Hi everyone,

Just a quick update on what's going on with me. I had my interview at the Sydney US Consulate last Tuesday and I was there for about 50 minutes the entire process. First I had to deal with a guy who asked for documents that they didn't realise we had already sent them. He was frustrating because he wouldn't listen to what I had to say but I managed to eventually get through to him. About 10 minutes later I was asked to give some finger prints then told to sit in the middle section and wait for a case officer to call me. I waited 10 minutes and he called me to the window for my interview. The entire interview took less than 5 minutes which totally surprised me. I thought I was going to be interigated FBI style but after being married to my American wife for nearly 6 years and having 2 kids with her, I guess they realised we had a genuine relationship. The guy told me my Visa had been approved and they would be sending it in the mail by the end of the week. That was on Tuesday, I came home yesterday from work and my visa had already arrived, i couldn't believe that I had received it in 24hrs. I must admit, when we first started this whole process last August I thought this would still be going well into next year, the US Consulate were extremely fast with everything. It was me who took my time in organising things such as my police records, medical etc etc. We've now booked flights to Idaho for 3rd February! :-D

G'Day Everyone,

I've got my interview at the US Consulate next Tuesday which I'm slightly nervous about. I guess I'm more nervous about the unknown more than anything. Just to give you guys a short background on me and my wife. We met online in 1999 and had an online friendship first that blossomed into a relationship in 2002. I flew to the US and met her December 20, 2002. Proposed Xmas day and we married in the US January 6, 2003. I flew home and 6 months later I went back to the US to bring her to Australia. She was granted a bridging and work visa and we lived together for 2 years when she got pregant with our first child. She was granted perminant residency here in Australia shortly after that. Today we have 2 kids together and now we want to move back to the US. All our paperwork has been filed and accepted by the US Consulate in Sydney and all I have left to do is just my interview at the Consulate on Tuesday. Does anyone have any advice they could share with me with their own experiences of an interview at the US Consulate in Sydney?

Much appreciated,
Chris.
