My hubby and I have our interview scheduled for mid-Jan
We had our medical exam done last week, and now it's just a matter of photocopying and compiling all the documents in the correct order!
The medical was pretty straight-forward - when my husband made the booking (he did it in person as he works around the corner) with George st Medical centre in Sydney, they gave him a letter with all the details including vaccinations required for the exam, so we took that to our GP and got them to check our vaccination immunity levels according to what was on the letter. Blood tests came back and we needed a booster for MMR which we did with our GP and got them to provide a letter with vaccination details along with blood test results for immunity levels. By the way, the government is giving immunisations for MMR for free as of this month for people under the age of 44! We had our shots done right at the end of Nov, so just missed out (cost about $50).
I also knew I needed a booster for DTP, but decided to have it done at the Medical examination instead. So, basically the exam was just a urine test, blood test for syphillis, and an all over general check with the doctor (we had Dr Rapparport, who is just lovely) plus a chest Xray. As far as I know, we're fit and healthy!
I'll let you all know how the interview goes! From what others have said, I can't see anything being an issue other than the fact that we got married after my husband was selected for the lotto. Our situation is a bit different in that we needed the marriage paperwork lodged in Australia, because the ceremony itself will be held overseas in a couple of months time, but hopefully they won't make a big deal of it, as we've been together for a long time and have loads of proof of relationship material, which we're bringing in. Photo albums, emails from day dot of our relationship, joint bank account details, engagement ring receipts, EVERYTHING to prove relationship legitimacy - can't hurt to be extra prepared!
After the 2NL, my husband let the consulate know that he had gotten married and they just said for me to fill out the DS 230 form and for him to re-do his and that they "look forward to processing our visa"!
