I meant not their concern as in yes, they wouldn't be swayed by it, as it doesn't relate to them - vs having been a problem and significant diversion for me. That old post of Simon's just bubbled to my mind as my intended departure approached with this still hanging unresolved. Thank you both...

(Aging & for-several-months incapacitated parental issues during the year, hoping on another month being a final (after several years trying) shot at convincing / helping her to move out of a big, falling-apart suburban house into something manageable for the future. Not an excuse I'd think was...

Filing tax was another of the the things I was planning to do on the theoretical "establishing" trip to show evidence, yes* - as I understand it, with the Australian tax year ending in July, I won't have group certs and lodging paperwork for tax paid over here until then, and it'd be much safer...

I did have a squiz in there, but felt like a gatecrasher! It was lovely to be reminded of all the excited enthusiasm here back at "my" time, though.

I wondered how many pages the thread would have added since I last looked in, but it seems it ran aground just one post after I last visited! I guess the election was a surprise for more than a few of us... But I'm popping back to ask about how events this year may have affected this ^^ post of...

Thanks Susie and Simon!

Someone earlier in the thread, if I recall, said that the CD with their chest x-ray wasn't asked for at POE - is this a common experience? If, say, one's own isn't turning up in a search, would it be imperative to get a new copy burnt from the lab, rather than safely relying on the sealed...

Oh yes, I know I won't be getting the card, but I wondered / hoped that I might be able to be told the number itself on attendance at an office.

Oh sure, if you want to go the OBVIOUS route... So! if the SSN is getting created semi-automatically once I get processed at Customs, how long before I can get the number? Do I call the local Social Security office to find out if it's ready? I'm just doing a couple of days in Hawaii, but...

Doing my own activation hop to Hawaii week after next - does anyone know if there's a way for me to find out whether I ticked the "generate my SSN automatically" box way back when I applied, vs having to go and request one in an office? I don't remember - at the time I had no idea of the...

Hey all - I only posted a couple of times about ten months ago, but have been reading along during the year. My interview is on Tuesday in Sydney, and I just wanted to say thanks for the resource and advice and genial encouragement that the regular posters here provide. From all the reports, I'm...

Cheers, Simon.

Hi folks - another updating-the-260 question, and a travel one: I'm taking a redundancy this month (because I had the chance to now but not later), and planning to take some time off, then travel for a few months, and return to Sydney later in the year to get a time-filling job or two while I...

Thanks and aaargh, everyone!

Hi folks - new member here, from Sydney, with a 9xx number. Been reading various bits of these forums over the last few days, and very appreciative of the passive help you've provided. So, a question looking for some active help! On the DS-260, the form asks, following Current Employment...
