THE NATIONAL POLICE CHECK AND FINGERPRINTS,

ARE IN MY POSSESSION :dancing::dance:

ONLY TOOK 6 WEEKS AND 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS FOR THEM TO,

FINALLY GET MY ADDRESS CORRECT ON BOTH THE,

NATIONAL POLICE CLEARANCE AND FINGERPRINTS.

AND HAVING TO DO THE FINGERPRINTS DIGITALLY 3 TIMES FFS!! :ranting::protest:

WELL THERE YA GO YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE ALL DETAILS,

THAT ARE ON ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS ARE TRUE AND CORRECT.

OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE PROBLEMS FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD.

CHEERS

PAUL

It is 27 days, 16 hours, 3 minutes and 27 seconds until Friday, 9 February 2007 at 10:30:00 AM (Adelaide time) TILL I SEE MY WIFEE HERE IN PERSON. (L):dance:

Hi Paul,

glad your police check soapie is over :)

It was their fault so just as well they didn't charge you again. And good thing you didn't have ink all over your hands like girl :)

Mine was digital as well. I had a bit of problem getting them to take me in without letter from the consulate, but that was sorted out thanks to help from everyone here :) and all was ok after that. What I've noticed though - certificate is issued by NSW Criminal Records Section, with no reference to AFP. Not sure if they sent request to Canberra at all, since they can do national check here anyway. As if I care! I got the paper saying I am "a good guy" nationally. LOL

And - it's cute to see how excited you are and counting down to your wife's arrival! I was doing same kind of thing when I was MUCH ;) younger!

PS: What happened to this last emote? I was winking! But it looks funny for a wink! Ohh... cyber talk!!! :unsure:

Hi Ausqueen,

When I applied for my National Police Clearance & Fingerprints,

I circled the Civil/Visa Section on the aplication form,

and that is what I recieved.

I just said I needed it for My Visa Application and they said "No Probs"

Well I'm no spring Chook either ya know.. I am Just looking forward to being /seeing my Wifee (Cheryl- NorthernGirl) again.

It has been 9 months since we touched last :rolleyes::innocent:

Anyways When I do My POE.. WILL THEY TAKE MY PRINTS AGAIN?

If So will it be INK or DIGITAL?

Cheers

Paul :dance:

It is 26 days, 11 hours, 30 minutes and 55 seconds until Friday, 9 February 2007 at 10:30:00 AM (Adelaide time)

Till I am with my Wifee again :dance:

Then it must be the 9 months wait! LOL

I admit, that is an awful long time to be apart. Good on you for finding the way to cope with it. I mean, we all have to. I was lucky Aaron and I met often first half of the year. But after our week together in June, by November it was tough! Maybe it was also due to our attorney trouble and delay in our process, and his Sydney work project not coming through. Yet again - thanks to VJ and people in here - we figured out I do have a chance to visit US and it worked out just fine! Now... I am ok with waiting for the rest of the journey to be completed!

As for fingerprints at POE, I think they do only routine for all visitors - NO INK :) - not sure if it is any different when you enter with immigrant visa. Those who've been through that already can tell us!

Michelle, congratulations on successful interview!

Elle (from Blacktown, right?) - happy for your walk in and wish you great time with Eric!

I am curious, how did Kath go with her job interview - or skills test? Have I missed that post somewhere?

And everyone - happy and short wait for whatever you are looking forward to :-)

xoxo

Hey everyone,

I have a question after reading Michelle's interview review.....

Do I need to supply my income details as well. You know bank statements, tax return, pay slips, etc, at the interview?

It doesn't say anything in my interview instructions so just wondering what everyone else did or are doing?

I am already so nervous about the interview and it's still 2 and half weeks away. I think of all of it this is the hardest wait because you know that this is the final approval. Where others as stressed as I am? I keep getting a nervous tummy everytime I think about it! :wacko:

Thanks

Hi Lyndel,

I supplied my financial status instead of the I-134 supplied by a fiance/spouse. My fiance was going through a crazy busy time at work and was too slow in getting together the I-134 supporting documentation for my liking!! I'm not known for my patience so I decided to show them I have my own funds (one of the options on the Packet 3 paperwork).

Thanks Michelle,

Jake filled in an I-134 for me and has sent me the evidence for his income. I am thinking that I might take some of my own income evidence along with me just in case. Mainly because I am a paranoid, nervous wreck. lol :wacko:

Can't wait until all of this is over. Hey I bet you must feel a great deal of relief now you have the interview out of the way! Wishing you all the best. :)

Ya, I can deal without anymore stress too. I thought our interview date might come a few days after yours because of the RFE. But I guess they must have reserved a date for us when they initially recieved our forms, assuming that we'd send back the forms straight away. Well, it works out great because my wife can fulfill her two weeks notice at work and still make it here to the states before the start of her Uni which is at the end of February. I guess I can plan a really nice Valentines day celebration for her!

Ya, when we did DCF in November, the lady asked us to take everything out as she asked for them. We had everything in an expanding folder so it was quite easy to keep everything in order. This is her last interview and the only thing I know she'll definitely have to bring was my affidavit of support(filled out the wrong one initially, they had me fill out a different one) and of course a pre-paid priority envelope to mail back her passport and visa.
