Never ending paperwork...

I just finished booking my visa appointment :D

Let's just say I wouldn't wish that amount of paperwork on anyone! But now it's done I can sit back and relax....just kidding. Now I have to gather a ton of supporting documents haha yay...

My appointment is booked for the 11th of May. Originally it was for the 23rd but more appointments became available so I opted for the first one. You never know, they may think I'm dodgy and then I'd have to make my way back to the Melbourne consulate all over again. So to prove I am there to indeed travel/work I need to provide the following:

  • Purpose of trip to US
  • Sufficient funds
  • Proof of return (Half done)
  • Academic record
  • Passport
  • DS-2019
  • DS-160
  • Issuance fee
  • Application receipt
  • Self addressed platinum express post envelope
I will be doing a lot of running around next week trying to get this organised. But it's worth it. It better be worth it haha.

Bye :)

Welcome packs!

My welcome pack arrived 2 weeks ago :D




So that was very exciting.

My pay for lifeguard is the shallow water rate which is a huge relief because I did not want to end up guarding the wave pool! lol. Way too stressful.

I'm hoping to book my visa interview for the 9th of May but I might have left it too late so I'll just have to wait and see.

I still have to buy insurance and try to gather some spending money haha but everything seems to be working out well :)

Only 70 days to go! 9 short weeks. I'm so nervous but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I don't want to waste.

Anyway. I will update soon about my visa interview.

Bye :)
