OH MY GOSH. I don't mean to sound like a prepubescent teenage girl, but every time I come on VisaJourney, something wonderful happens. Just roughly 10 minutes ago, 12:36 am EST time, me and my fiancee discovered the email for packet 4. We literally just sent packet 3 back to the consulate on the 5th. Only a day and a half and we got packet 4. This is so exciting, and I can barely breathe. This is getting so real for me. I just wanna say how wonderful this is and for those who haven't reached this stage yet, just know that your turn is coming very shortly and when it does, the feeling is the best feeling in the world. I can definitely say that. I don't mean to sound like a braggart, but I just enjoy sharing my journey with all of you and like to hear the same from all of you other wonderful people here. This journey has been filled with a lot of stress, but it has made me a stronger person. I felt broken through most of this since we haven't seen eachother since December. It's been difficult, but each little milestone really gives you something to look forward to. To think shortly this will all be over and he'll be here in the states with me, is the best feeling ever.

We just tried to schedule the medical appointment by phone with Sydney at George St Medical Center, apparently they don't do medicals for visa's anymore? Also, another one on the list on VJ with Surry Hills has an invalid number....? Does anyone know the closest place near NSW that does medicals, excluding these two? They were the best ones.

Great news. His interview is September 26th at 8:30 am in Brisbane at Sydney Consulate. They explained everything on the phone to him and were super friendly. I'm pretty at ease now after hearing the conversation on speaker with the woman. It sounds pretty explanatory. He booked a 2 day stay hotel on the same street to make it even easier for us. I'm so excited.  The medical is September 14th, so he's leaving on the 12th since he's taking Trainlink to get there. Pretty affordable transportation. So all in all, medical is the 14th and interview is the 26th. If approved, I can see him having his visa by the beginning of October and since he has nothing keeping him in Australia, as soon as the visa is issued, he's booking his flight. Glad this is all figured out and now I get to anticipate this as well as be extremely nervous for him. Such a long process, but all so worth it now that were literally coming to the finish line. They told us the medical was roughly $500 AUS, plus he only needs the Varicella vaccination and they said they do it on the phone. They said for him to bring all of his vaccination records, passport, drink plenty of water, and laid everything out in detail on the phone. I think interview is my only worry as it stands. Probably worry a bit on his transportation, since I always worry about his safety (OCD and anxiety), but I think that's a given with all of us in LDR's. I'm just happy that everything is more simplified and all we have to do is organize our checklist. Plus, what better than it being September, and next month October. These have got to be two of my favorite months. Autumn is truly wonderful.

More good news today. Our case shows READY. Hopefully that lights a fire under the lawyer. Next step is scheduling the interview in Montreal for us, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and we're close enough that we can start making some plans for the holidays.

Congratulations! This is a great news! 

May the rest of the process be smooth and super fast!

Was approved at interview yesterday (Montreal consulate), yay=) Now to figure out when we will be able to PoE. Good luck to everyone else !

Varicella? Did he have the chickenpox as a child? Then he doesn't need it! Also, if he isn't sure, I would have your family doc do a titers test to check his immunity to it instead of administering the vaccine! That test will also check his immunity to measles and mumps and rubella etc, which is great peaceful of mind! But those results could take a few days to a week to get back. Just an FYI. But if he had chickenpox as a child, he doesn't require the vaccine. @amishbaby
