My fiance, Cameron, had his interview yesterday in Sydney and we were APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will be here in LA on May 17 and we are getting married. Good luck to everyone and congrats to those that have been approved and are getting married. xoxoxoxo

So excited! We got our P4 last night. Our interview is in 2 weeks in Sydney.

A link is broken on the DS 160 web page where it lists the photo specs for your upload. Does anyone recall the photo specs by chance? We have reported the issue. Thanks so much!

Mark and Cameron you jus need the ds-160. Good luck

THANKS

Question, the Sydney Consulate is asking for DS-160 in our email. However on one of their links it says you need to submit (Forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230 (Parts I and II). But then online I have read that DS-156/k and DS-230 were consolidated into the online form DS-160 in 2013.

Can you someone confirm, please? I have asked the consulate just to be sure.

THANKS!!!!!!

Congrats to everyone who has gotten approved! 3 weeks from NOA2 approval we received our packet 3 email from Sydney. Hopefully it won't be long now for us to get the interview scheduled.

Thanks so much! I see it says: Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to obtain any U.S. police certificates. We are checking even further to confirm. From what I hear the US is able to electronically check these days. I was worried I would have to go through the FBI which could take months.

not sure about your embassy/consulate but here is a cut and paste from our p4 letter. Hope it helps.

OBTAIN THE ORIGINAL POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

Each visa applicant aged 16 years or older must submit a police certificate from every

country where he/she resided for at least 6 months after the age of 16.

Some countries require a specific Police Certificate Request form to properly request and

obtain Police Certificate(s). The Reciprocity by Country page indicates those countries.

Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable.

Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to obtain any U.S. police

certificates.

For more specific information please visit HTTP://TRAVEL.STATE.GOV/VISA/FEES/FEES_3272.HTML

So probably your best bet is to get a hold of you embassy/consulate and ask them what you need in case they a particular for what they are looking for.

Hi.

Question: Have any of your significant others lived in the US previously under a work visa etc for at least 12 months? Mine did many years ago. I am curious if anyone had to also get a US Police Clearance?

After 2 RFE's we finally received our NOA2 APPROVAL last night! Just fortunate and so happy this first hurdle is complete. On to the next one...

Do each of us need to write a letter of intent or can we simply sign the same letter written? Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear that it was nothing major!

thanks

We just got our RFE in the mail and it's a simple request for INTENT TO MARRY. Sigh of relief and excitement that's it!!

They can be for darn near everything! We didn't get a RFE. Can you tell us what you included in your petition?

Hi! That's what I am reading. It could even be a box that was not checked correctly.

We included a full scan of passport of every single page; travel visa's i purchased to visit him; flight records for my 3 flights there; flight records for several flights inside the US together; photos from past 2 years including marathons and triathlons we completed together; engagement cards from family/friends; emails including our first correspondence when we met; whatapp messages and so on... the only thing i didn't include are electrical/cable bills with his name on them.

HI! So we received an RFE notification this morning at 8:30am PST. Has anyone here received an RFE and what are they usually for? From what I hear they act pretty quickly once they receive the evidence.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, my name is Mark!This is my first post. My fiance, Cameron, and I got our NOA1 on Sept 11 so we are still waiting patiently...........

CONGRATS to all those that have gotten their NOA2.
