Ok guys here's how it went. Sorry this turned into War and Peace but anyway. Since we're from Brisbane we decided to turn the interview into a mini-vacation and went a few days early to do some sight-seeing. We're paying for plane tickets anyway right? As a bonus my wife became excited about...

Thanks for all the messages guys! Just went on a "like" frenzy. To think I've finally got a greencard after all these years just blows my mind. It's not possible to post a decent interview report while travelling but since I'm back at my computer I'll do a write-up later today.

4 hours is just a guess. It might be 15 mins, however if you're in a queue for a long time you'll miss your flight. Yes pre-clearance is immigration by the USA inside Canada or another country. It is a fully staffed US immigration office. Montreal and Ottawa both have pre-clearance...

Could you share your list of documents? I'm looking for ideas.

Sorry I meant embassy interview experience. How'd you solve the incorrect name issue etc

Congratulations Kellie Jane!!! Trip report please ;-)

Questions about the Express Post 3kg bag. I've written my work's address on the front. Should I sign the "Dangerous Goods Declaration"? I'm not actually the sender. I'm thinking: no Should I fill out the "From" section on the back? I'm thinking: yes (sorry guys I'm going to be annoying for...

I think I'll wear a long sleeve shirt to my appointment. Something went wrong with the blood test and now my elbow-pit looks like a meth addict's injection site. (doesn't look too bad in the photo actually)

That's right! @Dalia2015 I'm bringing an indexed file with a document for every possible situation. If the CO questions me about finance - out comes my finance statements, police clearances then reciprocity etc.

The dropbox files need an update. They're sending out the April 2015 version.
