US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPolice Check Questions
I just did the AFP police check. For visa applications you are required to get yoru finger prints taken and they perform a finger print and character check.

Costs $130 if you are here in Canberra.

Not sure how it works if you are OS.

Congrats and good luck for your interview. The consulate in Sydney is really hard to contact, no phone number and I am still waiting for a reply from the email i sent.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWe got Packet 3 today!!!
Thanks Aussiewench, good idea I'll do that. I can't believe I am already a bit nervous, but I think that is more about the move to the USA because it's close now.

Hey, I did have a quick question about the Bio Form in the pack. It says to list everywhere you have lived back to 16 (like I remember). I have lived a lot of places so do you think I should attach a seperate sheet listing everything that I can't fit on the form? That is what we do here in OZ so I thought it should be ok.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWe got Packet 3 today!!!
Thanks Felnfrank and Aussiewench,

Yes have been reading up on aussie interviews. Your interview feedback was very entertaining especially the bit about not wanting to set the security alarms off! :D Sounds like we will be ok, we have all our stuff together (except i didn't realise I needed my previous marriage certificate, I threw it out when I divorced woops!)

I think it might take awhile for us to get an interview with the Christmas break.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical exam postponed
I understand that's expensive.... in my case the US Dr is only 10mins away so I just went back for the urine test in my lunch hour once I stopped menstruating.

Maybe you should postpone cause you definitely can't be menstruating to do the urine test.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical exam postponed
Hi Detty,

Don't worry, I had mine when I was menstruating and it was ok. I did have to go back to do the urine test though but it was all ok. The doctor wasn't worried.

Hope this helps :)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionincome question
Can you scrape up the $300 in assets eg, personal property as someone else suggested? I think they will be strict about this.

Good luck!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 another question
Yeah it's the I-134 that is notarised but it wouldn't hurt to get both. Cover yourself better to have too much than too little. Good luck!
girlfrmozFemaleAustralia2007-02-03 01:58:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionThe I-134 about question number 11

Hopd this helps :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMoney transfers as evidence?
Hi apgk,

I transferred money too and kept the receipts and used them for evidence. It can't hurt to add them into your pack to send off.

Good luck! :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionRAgh! Ragh!
Exactly! You can rant in the Aussie Forum anytime you want..you got our support but out here in general VJ land I am disappointed to say that people just aren't as supportive.

As I said before I have a long timeline, but it really doesn't matter who's timeline is long or who's is short....it's just a tough process all round and it helps to be able to talk about it when you need.

Ameristralians have gotta stick together! :lol:
girlfrmozFemaleAustralia2007-03-19 01:41:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionRAgh! Ragh!
Hey Serendip,

Hang in there, I know it is frustrating but I am sure you will hear soon AND feel free to vent/rant anytime you want to. :) We all know what you are going through and it doesn't matter what timeline you have. Here's hoping that your process keeps being speedy. I wouldn't wish a long process on anyone, been there done that and it's hard.

Remember you have lots of support if you need it in the Aussie Forum.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThank you
Hi dear VJ Folks,

I have been so busy lately getting ready for the big jump from Oz to the USA that I haven't really had a chance to come in here and say hello or read how people are going or even to say thank you...so....

A HEART FELT THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU :luv: who have offered support, shared your lives and experiences, cracked a joke or vented or asked dumb questions (that I wanted to know the answer of too!!) and got hammered for it! :lol: For those who moderate this website and keep it ticking over like a well oiled machine...thank you. What an amazing and diverse virtual community. We are very lucky to have it!

Tomorrow I fly out and the next time I come on here it will be from the USA having started my big adventure just like so many of you. :star:

For those of you still waiting hang in there....it's all so so worth it! Wishing you a speedy journey to your loved ones! :)

Take care

I'll check on the Springs contact again and see if I can find out what the hold up is in your getting a response. Your email may have gone to spam. Happens to me! I'll do my best to get you some great contacts, promise! I've got a growing and broad CO network going now, and I'm getting that IT lingo down a bit (hanging out with other nerds :lol:)


Hey Szsz,

I really appreciate all the support you have given me. A heart-felt thank you to you. But what happened while I was asleep?? You brought in yummy food and the clothes were beautiful..mmmm...but I can't stop thinking about that food. I had all my times out of whack yesterday, it's actually Saturday lunch time now and I'm hungry thanks to you!! :lol: I would love if everyone could share their recipes with me, the food just looks so so yummy!

Makes our food for the Australia Day long weekend look a bit boring! :lol:
