Jessjames did you have to make a claim? I'm thinking on a working holiday visa you always had the intention to return home - when you agree to the Ts & C's you are declaring you are a permanent resident of the country you buy the insurance in - which clearly I won't be. No problem purchasing it...

Hi Abbie I actually have a return back to London (I left there in September), so I've got a one way from there to the US booked on airpoints! I'll have a look at the two you have suggested. I actually stumbled across a company called Patriot America which offers reasonably priced medical...

My planned move to the US is now only a month away. I've got one way tickets booked, but that poses a problem for travel insurance. Ideally I'd like cover for 3 months, as I'm traveling for a few weeks on my way, and I'm not likely to have health insurance in the US until I find a job, and this...

I've just heard back from the consulate - I have to take ONE photo if the photos I submitted are more than 6 months old...which they are as I submitted my forms back in July. Sigh. One more question, do we need to take the chest x-ray to the interview? I can't find it mentioned anywhere, and...

was isionasm Hi quick questions for those who have interviewed in Sydney re photographs - did you take two photographs as well as the ones you submitted to the KCC? The official website is quite clear that you only take them if you didn't submit them with your application Photograph...

Congrats Tevolo! My interview is in June. A question on payment, I assume they do take debit cards (or even credit?) at the Sydney consulate, and we don't have to take cash??

I checked with the Sydney consulate on this, as I obtained my UK police report in August. My interview is in June! They clarified that as long as I had not been living back in the UK since the report was issued, it was fine. I double checked, told them I had been back and forth to the UK for a...

The waiting is making me crazy!!! I was checking every day from the 5th, just in case...now I am trying to forget about it for a few days. So far not successfully!

So all regions are current in June, I knew my number would be current, but I wasn't expecting to see that! Does anyone know when we will get our interview letters? And by that I mean when will we see them when we check online....mine still has the July 2011 letter. Thanks

Have I missed something? When I last checked the visa bulletin (about 1 minute ago!) it still says 'April 2012 (Coming Soon)' - do they send out emails before they release the numbers on the webpage? My case number is OC000011** - based on last years numbers I was hoping my interview would be...

This will be because Brits are not eligible for the DV lottery; not a qualifying country

Thanks verdite! I'm actually from New Zealand, they mention School Certificate and Sixth Form Certificate. I have both, but Sixth Form was not the final year, so I think I'll apply for my Higher School Certificate - which is 'a record of the satisfactory completion of five full-time years of...

Thanks! Wow can't quite believe they are that strict....Seems crazy! Guess I will be going back to my old high school and asking them for documentation...

Proof of education Hi all have a question on documents proving high school diploma. I actually have a post-graduate qualification - will proof of this suffice, or do they actually want to see high school qualifications?! Surely the higher and more recent education would prove it...but thought I...

Hi all. I have a question on documents proving high school diploma. I actually have a post-graduate qualification - will proof of this suffice, or do they actually want to see high school qualifications?! Surely the higher and more recent education would prove it...but thought I better check...

When I sent my forms to the KCC in July, I applied to have my interview in London. I then couldn't face another winter in London, so left and am now in Sydney. I contacted the KCC early January to change my interview (I am anticipating my interview to be in May). They told me exactly what to...

No that's the US embassy charging it! I can't even find a phone number for the Sydney one. They really don't want people calling them!

THE UK checks are easy when you are still in the country. google acpo police certificate (it won't let me paste the link here), or there is a link from the London US embassy website I'm finding it damn near impossible to get an NZ one in the UK - I have to contact the US Embassy to request a...

Deaky - interviews don't start until 1st October so you should be fine - does depend how long you stay for though!? In 2010 case numbers up to 350 were called in October.

I'm a Kiwi winner too! But living in London. Case number in the 1100s. I was making plans to move to Sydney (leaving London end of August) when I found out I was successful. Put all my plans on hold as someone told me I had a low case number. After doing a LOT more reading of forums and websites...
