wooooooooooooooooooot congrats :dance::energy::content::reading::dancing:

When I was organising my things for my interview,

the list on how the Consulate likes things in order.. re Paperwrok when you have Interview.

this is what the Consulate sent me (I had an CR1 interview):

  1. One photograph
  2. Valid passport
  3. Visa Screen Cert - for healthcare workers - prolly N/A for you
  4. Original Birth Cert and one photocopy (I had mine certified, went to the local police station and asked -- thanks for the tip on that 1 Lyndel!)
  5. For minor childre - court order verification sole custody to immigrating parent...Im guessing N/A for you too?
  6. Original Adoption decree or evidence of name change when applicaple, original and one photocopy
  7. Original Divorce Cert and one photocopy
  8. Original Marriage Cert and one photocopy
  9. Original Police Cert and one photopcy
  10. Original Court Records if applicaple and one photocopy of each
  11. Original Military Record if applicable and one photocopy of each
  12. Evidece of financial support - I-864
It didnt state where the medical was to go,

so I just put mine at the end and had no problem with it.

I gave them the original, I made copies for myself and one to hand in just in case.

They did keep the original though (it was that booklet you gave to the doc).

Hope that helps coming with your Interview

Cheers

Paul

Hey again :D ... I got a checklist with my letter and the only things I need to bring with me are my passport, the receipt for the Visa Application Fee and the 3kg envelope .... and your evidence of cause of ongoing relationship, wasnt mentioned but one would assume you take it with you :blink:

With Sydney you now have to include all the original documents with pack 3 or they wont give you an interview ... medical results is included in pk 3 for Qlders the police check gets forwarded to the embassy when completed by the police dpt that does the check...

Im still a little anxious about getting the originals back .. I had to inc birth Cert, Marriage Cert and Divorce Decree in my pack .... I spose its a bit pointless to worry about now but ya know ...

Question - The thing Im not sure about ... do they keep your passport and then send it back with the visa or do you keep your passport after the interview and they just mail out the visa??????

Today is the Tomorrow, you worried about Yesterday .....
