Hey all,

Well after nearly 7mths I have my visa, at least I am 99.99% sure!!

The Consular Officer never said Congratulations, you have a visa or you are approved. She just said, everything looks good and you should receive your passport by Mon or Tues. There wasn't much of an interview either. I had my hubby and son with me and all she asked were simple formalities and how old our son was. She also aslo clarified with me how long I had been in Japan. I was there about 355 days in total and was told a few weeks ago I would need a police certificate for Japan. Thankfully, I didn't!!! That was it.

The interview took about 3mins. We were in the actual consulate, after security for about 30mins. Not bad at all.

Thankyou all who have helped me and best of luck for those you are still on your journey!!

:D

11-05-06 Sent I-130 to California

06-01-07 INTERVIEW

06-04-07 Received VISA in the mail. Silly Consulate issued me CR-1 instead of IR-1, no time to change it in Australia, will try to change it once in California.

06-10-07 POE SFO

06-21-07 Receive SSN#

07-12-07 Receive Green Card in the mail STILL HAD CR1 INSTEAD OF IR1

12-10-07 Finally sent I-90 asking for a new green card with correct info.

06-17-08 INFOPASS - Was told USCIS sent new green card to old address back in Jan. Will resend it but may not be able to correct error as it was made by Consulate not USCIS.

What to do now??
