Yay Blondie! Finally, a date!

SydSteve, I will add you to our list when I get home tonight.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Fantastic news Blondie!!!! I checked and no 2NL for us.

Thanks you
Oh damn I was hoping you would've got yours too. Next month for sure. I am actually surprised we did as we got told over the phone we wouldn't!

super happy! But now it feels all very real and we need to figure out a real timeline and when we will actually make the move !

 

[EmilyW]

At least you can start planning and getting things in order. And it's some certainty - even if it's certainty of a date - so you have light at the end of the dark DV tunnel.

Precisely! Much easier to plan with a confirmed date

I don't believe it! Our 2NL came over night,interview is on January 13th at 7.45 am!!

 

[AussieGemma]

Wow that's early, congrats!!

 

[EmilyW]

Congrats CCHessie!

Gemma, check again. To quote the great philosophers, Kath and Kim, I can feel your 2NL in my waters.

 

[CCHessie]

Wow that's early, congrats!!

Thank You! I'm wondering if we got the early time slot because we have an infant? Maybe they want to get us in and out asap...just a thought.
I'm sure you'll get your 2NL anytime...I mean if you're <650 and only submitted your application 2 days after we did it's got to be coming very soon!!
Hoping so for your sake!!

I'd love a 7.45am start - have a Maccas breakfast to celebrate afterwards with the kids!

 

[AussieGemma]

Thanks everyone...I've checked twice today, and will check again in the morning and also give them a call. So let me get this straight, I log onto using my 2015.........number not case number. Usually the letter is there , 'you have been selected for further processing...' But if the interview date is there it will override the original notification? Where does the letter go? Just don't want to miss it if it is there and I should have clicked on something...sounding paranoid now!

Yup log on with your original entry confirmation number and if you've been scheduled it will now have a different page/letter (not the original "you've been selected" one)
The first part will look like this then the sydney consulates address and your interview date

 

[AussieGemma]

Thanks, thought that may be the case but glad you confirmed....will just keep checking!

If approved, it's likely we will be washing breakfast down with a bottle of champagne!!

Aren't we waiting to hear about EMS and Aim?

Yeah I think so Simon. Decided to fly out to LAX 8 days before my visa expires, no issues there right? Makes me nervous tho.

Yeah that is cutting it fine if you have a flight cancellation - however, if you get there the day before the expiry you should be ok....

I've been checking back here at work every half hour or so for news from them. Don't tell my boss...
