In the packet three, do you get medical exam information and a list of required immunizations? Or does it get sent in packet four?

HELLO ALL!!!! I know I know I haven't been here in AGES. I do pop in now and then and read how everyone is doing! <<<<<<<<<<WAVES to everyone I know!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>

So this is the first xmas we're spending together in America. We've spent the last two in Oz - so it's weird. Things are going very well!!! We are getting ready to file for removal of conditions just after the new year. We have all of our stuff ready to go prety much - just need to make copies and get it together.

Any news from anyone??? Stewart and I are just another boring married couple now! which quite honestly...is awesome!!

Hope everyone is doing well- and MERRY XMAS!!!!! to all!

Wowww that is quick!!! Maybe they had a cancellation. Will you have all your paperwork ready? I know what you mean by not being mentally prepared though. My fiance is going to send in his packet 3 on the 2nd, so maybe we'll get a quick interview too

Happy Christmas to you too!!

Hi!! You do get the medical exam info in packet 3, and I think it has info about required immunizations too. When you call to schedule your medical, you can check with the physician on the immunizations you need for your age group. I think it's basically MMR, Td (tetanus/diptheria), and Vacirella.

Merry Christmas to you!!

As it is Christmas in Australia, this is my nifty present:

I GOT MY GREENCARD TODAY yays

Now to hope my SSN isn't lost in the christmas mail x.X

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL

Oh cool. Thank you for that info.

A very merry Christmas to all!

Pat - Congrats on the interview date! Well its a good thing you have been on the ball and you're all prepared.. you just have to get your mind there! ;-) My interview is Jan 22nd and that's close enough! But I am still waiting on medical report. You have all you need so you'll be JUST fine. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for all the replies on the passport picture too... I guess I'll make those copies!

On entry to the US while a CR1 visa is pending, well... I'm here and having a wonderful time with my other half. Customs were kind to me. The customs officer was about to pass me through and decided he wanted to ask me a question about who lived at the address i put down on my landing card. I answered "my husband" and there were no further questions.. so I walked on through!

I trust everybody had a wonderful and happy Christmas! I was lucky that I got to spent mine with Zach this year and not only that, he got to spend it with my family too.

Speaking of Zach, he left to go back to the US early this morning. Very, very sad. More tears than usual but I think most of the tears he shed was for my family who (unfortunately) won't be coming to the US to marry him He has become really close to all of them after over 4 1/2 years here so it was a very sad day. But we both knew this day would come...



Confession time. We notarized our Affidavit of Support wrong so I'm going to Sydney without ALL of my required forms. But the Consulate has given us the OK to come on ahead and just send the forms when they come in. The thing is, I'm still hoping it will get to me by Monday - even if Zach has to courier it (door to door even). He is going to get a JP to notarize it at the St Louis airport as soon as he steps off the plane tomorrow and sending it over my way. I'm not getting my hopes up that it'll get to me (unless we're prepared to pay a small fortune to make it happen).

So yeah, even though I kept preaching that one should wait to get all their paperwork done before sending the "Ready to be Interviewed Form", I failed it myself! Oops. So wish me luck, guys. I'm mentally prepared for this - I have nothing to hide and my intentions are genuine towards starting my life with Zach in the US. I guess the "rush" of it all just got me flustered. Like I said, I should have been grateful I got such an early date.

All the best to everybody else!

To anyone who may be concerned... I e-mailed the Sydney consulate about form DS-1858 - Sponsor's Financial Responsibility Under The Social Security Act. They replied back to me today saying that it is no longer a required form.

To Our Dear Visa Journey Friends,

I know that it has been awhile since I have been here to check up on you and your progress and I am sorry about that. With two kids and the Christmas holidays, Loke and I have been extremely busy and unable to even check our e-mail most of the time. I hope that all of you are doing well and that things are progressing for you in your journey. I know that many of you have come so far and I hope you hold on because it does get easier.

Life has been wonderful since Loke has been home and we owe it all to your support and all of your help through our journey. If there is any way that we can help you through yours, please don't hesitate to e-mail or ask us.

