Yeap, mine is exactly the same. Did anyone get the instructions posted to them from the Consulate? It contained the medical forms etc......

Yeah, that is different to what I got. I had percentage marks and a comment down the bottom (Qualified to University Entrance). Ringing or emailing NZQA would be a good idea :-)

Did you get a sixth form cerfiticate? I think you needed to pass 3 subjects to get this.

Yes, it sure is :-) The consulate have asked for the form, passport photos, passport photocopy of descriptive page, together with originals and one copy of ALL OTHER PERSONAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED, for review. They only ask you to bring passports with 8 months validity and any recent expired...

The Auckland consulate sent it to me as part of a package, along with medical forms and instructions. The form asks for your address in the US and asks you to attach a photocopy of passports and two passport photos. It may be unique to NZ perhaps?

Yeah mine was exactly the same. I've also just received instruction from the Consulate in Auckland and it states we must supply "Evidence of your funds/assets and CV/Resume to enable you to support yourself in the US". Also we need to fill out and return a ACK/IV/p4i form, photos, copy of...

Oh goodie. What supermarket was the Vegemite in Simon, and how much was it? We are thinking of bringing a box full in our container. :-)

We're going to ship most of our household items to California. Most of our stuff if pretty new and hubby has lots of garage/car stuff, tools, engines etc. Our friends that made the move to the US a few years ago wished they had bought more so we're taking their advise. The cost from WA for a...

I'm going to take a bank statement along, just in case. I think it's better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it!

The Auckland consulate have just replied regarding copies of qualifications - "Yes, a document from NZQA will be fine." They also said "When KCC advises us of cases for a specific month, we mail out an instruction letter and medical forms to each applicant. This should be about 6 weeks prior...

I've sent an email to the Consulate in Auckland asking this very question, and will let you know what they say.

Haha, California is where hot rodding started and there wouldnt be a day goes by when you wouldnt see one driving around somewhere over there. Good Guys have a large car show at Pleasanton, this weekend I think, you should go along and take a look. California is heaven for car lovers! :-)

Yes CC1, there are a few of us Kiwi girls heading over this year. We plan on living in Tracy, Northern California, as my hubby has a job as Production Manager for a packing company there. His salary will be exactly the same as he gets in Aussie. I think the cost of living in California is...

Thanks OC_EMS, looks like we'll be going to Auckland then!

I've contacted a Doctor in Auckland and they allow 3 working days to complete the visa medical, so will get them done on the Monday morning and have the interview on the Thursday morning. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get our passports back. I was thinking about a week, which would be...

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Simon, I just called the KCC and I will need to contact the Auckland and Sydney embassy to see if we can do our medical's in Australia. We have them booked for next Thursday, so will need to get the sorted first thing Monday morning :-)

You said it Simon! I'll ring the Auckland Consulate on Monday and check to see how long they will have our passports. Might just mean a longer holiday!

I think it is my fault as on the DS260 it shows the present address listed as Bunbury, Western Australia, 6230, New Zealand, instead of Australia. I must have missed the error before submitting. I think I will ring them to check anyway, because we will need our passports to fly back to...
