time is going fast!!

happy to hear everyone is doing exceptionally well!!!

i fly out to the US in a little over a week - i'm so excited!!! ..........

kath thanks for your help regarding the SSN .... will go and apply for that 2 weeks after i get there (apparently you have to give them time to get the paperwork you hand in at the airport.... otherwise its a manual search and apparently takes longer)............

g day I just thought I would tell everyone that I am in the united states! We entered through honolulu and spent 4 days there are are now in seattle before going to our final destination of new york! I shall put my POE experience in the POE forum but it was painless no problem what soever. So good luck to everyone else, before you know it you are in the states.


oh yay!!congrats!!!
....
i cant wait for my own trip.... i'm counting down!!!

so i need more photos for the AOS and medical? the medical you have to do is just the skin test thing right?

that is confusing... i mean why would they issue you a visa and then tell you the financial support isnt good enough? i mean what are you supposed to do?
i hope to hear how it goes for you..... as i'm heading down the same track after i get married and file the AOS.

**quick question...

once we get married, we have to file for the I485 yeah? thats $1010? ... i did download the form that has all this on it but its just so much information on there - i'm not sure which is which.............

oh and when i get to the airport and go thru immigration..... i know i have to fill out the white form on the plane but which queue do i go in? .... (i hope i make sense lol)


just on that - i went to the uscis website.. and they have a supplement form for the I485? do i have to file this one too? its an additional $1000 (a bit rich.....?)..............

can anyone let me know if this extra form was in effect prior to 30th july?............

Dr Waks sent the medical straight to the consulate - so not sure if the other doctor will too, but get your wife to ask for copies if that doctor also sends the results straight to the consulate..
(and if they do) email the consulate about a week later to ask if they were recieved and if there are any openings for a early interview..........
never hurts to ask lol... god knows i pestered them alot with all my little questions....

OMG i had the biggest adrenaline rush in the wee hours of the morning..
i'm all approved right? got my visa, yadda yadda - flight booked for 4th november....
and i'm thinking...
OMG .. police certificate is only valid for 6 months/ 1 year.... then i remember... ooh but i'm approved already so its all good....

does anyone else suffer adrenaline rushes in the wee hours or is it just me?
and even worse.. you cant do anything about it!! lol

Jezz - no i didnt notice that.... where is it?

when you apply for AOS ... Forgotten what that all stands for..........
why would they deny your application?

i mean if your married and followed all the rules to the letter..........?

but 9 weeks to go till i finish work and then 4 days after that i hit the US !!
SharynYFemaleAustralia2007-08-27 19:00:00
Asia: East and PacificLAND DOWNUNDER
dont quote me but i think i read somewhere that if you tell the appropriate people that your leaving is for family reasons that is an emergency you can... i think there might be a specific time frame for you to be out of the country as it were..........
have you emailed the consulate maybe?.... or called USCIS?
