Hiya's..

Well found out the Lamb Spit went BANKRUPT about 7 months ago :ranting: ,

then a chinese couple took it over and tried to do the yiros's..

what i hear they lasted 10 days.. then they pulled the plug as well..

so the actual shop is now vacant :cry:

And that was the first place I took my wifee (NorthernGirl) for a chicken yiros,

as we got married next to the big anchor in front of the Shark place.

Hi everyone!

I've just finished putting together all my paperwork in the correct order - I have my interview on Monday YAYYY!!

I've read the embassy reviews and people state paying the fee. Does anyone know what the fee is?

I'm fed up with fees! I have to fly my daughter and I from Perth to Sydney for this interview (school holidays aren't cheap)! Our medicals cost $600 (seems a bit on the high side to me!). Just paid our 2x $130 at the post office. What's next??!! I sound like the Mastercard ad!

Hi Michelle,

Good luck for your interview. The medical cost about the same for me here in Canberra and as I hope to have an interview soon I was reading up on the US Consulate Sydney site that the fee for immigration visas is around $480 AUD but I am not sure that applies to K1 or 3s. It wasn't clear.

Sorry I can't help any further, wish you all the best for Monday.

Hi All!

Hope everyone had a great Chrissy & New Year!!!

Eric is flying out very soon...and we will be doing the walk-in DCF @ Sydney -- does anybody have any last minute tricks and tips?

Yes, I paid with credit card. Looks like you got the idea already. You can submit the affidavit of support the same day. I couldn't because apparently I printed out the wrong one online. So they gave me a new one and said that I can hand write it in. One more thing... once you get packet 3 in hand. Fill it out and send it off by post right away. I made the mistake of waiting a few days which sort of set us back some, because they ended up sending us an RFE that was easily resolved. But if I only had sent the forms out straight away, then we would have recieve the RFE much sooner, therefore taken care of much sooner too. Be very thorough when filling out those forms because we missed one small question and that was our RFE, if we read it a bit closer there would have been no problem. So just be sure you take extra care when filling out the forms. You should have no problem.
