Hi everyone,

 

I am a UK citizen but I currently live in Australia (Perth) which I have done for the last 3 years. I’ve have been on a 2 year working holiday visa. I’m currently on a bridging visa A while I wait for a decision to be made on my ‘last remaining relative’ visa which will grant me PR (if I was to stay) my parents are both permanent residents. So I’m not a permanent resident but I am legally here long term. 

 

it didn’t even cross my mind until I seen other people in countries they aren’t citizens and now I’m worried I cannot do my interview in Sydney. I have emailed the embassy and they keep going on about the medical not the interview and I can’t seem to get a straight answer. 
 

does anyone know if I can do my interview in Sydney or will I have to fly back to London ? 
 

thank you in advance

Looks like you just sent the I-129F.  When you get to the NVC after approval you'll want to make sure your DOS number starts with the right embassy/consulate code.  Im personally not sure what it is but Im sure someone can pop in with it!

Yes I did just send it :) thanks I will check that when the time comes. 
I did put Perth on the application when it asks what embassy I will be using but I didn’t realise only Sydney does interviews. I’m sure they will know that though 😋
