Hi guys! just thought i'd do a follow up on this just for any one elses future research. My friend did end up filing her DS260, getting married asap, then emailing to add her husband onto her application - she was told her case was already scheduled with an interview and was with embassy, so...

Thank you both! Any prior knowledge from other applicants on how adding in the spouse once DS260 is already submitted affects the scheduling?

Hi amazing DV Lottery people!!! Long time, no forum, i've been busy settling into LA-living. I've had a few friends win the DV Lottery recently, for 2016 and 2017! So i'm jumping in to ask some questions from the experts for them (BritSimon and SusieQQQ i'm looking at you!) So the most...

I love that this thread is still running... though I have neglected to keep up with it!! It's coming up to our 1 year anniversary here in Los Angeles as of this Wednesday! It has gone so quickly and the DV process seems like a lifetime ago now! We're still living in the apartment we moved into...

Carmax advised we did to buy from them... Or maybe the sales guy was wrong. I'm not sure...

Yep, we are pretty much settled! I *almost* have a job (I will be very surprised if I don't get an offer on Monday) and husband also has work lined up with a startup (Fingers crossed they are a success so he makes lots of money :P ) We got a car a few weeks ago (I don't have my licence - need...

We just got an apartment in LA and had to put down double security deposit (2 months rent) as we didnt have credit history plus 1 month rent up front. So be prepared for some initial outlay $$$!! We had set up a bank acct and transferred our AUD to USD into it - we paid electronically as our...

Congrats to everyone who got their 2NL! One step closer :) im still checking in on you guys here regularly :)

Yup :( Soonest is April 20. I believe it's because they introduced AB 60 in January so there's HEAPS of people applying for licences. Anyone know if dealerships will let us buy a car on a foreign licence?

We opened an account with Chase with no SSN and needed something with our address on it..luckily we had just got an AT&T contract so could use that (needed to put down a $500 deposit per person though as no credit - refundable in a year). Decided to do that rather than prepaid to help build...

Tried to do this today and she said there was nothing in the system but we have to wait the 20 or so days to get one automatically from the immigration process :/ Tempted to go into a different office tomorrow (and wait 2 hours again D: ) and just hand in the application form anyway...

Thanks @Britsimon and @SusieQQQ !

For those of us already in the US - how long did it take to get your SSN number?

POE Experience: We have now been in LA for 24 hours! We woke up at an ungodly hour of 3.30am on the 10th Feb as we had to be at the airport at 5am for our 7am flight to Sydney. Unfortunately Virgin stopped flying MEL-LAX direct in October last year so we had a layover before our international...

Yes good luck OC-ers for tomorrow's interviews!! I will be checking for updates on my layover in Sydney tomorrow morning en-route to LAX :D

We just had the National Police Checks (mine from October) applied for through Vic Police for our interview a few weeks ago and they were fine. If it shows all your names I believe it will be fine :)

Most photo places will do them - there's a list here http://canberra.usembassy.gov/mobile//photographers.html

Is it bad that I'll sing along to Pat Benatar with or without alcohol? :P https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/ Use the same site you originally checked your entry on back in May! :)

Approved :D
