Hi all,
So I've booked my medical in Melbourne for late may and have my interview mid-June in Sydney, which is super exciting!
I've got a question that some googling has not answered. I currently work in Melbourne for a company based in NYC and I asked them to provide an employment offer letter to help my chances of being approved, as my bank balance is not huge at the moment (however, it contains more than the US poverty guideline of annual income).
They have agreed to offer me a 'letter of employment intent' for the NYC business, but as they've never put one together before (and neither have I), would anybody here know what would be required to be written on said letter?
I'm also toying with the idea of getting an affidavit of support from some extended family in the US, but I don't really want to go down this route.
Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I don't think the poverty guidelines indicate how much cash you have in the bank, but what the annual income should be. If your pay slips multiplied across 12 months indicate more than the income in the guidelines, plus you have it again in cash, I don't think you have a reason to need an affidavit of support.
Great that you have a job to slide right into once you come over. Not sure what the letter should specifically entail, sorry.

In DV cases, the poverty guidelines are used to assess the income level of the SPONSOR in relation to the total combined family size (sponsor plus family AND selectee plus derivatives). That is used on I-134 which is the AOS form used in DV cases.
For the scenario you mention Michael, you probably don't need a letter from the prospective employer. Three reasons for that.
1. Sydney rarely ask anything about financials (somewhat unusually, so it could change).
2. Your savings would probably be enough to satisfy them.
3. You could talk about the possibility of the transfer.
As I mention in point 1, points 2 and 3 are unlikely to be discussed much if at all. So - no need to overthink this.
Hi Guys,
My consulate interview is on a Tuesday and I need my passport back for an exam on the following Saturday, I won't get it back in time with the usual process.
Has anyone had any luck picking up their passport from the consulate within a day or two of the interview?
Any ideas for what I can do?
Thanks

Some exams like the GRE require candidates to provide a valid passport if the candidate is seating the exam outside their country of citizenship. My son had to forfeit his first attempt (fee is non-refundable) about 2 years ago when he showed up at the test venue with just his GC and driver’s license. USCs on the other hand we’re allowed into the exam venue with just their government issued ID cards such as a driver’s license.
