hahaha, yeah, i printed off all the example forms ages ago and put them in a folder to look at but i really don't want to now, so over immigration at the mo :/ but i guess i'll be needing something to do while my Travis is at work everyday..

Nah, you can book just one way, i did. i think sometimes though return is cheaper and that's why people get reutrn a lot. my travel agent said that one way tickets to the US are often 75% of a return fare. But you have a visa so no need for return :)

There's an AOS thread in my list. Have a quick squiz at it before you leave to make sure you have everything in the list before you leave. For instance, some people didn't know they should get a copy of the DS-3025 from the panel physician. I would also try and get a copy of the medical if you can. I was able to get one from the Melb doc because are the time I filed AOS USCIS were losing peoples medicals and I was NOT paying a couple of hundred for a new one!

Yeah I would say so (don't even wanna look at it now, will when I'm in the US lol)

See post above. I would at least the guide so you know what to expect. Some people freak out when they realise it'll cost $1070 (at the moment, might go up between now and when you file).

~~~~~ V I S A A P P R O V E D~~~~~~!!!!!!

Wow im so relived now. It went so well. I will add my review when I get home.

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. =D

Congrats!! I read your review. Made me so happy to read another positive review.

Enjoy your last few days of work and fly safe!