On January 11th (January 12th in Australia)Loke and I will be going for our final adjustment of status interview. We are getting all of our paperwork prepared and we are pretty confident about the whole thing. I will let you know how that goes. He finally got his SSN and his EAD and now he has a car so he is mobile It snows a lot here so he is getting adjusted to the change in weather.

In March, we are flying back out to Australia to Perth and staying in Fremantle for a couple of weeks so I am completely excited about it. I miss Australia so much and the thought of going back there just makes me soar.

I hope that all of you had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a wonderful New Year!

With all of love, hope and support,

Rings & Loke

I'm 90% there collating all of my stuff for my interview on Wednesday. Just rounding up a few more examples of our relationship and I think I can do one last check tomorrow with Zach (via the beauty of the Internet) and I can confidently fly to Sydney.

I did hit a glitch yesterday. I went to Australia Post to pay for my visa processing fee and get my 3kg envelope. Envelope was fine. Visa processing fee not so much. The lady said $120 please and I said, the fee has gone up to $157.20. She then gave me the bad news that unfortunately she wouldn't be able to give it to me for $157.20 because they can't change the amount that's on the computer system. Grrrrr. Panic sets in and I didn't know what to do. A few hours and another Australia Post shop later, I just decided to pay for the NON-REFUNDABLE $120.00. Because it's a public holiday on the 1st and my interview is at 8am on the 2nd, I can't get the fee before my interview and in the letter that the Consulate sent me informing me of the increase in fees they did mention that if you've paid and your interview is after 1st Jan then you just need to pay the difference - they just didn't stipulate HOW one does this. So fingers crossed all goes well in that department. I can either give them cash or another form, they just need to tell me HOW!

So, any pointers on how I can survive the anxiety between now and Wednesday?

Buy two of the $120.00 receipts... it will cost you more, but you will be covered. They will not accept the lesser receipt if the fees have increased. I would take all caution and buy two if you can afford it.

Thanks for the advise, we may just go that way.

But my plan of attack is call the Australia Post at the MLC Centre first thing tomorrow morning and ask them how they would go about it (if anyone outside of the Consulate would know, I would think/hope they would). I have also emailed the Consulate for an answer but I highly doubt they'll get back to me by COB tomorrow. I think to just cover my bases, I may just get a money order for the difference (at least that's refundable).

Grrr. If only I had taken care of this before Saturday, at least I wouldn't be so anxious! I think I'll go veg out and watch some DVDs to force myself to chill out

I have another question, does the Consulate NEED/LOOK AT my Medical X-Ray? Is this something I need to bring along to the interview?

Merry Xmas everyone....

H.D glad to see you made it safe and sound over there and that customs gave you no strife! I was wondering how all that would go.

Patriciaofoz, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you only need to take the medical report of the X-ray to the consulate appt. but that you have to take the physical X-rays with you when you move to the states. Will definitely be thinking of you on Wednesday!!!

Rings, your AOS interview is on my daughters bday! All the best with that.

Jennybeni, your wedding day looks to be one week after ours! We are waiting until after that to file for the K3.

hi patrica
as to your dilema mate...dont get a postal order they wont accept it...i remember a post from someone who had a similar situation but it was about a perth post office giving her the wrong kind of receipt...

gawd i hope im not wrong in this one but i think the outcome at her interview was that she had to go downstairs to get the correct receipt and go back up and hand it in...for the life of me i cant remember the username of this person..try checking the aussie embassey reviews think she might of put something about it in there...

good idea about contacting the mlc post office im sure they will be able to help you bet they get heaps of people going in there for just this kinda thing...and no they dont need to see your x-rays mate just your medical...it is a stressful time mate you will do fine im sure...good luck to you for your interview...

hope everyone had a lovely christmas and here's to a fantastic 2008 of many reunions and for those here a great and happy 2008 to be in store for you all..
take care
kath

Kath is right. This happened to one of our very own Aussie couples early on. Please get the second receipt! They will not accept a money order. They will send you away. Please hear us hun *hugs*

You should bring the X-ray with you as well.

In fact, put it this way... if there is a question in your mind on if you should bring something, the answer is always YES. It hurts more not to have something than to bring it needlessly.

