    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    With such a high number, I haven't bothered sending the forms in yet. Best to wait and see what happens this September. I knew I would have to wait until I became current in September 2015, but I am starting to doubt even that chance. Looks like I will be a winner/loser again this year like I...

    Hi OC Winners, Looks like I am the highest Oceania number - 22xx. Can anyone offer me any hope?

    2013 DV Australian winners

    Also, you can't drive a car out of a dealership without insurance. Insurance will be expensive at first, but 6 months or so down the track, shop around and there will be fairly hefty reduction in premiums. If you have paperwork about your Aus licence or car insurance that shows you have been...

    2013 DV Australian winners

    It may be different from state to state, but I got a driver's licence before getting my SSN. The Visa or the I-94 number was used in it's place. (Can't remember) So take your passport along and see. Be prepared, the DMV waiting time, same as Aus can be long. Also, we have had no problems driving...

    Selectees on 22nd October, report here!

    That's my question too. To avoid confusion, you'd think they would update the message to clarify that the 2nd draw has taken place. Good luck all.

    DV Lottery Re-draw Oct

    Trouble with Status Check Has anyone had trouble checking their confirmation number on the status check? Thought i would give it a try before October 22nd, just to see what message I got. I can't get through. Keeps saying that the details entered are incorrect. I have tried both my details, my...

    DV 2013 Program-Online Registration October 4 - NOV 2ND, 2011.

    Any visa left over from 2012 will not be carried into 2013. If they are not used for 2012 they are lost. It seems that everything is going smoothly for 2013. All the bugs in the status check system have been fixed, and KCC are receiving applications at a rapid rate. I would not hold out any...

    For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

    No. I've called and asked. I wouldn't do it hoping for a "2nd batch" win out of the blue. I am only considering it because I am one of the May 1st selectees, who was not from the first two days and KCC already have my forms. It is a chance, that I wouldn't want to miss out on if the appeal is...

    For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

    Free of charge? I wish! In Australia, the cost is $145 each for a police check (including fingerprint check). Plus $20 to our local police station here in the USA to do the fingerprints. The check takes up to 30 days, maybe more with the current overload of requests. So for my husband and I...

    For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

    That's exactly what I am thinking. Better to be a couple of hundred out of pocket, than to miss out completely? or should I say..."another couple of hundred" !!!

    For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

    So you say that they could notify me on September 3rd, and could have an interview by September 30th? If i am notified on September 3rd, I will not have enough time to get my police check. They will not issue me a visa without a clear police check. Impossible. Unless they have the ability to...

    For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

    Looks like time is running out. All are waiting for a decision on the appeal. But really, is there enough time to proceed with a win? Don't know if DOS can appeal to a higher court? Even with a win today, it may take a month or two for KCC to process the forms, then we get an interview...

    One way insurance for the move to the US

    If I remember correctly, one way tickets are more expensive than a return ticket! That might be an option. True, most companies want a return ticket, but I got insurance one-way. I'm not 100% sure right now, as it was 4 years ago, but I think it was through Medibank Private. Also try the online...
