Consulate Review: Sydney, Australia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 16, 2007 Embassy Review : Well, I am finally back from my 5 day trip to Sydney and my interview!! My Interview took place on Thursday, 12th April.Everything went well..except a minor hiccup...the $130 processing fee to the consulate was a money order cheque (the lady at the post office here in Perth told me that's what I needed- I wasn't so sure..so I trusted that she knew better!) I got to the lady who checks the paperwork (Dragon lady?)..she wasn't very nice/patient and she asked where my receipt was...and I responded that she was looking right at it (stuck to the outside of my passport) she responded that this is not the receipt..it's a receipt showing that I paid $130 to the US consulate general..but in the form of a money order..and that I cannot have my interview right now!! My stomach sank....and I felt a huge lump in my chest and throat...she then proceeded to say that if I went downstairs and paid another $130 at the post office get the correct receipt..I can then go back through security checks and up to her at level 59 and signal her..and she will see to me right away (that was nice of her)..I rushed downstairs...went to the post office..saw that it was only opening in 40 mins..so had to wait until it opened..ran back up to Level 10 for security checks again and then proceeded up to level 59...she checked all my paperwork..said it was fine and then told me to take a seat for my interview..which went very smoothly..A young American man interviewed me..and was very warm and friendly (it seems that most people have been interviewed by him at the Syd consulate) it lasted all of 5 mins..he didn't even ask to see all the additional evidence and paperwork I prepared..he said the petition was good enough and then said..."Congratulations! Visa Approved!" Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
