Interview date sorted! 12th May in Sydney. Now to make sense of all the paperwork requirements. Do I recall that someone (months back) created a more 'user friendly' checklist of everything you need for the interview?

Thanks a lot for your support! Unfortunately I just realised a potential issue (clearly I'm not making this process any easier on myself)...... When I completed the DS-260 form I got both my parents birthdates wrong. Correct dates, but both off by a year. I'm hoping this is a minor mistake that...

And me! For those that remember, I sought advice on how to 'charge myself' to my parents country of origin (NZ) as I happened to be born in UK while my parents were living there temporarily. I've since had a lawyer produce, sign and stamp affadavits and parents Visa/Passports etc - so fingers...

Congrats to all the recently successful interviewees! So according to the latest Visa Bulletin i'm current in May.. I submitted my DS260 in June, when would I expect to next hear from KCC and when would I expect to have the interview?

Nice! What is the best time to call the KCC? I was on hold for 45 minutes the other night and had no choice but to give up (it was around midnight Sydney time on Tuesday night)...

Thanks heaps for the advice and for saving me money on an immigration lawyer! Could you direct me to the source of that info you quoted? Have a feeling this will be crucial for my case/interview... My case is similar to the other one that you posted, though he had the benefit of university...

Hey all. Can anyone recommend an Australian or New Zealand based Immigration Lawyer that specialises in the Diversity Visa or at least USA/Greencard immigration? I'm now concerned about my case given one of the anecdotes from earlier in this thread - and am keen for some professional advice...

Thanks to you and EmilyW for the swift response! Once my interview is scheduled it's going to be hard for me to get back to Auckland on short notice, due to work commitments etc. I was hoping that since my case number is still 'processing' I could change it without repercussion.. Might need to...

Same here - NYC is the place to be career-wise for me (advertising industry). I've considered Chicago, San Fransisco as well, and do love those cities, but in terms of lifestyle NYC is such an electric place especially if you're (relatively) young, without kids etc.....

Hey everyone... a couple of questions here, hopefully easy ones - thanks in advance: My case number ends with 10XX, and I originally submitted my DS260 in June, expecting to interview in my home-town of Auckland. Since then, my personal situation has changed and it's now going to be much...

That's what I was planning to do for my Australian Police Record (I'm currently living in Sydney, but planning to interview in home-town Auckland). In terms of my NZ Criminal Conviction record, I've already requested and received this from the Ministry Of Justice... but I do plan on returning...

Hi all, Just stumbled across this forum/thread. Definitely the best resource I've found so far on Diversity Visa 2015! Everything else including the official info is pretty hard to wade through. So thanks to you all... My case number is 2015OC10XX and I submitted my DS260 in June. Based in...
