Hi all

What a week. One days notice for interview and then two days later Visa is in my hand. It is over. Thank you Sydney.

Words cannot express my thanks to all my Visa Journey friends. You have all been amazing. Whilst I may be finished with it all my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. Let's not get complacent just because I am done. A few weeks ago I was in your position.

Thank you dwheels for your constant support and advice - you truly are an amazing individual.

I will check back here to see how you are all going but for the next few days I need to concentrate on the million and one things I need to do to get myself, two children and two dogs ready to leave Australia in 13 days. Couldn't risk anything happening to the boys, a Elvis and Casper so we are using a professional animal transportation firm. The kids and I - well we can just rough it!!

Love to you all.

Debra

About interview instruction and papers preparation i have several questions.

I am going to have on interview following papers, please correct if i have missing or extra papers:

1. IMMIGRANT VISA ELECTRONIC APPLICATION (DS-260 AND DS-261) both applications

2. My Valid passport

3. Birth, marriage, Police Certificates originals translated and public notary on translation. (Actually i sent Birth, Marriage, Police and military originals and translations + Public notary, just i prefer to be on safe side and i did birth, marriage and police done over again, just i dont have military bc it is hard to recover. So actually they have to return me back originals and even i dont have to show them new, just in case if they dont have i will have backup, except military)

4. I have 3 color size 5X5 photo printed out by Kodak. I have also 3 color size 3x4 for medical examinations (back of photos are blank, i dont have to write anything yea? )

5. Proof on ongoing relationship (chat, photoes and so on, bank account statements)

6. PASSPORT DELIVERY REGISTRATION confirmation

7. Form I-864 by petitioner sponsor and joint sponsor and tax papers for joint sponsor. (My wife hasn't worked so we dont have tax papers for her)

Is there anything i am missing? you think all look great or there is something necessary?

Thanks, i am appreciating your advices and help.

Hello fellow VJers,

I got a new passport because I had almost run out of pages, but my DS 260 has my old passport data.

Do i have to do anything before the interview to change my DS or should i request the consular officer to change it during interview.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Unexpectedly we got an email telling us our interview date is NEXT WEEK 9th December is Sydney! We haven't even done the medical and we need to book flights today. Thankfully after reading the email from support @ ustraveldocs.com which says: (If you have not done the medical examinations, you may still attend the interview).

My questions is, the email also says in the beginning to log back into your account to view details but I don't see which account they mean. Could someone help? Any thoughts?
