| Embassy Review : |
Everything went very smoothly. The people at the consulate were very nice. No problems with security, and they were very nice. Took all of our electrical equipment (We came from the plane.) Their credit card machine wasn't working, so my husband had to run for a ATM, but aside from that, no troubles at all. We were asked some minor questions, about where we were going to live, what my husband did, and he said we were very prepared. That is COMPLETELY because of visajourney. Thank you so much to everyone who contributes. And to the Sydney Consulate for being so lovely and making us feel welcome. Especially after getting only two hours of sleep before. xo. |

*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.
