Hi I have just sent my ds 2001 to the sydney consulate. I emailed them and they told me that they were scheduling interviews for the month of january 2008! and that they shall let me know when my interview will be. I thought sydney was faster! So It looks like several months without the wife! Has anybody else had this with sydney or put in their ds 2001 recently and have been scheduled a interview sooner? Thanks

Wow! I am sorry to hear about the delay in Australia. I submitted my DS-230 in July. Jamaica has a wait of 2-3 months for K-3 filers to receive an interview. Hopefully, you will get through way before January. Please do not allow this immigration process to cause any tension between you and your wife. If any thing, this ordeal should bring you two closer. Take care.

I hope it goes faster, Im sure there will be no tension between my wife and I, I suppose immigration is a great way to learn patience, and a few months is nothing compared to other places, it will bring us closer thanks for the reply.

I dont believe there is usually such a wait but the APEC summit in Sydney really has messed things up. I will have to request an earlier interview to the embassy if there is a cancellation.
