Out of curiosity, how long does it take to get the actual visa after a successful interview for I-129F? We're trying to book her one-way ticket to here now and refundable fares totally suck :wacko:

hi ya calcheng

there are a few other things to consider too...if you get a friday interview and your fiance doesn't live in the sydney area (meaning other state) get her to stay the weekend and pick up the visa on the monday..

also there is a thing called public holidays that gets in the way too...because the american embassey gets the american public holidays plus the australian so look out for that also..

also there has been a few aussie's that received their passports in the mail longer than sharyna about a week i think it was...so if your fiance can stay longer or go back the next day to pick it up in the afternoon...i would do so...

good luck to you both hope the interview isnt too far down the track ...what with this apec meeting thing going on ...

hi sharyna.. what type of coffee are you after...i buy the international roast from the link i told ya about...

hope everyone is going well ohh ohhh tomorrow vylex and mrs vylex get married again whoooo hoooo...

cant wait to see some pics vylex if ya dont mind sharing...

take care all

Hi ALL

Am slowly settling into NYC life...very fast paced..but it's really exciting and great...my mom's friend from high school runs her own ad/marketing agency here and offered me an internship..which will be an amazing opportunity for me!!

Congrats on your license Kath and the job..both awesome news. I filed my AOS on July 30th...sucks that I had to pay $1020 ...but if I had filed earlier I would have only had to pay $580..so that was really shitty!! I had no choice really...the doc was taking ages to get my TB Skin test results- still think that is outrageous..considering we already paid for a TB chest x-ray in Australia!! I am getting a bit worried..cos the USCIS still hasn't cashed our check and we filed nearly 2 wks ago...wondering why this is? I tracked down the package and it was delivered..just wondering why they're taking so long! Any input is welcome!

PHEW! That's enough from me!! Hope you're all well!!

UPDATE: I got a letter for my biometrics appointment on Wednesday. It is in on August 31st. It is the first thing I've heard too! No NOA1 just the biometrics appointment.

CONGRATS! You're so lucky! I filed for AOS on July 30th and UPS says it was delivered on July 31st...Haven't heard anything and am getting VERY worried?!!? Any thoughts?? I thought that the backlog may be due to the fee increase...and ppl getting confused by that, so maybe that's slowing down! I want my EAD already!!!

Thanks! Tamzo, I wouldn't get too stressed, I'm sure a lot depends on how busy your part of the US is for appointments and all those sorts of factors. We're going down to Alexandria VA for our appointment, its about an hour and 40 minutes drive from us. Oh, we sent out stuff in on the 22nd or 23rd of July too. FYI

I want my EAD too!

I got my drug and alcohol course certificate today, that is one thing down, and one step closer to my licence. Tony & I are going to go on base this weekend to practice my parallel parking skills in the empty parking lot. It'll be good times I'm sure :blink:
