Hi guys. My visa status says "ready" which is great but isn't there some kind of form I have to fill in? Applicant readiness or something? Ih ave everything ready. My region was absolutely flattened by a devastating cyclone in the last few days, we have no power and were without running water for 4 days. It's unbelievably hot and so hard to sleep because we can't power our fans or air conditioners. Anyway that aside I have the visa package all ready to go, the only thing I need to add to it is our book of wedding photos.

i thought the same thing but havent done anything other then get ready for the interview ( have medical and gather paperwork) so im hoping there isnt lol, i always thought I was meant to pay something else before the interview too but cant find anything on it.

Hey, Aussies! You don't need anything else - no "applicant readiness" form. The only "special" paper you would need is the email with permission for your spouse or children to attend the interview with you, if that is applicable to your case.

We are in south Queensland, so missed the wind of the cyclone, though we got the rain. Hope your area recovers soon.

Enjoy Sydney! Do the Bridge Climb while you are there!

Oh heaven sakes no not 3000!!! :wow: . You think they going to read 300 emails. What did you submit with your petition or submit tat NVC? All you should be bringing to interview is updated evidence. a brief sampling of talks a ling (screen shots of time stamp of time sent is fine. Call logs, IM's, chats, skype whatever communication you use.

hahah way too many :goofy: This would be the first time I submit any kind of evidence, I just don't know with Cuba since it's so unpredictable. Thank you for your help.

I am so upset I booked my appointment for my medical and the lady schedule my medical for the 16th of March and my interview is 23rd. Isn't that too short of a time? According to her it's fine but I think not should I call back a demand a earlier date? Or is it sufficient time?

It should be fine. They will make sure to have your medical packet ready for pick up before your interview. My packet was ready for pick up the next day.

This depends a lot on the country so maybe you should ask people from Jamaica, but if you told the doctor your interview date and they said it was fine it will probably be okay. I got my results the same day! (8am appointment, had the results by 3pm)
