Dear macho....May I ask if your initial residence application for your family was rejected by Labor Dept? Only then do they invite for a personal interview. I want to know cause I am in a similar situation. If you let me know your visa designation, that would also give me vital clues. My wife is here on a visit and her residence was rejected even after my interview with Labor Dept. That was nearly 2 months ago. My company gave me a Technician Visa this year and put me in a lot of problems related to family residence. My wife had residence visa last year cause I had Engineer's visa then. My contract ended last year. This year I returned on a Technician Visa. Thanks a lot!
