Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	hi david i hear ya frustration over all this and i know were all keeping our fingers crossed for you and the other DCFers... if they are going to bring out this new law why the hell make it so if all their embassey's arent informed first on how to handle it..it makes no sense to me.. i read somewhere about the fees going up and the bloke commented how can they increase the fees when the standard of work being done isnt up to par (not those exact words but close enough) and he is right....it goes with everything right down to bringing out new laws and not letting the left hand is to do when the right hand makes new laws... hope you hear something more positive soon david.. take care kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-02-06 15:38:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	hi ya just looked at the closure thing on the embassey website..melb, canberra and brisbane are closed the others arent..also i looked at bangkok website to see if they too are closing seeing the applications are being sent there and they arent being closed... my question to all this is ... is it a background check on the U.S. citz or the international citz... if it is the U.S. citz why cant they get the citz to get a police check completed with the application..as the overseas fiance has to get...wouldnt this save time and a transfer of the petition...? if im wrong someone clarify for me please cos im a bit confused over this one... kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-02-05 23:02:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	hi cherie welcome to the aussie forum glad you found us...i am from melb too now living in toledo ohio..and i did the K1 journey ...robert and i compiled our petition while being on msn..sending back and forth scanned pages and both of us checking that it is correctly filled out...it took us a whole weekend to get it complete .. so say your biographical information sheet is complete send it to him to check then he does the same thing..this way any mistakes you missed he might catch an it can be corrected...do one thing at a time make copies and put aside then start on another section say your evidence ... keeping everything seperate is the key then putting it all together in the order it needs to be...we did it and we got a quick approval...i know it sounds methodical but it does work...you dont get frustrated by doing it this way..you know the section is completed and doesnt have to be looked at again... the only other bit of advice to give you is be patient...this process can be so frustrating and it doesnt stop until your a unconditional citz in the states... your welcome to post any questions in here even if its been posted before we are a friendly lot and here to help our fellow aussie/american mates.... i use to live in melton where is your fiance...and where will you two be in the states... well ive rambled on too much... take care and good luck on your journey kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-02-03 15:49:00
