Hello all, I'm here downunder. Our interview is tomarrow for the I-130. Wish us all the best. Will get back to you all on how it went. Thanks again for all your help. Mick and Trish

Good luck! By the way, since they're still allowing you to go on the old system, I believe they would have let you file the I-130 at the same time as your husband's interview. Under the new system, although you have to file the I-130 first, the old system allowed the Aussie to do everything, and if the I-130 wasn't lodged yet, they'd make you both turn up to the interview to do both.

Anyway, all done now, good luck again!

I'm going to contradict myself. I sent in my DS-230 recently, and I just received an email from the US consulate informing me that my spouse has to file the I-130 before my interview. I'm not going to complain as this process is still very much quicker than any other method.

That's excellent news, congratulations! I hope our interviews go just as painless. Any things to watch out for? What kind of evidence of relationship were they looking for?

Congratulations guys, that is awesome! I hope your passage through the Port Of Entry is painless as well. How was his interview by the way, the same type of questions as your petition day, any special kind of relationship evidence they requested?

Thankyou all for the congrats, Yes the questions were pretty much just a rerun of the I-130 interview

they just went over what we did the day before It took about 5 minutes for the interview. It seemed like as long as you can prove you can support your spouse and meet the income requirement's then your good to go.
