You can travel at any step of this process, however remember entry to US is never guaranteed (but even a denial of entry won't affect the process)

 

abide the esta esta rules and have your return ticket with you! This is extremely important. Have your noa1 copy or a picture of it in case they ask.

 

have ties to your home country. If you quit your job entry may be harder than normal. you will need legitimate ties.

 

do not lie if asked at the port of entry by a cbp agent. 

 

Other than these you can travel! Good luck  

 

@JSCGPV thanks!

Thanks @naes can always count on your prompt reply!

 

Once we receive our NOA2 and i am in America (on an ESTA) can i complete the rest of the process in my own time (the medicals, interview etc.) or will they say 'you have to be here on these exact dates' ?

when i say my own time it will be within a month or so of receiving the NOA2 (after my return flight back to Australia) 

i just don't want to have to book an early flight home from America as they are not cheap!!

That would depend on the embassy.

 

noa2 itself has an expiration date (4months), which can be extended by the embassy. 

 

However if your embassy decides on the interview dates and not you, then it may be a problem.

@Naes

Ok thanks.

It should be fine then, from what i can gather you have to schedule your own interview at the Sydney embassy where i have to go.

good luck at the port of entry.

 

And please write about your experience later when you have time as this is a question we see a lot.

 

you can also write it in the "yes you can visit" topic

They didn't even say if I have a background check pending. All they said is I'll hear back in 15 days. urgh

Hey @Pat&Rose 

Looks like we are on same boat 🚣💭

i have sent my RFE on 15 February 2018

For those that got their employment verification-
Did your boss address it to the embassy? How was that letterhead structured?

Thanks
