Re: Warning...vent ahead

Hi Rachel,

I do sympathize. I’m also an Oz, but I’ve had permanent residency (i.e. a “green” card) in the US for some years now.

All I can say is that the wheels at Immigration do grind slowly, and it can be quite frustrating. I’m sure there must be method and logic at some level, but it’s very hard to discern from the outside!

Nevertheless, in the end all outcomes that were reasonably expected did take place for us. They are very particular about getting all of the prerequisites right, and checking all the boxes. And you must NEVER misrepresent yourself to them as they get very upset! So it’s actually good that you’re getting everything out in the open now.

Our final residency interview was hair-raising mostly because we felt going in that if the interviewer was having a bad day then we may be packing our bags – and that after several years of living here. But that turned out to be somewhat unfair to the interviewer, who was perfectly pleasant and helpful. Still scary though!

So patience unfortunately is the order of the day.

But on to the really important stuff: Eagles or Dockers?

Cheers,
Gerry
