I know exactly where you're coming from, I was the same, but you will be fine and after the interview will wonder why you were worried. The interview is not really an interview it's more of a chat. The only question they asked us was " When do you plan to enter the US?" :-)

Good luck CC1, but you wont need it. Exciting times ahead :-)

Hi Simon, I didn't question the CO, but I did ask the lady at the Consulate who took our paperwork and they told us "probably not". Guess we are really lucky I won this year :-)

Enjoy the moment, it's a surreal experience. I fealt a huge sense of relief after the interview. To be honest the interview itself was very relaxed and the CO mainly focussed on getting our fingerprints and declaration recorded.

Hi chch_james, wow, so you partner was interviewed on the 2 Oct? What time was he there, we arrived at 8.20and were gone by 9.30am. Our passport and pack arrived on the Monday morning, were currently on our way back to Perth to pack up and fly to SFO early 2015. I must agree the Auckland...

Yes I did take my old passports but they didn't ask for them. One tip for people going to the Auckland Consulate make sure you take cash to pay the fee.

Bloody spell check...I meant Norcal not Normal, and both not bother

Ok, finally back to earth now so will share my experience. The Auckland consulate sent me the medical forms a couple of weeks before our interview so we made our appointment soon after. They told me it would take 3 days to get the results through to the consulate so made the appointment for...

NZ have done DV interviews for at least the last 4 years that I know of. Incidentally no one that had their interviews in AK were denied last year

Yes, had our interview today in Auckland, all went well. Will post details of the interview when I come back down to earth!

No its not because I didnt do 7th form year or sit bursary.

And you say NZ's are slow....hahahahaha

Sorry, here is the link http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/results-2/secondary-school-qualifications-prior-to-2002/

This link might help, it explains the differencies between the different certificates and scoring details. It also contains the form to fill in to get a Certified Statement of National School Qualifications Results, which will surffice.

We plan on fly to SFO in mid to late Jan, the fares dont seem to be to bad as we expected to pay more because it's a one way ticket. :-)

My University Entrance certificate came from the NZQA and I gained that back in 1982. The Auckland consulate told me that was fine.

You'll be fine :-)

Thanks Simon. Good for you. You will have a blast and meet some really neat people along the way. We have a few contacts over there in the Hot Rodding scene, so if you need any advise and or help just let me know. Simon, we feel very blessed but I believe things happen for a reason and we are...

Everything comes to he who waits. My hubby would probably have missed out in 2014, but I was confident I would win in 2015, and I did, so we cancelled his appointment. Never give up hope. :-)

Yes, seems like it, however Auckland said they couldn't post them out because they only had the names of the selectees but no addresses. Apparently they wont get the addresses from KCC till after 1 October which is no good for me. They posted the paperwork to me early only because I had...
