OK, read the 2 pages I suggested up aboe, and hopefully you do know that you will have to go to Australia if you want to do Direct Consular Filing.

If this is not practical for you, please review the Guides for married couples from the blue tabs at the top of the page (K-3 and CR-1 are the two spouse visa choices).

Hi again, And thankyou for your reply's and help. We have read the Pinned and DCF guide. I will be going to Australia to attend an interview. I would like to know what is my first step, do I email the U.S. Consulate in Sydney asking to lodge an I-130 form or how do I start the ball rolling.

Hi,

From looking at the contact info on the Sydney Embassy website for IV enquiries, looks like you need to either email them, snailmail them or fax your request for the initial packet as they don't give a telephone number for Immigrant Visa info. A couple of members who have recently done DCF in Australia are Karo112 & Wolvendove, you might track down their timelines and read some of their posts for information. :).

8-12-2004 I moved to New Zealand(married my Kiwi in US 5/04)

1-12-2006 Received initial packet - It has I-130, I-864 & DS-230 Part 1, DS-2001 & tons of instructions.

Gathering paperwork that we don't have:

5-30-2006 - I-130 FILED AND ACCEPTED BY AUCKLAND CONSULATE!- INTERVIEW: 6/13/2006

6-13-2006 - APPROVED!usaCa.gifnew_zeaC3.gif

6-14-2006 - VISA IN HAND D_SMIL112.gif

08-05-2006 -WE ARE HOME IN THE USA!!! flag12.gif

THREE HAPPY YEARS LATER:

5-10-09 - N-400 filed

8-24-09 - Interview

9-14-09 - Naturalization Oath Ceremony

And here I am in the flesh :)

1. yes email the consulate, if you want, to make sure they still do DCF but so far as I know they do (since we JUST did it)

2. Request by email OR phone Packet 3...this includes the forms you need to send in to start your processing. Read the instruction on this site to tell you what to send in...

3. Send in the forms mentioned above...I included a cover letter that requested a specific interview date (give a few...we got our #2 choice)...

Then have your hubby start the police and medical stuff...and you get to work on the 864 (financial) stuff and evidenciary support stuff.

it's a fairly easy process but you HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND READ THE PINNED THREADS HERE. The only thing that would get in your way is NOT BEING PREPARED or understanding the process.

Read the "Australia DCF" thread...It should be pinned. if you read it and still have questions like the ones you have asked...read it again.

good luck

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

Hi all, just want to update ya's on where we are. We sent our email off to the U.S Consulate in Sydney. 4/24/06 Asking for the I-130 and packet three's to be sent out. Hopefully the wait wont be long.

You can also download the forms from uscis.gov (make sure to read there for most current instructions and fees!) and get started on them. It will help you see what documents you'll need to take to Australia with you.

Shopping for airfare yet? :)
