After a nail-biting couple of weeks, I saw today that my visa has been issued. :)

Thank you EmilyW. Everything is crossed. I did actually bring my Bachelors degree certificate from Australia, but the person checking the documents said that I also needed all the academic transcripts, which I did not have. They then said it was okay to show my Japanese Masters degree, but...

I had my interview here in Singapore last week and they have requested documents that would not have been necessary in Australia - including a letter from my employer (when i checked what I needed before my interview they did not say this was necessary). They also want to have all my degree...

Thank you EmilyW. I am happy about that as the fingerprint police check looks like it would take me a lot longer than the time I have.

Hi all. I am fortunate to get an interview September 1st in Singapore. I really wasn't sure if I would get it or not and my case number is so close to the cut off. Anyway, I didn't get my police certificate yet. I am overseas and so will need to apply as soon as possible but I wasn't sure if I...

The August numbers are nearly 150 off mine. Not looking good for me either this year.

Hello all and congratulations to all those who have been successful so far. I am still a little way off knowing if I will have an interview or not, but have a couple of questions. Did those of you who have had interviews show any proof of finances? Also, in terms of being asked in the interview...

Thanks Brisimon for your advice and for suggesting holding off until I had an address. Will try to get a police record here in Japan before I leave - I think they are valid for a year so hope that it's okay getting it a little before the interview. Would be a logistical and bureaucratic...

Hi All, some advice please. Currently I am an Australian based in Japan with a 2015 OC case number of 14XX with my interview location currently Tokyo. I have been offered a position in Singapore starting in April next year. I still plan on heading to the US, but considering that last year my...

I am hoping for that increase too. I am just on the wrong side of that 1450 number that an extra 150 would mean I would keep the faith for a little longer. As it stands though, it will be a long year and I guess we both won't know ourselves until next year around this time.

With a 2015 case number that is just over 1450, I am a little worried about my chances now - especially as I feel more people in Oceania will apply now that it is online based. I was hoping to have a year not worrying, but now I will be on edge.

Hi all. First time on this forum. I have a case number 2015 OC14XX. Here's hoping I get an interview sometime next year. I guess it depends on how many people apply this year with the new online form.
