Was able to set up a savings account and cheque account with the Bank of America yesterday. Easy peasy and the app is really good too. US bank wasn’t interested in letting me open one till I was a resident for 90 days.
Hi Doug
I didn’t cut mine, I didn’t want to screw them up in case I cut them wrong.
You will be allowed up a maximum of 30 mins prior to interview time.
Good luck!
Sorry for any misunderstanding I do have the visa printed in my passport like everyone else. It was the woman at the kiosk that kept saying that I didn’t have a visa.
When I went to the kiosk to scan my passport the options were citizen, lpr, esta etc I didn’t know if lpr applied to me yet as...
The machine was for citizens lpr esta etc. as I hadn’t activated mine yet I didn’t know if it would scan. She just said go to the back of the line seeing as how I didn’t have a visa.
*sidenote. The officer didn’t open the packet or check that my address was still good which it is by the way. He did stamp my passport though and write DV1 in it so that’s good.
Hi Guys
So did my activation trip yesterday via LAX and phew it was crazy but it’s done now #cheers
Activation Trip Report
Arrived in Lax via Brisbane at 17:20 yesterday afternoon. Flight was great aside from me not sleeping. We have to wait on the tarmac for our gate to clear as the plane...
I’m off to the USA this week for my activation trip. Fees paid and documents checked 11ty billion times. Will let y’all know how it goes. It’s been a long process and I’ll always be eternally grateful for the help and friendships I’ve made via this forum.
Question
Is it possible to do an activation trip and then leave and while back in Australia pay for the green card to be issued? Would it be an issue when leaving or returning in a month?
When you say immigration fee are you taking about the $330 you paid when you got interviewed or the fee you pay after having your visa issued but prior to activation trip ($220)
