Hello everyone. Some great info here and I am going to be doing some catch up reading to get educated. There are a few questions on my mind and I fear I might ask a couple that have already been answered... But there are a lot of well informed people here so I am glad I found you… I’d love to get involved and introduce myself to the community and ask a few of those questions while I am at it...
I am in Melbourne. 2014OC000015xx is where I fall.
How confident about a call back should I be with a number in the 2014OC000015xx’s? I feel I am border line and looking at finding something out in March or October... Different resources are giving me different answers to that question!
Does anyone know how I best contact the KCC offices to confirm they received the paperwork I sent back to them a few months ago?
Also, any idea what the email address we hear back from might look like. I have a fear something will come in, be put in my junk folder and I will miss it somehow, even though I triple check... I noticed someone with a higher number than 15xx has listed that they have already heard back and paid fees. Good for them, but that confuses me on how the order of the number system works.
Wondering what everyones answer to the inevitable interview question of “So, why do you want to move to the USA?” will be…
Mine is “my girlfriend of 5 years strong is currently going for her o1 visa and our intentions are to set up in NYC, which we have visited and lived in for a good amount of time together, back and forth on tourist visas, subletting apartments, 3 months at a time... but obviously we are unable to reach our goals by doing this and can not work for profit either. So to make it worth it and allow her to realise her very realistic dreams, which are only attainable in NYC, we needed to get her a visa. And then I also needed a visa to make the move with her… So I applied for the DVL and here we are…”
But I am not so sure how that sounds to them… Any opinions?
And on a separate note, if her o1 is not granted on grounds of a lack of evidence, and I am called for an interview and successful, I have the intention of proposing at some stage to get us over there together and to push her forward in her career. An engagement would have happened anyway, but with the right timing… This opportunity might speed things up a little though.
Would we need to be married before the interview or after my interview and entry into the United States was successful? I have to do some research on how that would work and if its best to be married before the interview or after to get her along with me. I think I read somewhere that before the interview is best... Of course I didn’t send back my papers saying we were married or engaged as we are not, and concerned it draws a red flag if all of a sudden I am requesting an extra ticket. Is that something which may look suspicious if I am all of a sudden married? Even if its a well established, long running relationship? I will definitely be back here if I don’t find answers in previous postings but any advice would be fantastic.
Kind regards and have a great day!
