US Immigration from Australia

Everything was perfect at our interview except they requested court docs on a thing from 11 years ago on my partners AFP cert. There was no conviction but they still wanted these. He has already submitted the docs to them, but my question is, does the Sydney consulate email you with their verdict or if they need even more information or are you just expected to constantly check some website to see what they decided?

thanks all

• Marriage certificate
• Receipt/invoice from wedding venue we are getting married at (just a small online company)
• I made a wedding announcement on Canva and brought x10 to send to family and friends with a picture of us saying i do - will be sending receipt from Canva and mailing receipts
• Receipt of wedding guest gifts x10 - we are sending little soaps that say R&M said... I do 01/02/2.
• Receipts from brunch/dinner for wedding & flowers (just for the two of us)
• Cards congratulating wedding from Family & Friends.
• 13 photos of our relationship timeline including pictures with family and friends. X1 video picture with petitioners family. X4 photos from the wedding day (it was just us two bcos of covid)
• Joint lease contract
• Utility bills: internet in beneficiary name and gas in petitioners with the same address
• Joint bank account statements x2.
• still awaiting approval for the petitioner to be added as an additional cardholder on my credit card
• Joint car insurance
• Listed driver on my car as it s under finance
• Petitioners name as the beneficiary of my death benefit nomination.
• Airbnb receipts from 2019-2021
• Passport stamps
• An affidavit from beneficiaries uncle & sister
• Handwritten Cards from my cousins including petitioners name in it.
• text messages from my family including my wife s name? Like my mum saying happy birthday to us, grandma asking what presents to buy us for Christmas etc (6 total)
• messages I ve sent to the petitioner's sister/friends? Vis versa ( 2-3 each)
• Messages the petitioners sent about beneficiary to friends/family (2-3 each)

We don t have any rings as of yet. We should have the petitioners by the time the interview comes around although I the beneficiary want my ring in the states, is this a bad look?

We technically haven t had a proper engagement because of COVID, so we d be doing something cute after our marriage with the ring and my partner will probably post about the ring engagement on social media (lol) will this be questionable posting about the engagement ring more than the wedding? We are planning on doing a proper/bigger wedding in the states once covid is over and both family and friends can be apart of it.

if I should include anything else let me know!

It appears there have been no NOA1 receipt notices received by I-129F applicants since mid-December. I am one of the people that haven't received my NOA1 (packet received by lockbox on 13th Nov). Does anyone know whether they are actually processing the K1s right now? I don't understand how it could possibly take SO long even if there is an influx of applications. It's getting really frustrating.

Hello. Although I am not yet at the K1 Visa interview stage, I am hoping to possibly have some insight in regards to questions that I have.

Back in 2011, I left my last place of employment, due to deteriorating working conditions, personal family issues and my own well-being. As it goes, I have not been employed since then. During that time I became an unofficial carer for my son, which continued over the next ten years (or more). It is possible that I will soon become a carer for one of my parents. This time hopefully receiving a payment for doing so. Since around 2012, I have been receiving a Government welfare payment, which is my sole form of income.

Which brings me to my questions.

1: Is it possible that due to my lack of employment for quite some time, that my visa application may be rejected at the interview? I do plan to be completely honest with any questions that I am asked regarding this, as to be otherwise is just simply futile.

2: Is volunteer work acceptable at all? As I will be taking up some volunteer work within the next week or two. Or is that regarded as non-relevant when it comes to the Consular Officer?

3: Finances: What is considered as an acceptable amount of money that I should have to take with me to the US, if I am asked during my interview? Could having less than $5000AU (as an example) be seen as not enough? My fiance will of course be sponsoring me.

I hope this all makes sense, as it's nearing 2am here.

Hi

Can anyone explain what the actual process is for getting a US drivers license in Utah?

I am Australian, with a full open drivers license for a car in Australia. I also have a International Drivers permit.
My understanding is once I land in Utah in a couple weeks, I am required to obtain a Utah License as a resident of that state.

Do I need to redo all the driving tests, road rules and log books?
Or am I just doing the road rules and paying a fee?
or do I need to do testing?

Basically, how much of a pain in the neck is it to get a Utah license as an Aussie with a normal Aussie car license.

Thank you for your help.

RM.
