisitor

ritesh_17

I applied for ETA and it got granted last month... (Through migrationexpert)

However, I was dumb enough to also apply for an eVisitor, even though I had an active ETA.
The eVisitor is processing, and my flight to Australia is on the 18th of February.
Is my ETA still active or has it been ceased, considering that the eVisitor is being processed.

On the eVisitor site, it says that my ETA is In Effect.

If the eVisitor continues for processing and is not granted after the 18th, will I be able to enter Australia using the ETA?

How long will it take for my eVisitor to be granted? It has been 14 hours and it is still saying Processing.

Thank you very much... I'm very worried.

Evisitor is usually instant, but as you've stuffed the system up with an ETA.....

Email them and tell them what you have done. That's what I did when I screwed up.

It was sorted in a jiffy.

Edit: This is the email address... eVisitor.Helpdesk@immi.gov.au

Include your name, address and ref number, if you have it.
