I am planning to file a K1 for my fiance but have a few questions. This seemed like the best place to ask it. The K1 will be sent to the Sydney embassy.

 

1. My fiance had her named changed, does she need the fingerprint check or just the name check?

 

2. She has had a past conviction for shoplifting when she was 17. Conviction was for youth/child and not on her adult record. This was well over 10 years ago, she is 32 years old now. Will this give us many issues in getting the K1?

 

3. She obtained a visa by the visa waiver program.. however she did not mention she had this past conviction on the VWP. Mistakes where made and she totally forgot she was convicted all those years ago. Will this give us some serious issues for the K1?

Others answered in relation to the conviction, but regarding #1, an AFP name check without fingerprints will be fine, but must list all names by which she has ever been known, and select the option for full disclosure (code 33 -- immigration/citizenship).

Does anyone know if children have to attend interview if they're a beneficiary. I have got a two year old. Can't imagine having to take him with me lol

Yes, all applicants have to attend, no matter their age.

Hi,

I'm also waiting for an IL for Sydney Australia. I got CC on the 25th of July. Just wondering if you applied for expedite. Amazed at how quickly you received your IL. All the best at your interview.

That is without an expedite..  I figure it must have just been the right moment in the "cycle".  Good luck!

Hi All,

I hadn't seen any posts with recent information, but after calling both Dr Celina Rappaport and Dr Rosemary Aldous, they both charge exactly the same fees.

Adults are $520 including the x-ray and pathology, and children who are young enough to not need x-ray/pathology are $379.50 each.

For Dr Aldus, you should email usvisas@ocnlst.com.au to request an appointment with the following information:

• Name of all applicants needing medicals.
• Type of visa.
• NVC case number.
• Mobile phone number.
• Date of interview.

Hope that helps!

Oh same!! I got CC on 26 June and just got the IL overnight, interview is 16 August! Happy days!! They must be taking a lot longer to schedule them now. My FIL and SIL both had their interview dates within two weeks of their CC, back in May.

Congratulations!!!

still waiting, re-submitted 6/24 and have asked for supervisor escalation 2 days ago. I guess some are lucky and have received their DQ, it's just very random when NVC reviews the cases on the queue.

Resubmitted on June 25, requested supervisor review right at 3 week mark, and just received DQ 24 hours later.

Wet signatures are no longer required.  See here:

Hope you get a response very soon!

 

Did you simply log in to ceac a few hours later to find the message or did you get a second email? Thanks again. 

Thanks! I logged in a couple of hours later and it was there.

Superb. Thank you very much. How long did you have to wait till the interview date, that is you've received one in the first place?!

It was for only one of three cases, so no interview date yet.

Right folks. Just received an email from NVC stating I have a message in my inbox but there's nothing there. Has this happened to anyone before?

Yep, happened to me last week.  A couple of hours later, the message was there, and it was that the case was now documentarily qualified.

Initial document upload on 5/31, submitted additional requested document on 6/4, and received DQ just now (6/5) for one of our cases.  The other two have no action yet.

NSC

PD: 18 May 2018

Status Online: Request for Additional Evidence was Mailed

Have any of you encountered this? We haven't received the mail yet so I'm curious what are the additional documents that we need. I'm worried!😥 Can anyone who also got an RFE share their experience? 

I got the same thing, with a PD of 14 May... still waiting for the letter to arrive.  I can't imagine what it is for, and why they couldn't have discovered whatever was missing in the last 300+ days.

Our PD is 05/14/2018, and we got an RFE on 03/22/2019 -- the first action on our case.  So frustrating waiting now to find out what on earth it is for.

Ours was received at the Chicago lockbox 05/15 and still no text or email, and no credit card charge.
