How to find our “Priority date”?

[NinjaChicken 5]

Hello all! My fiancé and I are trying to pay for our interview at the Sydney consulate and one of the pieces of data they require is our “priority date”, but we’re having trouble determining what it should be. According to the interwebs it should be on our I-797C form, but nothing there says “Priority date”. We only have a received date of Nov 18th and a notice date of Nov 22nd on that form.

 

We contacted the consulate support and they’re telling us our priority date is March 3rd, which is very confusing. On the website to pay the interview fee it states that any incorrect information may result in delays or the forfeiting of the fee, so we’re trying to make sure it’s correct before paying 🤦‍♂️

 

Anyone able to add some clarity? Thanks so much!

When is your interview ?

Sorry mine is EB3 , my priority date is when my labour Certificate was lodged. It seems like your is a marriage stream.

It should be the date the NOA1 was issued.

We can’t schedule our interview until we get this last bit of information confirmed and can pay the interview fee.

 

I suspect your process is quite different than the one we go through. We don’t have a labor certificate.

Which would be the received date on the I-797C form, right? I don’t know where Support@ustraveldocs.com came up with March 3rd 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

 

Why is this process so convoluted? Lol

"Priority date" is not typically used for K-1s.

That would explain why I've never come across this term before in all my K1 research...
