US Immigration from Australia

Hello folks,

Does anyone know how one gets in touch with an actual person at the US Sydney Consulate. I have found it impossible to find out approximately when my Employment Green Card Interview is. The Consulate puts out a word salad statement on their FB page once every few months saying the same thing for my category (currently interviewing DQ Feb. 2021 - this has been repeated for a year now) applications. The entire Green Card process has been miserable, would like to get over the interview process and put this behind me. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ali

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a particular order in which i should have my k1 interview documents in, ready to hand over when i get to Sydney consulate? If anyone has had a recent interview with the latest procedures or information that is helping would be appreciated.
Also does anyone know what the A number is to write on the back of the 2 passport photos? The ds160 confirmation number is AA, so not sure where to find the A number, its not on my NOA2 or k1-FTP

Thanks

Hi, this might sound silly but im trying to figure out how to pay the $37 for my passport/ visa to be sent back to me after my interview. When i originally chose this option on ustraveldocs profile i created a vfs global account but didn t pay the $37 fee and now i need to pay it and seems confusing as to how to now do that. If anyone can assist would be appreciated. I cannot choose the collect it for no extra cost option as i dont live in Sydney thanks

Apologies if this has already been covered. My search didn't bring up my particular situation so I started a new topic.

My situation is this:

I am an Australian citizen spouse of a US citizen. My application to have conditions removed my Green Card (I-751) was received by USCIS in Feb 2019. I still have not had my interview scheduled. After my GC expired, I received my I-797 notice of action letter. After that expired,I had an I-551 stamp in my passport done at the Minneapolis St Paul field office. I've had the stamp renewed each year.

The field officer told me that this stamp would allow me to return to the USA as proof of my LPR status while I wait for my interview.

I'm currently in New Zealand and planning to return home to the USA next week. I've been away from home for a total of just over 3 months. My passport stamp is current until 10/19/2023. I've just learned that this may not be sufficient to travel. The airline may deny boarding at the port of departure (New Zealand). I've contacted an immigration lawyer in MN, USA who told me to contact the Consulate in NZ, who told me to contact the airline to confirm whether or not I need further proof of my LPR status to allow me to board a flight to USA. The airline is not currently taking calls not related to a recent severe weather event.

So my question is - does anybody have any experience or knowledge of a situation like mine, whether or not I need further evidence to be able to travel to the USA, apart from what I already have (I-551 stamp in passport) and what that further evidence might be?

Please note that I'm not requesting info about the port of entry in USA, only the port of departure in NZ.

Thank you in advance for any help.