The best of luck.

~Rings

money order receipt rejected embassey review

hey pat
i found who it was..take a look at the above link and read Tamazo's review hope it helps settle your nerves a bit.. i'm wondering if you should take the receipt in that you have..explain it to them..and if you can afford it pay for the total amount then get a refund from the post office you got it from..who knows MLC might be able to advise you on it also..

take care
kath

Hi lovely people

Thank you so much for all your posts of concern but it turns out I'M A BIT DYSLEXIC because the letter and the website actually said "January 31, 2008" and here I was thinking that any interviews after "DECEMBER 31". I think because of my anxiousness it kept making me think I needed to pay the new fee (and also the fact that they wrote it on my sheet that I needed to pay $157.20 (so it wasn't entirely my fault)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So at the end of it all I'm covered. Phew. BUT THANKS for all your advice. I would go insane without you guys!

BTW, my email to the Consulate was answered first thing this morning and they pointed out my BIG mistake at reading

I've just photocopied all my documents three times over. I'm going to check it once, twice, three times more between now and my 7.20am flight out to Sydney tomorrow morning.

This may well be my last post until I come home Wednesday. Send me good vibes for Wednesday morning!!!

P.S. Have a lovely New Year's Eve festivities this evening/tomorrow evening (wherever you may be!)

xx

YAY GREAT NEWS !!! GOOD LUCK DOLL!!!!

I'm in Sydney! I just checked in at my hotel (Radisson Plaza - 2 minutes away from the Consulate apparently - according to google maps anyway!) and this hotel is really good at keeping my mind off things. I'm just going to chill out all of today, check out early tommorow morning, get in line nice and early and get it over and done with as soon as humanly possible. I'm generally a very anxious person so getting out of the Consulate is my Number ONE goal

Thanks for everybody's best wishes. Great to know that others have gone through this before me and have come out unscathed. I'm not even really sure why I'm so anxious. I guess because here I am laying it all out there and at the end of the day it's up to a person (or two) to determine whether Zach and I get to spend our lives together in the US. It's so daunting even though it seems like the most natural thing to do - to be together - only there's a Government process in the way

But rules are rules and this one isn't made for breaking

Signing off...I know I won't get told that I'm approved tomorrow because the Affidavit of Support Notarized forms didn't reach me in time. But at least if there's anything wrong with our paperwork, I can be told tomorrow and it can be dealt with. I am praying I come out of the Consulate really happy - and at least be told that as long as I get those I-134's in, then it's all good for us to start planning our lives in the US.

here's hoping I've crossed my t's and dotted all my i's!

Take care everybody, send me good vibes remember

P.s. Hope you all had a smashing New Year's! I can't believe I fly into Sydney a day AFTER the fireworks spectacular!!!!

Awe Patricia! I hope it all goes well. Loke and I wish you the best of luck! We went through this and I know how nerve wrecking it is *hugs*

You will do great! Let us know how it goes!

I'm home! I got home on the last flight out of Sydney last night. Relieved that it's all over and done with.

A summary:

Got to the Consulate just before 7.30am, waited for about 10 minutes and then they'll let us up. There were about 10 of us who went up in one batch and then surely but surely more and more people kept coming through even before the security guards arrived. In the end, I was third in line for security checks and first as an "IV" applicant and got to sit in the "special row" . At just after 8am they let us "IV" applicants up the elevator (there were 4 of us) and as luck would have it, I got into the elevator first so I got out last meaning I was last in line when we went in to Level 59.

The first couple (they were K1 too) had the wrong visa processing fee so the fiancee had to go to the post office to get the right one. That held up the proceedings quite a bit. The other guy in line was an American citizen that just needed a visa so he was in and out. Then up went the second guy (he was a young guy and he probably wasn't a K1). Then me! I got up there just after 9am, gave the lovely lady all my paperwork, she told me to sit down (and admire the view from L59) while she looked over my stuff. I pointed out the I-134s for Zach and his parents aren't there but all the supporting evidence were (plus I put unsigned copies of the I-134s so she could see exactly what she'll be eventually getting). About 20 minutes later she was all done and told me to wait for the interviewer. She even wished me "Good Luck!". She was lovely and really put me at ease.

