niterider Posted January 23, 2019 Share Anyone here applied for a US visitors visa from New Zealand? If so, how long from interview until visa issued? I had my B1/B2 visa within 2 or 3 days after the interview. Not sure if its different for different classes of visa though.

l4y3rcake Posted January 29, 2019 Share What everyday beer do you guys consume in NZ? I’m a sheeple Castle lite consumer here in SA. What could compare to that?

What could compare to that?Lots of options from all your international stuff to the local stuff. Locals include:Speights Gold MedalSpeights Summit (probably akin to a Lite)Speights MidSteinlager (which has a lite, I don't like Steinies so no idea what it's called)Lion Red (yes, you can now down a Lion again and feel satisfied)Tui (which probably also has a few varieties)Double BrownWaikato Draught (river water)Etc etc etc. RossW 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/199/#findComment-3450119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interview was super quick, and they said visa was approved, so now the wait to get my passport back (they mentioned the 2-3 days that you did). Did you get the 10yr multiple entry visa, or did they give you a shorter one, like they do for Aussie tourists?

Just checked it out. Looks like it would either be Speights Summit or Lion Ice.

intern Posted January 30, 2019 Share Thanks. Just checked it out. Looks like it would either be Speights Summit or Lion Ice.Speights is my preferred beer; gold medal though for me, spose it's a bit like Castle or maybe Amstel (in a brown bottle though). I don't like low cal or half strength beers although I will drink DB 2 percenter 'beer flavoured drinks'; just looked and it's called DB Export Citrus. Note that this stuff is not beer by any means!http://www.dbexportbeer.co.nz/beers/dbexport-citrus-grapefruit Sepia 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/199/#findComment-3450244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the 10yr multiple entry visa, or did they give you a shorter one, like they do for Aussie tourists? The US embassy saw kindly on me and granted the 10yr multiple entry that they always used to. I was worried with Tronald Dump in power and applying from NZ they would just give me a short 1-2yr visa, similar to the ESTA that Aussies and Kiwis get. Anyway, very impressed with the turnaround time. 2 days from application to delivery.

Slowbee Posted February 6, 2019 Share A couple of "out of town questions". What would it take to say get a job as a delivery driver ? Or say a postman ? In NZ. And the next one what are the government policies on equal opportunity employment within both government and the private sector? *Have not done any google reading* Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/155527-new-zealand-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/page/199/#findComment-3454697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although did see a guy labouring up a hill on a bike. Figured out might be worth getting the job just for the training opportunities. Beats humping a bag through South London estates that I did in a previous life.
