im not sure if he can be under the catagry of the following to join catagory he will be only 18 if he can come join me,he will be unmarried but he was a child of mine from a previous relationship where we was never married even though was to together for 10+ years

Hi I am just in need of information how my son can follow me to live with me in usa . I came to usa on a K1 visa in 2010 and was married within the 3 months allowed and have been living I the usa married since then and have my green card, I had to leave my 2 children in Australia when I left in 2010 with their mother 1 of which now is 21 and lives in her own home and the other is nearly 18 and still lives with his mother and his mother is increasing making it difficuilt to live there and want to come to live here with me after he finishes school in a few months. What steps do I need to take to bring him here to live with me? My wife is an American citizen and I plan on starting to become one in the next year cause ive heard to wait 5 years since getting the green card to become a citizen but I need to find a quick way to bring my son here with me cause he has nowhere to go and live in Australia if he gets kicked out of his home

update for me too, i got my passport on the monday i was so happy to get it and i flew out to LAX on the tuesday i was told to give 5-6 hours to get threw POE so booked the next flight over to washington 6 hours later and of course it took about 5 minutes to get threw the POE so had a bit of time to kill at LAX i was eager to get back to my baby in the US i so was a quick pack up and leave i spent most time just wandering around the LAX airport.So i have been here in the US for about 10 days now i tryed to go get a SSN but they said it was best i wait for 10 working days for everything to clear with paperwork and such so i guess ill have to sit around and wait for the 10 working days to be up its so boring not being able to do what want and to work cause i have worked all my life guess this is like a little vacation till i can work again.We busy planning wheat we doing for the wedding and honeymoon so guess that keep me busy till all the other paperwork is done.The people at the POE was very nice and all welcomed me to the US and asked a few questions how we met and how long been seeing each other for but was all pretty basic stuff so was nothing to worry about at the POE im just so happy to be here in the US now and we have started our life together.Congrats to all those with interviews and have made it over here to the US now and thanks to visajourney without all the info here on what needed and what needed to do it has all been a great help

Paid off the $157.20 visa fee and picked up the 3kg express postage envelope. So now i'm all set for the interview on Tuesday! Booked flight and hotel, printed the consulate email and gathered my evidence of the ongoing relationship.

Nerves are starting to increase day by day now.

Flying up to Sydney in the 40 degree heat will suck though!

Hi all our situation is that my petitioner lost her job "due to economic cercumstances" about 2 weeks before we got our NOA2 and i have recieved my packets 3 and have been holding off putting it in until she has got a new job and she just started a new job this week, the job is well over the 125% needed for the petition.My question is do we get her to do another advicate of support form for me and i know there is another form her employer has to fill in and does she send these forms to me and i put it in with my packet 3 cause the employer will be different from employer in the original petition or is there some other way about doing this? any help is appreciated thanks all

hi all just a quick question about getting the fingerprinted police certificate in australia my question is:

when i went to get my fingerprints done at the local police station i was asked by the officer where is the certificate is to be sent cause for visa some certificates have to be sent directly to the sydney consulate not to me so do i get the certificate sent to me or to the consulate in sydney?

Hi all i just recieved packet 3 and got the quote:

The visa applicant should complete and return form DS-230 (Part I only) as soon as possible to the U.S. Consulate General, Sydney. We only accept original forms, not faxed or scanned copies

my question is do i just send this form into my consulate alone or do i send original birth certificate and any other original paperwork with the form? and not sure what other paperwork i need to send

Hi everyone,

this a quick run down of my relationship with my fiancee Heather who lives over in Maryland, USA and me who Colin who lives in New South Wales, Australia.We met online about 8 years ago, i was chatting with people in a msn chat room and i noticed her sitting in the room all quiet not saying anything so i decided to say Hi and she was abit stand offish at first as people are but after this we became good friends and talked every night which we still do to this very day.In this time we both had been in and out of a couple of relationships where we both stayed good friends.And about 18 months ago we started ringing each other on the telephone and talking more and more and we started having feeling towards each other and we fell in love with each other in this time and a couple of months ago i went over to america and spent some time with her and we just felt like we belonged together it was just that good spending time with her i didnt want to leave and a few days before i had to leave i asked her to marry me and she said yes it was one of the best moments in my life.But it had to come to end couple days later she drove me to the airport as i had to fly back home to australia, it was so hard leaving her i had her crying on my shoulder cause she didnt want me to leave and i was abit emotional cause i didnt want to leave either but i had too.Now we have filed for the K1 visa and in the process of getting me back over to marry her and live our lives happily together forever.I have been back in australia now for 6 weeks and it has been the longest 6 weeks i just wanna be back with Heather i miss her.