Then 10 minutes later, I got called up to the next window and the Consulate guy and I just started having a "casual chat". He asked the mandatory "So, you're engaged?" and then it went on from there. He made a comment that I will love Missouri (they had a massive poster of the Gateway Arch by the computers so that was a good omen for me). Chat, chat, chat and then a couple of minutes later he told me I was approved PENDING I get the signed I-134s in. I told him it is definitely on its way (and when I got home last night, one set of it was waiting on my bed!). I left my passport with them (he offered to give it back but I knew I had to just give it back anyway so I thought they might aswell keep it) and then we said our pleasantries goodbye and I got out of there!

So there you have it! Conditionally approved! Yay! Now we can start planning our Missouri wedding, look at one way flights and go from there - I just realised there's sooooooooooooooo much to do between now and when I eventually leave. Tomorrow I put in my resignation at work and now seriously preparing for the big move. Any pointers?

At the end of the day, I didn't need to freak out and I did calm down as soon as I got there and waiting (as impatient it got at times) really helped me out. And I truly believe that without you guys and the abundant knowledge out here on VJ, I would have been more nervous - because after reading reviews and getting your comments and advice, it really helped to know how the day was going to go so there was no "surprises". So everybody, THANK YOU!

P.S. As I took the shuttle to the airport from my hotel, I had a lovely couple from LA who also stayed at the Radisson with me. And get this, when we started conversing and I told them I was moving to Missouri and just had my Consulate appointment today, the guy is actually an IMMIGRATION AGENT/LAWYER - so he helps out people like me/us! Talk about small world, hey?

Aw Pat that is awesome!! Congrats!!!!! When are you going to leave?

Congratulations Pat! I am very excited for you guys! I hope you get the rest sorted out asap and your passport is back in your hands asap with visa!

As for me an my hubby, we are still enjoying a little vacation time.. I'm back in Oz next week so I'll need to collect my medical report (that should be just about ready for me to collect from the panel physician upon my return) for my interview on Jan 22nd.

Just curious about the discussion regarding $120.00 and a receipt from the post office... I have not heard anything about this previously. Any chnace this only applies to K1/K3 visa's?!

Bye for now & take care.

HD.

I'm looking at a late Feb. departure. It's my little sister's Sweet 16 on the 21st and I really want to be here for it. So it looks like a late Feb. departure from Adelaide and hopefully the wedding about 4 weeks after that.

Great to hear you're enjoying time with your husband, HD. All the best with your medicals - I'm sure it'll all be good.

Awesome news patricia *hugs*

Congrats Patricia! So glad that it worked out well for you.


Quick question to anyone... Does packet three need to be signed for, or is it delivered like regular mail?

Thanks, guys!

Packet 3 (actually NONE of the letters from the US Consulate) doesn't need to be signed.

congrats pat...the interview is about the easiest part of the whole journey i reckon...

katz packet 3 is delivered by normal mail ... does not need to be signed for at all...

kath

Thanks guys! That's good to know. Phew.

Sharyna, sorry to hear that you're sick! That sucks... I hope your wedding day was lovely and went very well.

katz!!
thanks! i'm doing much better with the flu now... get to get used to the cold brrrrrr heheehhe

Hi Kath *hugs* awe I have missed you! I hope that you are doing well and that things are getting along for you here in America. how is the job going? Send Rob hugs from us!

Sharyna, I hope you get better I hate being sick. Awe do you have wedding photos??? I bet it was wonderful. I can't wait to see them! You should adjust status as soon as possible sweety.

Hello everyone!!!

Loke and I are doing well. I am getting nervous. We have tripple checked our paperwork and I got a letter from the mobile home park on their letterhead stating that he lives with me and has undergone their credit check in order to live here. I also got a letter from my employer stating that I have added him to my medical insurance as well as the medical cards with his and my name on it. We have letters that were mailed to him here with his name on it and we also have a joint savings account now and he has a personal bank account at the same bank as I do. I have changed my name legally to his last name, but hell... I am still worried that it may not be enough evidence. Of course we have tons of photos and he has a car registered in his name to my address and the title is registered to my address... eeeep... this has to be enough right? We are both insured to drive each others cars and both our names are on the car insurance....

