Documents Required for All Applicants:
• Copy of passport biodata page (no translation required)
• Birth certificate
• Military records for any applicant who has previously served in the military
• Police certificates for applicants 16 years of age or older from all required countries
• If you have been convicted of a crime, a certified copy of each court record and any prison record
No photos required in the list so you would just take them wth you.
The job advert will stipulate if you need citizenship, or simply "right to work" (or similar wording - to allow those with just work visas). But what one State accepts won't be the same as the next State. For example, some States allow Greencard holders to apply for Police roles, while other states allow US Citizens only. So even a lot of Govt jobs, depending on the agency/state, will happily accept Greencard Holders.
In regards to "Govt jobs", keep in mind that there are City jobs, County Jobs, State jobs, and Federal jobs, in every state. Lots of options there.
Geez, how did I miss that? Cheers.

My counsulate has very clearly stated (in bold and highlighted) that two weeks prior to my interview I need to courier all my documents to them except passports and the invitation to the interview letter. I guess they do this to speed up the interview itself.
They sent me a very detailed set of instructions to follow so it's reasonably clear cut for me. Not sure if all embassies/consulates are the same.
Mijoro's post was what was in my email from KCC, (not the consulate). It just hadn't sunk into my thick head.
Oh, and I don't know what consulate you'll be interviewing at - Mine is Sydney.
If we don't hear from you, we'll have a Hangi to celebrate your passing!

No, some have different procedures.
Hey so update, I finally got the 2nd appointment email from KCC, my interview is booked in for the 5th March in Sydney. I am having my Medical on Friday but have a concern, I have suffered from Depression/anxiety in the past after my Dads death, but managing it now through Meditation, Breathing, Tapping and Exercise. Just want to know if this is a major concern?
Going to visit my doctor tmr to ask what he thinks about it.

Are you on medication for your anxiety etc?

The issues with the medical mostly revolve around communicable diseases
The two main issues that are not communicable diseases that can get you denied are (1) being an alcoholic/drug abuser (2) mental health issues ONLY IF they make you a danger to yourself or others. Depression is not usually an issue, whether it’s being treated through methods such as yours or medical treatment.

Let the panel doctor do the required tests. You don’t need to do anything in advance.

I cannot see this being an issue. I have/had generalized anxiety disorder in the past myself, I suspect it is quite common. They are more concerned about people with infectious diseases or mental health disorders like bi-polar disorder etc.

Yes I think that may be the case, also think we have the medical on the same day.
Funnily enough I've been fighting through a tummy bug for the last two weeks. Not great timing but oh well. It is what it is.
