DS-160 is for non-immigrant visas. Are you sure you have selected immigrant visa when you signed up?

Awesome thanks so much MrsBurgz :joy:

You should receive the email from DHL that the visa is ready for pickup/shipped (whatever option you choose) two business days after the visa is issued!

I'm currently in the process of doing the final preparations for my interview on Tuesday and I'd love to hear from those who have had their visa approved how much evidence of the relationship you provided? I have created a timeline using photo's and printed out some old emails. Any other ideas? I don't want to take any chances of not being approved. We have a beautiful little girl who misses her daddy!

Australia is similar to the UK in terms of interview style at the embassy. I was not asked to show anything at the embassy. I had a photo album with me, a bunch of cards and poems from my husband, my previous passports to show them all my entry stamps to visit him and none of it made it out of my bag. My husband has a criminal record so the interviewer asked about that and made sure I was fully aware of the nature of his crime. Other than that, it was just general questions. See my review in my timeline.

Some embassies are a lot tougher and people have to go with armfuls of evidence but not ours.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016
