Thank you sms1mom. That is very interesting about aus passports being exempt, thanks for the link. I will leave my name the way it is. I didn't really care about changing my name anyway, was just more curious than anything. I appreciate your fast and detailed reply :) thank you again.

Morning My passport is due to expire in November 2015 so I am curious to know if I have to get this updated before the POE in June/July? Some cases passports need to be valid for 6 months after the date of travel. Because I now have the GC Visa stamped in the expiring passport, will the 6...

We were looking at Colorado too, just stunning there. We like the mild weather in nc and the employment there seems promising. Lucky you have a job to go to! We have to start fresh and sell up but have been wanting this for a long time so are looking forward to the move. Esp with the cost of...

Oh how exciting @Deb7a ! Not long to go!!! I bet the samsung note would be a fraction of the price in the states too. We are likely flying in early July to activate in lax. Settling in North Carolina after we sell up at the end of this year. Can't wait! Where are you going to settle?

Thank you deb, yeah I posted my own reply as you posted yours. Ended up answering my own question. I worry about fake sites and putting my credit card into random sites. (I have a friend who ended up paying over $100 for an esta visa that should have cost $15 due to being on an incorrect site)...

Thanks @Deb7a we posted at the same time :) these things are a nightmare to navigate on an iphone. Will open it on the laptop I think. Are you flying out soon?

Actually, I think I just found the correct site. http://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-immigrant-fee

Would someone be kind enough to post the correct link to pay the uscis fee ($165) thank you.

Haha @EmilyW I am a shoe girl too and will be taking my collection! Imagine all the new styles we can buy in usa :)

Thank you @Deb7a Congrats to you too :) They retained passports and all the other copies of documents I sumbmitted. They should be returned soon. I have to send the original AFP certificate because it didn't arrive on time (it was in the mailbox when I got back to QLD!)

Hi all My family was successful too. Pretty easy interview with a friendly CO. Only asked my highest education and why I want to move to the states. The CO was mainly having a friendly chat about food in the USA. I was expecting an interrogation and was worried about things that he didn't...

Also, while we are happy to go across to activate the green card, would it be ok if it took up to a year to officially move? I am worried about how long it could take to sell the house etc. I wish we could just make the move straight away without all this worry. Is it common for an...

Thank you britsimon I will not take this gamble. My husband will come to the interview. I wasn't sure if it would be ok to postpone or too risky for us and end up not being successful. I appreciate your reply.

Hey all I might have to reschedule my husbands interview due to work commitments on his part so I might be going to the interview by myself. Upon explaining that to my medical office, they have advised that I go to my interview without my own medical report, complete the interview and do the...

Yes @SusieQQQ my child is on the application too. Perhaps I am disqualified :( What a foolish thing to put on my application. When we did the quickie ceremony we were under the impression that nz law viewed anyone in a defacto relationship as the same as being married (property wise) and...

Thank you @SusieQQQ I guess I will proceed with the interview if its ever scheduled lol. Fingers crossed the CO will see it is a random error and will understand that my husband is not some random guy I met after the DV initial application. We have a child and have been together for over 14...

Thank you @Britsimon, susieqqq and Emily. I don't know how I can prove it was legal or has the benefits of being legal other that the fact we have been defacto for 14 years, have a 10 year old child and our whole lives together. I think my country would recognise it as legal because if we...

Does anyone know if I am able to edit my ds260? I have left out part of my education as I was waiting to get confirmation of dates etc. I can't seem to find an "edit" tab to add in more info. If I am unable to edit or add detail will the co be ok with me providing a transcript or certificate...

Hey everyone I was reading through another forum and read that families only pay the $330USD each after the green card is approved.... quoted below: " only primary applicant pay an application fee $330 before the interview. Family members will pay only if visa is approved" is this correct...

Good luck blonde!! I will keep an eye out for your experience :) Just a quick question, does anyone know if a child under 14 years old has to have the medical certificate or just a record of immunisations? Also does the child have to be at the interview? I read somewhere on this forum that...
