Congrats Rings on the NOA, that's great news! Priscilla yours won't be far away now I hope. Fingers, knees, toes, etc, crossed for you!

Hey Vik, wow your interview is real close then! How many sleeps is that? I am sure you will do just fine and you will also feel so much better when it is over. The relief is amazing. I am planning to leave Oz early April now so we might be going at the same time. Are you going through JFK to get your temp EAD stamp? I will be flying to tahiti then JFK, Denver and Colorado Springs. I think i get in at the inhuman hour of 3.20am. Are you going to be living in SF, my fiance is from there. Wow we might be able to catch up there sometime when we go for holidays to see his Mother.

Btw, how did you sell your car so quick? That's great now if you could just sell mine.....

Thank you again roomies for yesterday, I am much better today. It's called chocolate and I am taking it medicinally! Seriously, it was you folks in here that perked me up again.

Thank you for all of the support you guys! I sent out I-130F Petition priority mail today and that should arrive in Chicago in two days. I am having them sign for it so hopefully it will get there on time and we can start our second journey. Good luck to you guys! I hope that everyone is well!

Goodluck

I couldn't understand why yours and Vylex' was getting there so quickly, then I realised of course that you guys are in the States and are sending it from there...doh! So of course ours will take a little longer to both arrive and our NOA1 to recieve...! *Penny finally dropped*...... Now I can worry a little less even if it will take that little bit longer, hence why we are going to do Jame's shortcuts....lol..

[Poi_n_J 0]

Lol.. I couldn't help but notice Rings, you wrote I-130F in your message & I-139F in your signature..I think you meant I-129F..lol.. *Thanks for the giggle* these things sure are confusing aye....

I'm thinking of doing Jame's shortcuts too but I just hope they are still valid when it's our turn. That barcode generating thing seems cool but it worries me too since I want to be sure it will read correctly.

As for the delivery of petitions, I would drive it up to the Vermont Service Center myself (6+ hour drive) if I could get them to start processing it immediately. The funny thing is I remember driving through St. Albans in Vermont many years ago when I drove to Montreal. It's a pretty small quaint town near the Green mountains. I wonder if the whole town is employed by the USCIS!

Yeah I wondered that too Vy, when I read them, especially as the dates of them are old. But I did read in a string on here where someone else queried that too but apparantly it should be ok as long as you change the visa title to suit and as long as the bar code is correct. I was thinking I might just change the date also. It looks like yours will happen first so I may just see how you go..... lol..

The whole town..! lol. Hmm...now if I could just get my pilot license.....lol.

[Rings 10]

Gah! lol I did write 139F I think I have been staring at this paperwork for too long lol. Ok I changed it, but at least I knew what I was talking about lol

Great news for those caught in the middle of DCF...

At least it is something in writing. Those of us in LIMBO now have an idea of what will happen. I've already recieved an email from someone else who did DCF in Sydney, that Sydney is requesting for their passports so they can be stamped with it's final approval of the visa.

I'm just waiting to hear from them myself to get my wife's visa put into her passport.

One more thing... if you haven't already filed your I-130 petition... you must now file it in the US. This only pertains to those who have already filed the I-130 at an Embassy or Consulate abroad. So hurry and get those petitions in... We all lost over a month due to this big headache.

That's fantastic news!! Consulate is going to be closed from 7th March - 9th March.

How did they contact the other person who went through Sydney DCF? Do you know when that person's original interview was supposed to be?

From the DCF thread, John and Sonya got their interview date re-scheduled!

So it is slowly progressing...

Just a question regarding the final interview:

Is this all that's needed:

• Medical
  
• Police cert + copy
  
• Marriage cert + copy
  
• Birth Cert + copy
  
• Passport
  
• Passport photo
  
• I-864
  

Am I forgetting anything else? Are the questions basically from the DS230?

hi elle

for the interview they want to see the originals of things you have sent in..by all means take copies just in case they want to keep them but it didnt happen with the k1...photo copy your police certificate a few times so you have a copy of it yourself...they need the original medical and police cert...

questions can be just about anything to let them know your telling the truth...eg...when were you married..where does your husband live.....any more proof of your relationship ... phone bills photo's wedding invites wedding pics receipts for your reception an minister...anything that might help them determine your bonofide applicant mate...

dont be too worried it will all turn out on the day...

kath..

ps david i beat ya by an hour on that link lol...

This person emailed the consulate and the consulate told them to send in their passport. They had their final interview back in early February I think... and we were all in Limbo.

Good To See you again David & Stephanie

Hope you all that where going through DCF get through this ok

Hey Guys and Dolls needed.

I am trying to figure out when the Sydney Consulate Mail out to me,

The Beneficary, the Upcoming Medical and Interview Stuff.

Do they send it Regular Post,

or do they send it to me through DHL?

DO THEY SEND IT TO CHERYL AS THEY DID SEND HER MY NVC NOTICE,

THAT IT HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO SYDNEY CONSULATE ,

IT WAS ADDRESSED TO ME BUT AT CHERYL'S ADDRESS.

WILL THE CONSULATE DO THE SAME AS NVC,

AND SEND IT ADDRESSED TO ME BUT TO CHERYL'S ADDRESS,

IN MASSACHUSETTS?

AND IF SO HOW CAN I TRACK IT FROM THE CONSULATE.

NVC SAID ON THE PHONE THEY MAILED OUT OUR CASE TO SYDNEY,

ON THE 20TH FEBRUARY 2007.

IS THERE ANYWAY OF TRACKING SAID DOCUMENTS?

JUST CURIOUS IS ALL.

I RAN AROUND LIKE A CHOOK WITH IT'S HEAD OF TODAY

AS I REALISED THE ADDRESS ON OUR CR1 FOR ME WAS MY OLD ADDRESS.

SO I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE PAID 11 BUCKS FOR A MONTHS REDIRECTION OF MY MAIL,

THEN WENT TO MY OLD ADDRESS AND ASKED ,

THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE NOW,

TO HOLD ANY MAIL FOR ME TILL SATURDAY.

THEY SAID NO WORRIES MATE

SO HAVE ALL BASES COVERED

HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL AND NOT TO MUCH CHOCOLATE BY A CERTAIN MEMBER IS BEING TAKEN CHECK WITH YOU DOCTOR.. FOR AMOUNT ALLOWED PER 24 HOURS :energetic:

CHEERS

hi ya paul

i did a search on vj for you..i entered DHL tracking...and i think i found your package for you...

go to the link below.

DHL tracking

from looks of it ...its the date you said it was sent from NVC....

here is how i did it mate

Go to DHL.com

It will ask for your location... put USA, even though your not there. At the top there are some drop-down menus... click on 'Track' menu, then select 'track by reference'... click on it.

In the 'reference' field, type: correspondence

Use the date drop-down menus to select dates a day or so either side of when the NVC claimed to have forwarded your petition to the consulate.

In the 'origin postal code' field, type: 03801

Then click 'track'....Click on the red tracking number for a package, and you will be able to track its progress and see when it's been signed for at the consulate.

there ya go

good luck

kath

your packet 3 and 4 should get delivered to your address..and good on you for covering all bases..

maybe you should also email the consulate in Syd of your change of address too...

Hi All,

A friend sent this video link to me. He knew how frustrated I got after the DCF was disallowed.

It's definitely exaggerated but I found humor in it.

I needed something to make me laugh after reading some posts about people having extended delays waiting for their paperwork to be processed at the VSC.
