    First up ... congratulations. Next, iff you've completed year 12, you're qualified for the DV process. The "qualifying job" bit is only if you haven't completed Yr 12. With regards to the vaccinations - the panel doctor will get a blood test done to see what jabs you need to get.

    It's not the actual driving that's hard, it's the awareness of other people driving on the "wrong" side of the road. As the say in US driving school ... "Death comes from the Left" (e.g. at intersections, etc).

    Fingers crossed for you @guestgulkan . I'm sure you'll get there though with a couple of months left to go.

    Will your thesis also contain a section on the permanence of non-winners. Perhaps also consider covering the area of "the annoyance factor of 'whim' entries on serious long time entrants"

    For me, a work transfer means CA, TX or NY. CA is studiply expensive, NY is do-able for us, whereas TX would grant us quite a comfortable life (theoretically). A work transfer is very desirable for me, as I'd prefer to have a job to go to, as opposed to having to spend the first month or so...

    Apparently, the Plano ISD is one of the better schooling districts in the country. Convenient if you're looking to live / work in the DFW area.

    If the region goes CURRENT, check on the DVLottery ESC page again. It will get updated with your scheduled interview date.

    You would need to get AU citizenship. Country of birth does not affect eligibility, only citizenship.

    That's why I'm so glad, as a Australian, that I have the E-3 option. H1B seems a LOT of work and orchestration.

    How I WISH that was true. Sadly, a lot more Australians didn't get selected (including a lot of regulars on this forum) than did - just like every other country.
