Australia and New ZealandWe are legally married!
On June 4th we tied the knot, couldnt have done it without the good people here at visajourney! We're so happy!

Just one quick question though, I know we are supposed to notify someone if we move, who do we notify and how? We moved into a townhouse at the end of last month! Thanks :)

Hey all, just popping in again to say hi :) Things are going well here, Ben got his work authorisation back in January, and he's been working ever since. I still can't believe its only 4 short months until we were legally married! Time flies! Just wanted to thank everyone in the aussie forum and in this forum in general :)

I hate credit, you mean to tell me in Australia I don't to worry about credit? OMG why didn't we go there lol (I have NO credit which somehow is worse than having bad credit...I just like paying things off completely without making payments!)

I do have a car payment now which isn't bad I guess...that will help to build it too :D

How do you opt out of voting forever? Ben hasn't done anything of that sort, should we be expecting a fine? His parents haven't said anything about it.

Good news is though, we finally got his paperwork sent off! That fine is such a ###### and a half! I can't wait until he can work so he can help me out hehe (he can't wait either, its killing him to not be working!)

If I could afford a plane ticket out there, I would have been there long before this point, lol. I'm getting desperate. But we're trying to save all our money for AOS and moving, and other expenses we'll have to deal with. I'd love to take another trip to Australia, and I know I will at some point down the road to visit his family again. Some of them are coming for the wedding though. =) That should be interesting. His mom is staying at my grandpa's house just across the yard. I have a feeling she's going to be stuck watching a million home videos. =P We'll have to keep rescuing her and taking her places.

I know what you mean about Darling Harbor and the accent! Although, I just love that accent no matter what they say, lol.

You're hoping for September for the warm weather, and my fiance is hoping to be out of there BEFORE the heat starts. :lol: He likes the cold better.


So does mine! I'm like You're AUSTRALIAN!!! You should be used to hot weather :rofl: Although he agrees having been here for 2 summers that Virginia feels hotter than summers in Adelaide due to our overwhelming humidity XD

Congratulations!!!! I had LAX for my POE on K1 too, was really easy, no hassle and as always (from my experience anyways) all of the officers and staff there are really nice and helpful :) Although, there was one security officer who looked at me weird because i got my boarding pass for my next flight in South OZ, so it looked different to theirs i guess, lol.


Thanks!! Thats good to know, I'm sick of problems LOL Oh hey, I read that it won't be a problem to use a round trip ticket, we just need to cancel the return, is that easy to do and is there usually a fee? He booked it from the United website :3

Thanks guys! I'm glad to know we're not alone! Ben wasn't able to get his Driver's License in West Virginia on a EAD. Unfortunately we have to wait until we're approved. Your best bet is to go to your local DMV with all the information you have (NoA, proofs of residence, passport, etc) and see if they will let you take it. The worst they can do is say no!



Your dating timeline is so close to ours XD Only opposite because our first meeting was in Australia when I went to visit my Ben, and he used the working holiday visa to live in the US :3 And instead of WV we are in VA xD

Ben already has a drivers licence from when he was here, do you think he can renew it when he gets back here?
