Hey guys update! :)

Yesterday Corey got Packet 4 and we got our interview date!!! Woot.

His interview is in a....week. It's scheduled for the 4th of May!

I thought they give you like a month's notice?!

But anyways, he won't be able to make that one so he's rescheduled to the 30th of May.

I don't know why we only got barely a week's notice of the interview date. We only sent out our checklist like a week before lol. I saw other people post their interview dates before we received packet 4 and theirs were for around the end of May as well. I think the consulate wants to get rid of our case, I email them too much ;) haha!

But yay! We have an interview date!

He's going to the doctor's on Tuesday for his medical as well. Things are about to get rollinggggggg!

:dance::dance: Congratulations On your Interview Date :dance::dance::dance: Lynn + Corey

Good luck with the Interview on Wednesday 30th May :thumbs:

Cheers

Paul

11-05-06 Sent I-130 to California

06-01-07 INTERVIEW

06-04-07 Received VISA in the mail. Silly Consulate issued me CR-1 instead of IR-1, no time to change it in Australia, will try to change it once in California.

06-10-07 POE SFO

06-21-07 Receive SSN#

07-12-07 Receive Green Card in the mail STILL HAD CR1 INSTEAD OF IR1

12-10-07 Finally sent I-90 asking for a new green card with correct info.

06-17-08 INFOPASS - Was told USCIS sent new green card to old address back in Jan. Will resend it but may not be able to correct error as it was made by Consulate not USCIS.

What to do now??

We got married this afternoon :luv: ...I know, I know...what am I doing on here...we are just relaxing at home..cause we also got a recycled kitty as a wedding present for us both.

We decided not to get dressed up in our wedding gear because we solemnized our own marriage so there was no ceremony and it would have looked a bit strange. Instead we are going to get some professional shots done in our gear in a few weeks when I am working. We also had to buy Jake a $10 wedding ring from walmart because we are still waiting for his ring to be returned, it was stolen from his room and is still being used as evidence for the court case. Dinner was pizza, and today was fun, casual and quirky. Tomorrow Jake's unit is havign a BBQ for us....hope they can handle Aussies!! lol

Hey Kath, i get up when Jake goes to work cause my body clock is still on aussie time. Was great to talk on the phone with you...jeeze did I get a shock when you called lol!

Hugs to you all. Anyone heard from Vik??

Hi Lyndel,

Congratulations!

I'm curious, what kind of unit is your hubby in? Hows the hunt for alpacas going? :) Congratulations again.

Everyone,

I was informed by one of my American buddies that the 26th of April is "Hug an Australian Day". I googled it and it seems to be some kind of copywrited holiday. Weird huh? Anyone else heard of this and/or get a hug out of it?

Oh, I put myself on the map too :)

Hi Jess,

Thanks for your advise! I rescheduled my interview to the 30th of May as well. Like Seren, i thought we will have a month's notice and then panicked when it was in two weeks.

For others who need to reschedule, all you have to do is email them and they respond pretty fast.

Thanks!

Jo

Hey All,

Thank you for your well wishes....I am seriously having the best time! Being reunited with your loved one is worth the visa journey wait.

Jezz, Jake is in the Army and the BBQ was with his platoon. was such a hot afternoon here after snow last week, was beautiful. The food was yummy and now I think I am addicted to cheese dip....No alpacas yet but maybe when we wbuy a house cause they wouldn't fit in the apartment! lol

Hey, I thought that he must be in the military. My fiancee is Navy so I'm interested to find another Aussie with a military man. Could Jake be deployed soon or is he on shore duty (or... the Army equivalent thereof). What are you going to do when he does go on det, anything particular? Tony is on shore duty for the next two years but will start long deployments again after that, short dets are business as usual however. Hopefully none too soon after I get there...I hope! I'm interested in hearing about your alpacas because they've been a favourite animal of mine since I was a little kid... weird I know. My first email address has the word "alpaca" in it. LOL

Anyway, great to hear from you. Congrats again :) I'm pretty sure that everyone on here is keen to see your wedding photos too, I love all wedding photos... oh, did he wear his uniform? Tony is going to wear his uniform for ours, We haven't decided between dress whites or dress blues yet.

Jess

Hey Paul....

When you gave them all your stuff at the interview, did you hand over photocopies of your passport and your affidavit of support and your other forms at the same time as the originals?

Did they give them back or keep them?

Did you include two photocopies of the DS-156 along with the two originals?

Thanks Paul!

Jess
