Hey there, Lori and I have blue stickers (temp work visa's) in hand.

While we're here in the US, should we get our EOI out of the way (I'd like to start on the path to PR). Our FBI clearance actually came in 3 weeks (after speaking with our senators). I have the job offer so if I understand it, we'll be immediately selected.

My only concern is, if they invite me to apply, I'll need to provide my medical cert which is being kept by the Washington DC office. I asked my visa officer to send it back but they said it must remain on file....maybe I can convince them to send it when I get the ITA.

Do you guys think I should submit it here in the US or wait until I'm in Wellington and submit it? London vs Wellington?

how old is the medical cert? i think it has to be less than 3months old when you submit your ITA so unless its very recent you may need a new one anyway.

One point in favor of applying in NZ - the application fees are lower.
