Boo I haven't got mine yet, I'm worried I'm going to get bumped to December. My CN is very low 400s and I submitted DS260 on 26 May so I thought I would have been safe. Kind of defeats the purpose of the Visa Bulletin if they can't manage the numbers in each current month.

Wow - both of you getting picked with low and relatively low CNs, that's pretty lucky! I'm wondering whether you've just decided to pursue the lower case number, or did you put two sets of DS260s in for both case numbers?

Wow it sounds like KCC is really struggling to process the DS260 forms. This makes me worried that interviews are going to keep being pushed back if they are already lagging behind...

I absolutely love Wholefoods, their salad bar and deli are brilliant. I agree that access to 'healthy food' varies depending on where you are living, for example LA has a lot of vegetarian friendly places to eat but down South it's all about the barbecue. I think the hardest part is avoiding the...

I think they get sent out over a couple of days, based on what people posted last month so yes, hopefully they start coming in soon. I'll be sure to post as soon as mine arrives!

Did anyone else on here go current for the last 2 months or are the Aussies all done for the 2014 DV? Just wondering if we have to wait until October to hear any more interview stories...

Don't forget lamingtons!

If you have a HECS debt, you should stay tuned to what the Abbot government is doing. Currently, you are required to pay your HECS through compulsory contributions based on how much you are earning (if you are working), if your earnings are over a certain threshold. This is taken out of your...

What did the letter say?

I am planning on moving end of January. I have been gearing up for the move for quite a while, having been originally selected for DV 2014. I have researched and picked out where I want to live down to the suburb! I will be selling up everything I can. I also have a mortgage which will be paid...

As soon as I get my 2NL I will be sure to post!

True that! Guess we'll have to wait and see...

I think it was reported a number of times for DV2014 that they only did the second Tuesday of the month, which might narrow it down even more for you.

Have a look into United as well - apparently they have a good reputation for pet travel. I'll most likely be taking my cat on them as I know people who work for them and they can vouch for how the animals are taken care of in transit (which is my biggest concern). At least going to the US it's...

So if you have have a solid professional job for the last 5 years and educational qualifications, you'll be less likely to be asked for back up proof than if you were say, an unemployed student?

Thanks for posting this - based on past experiences it seems like based on other people's reports of interview experiences at Sydney consulate that they don't really ask for financial information, but on the off chance that they do, I'm guessing it's better to be over-prepared than be put on AP...

Yes, we've been a hive of excitement on this thread - quite a few of us have gone current which you'll see if you read the last few pages of this thread. It changes from month to month and it's anyone's guess as to what the increment will be. Have a look at last year's VBs to see how...

Great, thanks so much Simon! My partner is a US Citizen and will definitely qualify for those requirements. I am financially stable but not sure I'll have a lot of 'cash in the bank' so to speak at the date of the interview, so I'd rather do the Affidavit just in case as it'll be relatively easy...

Thanks Simon! I doubt I would have been able to work that out on my own. It was not easy to find, but here it is for anyone else who is interested: http://www.uscis.gov/i-134.

When you put it like that, me getting selected 2/3 times and going current 3rd time makes me feel pretty lucky. I found some info about the I-864 Affidavit of support on the US website but it says they're mainly for family or employment based visas so does anyone know if this is this the...
