Thanks for the info. I have had the Aussie AMEX for 1 year and did a Global transfer for a US one. I called AMEX and they will be reporting the card on the 14th October. Based on the advice on here, this should give me a credit score in the 700's. We will get an additional credit card too so...

Thanks Simon, I appreciate your reply. We will get the extra credit card and hope AMEX report soon.

Thanks Susie :) So...I need one more piece of advice - Credit ratings, I've been trying to find info on this but haven't yet been successful... We had our Australian AMEX for 12 months and 2 weeks ago did a global transfer. We have received our new cards and all is well. We have a car that we...

What a year! Congratulations to OC2015, there were lots of us this year and I'm grateful for the advice on this forum. I really think the advice of those individuals made all the difference of some people getting their GreenCard. EMS, it's great to hear from you - what an adventure you have had...

We are trying! But the it's the humidity that's really unpleasant. We did know Texas was going to be hot but not this hot! And they say it's a mild Summer.

Huge congratulations!!!!!! I'm thrilled for you!!

I remember a long time ago now you gave me advice on Colorado. At least you can add layers but here there is no escape from the heat apart from staying indoors which is no fun.

I thought I would visit here to see how you are all going....Guestgulkan, I really hope your number will come up, fingers crossed for you. Our POE on 8 June was Honolulu and it was a very smooth process, we were the only ones so we were processed quickly. A very relaxing POE! 11 nights holiday...

For me driving was really hard and the couple of times I drove it was a struggle. When taking the rental car back to DFW airport, I almost caused an accident. Hubby did 20,000 miles towing a 34' RV so some people pick it up straight away. Will need lots of practice before taking the test...

We bought our one way tickets Melb - Honolulu just before Xmas for $320 ea. Couldn't pass on that price and we are flying Jetstar. Love the sound of one way tickets! When we entered via Honolulu last time on B1/B2 it was very relaxing with small queues and I think it would be a similar...

Our POE is also Honolulu on 8 June so I'll let you know how we go.

Deb I want to hear all about Colorado!! maybe on the FB page? They carry survival kits in their car when it snows heavily. Emily, I hope you are ok and your bite doesn't cause any major problems.

I hope you are right!! I wold love for your number to come up! Fingers crossed.

Wasn't the pee in a cup to test for syphilis?

Florida was okay, warm and very humid - we were there in August (travelling for nearly 8 months we couldn't get perfect weather everywhere). We went to Miami (we stayed in the tourist spots as there was no way I was going into the neighbourhoods). I actually forgot to pack our bathers so we...
