    howdy - our interview is on 8th December in Sydney. What's the latest we can get the medical done beforehand? One other question, documents required (I'm the dependent/spouse of primary applicant) I don't need to worry about providing any education/degree certificates, right? Also - how long...

    to try and save some money husband and I are going to ensure our vaccinations are all up to date prior to going to the panel doctor. Will our regular GP give us some proof of record for vaccinations or will we need to ask for prints outs? Sorry, not really sure how we are meant to prove to panel...

    The plan is for my husband to go to our regular GP first and make sure he's up to date with all of his vaccinations and to get full bloods done as he hasn't had a check-up in years. Then we'll book the panel doctor. I suppose we should also get our police checks done relatively soon too.

    So expensive, but required unfortunately. Which place did you go to? We're thinking of booking the 'Medibank' one in the CBD but if it means we'll save $100 by going to the one in South Melbourne we'll do that instead.

    so should we be expecting to pay upwards to $500 each for the medical? Was anyone able to save any money on this one? BTW we'll be doing the medicals in Melbourne.

However, he will continue to receive an income in AUD, from the Australian...

    So I have checked out that site and the closest would be graphic designer: http://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/27-1024.00 or 'Manager, other': http://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/11-9199.00 My husband did not complete high school, nor does he have a university degree - so this will be...

    Can you link me to the Facebook group? Thanks for all the advice re AMEX guys. Keen to hear about whether it's transferable or not. Husband and I have just applied.

    DV 2016 OC Selectees

    Great advice, thank you. We'll get on to that straight away. Can it be an AMEX backed by an Australian bank, i.e. http://www.nab.com.au/personal/credit-cards/velocity-credit-cards/nab-velocity-rewards-premium-card and still qualify for a 'transfer'. Or would you need to go grab one from AMEX...

    I find this statement terrifying. Are all of these things we should set up prior to interview? (Minus the friends...) In response to what does my husband do, he's in the field of user experience/design. I'll definitely check out that O*Net site.

    Ok, wow. I can't believe we're in August already, the last few months have gone so fast. I've even had an unexpected work trip to the US since I last posted! I'm 5xx - should I really start to get documents ready or do you think being 5xx we'll have quite a few months to wait? I was thinking...
