I don't know. We were getting off the plane and asked if we could throw it out and the hostess said no, we could throw it out in immigration. So he held his sick bag until immigration. That was a sh*te Qantas flight generally. Two false starts on the runway. Almost non-existent service. And...

And, personally, I would not volunteer the information at interview. If they ask, explain. If they don't, stay silent.

No point in having it without using it. Use it and pay it off. Part of your credit score is utilization and paying it off.

If you transiting, there will be Qantas staff who can give you an express pass. Make sure your envelope is visible because the staff can push you through to a quicker queue. Last time we came in, we bypassed all the queues because our younger son was sick and holding his sick bag (Qantas...

I wouldn't say America is merciless. What Americans have is an expectation that you won't need the government to help you: that you have enough brains, hustle and determination to make your own way in life without relying on a government nanny state who pays for you but quietly erodes your...

Short answer: tough. Recruiters naturally prefer people who are in the country and can attend interviews. And they are usually spoilt for choice locally, so they see little merit in pursuing a candidate who isn't in the country when they can interview an equally qualified person face to face...

I'm not sure if you can without an address of some sort. We just used my brother's.

The photo requirement is used to confirm identity and to prevent human trafficking, which is a big problem. As we all come to know in life, if you can't meet the requirements / obligations of something, you may not be successful. It's not the system's fault the OP was unable to comply with...

Yep, you can amend your DS260 and she will have to have her own DS260. One thing to keep in mind is that, if the KCC schedule your interview before you submit the DS260 for your wife, you won't be able to add her on to your case electronically. Given your low case number, and the likelihood...

Yes, plenty of people get married before the interview. So long as it's a bonafide relationship, it's fine. Get married. Add her as a beneficiary and create her own DS260. You'll only be interviewed - at the earliest and depending on when you submit the DS260 - October so there's plenty of time.

@ICLIN, there is no leniency on this mistake. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Diversity-Visa/DV-Instructions-Translations/DV-2018-Instructions-Translations/DV-2018%20Instructions%20English.pdf The 'will' is the important part. Your entry will be disqualified.

It really will depend where you want to live. NYC? Take alot. Charlotte (where I am)? Not so much. You will need to factor in car rental (if you're not relying on public transport), paying a few months rent in advance (some landlords will request this given the absence of a credit history)...

You can start looking for jobs without a SSN. You just won't get paid without an SSN. But you can look. You also don't need the GCs to look for work. The stamp in your passport is sufficient.

It's easier to qualify on education than O*net.

@carolineelle, this might help in knowing what is on the DS260. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/DS-260%20Exemplar.pdf @SusieQQQ gives some good advice here. Take a moment (or 3-4 hours) and plan out your strategy. We're always here to help you. :-)

1300 should be fine, but it will be later next year that you'll interview.

She usually comes onto the forum when she has questions: she isn't here regularly.

1) Too early for police checks. Wait for your interview date and get them then. 2) You will need proof of immunizations, otherwise the panel doctor will administer them and that can get expensive. You can get an antibodies report (we did) which we were able to give to our panel doctor. 3) You...

That should be fine so long as you maintain your obligations as a permanent resident (such as filing taxes). I'd also open a bank account including a secured credit card, use the card and pay it off. When you come back, I'd make sure it was a one way ticket and that you don't leave again for...

You didn't need to get the fingerprint check (the name check is fine so long as it includes all known names). Having said that, the reciprocity page from state.gov says 'Australian Federal Police certificates based on fingerprints are preferred, but a certificate not based on fingerprints is...
