Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	quick update... got my blood tests back... had a tetanus booster (my arm still hurts - where they put the needle feels like its been punched to death lol).... they told me i should get a measles boost (i had measles as a child), rubella boost and a polio boost - but told me i couldnt get pregnant for 6 months.... so i thought oh what the heck i'll wait to get these boosts... but my question is... anyone who has been to the consulate already.... is this vital to have these boosts? and im going for my police check today...	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-20 22:00:00

Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	Guys have a question... how much is the fee you have to pay at australia post? non immigrant fee is $130 immigrant fee is about $490 give or take a buck.... since i'm immigrating wouldnt the latter apply?	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-18 00:40:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	thankyou jezz.... i've yet to check the USCIS website case status because even tho he recieved the letter saying yay.... they didnt update the status on th website.... so i'm going to check it shortly or in the morning since its night over there now.....	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-17 06:05:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	thankyou all!! ok question!! yup question - just when you think you'd escape.... the whole leaving the country forms (tax, enrolment for voting and what not).... how far ahead should i tell them?.... i do my tax in july every year and i know i'll still be here at that time so i should do it then?	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-16 22:36:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	oh and i wanted to tell everyone.. we got the NOA2!!!! yay!! so i'm waiting for the medical centre to call me back to see if the results are in.... and jezz.... i'll ring them and ask them if i can go in on a sunday...... i'm sure they work sundays right? ;-)	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-16 19:17:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	i have to ring the medical centre today to see if they have my results back.. according to the doctor he said it would take a couple of days...... rang the police station... most funny..... they told me to ring 10 minutes before i arrived so that they could tell me if they had someone in custody or not..... i thought it was funny..... but obviously its "dangerous" having someone go in for fingerprints and they have someone in custody......	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-16 17:24:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	thanks Jezz and Girlfrmoz!! got another touch today.... hopefully we'll have good news soon...	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-15 20:57:00

SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-11 20:34:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	hands sharyna a slap stick.. in what context did i use the word biometrics ... your biometrics fee is for fingerprints only relating to AOS after you get over here and get married mate.. the fee you have to pay at the embassey is $130AU money paid at any australia post office..did you find the vaccination sheet i was referring to before to help you ask what you need to be tested for mate... take care kath give me the slap stick lol i pay that fee once i get the packet 3 which is later.... ok... lol..... no i didnt find it... i'll keep looking over your posts.. you've got 42 pages of posts lol... i was on page 8 when i got called away at work ......	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-11 03:43:00
Asia: East and Pacific	LAND DOWNUNDER	someone please hand me a slap stick.... ok... i read in someone's post - kath i think it was .... i was reviewing all your posts for any helpful links... and i noticed that it was said that a fee had to be paid for the biometrics..... is that for the K1 visa? 129F?.... because we sent in the 126f form as well as the 325a form (if thats the right letter or number)..... and paid the initial fee that is stated on the uscis website... is there more? i know i have to pay a fee at the embassy for processing? ........ oh and tomorrow am heading to the medical clinic to get a referral for the blood tests...... and next week will start on the police checks..... hopefully this will nudge it all and make it move quicker!	SharynY	Female	Australia	2007-05-11 01:11:00
