I think you'd be better making the next trip a one-way final trip, as opposed to another short one. If you do decide to do another short trip, make sure your obligations are in order (i.e. that you've filed your taxes for 2016 at a minimum).

Agree with @Sm1smom. You need to remember that you are up against local candidates who may not require relocation at all. International relocation costs being met is highly unlikely, unless you are an absolutely outstanding find (internationally renowned, niche skill set, highly sought after)...

Congratulations @andrewDV17! Man, I love Tuesdays in OC-land. Everything you said is spot on: be organized, have more than you need, and remember that it's an administrative page turn versus an 'interview'.

It's $22o a person now. All applicants (principal and derivative) must enter the US to activate their visa before the expiry date noted on the visa. Fail to enter before that date and they lose their opportunity to get a green card. You can delay paying the Green Card until after you arrive...

I have a vested interest in making sure each OCer gets through. We've had a perfect record for a few years now. I want to keep that winning streak going LOL.

1) If it's on the checklist, take it. You don't want to be caught without it, even if they don't look at it. 2) Correct, if you are qualifying via high school 3) Take it anyway. Just in case they ask. I'd always err on the side of having too much and not needing it, than having too little...

As a lawful permanent resident, you can petition for a spouse that you are married to. That process takes two years. They have all the same rights as you do as an LPR. There is no other way to petition for a partner as an LPR other than via marriage. Honestly, you are better off marrying...

It's not just an odd thing. It's a unique thing. I don't know of another country that offers the Diversity Lottery or something like it.

I wouldn't unlock the DS260 for that. Just change the name during your interview.

Lucy, I was a 9XX myself. You're looking at an March/April/May interview time, based on previous years.

Some states won't recognize previous driving insurance history (i.e. North Carolina). For now, we are 16 year olds in terms of car insurance.

If 2000 goes current, I will host your party when you get here! If it doesn't, I'll still host on your next visit.

Yes you will have to disclose the DV. By submitting the DS260, you've indicated formally that you have intent to immigrate.

You get put on administrative processing until the consulate gets the medical.

You'll get to interview. KCC don't adjudicate. They just process the paperwork and do background checks. Crimes of moral turpitude is what is a problem. I don't think what you did falls into that category. There's been DVers convicted of assault who've gotten visas. I think you'll be fine...

@jaime_rz has the right advice. Watch the Visa Bulletin and see when your number is current. The 2NL will be there a few days later.

We had alot of countries too and it wasn't a problem. Having said that, the countries we were in were not known terrorist spots so, if you have those, it might take longer for them to do additional background checks.

What @SusieQQQ said about KCC. They can have an opinion but it won't carry any weight. The only opinion that matters is that of the CO.

Any industry that holds government contracts potentially has the same requirements.
