DV 2020 Oceania Selectees

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your continued help and input for those of us who feel lost.

I have never attended a medical exam for visa purposes. I have received an email from the office of one of the approved physicians asking me for ALOT of information before the exam - apart from the usual requirements (photos, immunisation records, medical records, etc).

Some of the information, such as a letter from my GP detailing my medical history and any medication I am currently taking I understand.

But they have asked me for more personal information such as: passport information, DOB, case number, sex, places I have travelled to previously, addresses in Sydney, address I plan to relocate to in the US, copy of my DS-260 form, and more.

I am not so comfortable including all of this via email - is it typical to provide all of this via email before the exam? Am I just being paranoid?

This is normal. I have travelled overseas with work a LOT, and this information is common place. The medical examiner needs to ensure the information you provide them, (and they in turn provide to the consulate), matches with the records held/needed by the US Govt.

They are also required by the US Consulate to ask specific information.

Thanks for the quick reply - I feel more comfortable providing this to the doctor's office now.

I have provided all of this information in my DS-260 and was expecting to be asked about this by the US Consulate - but was just surprised that the medical examiner wanted all of this information too.

From the official website - your certificate will be valid for DV processing purposes for one year

Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:

  • You are more than 16 years old;
  • The police certificate was obtained more than one year ago; and
  • You still live in the country that issued the certificate.

ps - this is the Oceania region thread, you may want to post in the main 2020 DV All Selectees thread for general advice

Tahnk you I am sorry
 
Hey OC fam, just received an email from the Sydney consulate for my interview is there meant to be an attachment for the cover sheet or is it just the one that is on their website which I have already? Thanks!
 
Can anyone advise me if the embassy requests documents 2 weeks prior to interview, they said submit all documents, but did not mention any sponsor documents. They Only mention assets paperwork. Does it mean that sponsor I-134 form have to take to interview if someone supporting you.
 
Generally , you are required to take these documents with you in the time of the interview with a copy of each documents requested also .
Regarding sponsorship , I have no clue. I wasn’t requested to provide a sponsorship

Auckland typically requests for documents to be send prior to interview. If they have given you a specific list of docs to send then I'd suggest just sending what is on that list but taking all other supporting documentation with you to the interview. If @Bob22 is still around he might be able to provide additional info, he's a kiwi!
 
Hello all,

I have a question about the expiration date of the visa - on the Cover Sheet for the visa interview documents, it states that:

"I understand that my visa will be limited to my Medical Exam Report or Australian Federal police certificate; whichever is sooner."

My police certificate is dated February 20, and my medical exam is on March 31 - does that mean I will have 6 months from February 20 to activate my visa?

You'll have 6 months from the date of your Medical - March 31
 
I have tried researching this but could not figure it out.
Does anyone know if your number is current and you have an interview scheduled for late April is there anyway to change over to AOS instead of CP? Or do I need to just wait and see if interviews will be postponed etc?
I currently live in Los Angeles and am feeling uncertain of my flights to Sydney in mid April.

You could theoretically switch to AOS since there is not a real connecting between the two. Make your mind up asap and inform the embassy if you are cancelling. You will need to let KCC know also and pay the AOS fee. Then make sure you read Moms AOS thread to learn what you need to do.

If you’re already scheduled for a CP interview, it means KCC already sent your case file to your assigned embassy. I’ll suggest you reach out to KCC first to let them know you’re now switching over to AOS, they’ll need to figure out a way to retrieve the KCC file from the embassy since your FO will need the case file AOS.
 
Yes Auckland ask you to send them in two weeks prior. They list what they want, so would strongly recommend sending what they request. You can always email them they are very responsive.

If you live in Auckland I would just drop them off in person during their opening hours for non-American public (info is on their website)
