Well after all the stress of 'The Interview' it turned out to be easy peasy. So easy it ended up being a fun day, go figure. It felt so good to walk in there and have a pretty good idea of what was about to happen. The only hiccup I could forsee was the fact that both Mike and I had been married a couple of times before and may get 'grilled' on that. It wasn't even mentioned...

Anyways to the embassy gungadin!! My appointment was for 8am so we (my daughter and I) made sure that we were up there with plenty of time to spare. Note you go to the 10th floor, turn right when you go out of the lift foyer and around the corner til you can't go no more, that is where you first wait, but the security guard doesn't show there til 7.45am, people were already queueing when we got there, we were third in line. BTW on the bottom floor of the MLC building they make really really nice coffee, I suggest you have one or two if you have time, I did!! The guard goes through and checks any b... read complete review

Approved in Sydney!!!!!!!!!!
All went smoothly and I think it had a lot to do with having all the papers well organised, it was much appreciated by the consulate staff.

Number 1. You cannot get to the 10th., floor of MLC building until 7.45am because of some kind of security block on lifts. Once there you need interview letter and they do a quick securtiy check which is quite painless. When u clear security u are taken to the 59th., floor where u clear more security and hand over your mobile phones. Staff were really nice.

Number 2. Take a number and for K1 it is an immigrant visa number, take a seat and sit and wait till your number comes up. My interview time was 8am but I think by the time i got my first call 45 minutes had elapsed.

Number 3. Called up again just to let me know paperwork was all good and she couldn't see any problems and to let me know my name would be called up again sometime soon. A really ... read complete review

quite easy...the worst part was waiting to be called but being organised helped.

the officer who did the interview was quite pleasant and only asked a couple of questions.

all in all much easier than i expected.
