I was in NSW & went to Dr Millar in Sydney for my medical. I rang & spoke to his receptionist who is extremely helpful...I didn't need my NVC number to book my medical. I had mine done ahead of the NOA2 but not by much. They recommend you waiting until as close to the guesstimate on the NOA2 being done as the medical is good for 12 months.
The bonus of going to Dr Millar is everything is all in the one building, so you don't have to run all over town.
Best of luck with it all...

You can get your SSN as a K1....BUT in regards drivers licenses...check with state requirements. I had to wait to get my drivers license until I had my GC here in Ohio. Bank account it depends on the bank & if they will allow you to be added as per their system. We waited until we were married to have my added to bank accounts & credit cards.
Sadly I would say be prepared for a world of being in limbo as such until you have your GC...and then it is a whole new ball game.

Thanks girls...went for my first job interview yesterday & got the job YAY!! I am so over this limbo feeling. Fixing my SSN tomorrow to my married name & sitting the OH drivers test...finally a feeling of normality is returning.

Received my Green Card!!! YAY!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
