LAND DOWNUNDER

[Loke 0]

I'm a Melbourne boy, not Sydney...but either way I wouldn't be much help with the car situation. I was going to put it on ebay or carsguide.com, and then when time started running out I thought about just taking it to a dealer and taking an on-the-spot offer...and in the end I...er, gave it away. It gave me a strangely good feeling but that probably doesn't help you.

I would say if you have the time a private sale will give the best results financially, but if you need tgo get rid of it in a hurry then a dealer or used car yard will get it off your hands quicker. And if you really run out of time you can just leave it in the street with the keys in...I'm sure someone will appreciate it LOL.

thats something i guess.

I'm selling mine at the moment and it's being advertised solely on the web:

- tradingpost

- drive.com.au (Fairfax digital)

- carsguide.com.au

- automarket.com.au

- carsearch.net.au

I recommend the first three as I just added those three and have someone looking at it on the weekend.

I think carsearch is dodgy as I keep getting emails from people in countrys that don't speak english wanting my bank details!

Goodluck!

got a question to any one who went to the US and was a Sydney resident....

if you had a car to sell - who did you sell it to?

a dealer?

private sale?

used car yard?

am trying to sell my car and i didnt want to sell it until the visa came thru..........

Sharyna,

Darryl is from the Sydney area and will be selling his car in a couple of weeks. He is also the business manager at a car lot. I'm sure he would have some suggestions for you as to where to go. I will be talking to him in the morning. If you like I can talk to him and perhaps get you two connected, maybe he can help.

Mailed our AOS today. It is priority overnight so I hope we beat that rate increase or else that will suck eeeeep!

Hmm, I have a question.

I was going back over my documents again, seeing what I wrote and whatnot. It was then I realised I didn't send an extra piece of paper with my DS-230 that had the rest of my dates in America >< (I know I know, <--stupid)

On the actual form, it only has space for 3, but I've been over 6 times, and I listed them from the latest trip back (2006,2004,2003). None of them were for over 3 months, but I guess I'm worried since I didn't state them, they may think I'm hiding something.

Should I send an e-mail with this extra information? (considering it took them 10 days to write back) or just wait till the Interview? They have my maiden name and the dates of when I entered USA under that name, they possibly could track the other 3 if they wanted to.

In the meantime, I'm trying to track down my boarding passes, but most of them have faded beyond recognition ><

hi ya niph

thats a toughy..if they have originally got all your date of visits they might just send you back an enquiry through mail about it ..

but i would probably send them an email stating the dates and asking if the email is sufifcent or do they want you to post it in to them...fingers crossed you get to hear something quicker than 10 days...

take care

Thanks

I guess, being so late now into it, I'm worried about stuffing things up x.X They'd be processing it now if my husband hadn't forgotten to send something either (We're not sure what though x.X) Supposedly sent on the 19th, but as usual, when NVC says they sent something, and when they actually DO, are 2 separate things...

Hi Kath!

Crazy crazy! I want the petition to speed up but the wedding planning to slow down! LOL! I'll still be posting now and then hee hee. I foresee myself being up a lot and I am an internet freak. Thanks for the well wish!

I am waiting for the IV Bill which should arrive any day now. It supposedly takes 10 to 15 days after generation. It's Day 10 now so I hope it's sitting in my mailbox.

I am also waiting for the I-864 instructions although I have James' shortcuts already prepared. I was told my payment was already entered into the system a while back so I can send it in anytime. However, with me waiting for the IV Bill which in turn generates the DS-230 form, I can afford to wait it out a bit for the I-864 package.

The only key item I need is the IV Bill since I can't self-generate the barcode coversheet (it's random). Once I get that and pay it, I can control my destiny (somewhat) on mailing the other items in.

The NVC stage is far more exciting for me than the USCIS waiting game. However, I guess wedding planning that is happening in parallel is making time fly! My wife and I actually split up the task with her owning 60% of the load. I get a whopping 40% hee hee. I am actually into this whole wedding thing (our second wedding within a year span LOL) since it will be a huge family reunion as well. A plane load of my family and hers from the US is coming along for the ride. Get ready as the US invades Oz LOL.

I am racing against time because I want to get the IV Bill paid and processed so I get that DS-230 phone generation email. Before I leave. It's cutting it close but there is a chance I can make it happen. Any case, I can either have the paperwork ready and have my close friend here in the US mail it once I get the message or I can mail from Oz.

I am keeping my fingers crossed I can make this all happen within the next few weeks LOL.

So many things making time go by! It's fast and slow at the same time.

PS. Good luck on your next pass at the driving test!

recieved my visa last night!! woo hoo!!! and expiration date is january 2008.

now does anyone know whats in the brown envelope?...... its like telling a child they cant open their christmas presents early lol............

[Kath 0]

whoo hoo sharyna ..

the brown envelope contains everything on your pettition..even the things you have submitted at your interview..

dont open it. thats the job of the POE officer..as long as you have your passport all is ok to get on that plane to come here...

by the way .. what was the expiration date on your NOA2..thats the thing we were going on about getting the extension done...

great that you received it quick and its in your hot little hands.. now put it somewhere you will not loose it lol...or where it wont be packed cos you need that to be carried with you on the plane....

kath

[SharynY 2]

expiration date on teh NOA2 i think they said was september which was why they extended the date to january 2008. the consulate officer told me that... she was very helpful i think.... which i didnt expect.

will store it in a safe place ............

and i sold my car yay!!!!
