Good write up. And I've noticed this about America/Americans in general, that they do work harder and seem to enjoy it more so than what we do in Australia. That's a big reason why I want to live/work in the US since I do enjoy working hard, especially at a company where I can gain a lot of...

^^Yes, definitely. Thanks Simon.

Interesting. Since I'd elect to charge to my spouses country of birth (OC), would it be a problem when submitting/documents/interview (assuming we won), that I was originally born in a country that is still valid for the DV? In just about all the instances I've seen of spouses electing to charge...

No, sorry I should have been more clear. I applied from my country of birth/Europe, I just mentioned that I've grown up in Australia, hence why I'm posting in this thread. In any case, if I did apply as from Australia/OC, and suppose I was selected, I would have been rejected when having to...

Thanks Simon/MissM88, it was my phone's internet connection. Unfortunately I wasn't selected :/ Another stab of disappointment...3rd time applying (14, 15, 16). Though I am applying from Europe since I was born there, but have grown up in Australia since a little kid. Looks like it's another DV...

For some reason I thought the results came out today (5th in the US, 6th in Aus), but now I can't access the entrant information page :/ keeps on timing out...might be my connection.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I think they just say that as a requirement, just in case you've undergone some sort of major transformation in appearance within the past year.

Hi Steph. Just wondering if you could describe how you went about in obtaining your E3 visa to begin with? I'm currently looking into this myself as the only other avenue of getting to the US (DV and marriage being the unlikely others).

hahaha nice one :D but hey, if it happens then great ;)

No, not married at all! Now that you mention it though it might be something to consider hehe Thanks.

Unfortunately for me I was born in Europe! :/ Grown up here though so I may as well have been born here hehe I was in the US earlier this year June/July, first time ever, went to LA, SF, Charlotte, DC and NYC. It only reaffirmed my desire to move there :) Otherwise I'm currently looking into...

Congratulations guestgulkan, from another fellow Brisbanite :) 3rd time entering for me this coming month...fingers crossed :)

Yep! Good point...you aren't actually a winner unless you get a comfortable CN :p Thanks for the link Simon. It would be nice to think that it means you're Selected, but I'm just going to assume it's the odd glitch, like what happened last year. It's just too exciting to think "Well, the...

I also get session timeout...this is unnerving. I'm going to assume I haven't been selected; best bet rather than getting my hopes up. I'll check again in a few days anyway.

Didn't know that a president couldn't pass a bill into law via executive power. Thanks for clarifying that.
