Hi mom What is the number? Sorry I am looking and can't see it anywhere. Thank you

Hey everyone My gc has arrived successfully :) but my other two family members cards have not. When I track them on uscis with the IOE # it says they have been returned to uscis. Why would they deliver one card but not the others? What should I do now? TY

Great. Thanks Suzy

I have already activated and handed my yellow envelope to the officer at Poe. I am trying to log in to the payment website to pay for the actual card to be made and sent. However, the "a" number that was on the front of my yellow packet was not given back to me and I have forgotten where I...

Has anyone heard from @Deb7a ? Hope everything in Colorado is going well. Update please :)

The web page is down right now. Been trying to get in for 2 days but nothing. Hope the fix it soon.

Thank you mom and susie, you have both been so helpful throughout this process. I will be back in the states before the year is up hopefully. I actually met a taxi driver there who won the DV lottery and we got chatting about it.. He said that he never received his plastic GC in the post and...

Hi everybody! I have finished my activation trip in LAX and it was very easy. After lining up with the first customs officer, he checked a few things and then escorted us to the desk where they process the paperwork. We were asked to take a seat and were called up about 5 mins later, the...

It is so common in nz, I have friends all over north and south and see this way of life as the norm. They are not wanting to change or better themselves or children. I don't understand this way of life either. I can only put it down to laziness. They can't be bothered to cook healthy meals or...

Below is an interesting article from an american woman who lived in nz. In my opinion she is spot on. Some of the comments from others in the article link are hilarious. http://e2nz.org/migrant-stories/chapter-4/an-americans-take-on-rip-off-new-zealand/ My story: We moved out of nz because...

@Britsimon would you be kind enough to post your recommendation or link of a reasonably priced healthcare package for a family of 3 (2 adults and a young teen). There are a lot of options out there! A bit off topic. I am getting a lot of info on the internet but not yet 100% sure of the...

We are starting to look into various insurances too, most employers will offer basic cover which is good. (I think) I wonder what happens to people who need emergency care and have no insurance at all. Surely they are not refused? I'm sure a lot of people cannot afford cover if it costs so much.

Wow, 14 applications is a lot. We applied for Dv 2015 and luckily got it the first time with a low CN.

Thank you @Sm1smom, @Britsimon and @MattWatt, I appreciate your ongoing help. Fingers crossed I sell up and move within a year after activation. I'm sure it will be fine, I just wanted to cover myself just in case. And @EmilyW and @guestgulkan I did sort my address problem and will take...

I am only staying for a week for the activation. Hope to move permanently to the states within a year but if the house and everything doesn't sell, I am worried it will risk my green card LPR status and will be asked to surrender it. If I just go ahead and get the re-entry permit that will...

Hey everyone Would I be wise to apply for a re-entry permit POE? I am worried it might take more than a year to sell the house and finish up with work etc. (It shouldn't but I like to be well prepared for just in case) apparently I can only apply for reentry permit while in the usa. Thanks...

Thanks @EmilyW I will google them now! Fingers crossed :)

Hey guestgulkan I looked into the address that they use and it seems that you use their physical warehouse address with an identifying number that is individual to your own account. Then they forward your things to australia. It just seems too easy, but I am very curious about using the...

Just regarding the us postal address, there is a service that can assist with shipping via aus post. https://shopmate.auspost.com.au Can anyone see any reason that the green card couldn't be sent through this service? I am now panicking about getting my cards sent safely to me. Would a...

Does anyone know if the actual green card can be sent to the USPS postal service and then be forwarded onto Australia? The address I was going to use at the Poe has now become unreliable. I am starting to really worry unless anyone can advise if there is a postal service that would get my cards...
