Hubby has a little drama with flying from Melb to Sydney on the morning of the interview, although we planned flights with the possibility of delays in mind. He was scheduled on the 7.35am Jetstar flight due to arrive at 9am and there was an issue with the plane and they were delayed about 30 minutes. No problem in the end he had plenty of time since his interview was not until 11am. If you have the money, it is worth staying in a hotel the night before so you don't have the stress if your flight gets delayed.
He took the train from the airport to the city from the domestic terminal and got off at the St James station. The train took 15 minutes.
He arrived and went through security with no dramas and he was allowed to take the CD with his medical results that some people have reported they couldn't take and had to come back down to get.
He got upstairs, took a number and waited to be called to the window where they looked at his paperwork and then he sat back down and waited to be called for the interview.
He heard other people getting questioned quite a lot and was feeling nervous, but since our case is very straightforward, they didn't ask him too many questions. They asked where/when we met, what he planned to do for work, why we were moving, where we were planning to live, if our 3 kids where US citizens and how, what we do for work, and they asked him a few questions about our financial situation (if we own our house, cars, how much money we would likely have to take with us once we sold everything).
We were pretty prepared with evidence of our finances, since we didn't provide a joint sponsor, but one thing I forgot to provide was proof of mortgage (I had only included a rates notice and house valuation) but they were still satisfied and we were approved. He was done in about an hour total from entering the building to exiting the building.
I was very impressed with how quickly they printed and posted the visa, we received it in 48 hours. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
