Great news Nick well done Not long for you now

Damn straight... this time next week I'll probably be snoozing due to wake up in a couple of hours to go and pick up my stuff from the freight company.

:D

How you holding up? I'm guessing there's no way for you to check the status of the police check?

Has anyone had issues with the police certificate? My wife lives in Queensland and got her police certificate through Queensland police which said that it should be sent directly to the consulate. I called nvc and asked a lot of people on here and was told to get it sent to us and send it in with the ds-230 and all required documents as listed. Now nvc is saying that I should have had it sent to the consulate and now they are sending out yet another checklist. I am just so confused on whats going on and it seems I can't get a straight answer from anyone. Please help...thank you!

I got mine sent to me (in QLD), and I forwarded it with my DS230 to NVC.

They did give me an RFE - but they actually gave it to me AFTER the Case Complete (if you see my timeline/signature)...

It wasn't any problem, apart from scaring the ####### out of me when they false RFE'd me for it... haha!

I really hope the same happens for us. But they haven't gave us the case complete yet. I called...thats the only way I found out and she said she is giving the case to her supervisor and expect a call in 10 to 15 business days. This whole thing is just frustrating

Pffft and I'll still be at work dealing with dumb people lol

Yeah I'm okay - I was really hoping to bring my flights forward to end of month and be home for Ted and Montana's birthdays on the 4th but until I get the passport and visa back nothing to be done but mutter a lot lol. And no there's no way of checking - I emailed them last week to see if they had a rough idea of how long I could be waiting but as normal no reply. Tommorow will be 4 weeks since they received the privacy form to send to NZ Police so surely it cant be much longer......

oh sweet... I thought it was 6-8wks from interview date... but if its already been 4wks... then you should be going sooner than later right?

i'm just doing dinners with mates and cleaning up the apartment now... there's really nothing else to do... hahah

also going to buy a new camera online tonight and have it shipped to mum's as an arrival present to myself

I really wish I had the money to fly First or Business... that would be so awesome on a one way flight... haha

Awesome re camera.

I would hope so re sooner rather than later. My current ticket is booked for 29 October and the wedding 13 November and I'm terrified that I'm not going to make those dates considering their slowness - I hate being left hanging!!

Dang I wish I had your life right now - I had to move again in the weekend (my lease ran out in May so have been staying with friends) - the dog is going nuts as we're currently on a farm surrounded by ducks, chickens, rabbits etc - keep losing him in the bush

I flew business class Auckland to LAX in 2001 - was utter bliss. However in saying that it was Qantas and no way in hell I'd get on one of their planes now LMAO.

I didn't mind travelling economy with them. But I lost respect when they wanted to charge me $2k for a one way flight.

In other news, KLM are doing free luggage tags...

There you go Get that flight organised

[CareBear 18]

So non-complaint for once.

Who else is all excited about seeing Going the Distance that's coming out soon? I can't wait, though, we're not going to be able to see it until it comes out on video since I doubt we can bring our 7 year old there

I saw this last night at the movies with my sister. Has some great giggle moments in it - will confess there was one part that hit a little too close to home having done the long distance thing and I teared up - my sister was horrified, kept patting my knee in sympathy

[bextavaz 4]

Oh - and here is the link for all you kids that want the free KLM luggage tags...

Mine took 3wks to arrive
