Pack took atleast 2 weeks to arrive . I applied for the criminal convictions via both post and email. I suggest do this asap as MOJ are quite slow. I have pre requested a copy since it's valid for 6 months . I did request another copy when I received my pack but that did not arrive till the day...

Hi , That's an Auckland only thing. You will be receiving a pack in your mail which will explain everything. Once you receive that pack you can book the medical. I had the same issue . Just make sure that you ring the doctor to confirm that they have sent your medical documents to the embassy a...

Thanks a lot @SusieQQQ & @EmilyW . Vegas here I come

Hi all, just wanted to do a quick check before I shoot off for my POE visit 1- What's required at POE is the yellow sealed envelope and receipt proof of paying the $165 USCis fees ? 2- Bank of America would let me open a bank account without a SSN ? Appreciate the help

Perfect, thanks Emily. I will surely visit them. Can't get this wrong in an 8 day trip. I need that number to apply for any jobs online

Thanks Simon . I am only going for 8 days on this trip so I guess I will have to stand in que and not take the chance. I won't be able to go back a month later if the DS260 doesn't come thru. Btw is the passport enough as an ID or does one need 2 forms of ID ? Thanks

I do realise this has been covered before . I am making my POE trip on the 21st . Wanted to know if I could rock up to the SSN office after 72 hours to pick up my social security number. That's if it gets processed as it should. If it doesn't show up I realise I have will to stand in que and...

Ladies & gents ,congrats to everyone who has gone current, for those who have had their interview and got the green light to go - Do you get cold feet thinking about the daunting task of starting all over again?? Or is it just me? I suppose applicable to people with family not the single ones. I...

Passports back this morning. Took almost 4 weeks. Bring it on Vegas I say :)

Sorry should have said anyone who went for their interview around the same time as me ,which I knew was a few people from here and wether they had received their passports back as I do know est delay is 3 weeks from what the embassy said .

Anyone else have a problem with their visa being slowed down due to the global issues at embassies. I am still waiting on my passport to come back!!

Yeah luckily I had the tickets blocked and not booked. The inconvenience is more around the fact that I am struggling to get time off and these dates would have been ideal for me to go over and get SSN sorted . Mainly to apply for jobs before the big move

As per below . This hold up at the embassy has cost us our POE trip . Was planning to fly out on the 16 and be back on the 27. Can't go now as I need to be here in July due to my job . Random bad luck I say !!

You should be fine. I initially used the checklist @EmilyW had and it did the job just fine . Then they sent another one which was exactly the same. I wouldn't worry too much. They pretty much said congratulations and that the passport will be sent by courier while checking our documents off...

So after we came out from the consulate we rang the doc to as where the medicals were, since we had paid for the courier . Their reply was that they were waiting on 2 forms with our photos to be returned before they could send it . These forms were given to us in error in the first place and the...

Here is some good news. Got to the embassy 15 min early for an 8.40 interview. Usual security check . They did a document check and collected the money. We waited 2 hours for our turn. When we met the lady at the main counter who went thru our documents said to us that the doctor hadn't sent...

With the checklist I got it was CV's for both me and my wife and also bank acc details to show we could support ourselves. My wife is the principal applicant we are not applying under work criteria

The checklist we were sent from the Auckland embassy did mention CV's aswell

Damm that list had me worried. I said to the mrs we better prepare. An Indian and kiwi couple are sure to raise suspicion lol. All of a sudden I started asking her what day does the rubbish get picked up ? She thought I woke up on the wrong side of the bed .....

Thanks Emily, documents getting sent off next week. We emailed the consulate and they told us to mail the documents in and then come to the interview with just passport and any other missing documents . Strange how they do it so differently
