LAND DOWNUNDER

[Niphredil 0]

Hi evryone

I'm still reading the site. I'm just amazed at all of the information here, right down to the people at the Embassy in Sydney.

Been reading through here, bookmarking cheap flight websites and travel movers etc. I'm just trying to keep sane for another day till Husband gets back so I can bug him for that dang USCIS number

Not looking forward to all of the costs though. Didn't think it'd be cheap, but wasn't really expecting a 'holiday' in Bisbane and Sydney...

I'm up in Central/Coastal Queensland *Go the Cwboys!* and I would do my timeline if I had dates!

Oh there is life here again. Just love that little mouse. Was tempted to post it again on this page just so we could keep seeing it.

Thanks Lorelle for that link of the service centres info. Feel so much better now really, understanding it a bit. I was starting to imagine all sorts of things. My Andrew has just said "oh he has no doubts we will be together again, just got to be patient". He would have to be one of the most not patient people I know so for him to say these things is such a rock of strength to me too.

Seems he has been approved finally for the loan on the house, the sale has not gone thru totally but he has packed and cleaned up most of the house he is renting now. Can't wait to see it and him and his son in it. Wish I had been there as planned but kinda glad I'm missing the packing up bit. Hee Hee. I love that boy almost as much as his Dad. I am so lucky to have found two such prescious boys (but cheeky terrors really)who had this empty place in there lives just waiting for me to fill up.

I do like mushrooms Niphredil but I think that man of yours is in for a good talking to if he wants his wife to still have hair when he gets you back.

Take Care all,

Stella.

Hi *waves* Still trying to wade through the sea of information here and trying to not drown in it. I think I have things worked out... just a matter of trying to tell Dave to not bother with K-3 anymore.

I've been reading about people calling up the NVC about times and if things have been processed etc.

Does anyone from Australia actually call, or are you referring to your spouse in America calling it?

I call all the time

NVC Timesavers, Knowing your case number, James Shortcuts. You will find the number for NVC in the thread as well. Well worth your time for you and Dave to read.

Ive been reading them, and seeing what I could do besides the barcode thing. I'm a jittery nervous bug when it comes to these things *and I'd rather do it right first time with the right equipment, then have to redo it again*, so, going to get Dave to do a mockup Affidavit of support *since he'll probably have 3 months to do it, surely thats enough time ><*, so when he does get it, he just has to fill it in with what he's already worked out and send it in, get blood tests done and any vaccinations done before the medical, police reports as soon as NVC gets the case etc.

I was just a little unsure of how to call them. I'm used to 0011-1-(area code)-(phone number) that I use to call him, but do you use something else? or just the same? 0011-1-603-334-0700?

Yep just put the 0011-1 in front.

We didnt use James Shortcuts.....hubby is a stickler for correct procedures lol I wont fault him on it...we have had an easy run through with no RFE's. The Time Savers do cut the time down, just not as much as Jame's Shortcuts can.

I just had another look at the shortcuts, and actually generated one. For some odd reason, I thought you had to print it, cut it out, then paste it onto the form I'm getting senile in my not-quite-so-old-but-should-know-better-age (of a whopping 26, aiyee)

I might try one of them, and see how it goes, when the time comes that is. If it gets knocked back, then eh, the original is still on it's way.

Thanks again

I cant recall any posts of self generated forms getting knocked back. We can't have an aussie being the first hahahaha that just wouldnt do. It really is suppose to be easy and saves an enormous amount of time. One of the quickest I have seen is YamSam....they had case complete at NVC in 50 days. Without the shortcuts or timesavers it can takes 4-5 months at NVC
