The 10th would be great! This VB is a big one for us, with a 400 start, I really want to know what the next number will be.

I'm counting down the days to the 15th for the next bulletin but it would be better if it was earlier!

Hubby and I have been having our vaccinations, not cheap at $77 for Boostrix (Pertussis, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio) and $77 for Twinrix (Hep A & B) which we need 3 of. Make sure you start the Hep ones early cause you need one then one a month later then one 5 months later. There is a shorter...

Thanks Nzangeleyes, I wasn't 100% sure if I had to do the fingerprint check.

Police check certificates are valid for 12 months. Re the finger print check, DV2014 thread found out that if your name has changed you will need to get the finger print check - I have married and changed my name so I will be doing this just to be sure. Hubby will do the name only check.

Here are some answers to your questions cj27 Hi everyone :) Congrats to all selectees! It has been a long time dream to move to the USA! I am just getting some info on the documents and police reports etc. I am a New Zealander living in QLD. How do I get a NZ police report while I am in...

I thought the interviews were held on the second Tues in the month...but they wouldn't be able to get many done in the one day? Re the Vaccinations, we had blood tests done by our GP and are in the process of getting them all now. Just easier to them done now than wait for the Medical. Re the...

Thanks for updating your list Emily. I'm looking forward next months bulletin, there is a possibility of our Interview in Dec based on all the previous years stats.

Emily, I know exactly how you were feeling. Well done on submitting the forms! Is it a relief to have submitted them? I know it was for me.

DS-260 forms done!! Very happy they are finally submitted. Had to wait for kids new passports and probably checked the forms about 15 times - took many hours to complete, now it's back to waiting for an interview and of course planning, planning and more planning....

Thank you!! That makes sense, I'll try again and hopefully submit this weekend.

Has anyone had trouble with the DS-260 form? Twice I have entered previous work experience and schooling and when I go back into the form the information is gone. I was very careful to save after each entry. Frustrating to do it again, but I'm most worried about the info disappearing when I...

It's Bryce Canyon, Utah one of the National Parks we visited. I liked Bryce and Zion better than Grand Canyon although it was a chilly -14 c when we were there. Here's hoping for a better DV this year with your number, it could be close and fingers crossed you will make it

We are planning a month long trip from home to WA across the Nullarbor and back via Alice just before departing. That and kids Aust/USA schooling a Feb interview would be perfect. Also we are planning on living in Colorado and arriving in Winter would be too much!

Thanks for the link, the travel history only goes back 5 years. Will have to work out who to call to get the dates. Kids passports arrived today so I can get the DS-260 forms submitted. I am feeling really bad for the 2014 selectees that missed out, such a shame after waiting for so long and not...

I'm really sorry that so many of you have missed out. It just doesn't seem fair. Hopefully you will still get there one day soon x

I'm in SE Melbourne. You should be over with your family in no time! I'm taking my time with the DS260 too as I want it to be 100% correct. Can't find my old passport so will need to ring US Embassy Canberra? for the dates of when I visited in the US in 1990.

We already ordered and received my husbands HSC and have just started on our vaccinations. Just waiting on our kids passports to arrive, I didn't realise they had expired - then we can submit the DS-260 forms. I spent hours going through the DV 2014 Australia thread and wrote down everything we...

Thanks Emily, great to see who is around and where we all fit :) I love my lists too - I have many for the DV preparation!!

I'm going to apply for an AMEX as per the advice on here. No don't have a SSN because I'm an Australian and don't have a Greencard yet.
