Hey guys just a quick question. Have any of you found a good, cheap & reliable Shipping company that will ship to the US? I have around 4 large boxes.

Sorry probably should have linked it :)http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/293179-shipping-costs-aus-to-usa/

Guys,

How long did you guy find out it was best to arrive before your scheduled interview time ? do you think 30 min is enough to security and stuff ? i just don't want to come in early and keep waiting. i cant do that lol , will even make me more nervous.

i was there 30 mins before and that was plenty of time before hand...

Thanks guys for the wishes had the interview today and was APPROVED!!!!

great feeling, really easy interview.

P.S- what is dont understand is that the lady at the reception tells you already that your approved and has the letter typed up and then goes

"oh take seat and wait till get called for the interview" i thought what interview you just told me that i am approved lol

Maybe thats just me being logical . anyone else experienced this ?

haha, i never had the lady tell me that i was approved but when i went up for my actual interview the first thing i noticed was my approval letter inside of my passport right in front of my interviewer, i'm guessing this must happen a lot. From what i've heard they've already pretty well decided if youre approved or not :)

oh....CONGRATULATIONSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
