  1. I bought the EasyTrak prepaid bag from The Warehouse Stationery! https://www.warehousestationery.co.nz/product/W2216265.html So Courier Post which I think is under NZ Post?! 🧐
  2. Ahhhh fingers crossed it comes ASAP! I did notice your husband's courier envelope was different to mine so might have been a different postal service. Hope the tracking is accurate too >< AMAZING!! Congrats!!!
  3. I brought a folder with EVERYTHING lolol! Even had a table of contents in case they needed to see something I could find it easily, but they didn't ask to see anything. But I would rather go in over prepared, because you never know!
  4. I sent mine in with my documents! But yes I saw other people bring in courier bags during their interviews as well. One person left the consulate and came back like five minutes later with a bag. I’m assuming they had forgotten and were told to come back and bring one.
  5. Thank you! We ended up calling them and all is good. Our flight is booked for Dec 28 so we booked a standard one on the 27th! Side note - I JUST received my passport with visa! So interview was Dec 8. Visa arrived Dec 13. I will update the google spreadsheet you created!
  6. Amazing thank you @kg_nz and @Vamp.nz that's super helpful!! Just the standard test right? We don't need to the urgent one?
  7. @EKT I know right! I was like ... uh this morning? he dropped me off hahhaha AND LOL at checking that your husband knows your wedding date. @kg_nz do you know which facility your husband is using for pre-departure test? I'm worried at how difficult it's going to be now that the US changed their testing time frame to 24 hours instead of 72!
  8. @kg_nzOmg lol yes that was definitely him!!! I did give him a nod on his way out because I was stoked for him getting approved, but still nervous for mine HAHA @EKT He's is actually in New Zealand at the moment so I got really lucky T_T it's definitely being handled by what was received first in the consulate. Hoping for some good news for you soon @Vamp.nz can only imagine what youre going through 🥺 totally understand why you feel that way.
  9. Congrats @kg_nz!!!!! I am 99% sure I was in line behind your husband and had a feeling it was him but didn’t say anything because I was nervous. I found out last Thursday, I didn’t tell a soul that I got an interview and it was purely because I was afraid of jinxing it, everything I have said it the past has gone wrong so kept quiet. Didn’t tell any friends or family 🥺 B was actually so lovely 😂😳 They asked me: - when was the last time you saw your partner - what does he do for work - what do you do for work - what was the date of your wedding - did I have any other visa besides the J1 hoping the visa comes quickly!
  10. Gah yikes!! Glad it finally got there in the end. Haha I'm low-key paranoid that they are going to come back to me asking for more documents, even though they confirmed they received documents over a week ago. I just wanna know, the why haha. Like why does it keep getting pushed back. And why do they keep giving us false expectations, first we had hope with Level 3 Step 2, then the traffic light system, but now it's the Orange light. WHY. I feel like it's very hard to get any answers from them 😅 Glad to hear your interview is still going through @JoshandSarah!!
  11. So stoked that things are moving again for you @JoshandSarah!!!!! Hoping everything goes smoothly 🤞🏼 @EKT yeah when I first got an interview date I scheduled my medical exam, and luckily they were still able to go through with it even though my interview got cancelled. Weird though -- I was able to go for that full medical exam during level 3.. and yet.. they couldn't interview us during level 3. It blows my mind 😅 Yeah I was wondering if it might have to do with needing to wait for the backlog Oh darn!!! That sucks about having to wait till he's up here to do it, hopefully not too long of a wait between the interview and the issuance!
  12. We received the same email as @MelanieR18 last week and sent our documents in for IR1/CR1. Which were delivered on Friday. I asked if they had received them and they said: I'm in Auckland, so thought that upon retrieval we would be able to schedule one.. but still waiting. Anyone else had better luck, and if yes, how long did you have to wait? Thank you!!
  13. I also sent an email, and even quoted how they said they would begin at level 3 step 2. But it was completely brushed off and I received nearly the exact reply this morning sans the “as soon as the dept…” section.
  14. @Stevi_09 Yeah, we got DQ around the expected time NVC timeframes! We submitted our docs between 23-28 July and got DQ 13 October. Yeah the waiting takes its toll huh , hang in there! @EKT I just saw your question about my location! I'm in Auckland! Yeah that sucks that you can't even do medical in South Island. Also I would have thought that people out of Auckland would have been able to go to the Wellington Embassy? But I guess not?
  15. Yeah I’m so confused 🥺 I had so much hope after the announcement and that email, but now definitely preparing for the worst again 🥲🥲🥲
