I was asked a few questions and spent my time waiting talking to another lady who is married to the USC. They hired an Immigration Lawyer and she said they have given them nothing but grief & lots of misinformation. I told her about all you amazing people here on VJ and she said she had heard of this site but never came here.
I was asked:
Q. How did you meet?
A. We met in Second Life.
Q. Whats that?
A. An online game.
Q. When are you planning on travelling?
A. We are hoping for this weekend.
Q. What does he do for work?
A. He is a Windows System Administrator/Infastructure Analyst or I affectionately call him the IT Geek. (she laughed)
Q. How do you keep in touch?
A. We keep in touch via phone,email, msn, Skype whichever web cam program works best on the day really.
Q. DO you have any proof of the relationship?
A. (holding lime green folder full of it!) I said yes would you like to see the chat logs or the emails? She replied 'No its ok I found the photos and they are better'
Q. (She asked Rebekkah my daughter) Is that your brother?
A. Yes it is.
Q. Did he not want to go with you?
A. No he wanted to complete Years 11 & 12.
'Love the photos around Sydney...who took them?'
Oh a friend of mine who is from Seattle. We flew her in from Brisbane for the day to take our engagement photos.
'Ok everything is in order, your visa is approved. We will print out your visa & have everything mailed out to you in the satchel in the next 2-3 days. The yellow envelope you are not to open it, but keep it with you in your carry on and hand it over at the airport you come in to.'
From packet 3 to interview was only 2 weeks. |

We arrived for our AOS interview 30 minutes early. It was rather quick interview process. The IO was great. He joked around with us and my daughter. A few questions, he looked through our photos & other evidence and said' I didnt need to see this as I can see you are a genuine couple but it is nice to see what different people compile' I chuckled and said ' I would have thought we would mostly compile the same things' He responded by saying ' No not all you. You have been very thorough in what you have put into your folder, whereas some people just bring a bunch of papers. Everyone is different' I was stunned...this file has important documents such as bank statements, wedding announcements, photos, insurance paperwork...it needs to be looked after not just stuffed together into a pile. Then again perhaps I am anal LOL!
All is all a great interview |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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
