No worries, thanks for your reply. Might look at Shipito in addition to Escapees in Texas which is what we used when we were there last time.

Thanks Essey, hopefully we won't be at a hotel for more than a few days. We don't know anyone in the US so I might rejoin Escapees and get it sent to our mailing address. Just need to confirm if that's okay as I think I read somewhere it had to be a physical address.

Ours didn't come, hopefully tomorrow.

No they haven't come yet. Hoping they will come today.

Yes, there are LOTS of supermarket chains in the US. We bought lots of store cards home.

Thanks, we are very excited too. Just finalising our interview docs for Tuesday and I'm on the computer selling stuff tonight. It would be great for lots of the Class of DV2015 to go current too! I'm a little concerned about not having an address for our Greencard. We currently have our old...

Thanks for the info Esssey. Again they are inconsistent, I asked about the Vacc envelope and they didn't have a clue. I'm not going to open mine, especially with the tape and 'do not open' on it. I'm a bit worried about not having the medical record in either envelope. The instructions state...

I suppose you can work it out when you get there but at least you have the option. It's great you have a job already, I bet you can't wait to get over there!

Picked up our Medical packs from Medibank today. The big envelope was sealed and 'Do not Open' written across the tape. With those envelopes were another envelope with our vaccination details. I thought there was only one packet? Do they both get handed over at POE? The checklist states 'Medical...

This was a reply to Deb's post, my phone didnt quote the post: You are going to need somewhere to live before finding somewhere so I would still take it. I've researched long term hotels and there's one but its not cheap. You can rent a condo for 6 months rather than 12 and there are plenty of...

This is a tough one. I would contact the doctor to discuss. If she is shielded as they do, it may be ok. Not that long ago radiologists were always in the same room wearing lead aprons with constant exposure but they were not pregnant. When I travelled for work I carried a piece of lead like the...

That's a great offer, I would take it. Housing is expensive in CO, I've been tracking the market for houses to buy and condos to rent for almost 12 months now. It takes me nearly 2 hrs to commute to the Melbourne every day and I've been doing it for over 10 years. 17 mikes from Golden to Denver...

That's great you have something lined up, where are you planning on living? We are looking at Morrison, Evergreen or Golden but Evergreen may be too hard a drive for me. I'm hopeless driving over there! Golden has the light rail to Denver which would be handy. I'm looking at getting a job in...

Yes do that and then you will get the whole form to complete. You are on the right track!

Yes did it online as opposed to the Vic Police one which was State based. I'm not sure where the maiden name part is, have you been through the whole form?

# 33 immigration, it is the more comprehensive check and that's what we selected. The DV site states the check must state for immigration purposes and mentions # 33 I think. There was provision for maiden name on the form.

I'm a planner so need to research everything well ahead of time. We booked our tickets to Honolulu and the Big Island in Dec (departing Melb 8 June) and we need to get rid of our excess stuff. We won't start selling seriously until we have that Visa stamp. The worst thing that can happen if we...

That was our thinking too. Even though I received a response saying the State one was okay we are getting the Federal one too. Our interview is so close now, I'm getting the paperwork in order and making sure everything is done correctly. I'm more stressed about working out where to live. We...

Great news! I'm picking up mine Monday.

Just had a call from Medibank to let me know our packs are ready to pick up. That's good your Police check is done
