Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	That's what I was hoping for god knows we have waited enough for everything else, would be nice to be at the front of the queue for a change lmao	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-06-12 14:25:00
Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	Congrats!! Welcome to the US It takes a couple of days to be sent out BUT apparently you can go in and get the number earlier.. IF it's been generated at that time. Is there a reason you need it ASAP? Ahh that's cool, no dont need it ASAP really, just my fiancee was saying it takes a couple of weeks for one for a newborn child so was hoping it might be quicker than that for us	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-06-11 23:04:00
Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	Made it!!! am now back with my fiancée in the us Now who can tell me this, I know from the oter threads I need to wait 14 days before going to see social security for a number from them, but can anyone tell me if they give you the number straight away or if it takes some time to get sent out???

Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	Hmmm.....seems like we should ignore their estimate of 7-10 days for the police check....that's three of us that waited more like a month! That information doesn't help us now....but I hope it at least gives those who follow a heads up to get it done early!!! Wish I had done mine earlier...but you know - hindsight is always 20/20 lol Mine took about 3 weeks, but still over the estimated timeframes	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-05-31 06:57:00
Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	thanks mate.. i will be in sydney the afternoon before... ah could get one at the mlc the afternoon before hand.. hopefully.. from what i got told at the post office awhile ago was that the passport sizes for each country were the same size and the photos i used for my medical were normal passport sizes.. so yehhhhh.. ok ill go to the post office tomorrow most probably and pay the fee.. cheers heaps for the help... so nerve racking all this now that its finally happening haha.. good luck on your journey over there.. keep in touch mate Yeah Aussie and US passport photos are deffo not the same dimensions. Here is a pdf that shows the specifications for us passport photos, and also has a list of places that do the US style ones. the one in the MLC building is on the lower level, where the food court is. it's tucked away around the corner and is a kodak express shop, it's near the tunnel that leads to martin place train station. Sure will keep in touch, you too good luck with everything... but you'll be fine Edited by Wayne-Rachel, 26 May 2011 - 07:35 AM.	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-05-26 07:33:00

Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	hey mate.. yessss, today i heard something around lunch time! so exciting and nervous now haha... got it for the 14th of June at 8am, which kind of sucks in time, so i have booked a cheap hotel for the night as its abit of a tight squeeze for time if i was to fly in!.. so excited now.. now confused about what they are saying about what to do with a couple of things, the photo thing, saying its not your typical passport photo.. what the? where do i get these other ones taken? and with the payment for the post office, what do i show them when im trying to pay for the visa thing...? do i tell them a code or what?? sorry about the questions, i will try and look into it more.. but yeh so excited my head is racing! haha Ok.... passport photos have to be us passport size, the 2x" square size same as you would have used for your medical. I did google search for mine and discovered the photo lab in the bottom of the mlc centre under the consulate does them, otherwise maybe try google too (depending on what time you arrive in sydney. As for the payment, I went to the counter and told them I needed to pay the fees for a k-1 visa for the us consulate and they knew what to do. I had printed out this page for reference, just incase I needed it but they knew what I was talking about anyway. They will give you a little slip of thermal paper as a receipt with a unique reference number on it. Don't loose this, as the consulate will only accept the original. Don't be sorry for asking questions... we are all here t give & receive help Congrats on getting the email today too I received my visa in the mail th other day too, so tickets are all booked and paid now	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-05-26 04:38:00

Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	Hi just an update, I called Dr. Millar and the lady there said to just bring with me the evidence of the 2nd shot from my GP to the US, so there's no need for them to update the vaccination form they gave us...I asked if she can give me a copy of the vaccination form to bring to the US, since what I have are photocopies, and she said photocopies are fine. Awesome, thanks for the update Well I'll take the photocopies I have (I made copies of the whole report, no just the pages they gave me) and the two certificates showing my shots are completed and hopefully I wont have any problems Hey I see your interview is soon best of luck, it was all quite easy really...	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-05-20 09:07:00
Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	ok mate, thanks heaps for that... hopefully i hear something tomorrow good luck with the rest of your journey, keep us updated with how it all goes mate... No probs... and I sure will you too.	Wayne-Rachel	Male	Australia	2011-05-19 06:58:00
Australia and New Zealand	LAND DOWNUNDER, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi	oh ok thats not too bad, so hopefully i will get something by email tomorrow! hopefully! all this waiting is painful.. hopefully our date wont be too long away... when you get your date, are you able to request an earlier date if possible? does it come with that option in p4... i have seen someone else somewhere on this site request one i think.. Yeah Curvebell managed to do it on the grounds of a Job offer, the thread she started about it is here: Sydney Consulate Expedite There isn't an option to change or elect a interview date in packet 4, but as said in that thread above, the consulate is very helpful, email them and ask. For instance, my NOA1 & NOA2 forms had my surname spelt wrong. I emailed them about it, and attached of NOA1 & 2, and also the original I-129f to show it had been spelt correctly on the original forms, and i got an answer back the next day saying they would handle and fix everything for me.
