Oh my goodness!!!! We have our interview scheduled :D January 13 9am!!!!

Single digits!? WOW! That's more than "quite good"! :P

I imagine this time tomorrow @OC_EMS and @AimLK will both have green card approval :D good luck, I'm sure it will all go smoothly !!

Will be thinking of you guys Tuesday, and can't wait to hear back from you Hi Steve, welcome! Yes you can get your immunisations sorted before the medical, if you choose. I chose to get bloodwork done first, as I preferred to know what I already had, and get whatever I didn't with my local...

All true. :) But doesn't stop those occasional days where you just get really frustrated with not knowing :p But hey, it will happen, and I am making the most of enjoying the remaining time living in Melbourne, it will all work out in the end! I do still pinch myself now and then wondering how...

We wish we had submitted earlier as well- we could have done it directly after we got married mid June but we thought date of submission wouldnt impact that much(unless it was super late). Oh well! People will know for next year now :)

Haha I was about to say the exact same thing after reading kiwis comment! :p

I know that.. And I am thankful and aware that we are lucky we have a low CN and are current.. It just helps talking it out in the forum with people in the same situation. :)

Thanks :) Our form had finished processing at least by 10 October (according to an email I got from them) so I don't understand why we miss out on Jan interviews. No logic! I can't believe how much of a delay there is this year - isn't technology meant to make things easier ? :P

16th July.

Trying to stay positive about the delay..even though we wanted to get over to LA as soon as possible in the new year, perhaps we will use the delay to stay and save a bit more $$ and use it to fulfil some of our travel dreams through South America once we've moved and before we settle down and...

I just called them and they said ours has finished processing and the next step is to be scheduled an interview but we won't find out till 15-30 december! :( Which I suppose means we miss out on January interviews. Gahhhhhh. This is so frustrating :( I wish we could have anticipated that there...

Yes you have to apply for a police check from the State you currently live in - for Victoria it was as simple as going to their website, downloading the PDF form, filling it in, printing it and then getting it signed by an authorised person - I used a pharmacist, but you can also get it signed...

. No 2NLs yet ! :P guess it may be another late month!

The police check you receive from the state you currently live in DOES cover all of australia so you don't need to request one individually from other states or get a federal one. :)

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/if-you-are-selected/prepare-supporting-documents.html All the info you need is here, under police records and also under additional embassy info when you select sydney - a pdf opens with info on police check.

I'm not getting my hopes up about getting our 2NL this month but I hope you're right!! :)

Not yet .. I'm guessing 2NLs will come out around 24th like last month...I'm being surprisingly patient unlike last month and not thinking about it every hour :p I'm excited for you and OC_EMS - so soon!!!!

If you scroll to the right on Emily's spreadsheet, the data is there too.

I would say that with a low case number you're pretty much guaranteed to get approved unless there's something you're worried about -such as relying on work experience etc. that's how we are viewing it. There's no reason we won't get approved so we are living day to day as if we WILL be moving...
