DV 2015 Oceania winners

We are briefly heading back to the USA to check some property and high schools out (interviews), only 4 weeks after activation, so don't have green cards yet - so which immigration line do we Q up in when we land in US this time around?

You do have green cards. Temporary ones in your passports. Residents queue (usually but not always same as citizens, depends on airport/terminal)
Bear in mind hopping in and out frequently will get you scrutinized. I presume the next time you go back after this will be permanent?

Important Announcement! OC2015 Celebratory Craft Beers!

My appointment is at 10AM but after a successful interview I intend on retiring to the Bavarian Bier Café on 24 York Street Sydney to celebrate.

Start time - when the consulate finishes with us. Let's say 11-12 onwards.

@arrypottah @SydSteve @martinskypemartin all indicated interest, so that's all the cool kids. Anyone who works in the Sydney CBD should come and @Santy23 you're interviewing so you should come too.

Example toasts:
  • America!
  • OC 15!
  • 1490! (Everyone's favourite CN Cutoff)
* (There are a couple of other nice bars around but most of them don't open until 12, BBC opens at 11.)
** To avoid public shaming I reserve the right not to attend if I'm unsuccessful.

Good luck @guestgulkan for your interview today.. Wishing you the best of luck, let us know when you leave the embassy I will try to sneak out of the office to congratulate you in person:)
