A p p r o v e d ... kinda like the Lady Gaga song Applause, but "approved".

YAY!

The first thing I did was call Andrew and no word of a lie shouted in the street "I AM MOVING TO CALIFORNIA TO BE WITH YOU"

I went to Darling Harbour afterwards and had many, many wines.

We have even pinned an approx time period for me to leave of early Feb. On the one hand seems far away but on the other not so far away. We are just SO happy to have been approved. I need a "So you're leaving Australia" checklist of things to do / organise.

The lady at the interview told me we are the first same sex couple to be approved from Sydney. I asked her twice and she said yes. Is this actually true? I mean, why would they lie to me?

Good luck with yours!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Welcome to the US!

Thank you and thank you for answering my millions of annoying questions!

Awesomeness!! Really happy for you both. February will be here in no time....it is already December next week!

I know, it seems far but it's not really. So much to organise now too.

I sent back all the forms they requested, police report and I sent back a copy of my medical appointment confirmation and deposit payment receipt - I sent back packet 3 the day prior to my medical and to secure the medical booking I needed to pay a deposit. So I had that information to send back. I took my sealed medical results with me to the interview, as requested in packet 4. I am pretty sure that's the way most people do it.

Congrats! I think you must have been the interview before my fiancé! I'm sure you are still all cloud 9!

Oh really? Were you there too??

Thank you to all other comments :) So happy now. So much more relaxed too, both of us.
