Woo! Got approved today! Interview was the easiest part of the process by far. Went into consulate at 8:45, left at 8:59 approved! Barely had to do a thing other than hand over my passport, get finger prints taken, sign a form and then left with my approval slip. Pretty much no questions asked, I suppose it helped having my Fiancee there in person as they weren't concerned about relationship evidence when she was standing there!

that's an excellent news !! congrats !! :)

Just have couple questions for you :

1. did you or your fiance(e) get the fingerprints done along with the police certificates?

2. our file is in transit to Sydney and should be there in a day or two, do you think we should get the medical and police certs out of the way ?

Thanks,

Thanks,

The police check has to be done based on fingerprint records so yes you will need to get your fingerprints take, I would do this immediately, also book the medical now as most states especially NSW have a wait time of 1-4 weeks for an appointment. Send in both criminal record check and medical with your packet 3, it will make things easier.

M.

Yes I had requested via email my Fiancee be able to come with me to the interview and they approved and added her name to the security checklist. I saw on the canberra embassy FAQ section for immigrant visas that if you fiance/husband/wife is in Australia they are encouraged to attend the interview, I guess you have to be pre-approved to bring them however as we all know they are quite ####### about consulate security . If you are fortunate enough to be with your significant other it is nice to have them with you and have someone to share the stress and anxiety with!!

I am so pleased for you Alex. I wish I could have taken my husband, he and our daughter walked around for an hour until I came out.

We are just doing our final finishing running around here as we leave to start our new journey in 5 days.

Good luck for your future and your upcoming wedding..

M.
