Approved, pending medical. At the time of my interview, my medical results had not been received by the Consulate. The officer said that all is ok, and will finalise the K1 Visa when the meds come in. I was advised by the Doctors office that they were posted on the 27th October. Hopefully, I will see my Visa mid next week. |

| Embassy Review : |
The interview process was exactly as the previous reviews. Line up at security, not to long to wait, go down and wash your hands, turn off your phone and smart watch. You are given a blue satchell to put your small belongings such as phone, keys, watch etc. you are directed to a desk to have your docs checked and placed in a clear envelope and handed back to you. You head through the metal detector (same as airport security) You are guided to elevator and a security officer presses the button. You leave the elevator, turn right, go through a very heavy door. Once in the ‘inner’ sanctum you take a number and seat. Once called up, you hand over the docs, finger prints are taken, you then take a seat to wait for the interview. The interview is conducted through the glass petition similar to the bank tellers. Providing all your docs are in order and the affidavit of support is sufficient, the actual interview is a breeze. You just need to be truthful about your relationship, family etc. I found the consulate and security staff polite, respectful and helpful. They certainly took the anxiety of the interview away. Thank you to the staff at the Sydney consulate. ðŸ‘😊

Timeline Comments: 5We are super excited that our application was processed at this time, given the stress that the USCIS must be under at the moment. Thank you for continuing to work through this challenging period. s
Hi.
What actions did you take between the time you received your NOA2 and consolate interview?
Hi Bernie. We waited it out for 5 months then applied for an expedited interview based on hardship. We were fortunate to be granted one
Aloha - really hoping you can shed some light for us here. We had our K1 final interview appointment canceled in Sydney in March and have heard nothing since. We should be one of the first ones to reschedule interviews because they closed the consulate the next day. How did you get your appointment rescheduled? Did you file an expedited request? Is Sydney doing k1 interviews again? Any info would be great because we're on pins and needles waiting. Thanks in advance and all the best
Hello. Apologies the delayed response. We files an expedited interview based on hardship. Have you contacted the Consulate direct? The email address is. support-australia@ustraveldocs.com
Be sure to add you case number in the subject line.
Good luck, I hope you hear positive news soon.
*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.
** Not all cases are transfered
