Well the ball is well and truly rolling now. I went for my Interview with the US Consulate today. You may wonder why i need a Visa, being an Australian. I generally don’t need one, but seeing as i am working in Canada, I need a visa for the US. Make sense of that! It has to be the first experience i have had get inside a consulate in Australia. I had to pass thru 2 scanning machines, 1 xray machine, 2 bullet/ explosive proof doors. and then talk to a lady behind a bullet proof window. It looked over the top, but you could see why it was so. There seems to be a fair bit of hate toward America today. I thought that it would be a bit unnerving going in on the 5th anniversary of the Trade Centre bombings. It felt like a normal day after it all. I got my finger prints taken, no ink either. Bit bummed about that!I would have liked the ink stain, but it was a laser thingo. I find out later on this week if i get the visa. Hopefully i do, i don’t see any problems. I did have to fill out another form that my sis didn’t have to do. It was only for guys aged between 19-26. Weird i know, but it only asked me to list my entire history, where i schooled, where i used to work, where i used to do anything. I didn’t enjoy that form, it was just to much information. I’m not even working in the US for god’s sake! Grr!! Anyhow that is over now hopefully you will hear more good news soon on it!
