    Hi team! Me again. I'm all activated as of Feb 12 and planning to head to NYC in August. I have a query about my SSN that I couldn't find in previous posts; I understand that the GC and the SSN get sent separately and my friend who lives in the US and is collecting my mail has received my GC but...

    Hi all! I hope you all had excellent breaks over Christmas and New Years. I'm heading to SF to activate in Feb (and to have a holiday!) and I just wanted to ask about the SSN and the green card delivery and about credit ratings, as per usual, I'm sure this has been answered but I wasn't able...

He asked me 'Had I lived anywhere outside Australia?' No. 'Where are you hoping to live?' New York. Done!! Congratulations your...

    Thanks for that @EmilyW really appreciate it! Congrats on getting your greencards today as well! How exciting :D I did have another couple of questions for anyone willing to answer them: 1. While I have the money in the bank has anyone actually been asked to show anything regarding financials...

    Hi guys, just wanted to ask if you think I need to take a copy of my university certificate or is the transcript enough? Cheers!

    Hi guys, I'm yet to receive an email from the Sydney consulate regarding the checklist of documents... does this sound normal? Should I receive an email? I have the checklists that were in @EmilyW dropbox file but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing out on anything. My interview...

    Hi team! I think this has been covered but I just needed to sanity check with you :) In regards to the police certificate, can I just get the police certificate without finger prints as I've lived in Australia my whole life? Or do I need to get the fingerprint one? This is what is listed on the...

    Hi guys! I just wanted to check now that my number is current do I just need to keep checking the CEAC 'DS260 Application page' and wait for an email? I can't seem to access the 'Check my visa application status' page with my case number... I'm sorry I'm sure this has been covered previously but...

    Oh my wordy lordy! I went to bed late last night and thought "hmm maybe I'll check out the forum quickly before I go to sleep" - As you can imagine I spent most of the night hyperventilating (with excitement)! Absolutely heart broken for the people that didn't make it through! I'd resigned...
