    DV 2016 OC Selectees

    Like I mentioned a page or two back. Just ignore the weirdness in the USTravelDocs website and fill it in as best you can. They know it doesn't make sense. It auto-populates their systems somehow plus helps them with email lists and communication. It's not the DS-260 so you're not going to...

    Picture older than 6 months - disqualified?

    Don't listen to Susie guys. I'm much too mature to do something like that! Here's the photo. Can you help me make sure it meets the submission guidelines? Thanks!

    I can confirm that the Brisbane medical doesn't perform a "hooha test" ;) You need to get down to your undies though. My wife wore a sports bra and undies that looked kinda like pants. She looked like she was going to the gym. Anzac Square Medical are fairly sensitive to women. I lay on the...

    DV 2016 OC Selectees

    It'll end up costing more as they add the vaccination cost and a few fees. The Brisbane Medical is kinda funny. They don't have a toilet so you have to walk around the lobby of the 5 star sofitel hotel carrying your urine sample. I started writing a big story about my Brisbane medical...

    DV 2016 OC Selectees

    Hi LD, The USATravelDocs website is really confusing. I think by creating a profile it saves the consular official from having to type some details and makes group emails easy. Only create a profile for the principle. I remember I filled in some pages and added Mrs Gulkan as a dependent...

    I'm entering DV again this year. Can you guys check my photo? Thanks. I think it's not showing my shoulders and it should?

    As I mentioned in my interview report, I also saw someone get accepted with the "Unspent Offences" Police Check 35. I'm surprised since you could use this to hide a few issues.

    but 33 is the complete check? So I'm not sure why he was stressed, unless he mis-typed 33 and 35.

    33 is the correct one, not 35?

    You need to perform some calming mental exercises. Breathe deeply. Think "this is just a formality " "it's going to be so boring " etc

    I picked K fiance visa I think. Really they just want your information pre-entered in their computer so don't worry about the visa and just enter all your details.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    Amex used your Australian history to give you a credit card but the US credit reporting agencies (Transunion, Equifax, Experian) will only see one month and imho won't give a credit score yet. Good thing about a "thin file" is no negatives, bad thing is no history and average credit card age is...

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    Hi Aussie Gemma. You don't get a credit score until your credit history is six months / one year. Also the -real- credit score is the FICO score, the others aren't used by anyone. Your first credit score will suck. Probably be 600 which isn't good. 700-800+ is where it's at. 400-500 is...

    DV Lottery 2017 - Questions

    Actually the dv lottery Wikipedia page used to have a list of selection probabilities but it's gone now. A pity as it was really good. I have some good news. Fiji is in Oceania which has the highest probability in the world. Around 5%. The rest of the world is 1%ish or less.
