DV 2021 Oceania Selectees

caughtinblue said:
Hi guys!

I'm an OC11XX winner in Auckland, NZ (Auckland Consulate). I've received my email saying all my documents are processed and I'm ready to be scheduled (in June last year) however I haven't received a 2NL and my status is still 'AT NVC' despite being current last month. Have emailed the KCC to see if there's anything further needed however seems weird as I've received the ready email.
Anyone else in the same boat?
It looks like the Auckland consulate didn't send out 2NLs for May?

Hey Yessss I am in the same boat!
I have emailed the Auckland consulate several times, asking whether they will have any interviews for JUNE and they have given me vague answers back:

first reply:
The DV scheduling system schedules from lowest case numbers up. At this time, I cannot estimate how long before you will be scheduled.
At this time for US Consulate General in Auckland, is still processing DV 2021 cases.
Hopefully this information will help you. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

second reply:
We are currently processing DV lottery cases, as they are provided to our office by the KCC.

I am gently trying to let Auckland consulate know that we are out there and we are waiting for interviews. Maybe if you email them too, it'll apply some pressure. I just wouldnt go crazy as you dont want to annoy them to the point where they dont reply back at all.

I think they may have a few cases for MAY interviews as they state in their emails that they are still processing cases. I just dont think they will interview any cases for JUNE. We may have to wait until the next round of 2NLs go out at around the middle of this month.

I know 2 other NZ/Auckland selectees in the same boat as you. One is OC7XX and the other is OC14XX. It doesn’t look like there will be any scheduled interviews for June in Auckland sadly :(
If it makes you feel any better, I’m OC10XX have been interviewed and approved but they haven’t printed my visa, and it looks like there’s a global system fault that’s causing this as many other people who have been interviewed are still waiting for their visas too. I actually wonder if that’s why that haven’t taken anymore DV interviews at this stage.

Thanks for the intel @KiwiToo & @AshleyMarleyNZ!! It's bittersweet, but kind of nice knowing we're all in the same boat :)

I've sent an email to the AKL Consulate asking when interviews will be too, will let you know when they reply! Fingers crossed we're in the next round of 2NLs.

Ashley, hope your visa arrives soon! I have a friend waiting for theirs too (been over 2 weeks!) hopefully it's not too far away!

That's the latest batch of 2NLs for Suva

Yes, I think the situation for NZ and AUS embassies will show quite different numbers than SUV. I wouldn’t surprised if SUV get through all their winners by the end of SEPT while AUS and NZ cases may still be waiting. However, it’s grest that SUV is processing quickly, it might push the NZ and AU embassies to process more of their end.

I am from Suva and my home is just 2 streets away from the embassy which will be to no advantage. Just don't understand KCC in their scheduling method. It is very hard to wait knowing higher case numbers are being scheduled

Latest I heard that May interviews had been postponed due to surge in covid cases in Fiji.
 
Does anyone who has had their medical know if we need to bring any medical history with us or whether they will already have access to our records already? Some of the overseas websites say you need to bring history but haven't seen that requested here so assuming they have some sort of access to it already?

In Australia the medical results are sent directly to the Consulate by the physician.

You should keep your chest xrays and immunization records for when you arrive in America, and the chest xrays should be carried in your carry-on luggage (not packed).

IF for some reason the doctor gave you the whole medical record then take it with you just in case.

Am in the exact same boat - OC3**, Auckland consulate and 'ready for scheduling' since June last year but no news since :/ Have also just emailed KCC a few days ago but no response yet.

How is that possible that case numbers over 3000 received interview email and mid range case such as mine 18xx not scheduled ?

Hi,
Yes,its strange to see high case numbers have already received their 2NLs for SUVA,
I'm with OC14XX still waiting for my 2NLs.
 
Question regarding the address for green card posting.

You have to provide a US address either at the interview or port of entry. I don't think i will have an address that i know i'll be living at but i do have a close friend's address in the US.

Is it possible to provide that address but ask that they attention it to my friend instead of me (like below)? To ensure it makes it to her and doesn't get returned.. I'm sure this isn't uncommon as not everyone would have a long term place lined up before they go.

To [my name]
C/O [friend's name]

Happy to hear other's thoughts or suggestions on this.

Absolutely, this is what most people do.

I had my medical this week, I didn't bring and medical history as such, the Dr on the day asked me questions relating to my medical history and I answered the questions. I did take my immunisation records and I also had my bloods done at my GP prior to see what I was and wasn't immunised against. My GP was able to give me booster shots and at the medical I had the flu shot. The Dr at the medical told me this helped and saved a lot of time.

Brisbane based here as well. The lady in the office was very informative and helpful when we called last week so that's a little concerning to hear that your appointment was just cancelled. She did say that the Dr was taking time off in May so perhaps that could be why they couldn't reschedule you before your interview?

I was told that the Dr. hadn't renewed their registration for this type of medical. Don't quote me though... I'm just repeating what I was told later. Have they taken your deposit? Sorry for the late reply!! I would confirm if you haven't already as I was there and they cancelled me as I was parking. :)

Anyone else enter for DV2022 as well, just in case they miss out for 2021?

I got selected again but with a higher case number in the mid 2000’s.

I did and wasn’t selected again, so feeling very lucky about last year and already being interviewed! Lol.
