    I went through LA and I lined up in the Visitor Line (not the one for visa waivers). I saw the guy at that desk first then was told to go down to the New Immigrants area which was down the very end. That's where I handed over my documentation, signed documents and had the ink fingerprints taken...

    Haha oops, it was March! I've fixed it now :) I had to ring up and get my password reset as my account had been locked. I'm in now and it says Card Produced so hopefully that means it's on its way soon.

    Hi All, I made it to the States safe and sound. POE through LA was very straight forward - went through the customs line as normal, passport was checked and fingerprints scanned then he sent me down to the end of the customs area to wait for another officer. I had an ink fingerprint taken...

    Hi Guys, for those that have already entered the US, is there anything in particular you need at POE (apart from the packet from the Embassy)? I know a couple people had trouble with paperwork/photos not being included in the packet from the Embassy. Just want to make sure it goes smoothly. Thanks

    Blood work, eye test, general physical (e.g. touch your toes, stretching etc), blood pressure, chest X-ray then they just ask about your vaccination history, check your height/weight and a few general heath questions. I think that was about it. It's pretty straightforward (especially if all your...

    Hi Suicide Blonde, thought I would chime in as well as I did my medical in Melbourne. I took 4 photos (Australian size) with me and they only asked for 1. I guess take 4 just in case but Australian size is fine (they're cheaper than the US ones and easier to get).

    Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help: I've lived in WA, NSW and now VIC so i'll need Police Clearances from each state. I've had a look at the 2014 forums and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer on whether or not we need just the regular Name Check or the Fingerprint and Name Check. It...
