    DS260 processing time for someone who already has an SSN and A#

    I have 4 different police certificates and none have a passport number. Think about it - do all Senegalese have a passport? Probably not. So why would they put a passport number on a police certificate?

    Don't they give you a check card? (debit card) At US Bank there are a few ways to dodge fees. I setup autopay to my credit card that I never use.

    I'm not sure you can get turned down for a secured card? It might also be useful if you check the creditboards forums (like here but for credit). They often discuss credit card companies that do a "soft" rather than "hard" credit check.

    Did your wife graduate from an actual US high school? IMHO If your wife has an american high school certificate they'll happily accept it.

    @Britsimon 's advice is good. Your credit rating is something that needs to be nurtured carefully in the USA. Firstbank of Colorado gave me a $500 unsecured credit card when I had no credit history. You can try them. They eventually raised it to $2,500. Capital One is a good supplier of...

    I don't really understand what you mean by "For Nov and Dec I would have an income in Australia with no taxes on it". imho the IRS will tax you for the entire of 2015. My knowledge of international tax is limited to this: You fill out your US tax using all your Australian financial...

    DV2016 interview experience & 2NL

    They only know as much as any normal person reading the information. Save your money. 1- Yes you only need them for the interview. I'd start gathering a few of the tricky ones now. Not police certificates though. They normally have an expiration date. 2- Probably yes. Read the rules...

    Get rid of the lawyer. They know nothing about DV. This forum is far superior and comprises the experiences of thousands of successful applicants. And it's free. It's a postal address for receiving your Greencard. You don't need to live there. Just think of anyone you know in the USA...

    Dumb question of the day - do the photos need to be pre-cut or are they ok in a grid the way you get them?

    Can some successful interviewees can help with a couple of questions about photos? Anzac Square medical in Brisbane told me to bring "6 Australian size passport photos". Is that an error, did they mean American? Also the email from the consulate says to bring one US sized passport photo...
