Congrats again everyone, great work getting through! Last month there was a very experienced 1st document checker training two younger girls. I thought they were on work experience! Given that they only do interviews once a month they wouldn't have had much experience since.

Congrats Hershal, very exciting!! Did your CO have a beard? Ours had a beard and a good sense of humour.

Congrats Gandt!!

You were through so fast! We were held up firstly by the couple who had not photocopied their documents, then the family of 6 but we really didn't mind as it was fun chatting to everyone. It really is an efficient interview process.

Congrats on your 2NL. It took us 2 hrs at the Consulate. Interview was at 9:15 and our flight home was 2pm. We had hours to spare. I did a detailed interview report a few pages back if you want to know more.

I've called them a few times on the train on my way to work. So it would have been at 6am. Yes do press zero so you are not waiting for nothing!

We opened a Bank of America account in 2012 and told them we were travelling around the USA. We still have it along with funds waiting until we arrive in June. They wouldn't give us a credit card for obvious reasons but we didn't need it either. They did have a good reward program with their...

We started preparing in August last year for our Vaccinations. We just thought it was easier and cheaper to do it prior to the medical. We have one more of the course of 3 Hep A & Hep B which are not required for the medical. I had immunity for Measles and Rubella but forgot to take the proof to...

Here is our interview experience from last week: Immigration interviews are only held on a Tuesday and our interview was scheduled for 10 February 2015. For Australia, they are only held at the US Consulate in Sydney. After a nice stroll through Hyde Park we were still early so went to visit...

We received our passports and immigration packs back today! Only took 2 days from Sydney which was fast! @Carolineinthecity the passport photos were still taped on the front of the passports so you don't need to worry that they gave yours back.

Thanks!

Congratulations Deb and Gandt on your March interview!!! Very exciting! I have lots to write about and will do our interview experience in the next few days when I catch my breath!

We received ours too, very efficient!

No problem, we weren't given our DS260 back. Have a safe flight, we just boarded.

Yes he kept them. I gave two on level 10 and she gave one back. I would call them or go back if you can. At the fingerprint window they scanned the photo, not sure if they need the original?

We were approved too! Very exciting! Nice to meet you Caroline, the family were still going when we left. They are moving to Colorado too. I haven't seen the new VB but I hope many more went current. Will catch up soon and write about our very easy and relaxing interview.

Thanks Emily and everyone else for the well wishes. Everything is ready for tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. Suicideblonde, have a great flight and all the best.

Glad you found the answer - don't you pay it at POE? Farewell drinks for my old manager tonight. One of my work colleagues used to live in Golden and is friends with someone who lives there (she's Australian). So she said he wouldn't mind if we had our Greencard sent there. Another ex-colleague...

I'm really happy for you that it's come. Bit of a nail biting ride we didn't need being so close to the interview! Hopefully ours will come today or tomorrow otherwise times up and we will have to use the original one - with letter from the US Consulate saying it's acceptable. We don't get mail...

Good to know, I thought it would happen by ticking that box. Should know by now it's not safe to assume! Thanks for the tip.
