This is a question for those who went through the Embassy in Sydney (or Melbourne!)...

Could someone explain the process of filing the I-130 and the times involved when you went through it? I understand I have to file an I-130 but was wondering if I call them to schedule an interview or I have to send in the I-130 in order to get an interview?

My hubby who is the US Citizen is a permanent resident of Australia and has been for 3 years, hence why we are filing in Sydney.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide me.

US citizen files I-130 at Consulate

Consulate conducts Adam Walsh background check on the US citizen

Background check results come back and Consulate sends an approval via email (Packet 3)

Packet 3 instructions are on their website http://canberra.usembassy.gov/consular/visas/iv/family.html

Visa applicant completes DS-230 form immediately and sends to consulate

Visa applicant furnishes police certificate/s, medical records, affidavit of support forms and other required documentation and sends to Consulate along with DS-2001

Consulate reviews documentation and will schedule the visa interview via email (Packet 4)

Visa interview occurs, visa is approved and is typically issued within 2 days of the interview