Hmm... you think that's enough? Every damn time we have to do this crap, I go into freak out mode as if they are going to tear him away from me

okay... freak out mode must have just started.....

Hey guys! Good to hear that everyone is doing well and enjoying the "lovely: winter we are having!

Well, my EAD card has been ordered, so look out Walmart, here I come!

Whoo-hoo! Finally got packet three yesterday! It all seems fairly straight forward... Although that's not stopping me from worrying about it all anyway. Haha. I've filled out the national police clearance already (downloaded the forms from www.afp.gov.au ) and then it'll be a quick trip to the cop shop for finger printing later (hopefully!).

Is it just form "DS-2301 Immigrant Visa Application Part 1, Biographic Data" that I send back? Do I have to send it with the "Applicant's Statement of Readiness To Be Interviewed" form, or can it be separate?

Oh boy... Don't get me started on the medical stuff! Haha. Do I fill anything out on the forms or is it all for the doctor to do? Even after reading the instructions and the forms over and over, I'm still kinda confused. Any advice would be very much appreciated...

Sorry to bug you all... I feel so very nervous already.

Yay for Packet 3! I remember that feeling...seems like months and months ago!

Send the DS-2301 ASAP (says she who took a week to send it back ). You send the Interview one later on, when you've collated everything (says she who send it a wee bit early and therefore got an earlier interview date). Seriously, I didn't follow ALL the rules but I think it's worked out for the best.

As for the medicals, boy, that also seems like a lifetime ago (or rather, I've decided to just blur it out of my memory). From memory the only things I filled out are when I got my X-Ray and also when I had my final medical. I visited the Doctor twice (one to get my HIV/Syphilis test and X-Ray) and then the actual examination. I found my first visit to be really helpful and the lady who helped me out was really thorough and very, very helpful. They'll guide you through it because they've done it a billion and two times before. Also, my Dr. sent me their very own "instructions", and it's a step by step guide - this would have been useful to be given by the Consulate, but alas they don't. So maybe call your Dr. and see whether they have a similar guide.

Enjoy the joys of Packet 3!!! If you have any other specific questions, let us know!

hi ya rings and loke
things are going well here...job is still going well..they have cut back on hours but thats ok been having some quality time with robbie on the days i have off...what ya got sounds pretty good mate for you interview..dont forget the marriage certificate and any utility bills you might have jointly...dont stress too much mate its a straight forward interview from what i have read...good luck for the interview mate let us know how u went..

hi kelli
congrats on the EAD mate...and good luck in the job hunting also...were having another mild winter here actually so far..we had 66f yesterday it feels so good not to rug up to go outside....

hi ya katz
dont fill anything out on the medical forms ..the examiner does that...dont forget to get your ammunity testing done under medicare at your local doctor...the x-rays are done on examination day or when you want it scheduled..also if ya a k1er dont forget to get a copy of the medical results for your own records and for the AOS...

am sitting here watching the buckeye game...what a game...i cant believe second championship game they been in since i have arrived and they have been slaughtered...hubby is not happy and i guess most ohio fans will be the same way...

take care
kath

Oh thank you so much for your help! *bows*

So... What exactly happens at the actual examination? I don't have a complete record of what vaccinations I've had... Does that matter?

Once again... Thank you!

hi katz
as i said in my post..go to your local doctor and ask for blood tests relating to your age group on the sheet in packet 3 to see which ones you are ammuned to...ask the pathologist to put these tests on medicare..get your doctor to print out the results on his letter head...also you can get the syphillis and hiv testing done...the x-rays you have to pay for which the medical examiner will schedule for you...take these results to the medical examination...

at the examination they take blood pressure ask your weight and take your height heart examination pulse and so forth...there are other posts recently that explained this also..

good luck
kath

As Kath suggested, go to your local Dr. and get an Immunity Test. Not sure how old you are but if you're 27 (like me) all I needed to get done as Tetanus/Diptheria, Mumps/Measles/Rubella, Chickenpox and...Varicella (I hope that's all the right names). Packet 3 should have the chart that you need to base it on. And while you're getting that done, might aswell include HIV/Syphilis (I didn't know about this so I had to get it done at my first visit with the Panel Physician). If you're missing any of the required vaccines, get it done at your local Dr., I'm sure it'll be cheaper (if you're poor like me, I found a community immunisation clinic and I got my Tetanus/Diptheria for free - just make sure you ask for a results sheet/letter from them).

