Hi baime22

Where in Australia do you live? We are in Adelaide.

Out PD is 20 September. The excitement is too much to bear. Wearing down the battery on the iPad.

Congratulations to all of you who have been transferred so far.

Brilliant to see some more transfers, waiting patiently for ours now, hopefully not too much longer

We are in Melbourne at the moment. Hoping and praying that we get the visa before my working holiday visa runs out at the end of July, if not then, hopefully by our wedding in Oct. And yes...we are so excited to finally see some movement.

We are October filers (living in Sydney) and reading this is quite exciting.

Nonetheless, I doubt we will get everything through until mid to late November, which presents the problem of leaving Australia on the verge of summer to hit the USA on the verge of winter!

I hope it doesn't take over a year...that would seriously blow. But...why is leaving summer to go to winter a bad thing? xD I like winter...real winter, not this winter.

I think it will take about a year, so that puts us at October.

I'm the Aussie, and have only ever seen snow once - so the thought of a bleak, freezing winter instead of a summer of snorkelling is a bit daunting. My wife is of the same opinion too.

For us I think September is the make or break date for us to leave this year, and there is a slim chance that the USCIS can approve and process our application in 11 months.

I love the beach but I miss my snow skiing and mountain hiking and such, not overly fond of the heat.

I'm still hopeful for 9-11 months based on what our lawyer has said and looking at the timelines here, but if push comes to shove, we'll try to get him a B-visa to visit so we can have the wedding then come back and finish waiting, already had to put it off once...

My status just changed again. Haven't gotten an email yet, probably within the next 30 minutes

One more to go! (Or two, hmm).

Edit; Just got the second email update.

Ok gang, here's a handy tip I got from our great friend Kaylara about how to find out where you got transferred (if you don't want to wait for the letter, as those tend to take about 10 days to arrive)!

Wait about 3 days from your transfer and contact USCIS. Play stupid! "I just got 3 e-mails about my case being transferred. I don't know what's going on? Where's my case going?" Chances are, the person you're talking to won't know either, but a Tier 2 should. If you get a canned response, it's okay. Just call back. Good luck everyone!

That sounds like a lot of work. I'm going to assume my petition was transferred to Nebraska and hope to be pleasantly surprised when the hardcopy comes in. I find that low expectations make any bureaucratic process less stressful. On that note, I am now eagerly awaiting my RFE!

Hahah..I like this approach a lot! Underestimate and over-deliver is the way to go with USCIS!
