Any idea of what type of questions normally be asked by Consular at interview. And how many questions do you reckon is asked...

The interview is usually anti-climatic with the CO reviewing your documents and confirming details. You may be asked where you intend to move or what you will do for work.
There are a ton of interview experience stories on Simons Blog

The CO can ask ANY question deemed pertinent, which may not be limited to the documents you’re presenting. All you need to do is truthfully answer any and every question you get asked. Truthfully answering questions doesn’t require any kind of advance preparation.

Hello. I'm new to this thread and have a question if anyone can help that would be great.

So I am lucky enough to have my interview in December (yay). I sent all my paper work through very early like way back in August and the required documents included the police check. So no I see that is says your visa is issued depending on the date of your police check or medical whcih ever is sooner.....well if thats the case then my visa is issued on the date of police check dated July... so I would need to enter the USA in Jan. Surely that wouldn't be right and they would use the medical which will be late Nov. Should I try to get new police checks ( I need 3 as we are a family)???
Thanks in advance

It's 6 months from the date of your medical - where have you seen it posted that they use the PCC?

It is a big move with kids (especially teens) and we plan on just going, no activation trip, no look, see, decide trip just straight out move. Good Luck ExcitedAussie on your future move.

Wow that's amazing! Where are you going to settle?
 
Having been here nearly four years (in February), I can safely say that moving to the US was the best decision I/we ever made. There hasn't been a single moment of regret, other than the absence of pies.

Boomerang not good enough? They are quite Americanized.
 
Boomerang is actually pretty good: I was surprised.

I've resorted to driving to Atlanta to the Australian Bakery Cafe every couple of months to eat a classic pie and bring some home in the Esky.
 
For any homesick Aussie, you can order your fave snacks from www.treatsfromoz.com with $10 flat rate shipping to the US - no pies unfortunately but lots of chips and chocolates

I've gotten a couple of orders from them and Andrew is great. If there is something you want but dont see it on his site, just message him and he will usually source it for you!

Hey TPot! I got my police checks done in July, I am not going to get a new one. I think your police check is valid for 12 months so that would put your expiry around June/July for the police check or May for your medical I think?
 
No idea why but I’m like a person excited to receive their GC in their mail even though I activated my visa last week. Fingers crossed I get it by Christmas!!

My wife and I are still not 100% decided yet but we've got our medical booked for Thursday regardless. Some days we're super excited and other days we worry if it's the right decision.
