Sorry - I'm a little "random" in the scheduling of my livestreams. But you will see there is much repetition of questions, so it's likely that whatever you need to ask is asked by someone...
 
Hi Britsimon,

Are there going to be some 2NLS released also by end of this month, reason behind some of us with low case numbers are still waiting for interview confirmation whereas for some higher case numbers they have already receive confirmation of interview dates..
 
Question for those who have more then one passport.
I have put on my DS260 main passport AU (entry passport) and second passport from NZ.
Do I need to take the second passport to the interview?

I’m a dual citizen, British & Kiwi. I took my British passport and offered it to the documents lady and the consulate officer, neither wanted to see it. You can take it with you just in case though :)

Absolutely no need to apologise :) And yes, I watched your most recent live after the fact and a lot of questions were questions you've covered on your site or on the forum, but there were also some interesting questions and good information given as well! Thanks for all your hard work!
 
Hey guys, less than a week out from my interview in Sydney I'm realizing I might have the wrong police certificate :(
Mine says "standard disclosure" but from other websites I've been reading it should say "complete disclosure" although there are some people that say they have had no issue with the standard one in previous years
Guess I'm wanting to see if anyone has had any luck with the standard one recently?
Not even sure it would arrive in time if I ordered the other today at this point so trying to gauge if its necessary

My Aussie National Police Certificate says "there are no disclosable court outcomes recorded against the name of:"

Hmm, maybe I filled something out wrong or worded it incorrectly because that’s what I stated and I was “not exempt”

You're not automatically exempt (like a foreign citizen or a person who ordinarily lives overseas is) and will need to apply for a permit to leave the country, however if you submit proof that you're planning to leave for a long term you won't have a problem.

From what I've seen the successful people sent:
- A stat dec which clearly states that they are leaving to permanently relocated.
- Proof of quitting your Australia job.
- Proof of your permanent resident visa.
- Proof of leaving your Australian home (be that a sale, end of lease, or leasing it to somebody else, etc.).
- Any other proof that indicates you're making a permanent move (quotes for relocation of your belongings for example).
Plus anything else they explicitly ask for at the time.

Hi, mine say complete disclosure. (our docs have been processed/approved and are awaiting interview invitation).
I followed the instructions on the reciprocal page for Australia: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/australia The comments section at Police Certificates tells you which one to request. Hope this helps.
Cheers, M

The AFP changed their process recently. The used to put "complete disclosure" on police checks which are for immigration purposes, but for the sake of clarity they changed them recently so that immigration ones are marked as such.
 
Thanks for all the advice guys I think I will apply for the other one just in case, mine were also approved but better safe than sorry!
I'm also a big worrier and the new cases/ restrictions on Melbourne are making me concerned the borders might close to NSW
My fight or flight is telling me to impulsively fly up today just in case but I would miss some important things at work and my covid vaccine appointment :(
anyone in the same boat? am I overreacting haha

I think you're doing the right thing.

Its about $30. Less than the cost of a KFC dinner for your family. And it gives certainty and extra time on your visa.

'Extra time on your visa' what do you mean by that?

Your one time entry visa (what the consulate prints in your passport) allows you to enter the US within a certain period of time. That period is the LESSER of:
- 6 months after the date your medical.
- 12 months after the date of issuance of your police check.
- However long the medical was valid for, if you had a material health issue.

In my case I got my police check in July 2020, so I had to get a replacement check otherwise my one time entry visa would be valid only until July.
