    Hey Y'all! Just a quick update that I am back in good'ol Brooklyn town, but you know, this time I have a Greencard.. I haven't really been shouting things from the rooftop about it, but it feels so good to know that I am a free agent here and am no longer tied to my E3 visa. I was on my second...

    oh boy! I just received the checklist from the consulate and it says "DO NOT REPLY" then says it "Please immediately email our office to confirm if you can “attend” or if you wish to “cancel”. " So, what email address would that be?

    Hi Guys!! Starting to stress again... I got my Police check in March.. it says on the check "As at March 24th 2015". My Interview is August 28th. Should I do my police check again? How long are they considered valid? I literally have not been in Australia since January... so it obviously covers...

    Hi!! I know this has probably been covered before, but how long before the interview should one schedule their medical? My interview is 28th August. I got my 2NL two days ago so I have to leave the states pretty soon to have my medical. Happy to leave very soon and have a few weeks in AU. Work...

    Final Bulletin is out! I'm finally current, ( was shy of last month's by single digits!!) and Oceania had a healthy jump of 165, to reach 1490! A lot of people will be pleasantly surprised this morning! YAY!! I'm excited for those that thought it would hover around 1400... :)

    Hey Y'all! Great to hear some recent success with people on the forum! I have a question regarding the medical (apologies if this has been discussed). I currently live in NYC on the e3 Visa. I expect to go current and interview around August/September. I just read that I am not able to have...

    Hey Team! Congrats to all 2nl's for April- great news! How do we think processing times of DS-260 are tracking? is it safe to assume that there probably has not been much of an increase in speed? If any?

    As always, thanks Britsimon, To clarify my question, it's my understanding from users on the forum that case numbers that HAVE been processed in time were still being interviewed 1-2 months after they were current. My question is then: will a case number for example, current in August thats...

    Hello! Really enjoying following the discussions on the forum! nice work guys and congrats to those with the GC in hand. :) At the risk of flogging a dead horse, regarding the delay in the 2NL, I was wondering if anyone has concerns about this affecting higher case numbers in terms of the...

    Hello my fellow forum dwellers, I'm wondering if we have seen an increase in the processing times for the DS-260? It's fairly pertinent for my own case as I may have to delay submission of my form for 30/60/90 rule.. are the processing times back to tracking a lot faster now? I know they were...

    Wow. only an increase of 50 for January.. that's a little disappointing and almost unprecedented. Things leveling out a bit. Although I guess objectively its still a good pace.
