So after applying for our visa only back in March, my wife has had her interview yesterday and we've been approved for an IR-1 visa.

We had a very limited time to get it in and we beat our deadline by only a week... what a crazy journey.

This forum and website has been INVALUABLE. So a big thank you to everyone that helped me (particularly Darnell and canadian_wife with my very first question). The information on here is amazing.

So we're moving from Australia to the US in just 3 weeks... we've had a few months potential preparation and gotten a lot of things in place, but it's only this week we've been able to pull the trigger on a lot of things. Going to be a crazy time, but a big adventure. My wife is pregnant and we are very excited about having a california girl :)

Thanks again everyone.

Will do, especially with some of the stuff we went through getting an expedited visa, sounds like not many people have experience with it, be happy to share my info.
