05th December 2006 approval!!!!!!!!!!

My fiancee in the US filed for the fiance I-129f petition back in January 2006 and got it sent back because we were $5 short....urghhhh.

Sent it back,then waited whilst they were processing but then they req further information.I sent another packet including air tickets,calling cards,reciepts from when i travelled there,photos,everything i could think of.

August 2006 we got the news it was approved so now need to wait on the packet from Sydney.Got that and did my medical/police check,then scheduled for my appointment.

Tues December 5th 2006 i turned up at 7.30am for my appointment only to see hand written forms are no longer accepted......NOOOOOOOO.Turned out it ws no biggie after letting security know i have an 8am appointment and i dont want to lose my appointment.I was told by him to go to an internet cafe and do the forms there,i can come back anytime before 11.45am.It took me 30minutes all up to do the forms.So off i went back to the consulate through security and waited.I only had to wait not even 30 minutes.Ithen got taken upstairs,through security again.Then was able to go on through (after my deodorant can was investigated lol)

I sat for about 45minutes before i was called to the window.Handed all my forms through,my reciept of payment,and told to take a seat.Another 1hour later called up again and told i have "met all the criteria" but am missing my sons birth certificate (even though he is no longer applying with me).It was still req but was informed will be left up to the discretion of interviewing officer.

sat for another 45-50 minutes and got called for my interview.

Very simple,was asked "why do you want to go to America"?

I told him...."Well its called love"

I got a grin...lol ....(i think he saw i was nervous)

He asked all sorts of questions about how we met,have we met,what does he do for work,has he got children???????

I then offered my copies of emails,calling card statements,photographs,money transfer reciepts,invoivce from boots he sent from victorias secret (and yes they are hot haha)

he glanced,then looked at me and asked when we are getting married?told him original plan was for nye but its too late to plan so asap.

He told me to raise my right hand and swear its the truth....i did."CONGRATULATIONS,YOU HAVE YOUR VISA".i COULD HAVE CRIED BUT I BELIEVE HE SAW THE RELIEF ON MY FACE.....

Through all of this there has been frustration,anxiousnessdelight and excitement but right now am waiting on my travel agnt to get back to me and ready to pick up his wedding band....woooooohooooooo!!!!

All i have to say is make sure you have too much info than not enough because you just dont know.

A couple of tips.......

*if you call the US,a grat card is gotalk,talk tomato and you can get your statements from the web...very detailed

*even the menial things about the two of you may not be so menial after all

*dont do what i did and not sleep the night before....that wait can make you want to catch up on sleep.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THE BIGGEST THANKYOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS POSTED AND I HAVE GAINED TIPS FROM AS IN HINDSIGHT THEY HAVE HELPED ENOURMOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

And to those of you still going through it,good luck!!!!! I think the security got a good chuckle at how happy i was.............tooooofunnyyyyyyyyy

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

05th December 2006 approval!!!!!!!!!!

My fiancee in the US filed for the fiance I-129f petition back in January 2006 and got it sent back because we were $5 short....urghhhh.

Sent it back,then waited whilst they were processing but then they req further information.I sent another packet including air tickets,calling cards,reciepts from when i travelled there,photos,everything i could think of.

August 2006 we got the news it was approved so now need to wait on the packet from Sydney.Got that and did my medical/police check,then scheduled for my appointment.

Tues December 5th 2006 i turned up at 7.30am for my appointment only to see hand written forms are no longer accepted......NOOOOOOOO.Turned out it ws no biggie after letting security know i have an 8am appointment and i dont want to lose my appointment.I was told by him to go to an internet cafe and do the forms there,i can come back anytime before 11.45am.It took me 30minutes all up to do the forms.So off i went back to the consulate through security and waited.I only had to wait not even 30 minutes.Ithen got taken upstairs,through security again.Then was able to go on through (after my deodorant can was investigated lol)

I sat for about 45minutes before i was called to the window.Handed all my forms through,my reciept of payment,and told to take a seat.Another 1hour later called up again and told i have "met all the criteria" but am missing my sons birth certificate (even though he is no longer applying with me).It was still req but was informed will be left up to the discretion of interviewing officer.

sat for another 45-50 minutes and got called for my interview.

Very simple,was asked "why do you want to go to America"?

I told him...."Well its called love"

I got a grin...lol ....(i think he saw i was nervous)

He asked all sorts of questions about how we met,have we met,what does he do for work,has he got children???????

I then offered my copies of emails,calling card statements,photographs,money transfer reciepts,invoivce from boots he sent from victorias secret (and yes they are hot haha)

he glanced,then looked at me and asked when we are getting married?told him original plan was for nye but its too late to plan so asap.

He told me to raise my right hand and swear its the truth....i did."CONGRATULATIONS,YOU HAVE YOUR VISA".i COULD HAVE CRIED BUT I BELIEVE HE SAW THE RELIEF ON MY FACE.....

Through all of this there has been frustration,anxiousnessdelight and excitement but right now am waiting on my travel agnt to get back to me and ready to pick up his wedding band....woooooohooooooo!!!!

All i have to say is make sure you have too much info than not enough because you just dont know.

A couple of tips.......

*if you call the US,a grat card is gotalk,talk tomato and you can get your statements from the web...very detailed

*even the menial things about the two of you may not be so menial after all

*dont do what i did and not sleep the night before....that wait can make you want to catch up on sleep.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THE BIGGEST THANKYOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS POSTED AND I HAVE GAINED TIPS FROM AS IN HINDSIGHT THEY HAVE HELPED ENOURMOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

And to those of you still going through it,good luck!!!!! I think the security got a good chuckle at how happy i was.............tooooofunnyyyyyyyyy
