It's driving me nuts as well seeing the July approvals. I can feel for the Mar and April filers who are getting their approvals now.

I haven't had a touch since 06/26/09. Is that mean they haven't done any work on my case? Hopefully our's will be this week.

In any case I am happy that June filers will have their fiances here by Christmas. I just have to remind you all that I was the 1st to say that hehehe...


yeah i want to be there for xmas at least, Cindy's Birthday is 2 Dec, but getting there for that might be asking too much lol

I just want to see some progress, a touch or something lol

I know you all feel what Cindy and I are going though, I was meant to be flighing out in 4 weeks to visit her in the US and have my birthday with her, but thats been cancelled due to us deciding to get married and starting the Visa process and the likely chance of being turned back at LAX. Thankfully theres skype/yahoo/emails and we can talk for hours on end every day smile.gif think thats what makes this wait bearable, knowing it will finish eventually and we will be together again.

For the money transfers -- why not use PayPal? Eric sends money from his PayPal to my PayPal account & I withdraw it down into my Australian bank account. The fees are minimal...I mean we are talking a couple of dollars. From PayPal to my bank account -- 3 days -- 5 days if around a public holiday. This is the system we will be using once I am stateside to send money to my parents.


Paypal on the surface looks cheap, but thier exchange rate sucks, so in effect has hidden fees and works out to be very exspensive.

So I have finally made it to the US, I hope those traveling here it is less eventful than my trip.

Leaving Melbourne, Mother, Sister and her Kids saw me off at the airport, very hard as in the end there was no dry eyes between us.

Flight to Brisbane to catch connecting flight to LAX, though a bit stressing wasn't too bad.

13 hour flight from Australia to LAX was full so no chance of free seats to streach out on, plane makes good time, get to area ahead of schedule, thats where the fun starts

Fog in LA!!! yes thats right fog in LA, after circling LA for an hour we were diverted to Ontario, California About 45 miles east of LAX, there we sat a further 4 hours >< Missed my connecting flight, more on that later. stress level goes up.

POE, immigration.... so we finally get to custom/immigration, wait in queue and finally get to a immigration office, i hand over the "Mysterious Yellow Envelope" and I give him my passport/visa, he looks at it and then proceed open the envelope (inside eveything cindy and i have submitted so far) then he asks me what felony have i committed, at first i didn't understand what he was asking (i have never have had a fellony) i ask him what the question was agoing, i said i have not had any fellonies, he proceeds to ask me a list of things that i might have done like over staying visa, shoplifting, to which i say no to everything, then he tells me the visa says i have a minor fellony, i tell him its wrong, i do not, he porceeds to go over every docu,ent 3-4 times >< my stress level increasesto a high level. he finally can't find anything and lets me though.

Due to stress and lack of sleep i pick up a bag that looked 99% like mine (even had the same locks) get waved through custom and get the run around between Vaustralia and AA about rebooking my flight, realise the bag was not mine, got that sorted out and eventually AA gets on board and I get a flight to dallas where i stayed the night, then got the last leg of my journey and arrive in Charlette 20 hours late.

Not a very good trip here, my 6th to the US and worse by far, but was greeted by Cindy at the airport, that made up for everything.

At 9:15 am today Cindy and I married biggrin.gif best day of our lives biggrin.gif

Does anyone know how closely the consulate looks at address history? My fiance has moved around a lot in the last 16 years and in some places he only lived a month or two so he can't remember the dates on everything.

Plus, he's moving in with a friend of his too but wants to keep his mailing address at his parents house. So do they look into the residence or the mailing address? And how closely do they look at the addresses?

I'm just so paranoid at this getting rejected because he's a bit of a nomad. tongue.gif


From what i can remember they asked for places of residence of 6 months or more, so you don't need to list those that are less than that i believe, just re-read the question and see if it asks that. if its all in the same city, eg melbourne, then i don't think its a big deal. I think this is so that they get all the police checks covered from where you lived, but the police check for us aussies is a national one.

hope that helps

Quick question my fellow Aussies - when you got packet three form Sydney, was it ever a hardcopy? Or did you only ever get an email version of it?


I think that if they have an email address, they will send it to that, if not, a hard copy will be sent.

Both packet 3 and packet 4 were sent to Cindy's email (even though I had giving them mine), so look there too smile.gif


Ok...they have Alex's email, but the email that Alex gave the NVC of mine is wrong! I have two email addy's and the lady at NVC had trouble understanding my usual one, so he gave her my alternate...except he didn't add .au at the end of it, and forgot there was an underscore between my first and last name. When I called NVC to check if our packet had gone to sydney, I corrected the email, but of course, my packet was no longer there. Alex hasn't gotten an email to his account yet, and I have not gotten a hardcopy in the mail. They've had my packet for four days now, and nothing from them yet. I am getting worried!



if your email is incorrect it will bounce and they i'm sure will use Alex's. If your worried, email the consolate with your concerns smile.gif

Hi there all,

My name is Terri & I am newly engaged to my amazing man from Ohio. We are about to start the process for me to immigrate to the USA. We have been reading pages & pages of information & this site seems to be the best informed of them all.

It has made me smile to read so many amazing stories here. I look forward to sharing our story with you all & getting to know you all as well smile.gif


Welcome to Tezzaa VJ biggrin.gif you will find all the information you will ever need here and lets hope you both have a fast and smooth visa journey smile.gif

First bit of advise, don't let the entire process over whelm you, do it in stages, do one step and then start the next one.

There is plenty advice here on each stage and people that have been through it and that are just ahead of you in the process.

One person I found the most helpful on my Journey has been Vannessa's journey, shes is a bit ahead of cindy and I in the process and was also from Melbourne, her posts have been very detailed in writing about her journey, once the process leaves the US and is in Sydney, so look at her threads, even more so if you are in Melbourne, they will help you alot. link: Vannessa & Tony

good luck!!

I had the interview today - APPROVED!

It was fairly painless and straightforward. It felt like I was there for ages but it was maybe an hour and a half (and that's because I got there 45 minutes early and waited)

They asked questions that were answered in the packet 4, so whether they were reiterating things or didn't look that closely at the evidence I don't know. And yes, I did take extra photos with me but they never asked for them kicking.gif still they made me feel more confident to have them just in case.

Thanks for all the advice guys! And goodluck!
