LAND DOWNUNDER

[serendipitous 0]

Ahh, my case was received at the Sydney Consulate!! Woot! One more step closer to being complete!!

I'm so excited, I get excited everytime something moves along

I'm such a dork.

My fiance is going to schedule his fingerprint/police check appointment tomorrow.

We've been looking through this site:

http://www.simplyoz.com/

For things that he could get over here. I've ordered from them before they're absolutely fantastic! I ordered like 3 boxes of shapes, some chicken salt, Natural Confectionary's Gummies and some other things that I loved when I visited!

My fiance is especially excited that they have meat pies!! haha.

I hope you guys look through that site and find things that will make you smile and make the life here a little easier and even more like home.

Well everyone... we are APPROVED!!! My fiance had his interview this morning and all went well! He is on his way to NY on Wednesday... only 3 more days to be with my love again!!

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and help answering the questions I had. I feel so amazingly happy right now, and will be even happier in a few days!

And Ausqueen, thanks for keeping him company today. I hope he helped you stay as calm as you helped him! It was good for him to have a fellow K1 interviewee with him today And congratulations to you as well!

Best of luck to everyone still waiting on approvals/notices, etc. May you all be as lucky as us with our timeline!

Well everyone... I think I will just sign here or write "as above" :)

My face is hurting - I've been grinning from ear to ear all day long. Talked to hundred people, made as many phone calls, booked my ticket, resigned from work... what else? Just been really, really happy!!!

Nycangel... it was GREAT not to be alone there this morning. I'm sure those 2 hours we spent at the consulate would feel much longer and tougher were we each by ourselves. With D. there I felt somehow "safer" that it would be ok. It was "eazy peazy" I can't believe I was stressing over it so much.

But.. thanks to the best bunch of people on vj for advice, encouragement, and support! And thanks for sharing in our happiness today! You guys rock!

Congratulations on the latest steps David, Paul, Moonie, Lynn... who else had things happen these days?

Sending happy thoughts to all,

vik

First of all, Congrats to Vik & NYCangel for getting your visas..!!! How exciting..so happy for you both....! Oh and thanks for the enlightenment on the page numbers Vik..was beginning to think Kath was a little cuckoo.....

Good one Lyndel; I will have to remember that website too orbitz.com when it comes time for me to fly.

Congrats Paul on your upcoming interview date, you will do great...!!!

Rings: soz to hear you're having tough times, hope things have picked up or will pick up soon.

Great website Serendip, will definitely keep that handy for when I finally get over.

A trip here in a month Vy, that's exciting for you....for how long?

Meanwhile, we wait patiently for our NOA1...

Cheers,

Pris.

Woohoo. Lots of Congrats are in order! There are too many to list so I'll send a general one...

CONGRATS!!!

Hampster, I'm happy you're counting down. 31 days?? Wow! That's quick. I didn't realize it's coming so quickly. Exactly one week after your interview, I fly back to Oz to see the wifey for a few weeks. That's why I will gladly count down with you.

'Poi_n_J'

That would be great if you can let me know who he rang/info he got.

Thanks

Hey Em,

Soz it's taken me so long to get back to you.

Here I'll just cut and paste what he told me as I'm not sure about it myself:

I called my district representative back in the States.

For instance, the person should call the district office that is covered by whatever Senator presides over that district.

They could just go online and google there zip code and type in District Senator to get contact info.

Like

85210 + District Senator

Get the contact info. and ask them whatever questions they have. In the end though they just need to mail it to the office that did their last tax return.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Pris.

Question:

My dear SO is moving out of his place with his roommate in about 3 weeks will his packet be transferred to his new mail address? I read somewhere that on here that they don't forward that type of mail. Not sure if that is true.

I really don't trust his roommate to forward his mail.

I called the NVC and dialed the automated line and it says they show no record of our petition, I also sent an email. Perhaps I will check again Friday.

Kath,

Thanks so much for your reply and your PM- it's really great to have support in here...I will definitely look into that option...it's frustrating that W.A is the only state that doesn't let you go into your local police station for this!!

Thanks again all!

That's such exciting news! Reading your good news made me smile, especially since you've helped us (Cory&I)so much with our visa application (Thanks for that too!)

Hahahah!!! 4 bars a week, seriously?! I admit, Cadbury chocolate is really good. I love the triple decker ones with the different chocolates in the bar.

I love hazelnut chocolate too.. when you come over, you should try Lindt Hazelnut chocolates!! They're soooooooooooo good. I think Lindt is sold in Australia too, but like Cadbury is your big chocolate producer.

Simplyoz.com restocks pretty quickly, so you could just check back at that site once in a while The popular things get sold REALLY fast so you have to be quick hehe. You can get them to email you when new shipments of Aussie food arrives in the States so you can be on the ball.

What I miss the most from my visits to Australia are the fish and chips. No one in the states does em like an authentic Australian fish and chip shop. I really like Charcoal Chicken too.. haha. Man I'm getting hungry thinking about Aussie food.

Hey, you should bring me some gummies while you're stashing up chocolates for yourself