The final examination was quick and painless. Few questions (that are on the Medical Examination Sheet), he checked my weight, asked what my height was, made me lie down on the bed and he listened to my heart and pressed down my sternum. And then that was it!

Fantastic! Thank you for the info! I've made the appointment for Tuesday next week. Never thought I'd say this... But I can't wait for it (to be over and done with, that is.). Haha.

hey guys finally ran into a hiccup lol

went to pick up our marriage certificate yesterday but it wasnt recorded, they HAD recieved it but not yet imputted it into the system.... so i have a copy of the license/marriage certificate that the preacher gave us. do you think that will be enough to be able to use to file for the AOS?
its a customer copy signed and dated by the preacher with a witness.....

thoughts? i have to file before 4th feb - and they said it could be another couple of weeks... but we're going back on friday to give them another work week to do it....

we got married 15th december....

Sharyna,
congratulations on your recent wedding! You don't "have to" file before your I-94 expires. You only had to get married by then. Getting married makes your status ok untill you file and are approved for AOS. Just file as soon as you can, so you get your GC sooner and all the "perks" that come with it
I don't think marriage licence you got from the preacher would be accepted. Those are more for your record, but they are not an official government document. Don't stress though - just wait for your regular marriage cert and file after you get it.

A big hello and best wishes to everyone else !

ausqueen, you just took a massive load off me!!!! i had a migraine from it lol...
thankyou for that information!!!

Hi All

Well I am back in the land of Oz after another sad farewell at Honolulu airport yesterday morning.. We are trying to tell ourselves this goodbye is different as we know my next entry to the US will be on a one way ticket (with any luck!! :-)).

I collected my medical report from the panel physician today so I'm all ready to go! Hotel and flights all booked! Sydney, here we come!

Thanks to ALL for helping with my questions. I have been a complete stress head about all of this.. a little time away and reunion with my hubby has reassured me that all will be JUST FINE.

Katz - Pat and Kath's advice on the medical helped me, I got the immunity tests and had all of the necessary shots Pat mentioned above (I'm 28). I took documentation of all immunisations administered with me to my medical. he said I did not require anything further. Just a note on the HIV and Syphalis test though, although I got it ahead of time (from my GP), the panel physician said he could not accept it and I would need to have it done again! So wait for the actual medical for that one, no point in having your blood taken twice like I did!

P.S. Still a little confused about the $120.00 payment I read about in Pat's posting a few pages back. Anyone know if this also applies to CR-1 visa's also or is this only for K1/K3 categories? I didn't read anything about it in the set of instructions I received from the consulate so I'm assuming it does not apply to me but just want to be sure..

Congrats on the wedding, Sharyna! (I can't wait for mine...)

...and mine will be APRIL 5th!!!! We sealed the date today with the priest. So happy! And appropriately enough, we found out our date exactly a year to our "second" wedding (aka the non-rushed-one). Yipe, we get married a second time around (it's more of a renewal of vows) this time next year. Joy.

Welcome back to Oz, HD. Great to hear you had a lovely time with your husband. And yes, the excitement of KNOWING that the next time you go to the airport it's for THAT flight is....too much to bare! YOu'll get there soon enough!

Sorry, can't help you with the $120 fee - I only know the K1 rules and that's enough for me If it's not on your checklist from the Consulate then it must not be required. Perhaps check the flowcharts for your appropriate visa somewhere on here.

So you'll be in Sydney on January 22nd!? Me too - I'll be there for the week for my work! If you're free in the evening and got no one to hang out with, maybe we can meet up for a drink and celebrate!
