Hello folks - long time. Actually I should be in the 2015 forum but anyway. I have a question for all you experts. I still haven't made the big move. I'm in the middle of my "one year to move" period, but I was thinking of something. I've noticed that time spent outside of the USA for 6...

Denver is a paradise on Earth. Houses: Cheap and big Schools: Excellent (make sure you buy a house in the right school district) Jobs: Lots of jobs there at the moment Weather: Well, it can get cold and snowy in winter

Hello All, I'm back from my USA mega-trip. As mentioned earlier, we activated in Hawaii, flew to SFO, then Denver and drove back to LA via Vegas and Salt Lake. Fun! Activation in Hawaii was pretty easy. I declared myself to the first officer in the hall and he pointed me to the dimly-lit far...

Is it drug related? If so could be a problem.

My activation trip is coming up next week. Does that make me the last OC2015 to activate? Really excited. Activating in Hawaii then travelling on to SFO and DEN. I'll make sure to update everyone on how I go with immigration!

I bought my pre-paid sim card from TravelSimsDirect The H2O card (AT&T re-seller) for $49 looked good but 500MB wasn't going to handle my wife's instagram addiction so I went for t-mobile with 3GB of data for $1 more.

This is perfect - thanks!

btw Have you got any tips for good places to see in the Honolulu area?

If a CO is pondering someone's finances or employability, dressing poorly could push a 50/50 call in the wrong direction. I think it's better to dress-up to fractionally improve your chances.

Make sure it's the full name check. Name check 33 is the one I think.

I see Jetstar have some cheap Hawaii deals on now. Feeling disappointed in myself because I could have bought my tickets $300 cheaper. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/229902

Hey Arry. Looks like we'll be in SFO around the same time. SSN and Greencard are sent separately. You need a good credit rating in the USA. They sometimes use it for checking tenant applications, buying a phone on a plan, job applications, everything.. There are other credit options such as...

All these Hawaii stories are great because that's where I'm activating before heading east. I guess everyone is booking that cheap Jetstar flight to Honolulu right?

Immediately, but you kind of need your social number to fill in the paperwork.

Last year's cutoff for Asia was 7650 so you aren't safe. However in previous years you would have been in easily. Let's say 50-50.

We'll be in Hawaii at the same time :-)

Congratulations LD!!

Yeh Canada.. it's nice, but.. it kinda sucks. It's cold and boring. imho most immigrants who move to Canada would prefer the USA, but they take Canada as their plan B. It's USA-lite.

Less than a week for me.
