    Hi team! Me again. I'm all activated as of Feb 12 and planning to head to NYC in August.

    Hi guys, I'm yet to receive an email from the Sydney consulate regarding the checklist of documents... does this sound normal? Should I receive an email? I have the checklists that were in @EmilyW dropbox file but I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing out on anything. My interview...

    Hi team! I think this has been covered but I just needed to sanity check with you :) In regards to the police certificate, can I just get the police certificate without finger prints as I've lived in Australia my whole life? Or do I need to get the fingerprint one? This is what is listed on the...

    Hi guys! I just wanted to check now that my number is current do I just need to keep checking the CEAC 'DS260 Application page' and wait for an email? I can't seem to access the 'Check my visa application status' page with my case number... I'm sorry I'm sure this has been covered previously but...

    Oh my wordy lordy! I went to bed late last night and thought "hmm maybe I'll check out the forum quickly before I go to sleep" - As you can imagine I spent most of the night hyperventilating (with excitement)! Absolutely heart broken for the people that didn't make it through! I'd resigned...
