Oh my! 
 

So Air NZ have cancelled all Auckland to SFO flights from 15 Sep.

 

from 15 September onwards they only have flights Tuesday's, Thursday’s and Sunday’s. My flight is booked on a Thursday and so far has not been cancelled but is pretty full at the moment. 
 

what a time. You really need to go ASAP. Flights are disappearing quick. 

I had a look on both Flight centre and the Air NZ website and there is nothing for the rest of the year.
🤣 just my luck

Ah so bad!!!! I really hope my flight isn’t cancelled. 
 

I think united are still flying and qatar via east coast.

you might be fine, might be because I'm flying from brisbane and my final destination.

All the flight I have found all fly out of Sydney most are Qantas/United flights, the other is Virgin/Delta.

HI!

For those who managed to get an expedite for their k1 visa to go from nvc to the Sydney consulate did you email the sydneyiv email address? I keep seeing so many different expedites and email addresses I am now confused again!

 

(NVC has confirmed they have finished processing our visa and its just down to Sydney now)

Hi, I'm reaching out to anyone who has been for an interview at the US Consulate recently for some information around how the interview goes.  I've read some posts and they've been very useful.  I'd be glad to hear of anyone's experiences from start to finish, but I'm particularly keen to hear if I should take certified copies of all the original documents, or do they just sight the originals and hand them back?     Do I need to take copies of things that were digital to start with, such as a tax transcript.

 

In the email they sent me for prep for the interview on the 22nd, they were quite specific about the original documents that I needed to bring, but I think I should take as much as possible, particularly around the AOS supporting documents.  I'm keen to hear other people's experiences and advice.  TIA

😖 Qantas are terrible in my opinion and overpriced.. virgin and UAE are two of the best especially when it comes to between meal service... Air NZ and Fiji are two reasonable cheap options.
 

For those looking for flights check out JET COST app.. I’ve saved thousands of $$$$ over the years by using them, generally they give prices at least a couple of hundred cheaper than regular websites.

Thank you! My friends husband emailed On Sept 2nd received a reply saying they would respond within 1-2 business days still haven’t heard back yet. So was wondering what the average time between the email request and approval was. 

Hey Patty I sent my expedite on 31/8 and received a reply on 5/9 that they are reviewing it. Currently still waiting. Have you heard back yet?

THANKYOU! I emailed them on the 3rd of September and they replied today saying it was approved. I know there are few different types of expedites out there but this was to get my case to the consulate from NVC so it took 7 business days to Get a response.

That's awesome! Yeah I believe mine is the same. I'm DQ'd and my case is stuck at NVC. Hopefully my approval is only a few days behind yours then!
