    Hi guys, A bit of a funny question. Please let me know if I should post this elsewhere (but I have searched all the threads and haven't found the answer yet). I've just realised that the address I provided at POE for my green card had the wrong postcode attached to it. I called USCIS, who...

    Wow yeah that's nuts... that's the one thing about moving to the US that makes me nervous. Policy has been taken out now, so should all be OK :) I hope your wife is OK now and sorry to hear you still had to pay so much!

    Sure thing. It's $223.75 for 3 months with a policy limit up to $500,000 and $0 deductible, but there are cheaper options too. I'm 25 and single. The plan will be to take out ACA compliant insurance once I get a job, but you can cancel the short time coverage at any time and they refund you the...

    Thank you for the info!! Am I correct in thinking you would need interim US health insurance as travel insurance wouldn't be applicable given you're immigrating? A lot of them ask for country of residence too.. which right now is Aus but as of March 14 will be the US. I think I read that you...

    Hello all! I'm due to enter the US on March 14... eek! Just wondering what you guys did about travel/health insurance given there's no return date for the trip? Is it possible to still take out travel insurance to ensure you're covered in the interim? Thanks!

    Oop another question. These flights have a 2 hour 20 minute layover in LAX. From experience, do you think that's enough time to get through immigration?

    Hello all, Just preparing for the big NYC move in March (eek!) and had a question. My work is having a corporate deal on international return flights at the moment, meaning a return fare is much cheaper than a one way (by about $600!). Do you forsee any negative consequences in buying a return...

    Hi all, I went for my interview this morning and it was the easiest thing ever, even easier than my J1. They checked off my docs and my interview consisted of them asking me whether I was a student or working in New York on my J1 (very conversational) and what I do for work in Australia. I had...

    Thank you so much for all this!! I'll definitely be taking on your advice and bringing that stuff in support. Although guaranteed they don't ask, better to be prepared!! Best of luck with your interview too, excited to hear the outcome on Tuesday :)

    Thanks for this! I don't think I look young and penniless haha I could make the 10 G requirement but I have kinda a bit of money getting back paid to me from work that won't come in on time. I have pretty good work experience. Is the 10,000 a guideline, does the consulate specify how much you...

    Oh and I also forgot to ask.... It says to print out your DS 260 confirmation which will show your photo. Mine doesn't is that OK? And do I need to create an online account before going to Sydney? I read something about that.... Also can't access my 2NL online to print but I'm guessing it's...

    Hello all, Less than one week to go until the interview and I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you may be able to help me with... First - I selected Code 33 for the AFP check and that's all fine. Just wondering if there are any other little nuances like that to watch out for? When I...
