I think this is a great attitude. We do have some additional considerations though as we are probably due to start a family in the next couple of years. I'm not even sure if paid maternity leave is a thing in the U.S.? That and obviously there's a whole other host of reasons; health care, lack...

thought I'd check back in with all and let you know where we're at. We had the interview last Tuesday (just over a week ago) and even though we were put on AP (due to my medical arriving late) we received approval and our passports were delivered on Friday. Now it's a matter of us figuring out...

my husband (primary applicant) just got the email notification that the visa has been issued today. I assume that means both are on their way? Srsly, can't believe it.

We had our interview yesterday and we got a refusal (pending arrival/review of my medical records). Unfortunately we're on AP but that's fine, my guess is that we should hear back in the next week or two. The case officer said everything else looks fine so it's looking all good from our end. I...

Interview tomorrow... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

As far as I understand: 1) No clear plastic sleeves, carry them in one folder but then you'll need to remove them and have them all together, in order. 2) They advise this on the document instructions PDF 3) Either is fine? 4) Yes, self addressed. It will need to be up to 5kg for a family of...

Nevermind, found it.

hello... getting all our documents together, is it possible to reprint the D260 confirmation page if we don't have it? I've got mine printed but my husband can't find his (he is the primary applicant)

thank you :) My husband's police check has just arrived with one offence "Driving an unregistered vehicle" - he was fined $50. Will they still let us in the country? o_O

no they just said that the X-ray that is due to come from a different centre will take longer than 24 hours, but I spoke to the X-ray place and they said it will be ready by tomorrow and Sonic Health Plus will have it in their possession by then so I'm a bit confused as to why I can't pick it...

sitting in the waiting room for my medical. Apparently none of my results will be ready by the interview - (annoying, as I had called ahead to check this prior to booking and they said all would be fine) so looks like everything will be sent to consulate post my interview in Sydney on Tuesday...

What's AP stand for? If it's only a few extra days, definitely not phased, that's all good.

are there any hard and fast rules re timing of medical prior to interview? I'm having mine done this Thursday (in Melbourne) and then we have our interview in Sydney on Tuesday morning. I'm concerned they won't send my medical record to the consulate in time. Anyone had any trouble with this or...

We're not sure but probably SF or NYC. Both are expensive and I'm a bit concerned for both but we'll see how we go :) In terms of police certs mine came back in less than 24 hours but my husband's is still not here after a week and a half. Husband had his medical this week and I'll have mine...

I called Sonic Health Plus and they said it's generally the usual "measles, mumps, rubella" etc. If anyone knows anything additional to this, please shout.

hey peeps - just sorting out our vaccination records. What are the vaccinations they are specifically looking for? Is it measles/mumps/rubella and typhoid?

lol

can I move to America yet. Australia is making me sad face.

Ok so that's sorted. Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that.

FYI re police check the AFP are saying they are taking upwards to 25 working days this close to christmas so anyone with interviews in December I would get cracking now... If you don't have it ready by the time of interview what happens? Can you supply it later or not really?
