    The OC numbers that were actually called to interview didn't surpass 1450. I was 700 short. F*%k.

    And it looks like a dog just ate our visas. I want Crawf to swing by, as far as I can tell he was the luckiest most pro-active, most public diarist of the success stories from DV2014 whole process, I wonder if he'll be shocked it only hit 1450.

    I was going to say let's hear from BritSimon, but he's already said a few words. If you have anything else you can opine on BritSimon I'd like to hear it like even if it goes a hair beyond 1450 for interviews what is your guess? 1488? I was 21xx. At least a month or so ago, is when I came to...

    Yeah I need to stop lamenting, it's annoying and depressing to people. I should be more magnanimous.

    If that's low 1800s you have a slight chance. Better than me. Anyway I'm not as dedicated as you were at ten years, I feel for ya buddy. Good will to all DV seekers.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    I have to say after 13 months reading this forum, by far the worst dearth of information provided to me, was in regards to the limitations of the Sydney consulate. Lot's of talk about all the numbers going current for most of the last ten years, lots of talk about numbers of visas available, but...

    Hopeless DV2014 "winner" with high number over 2000 here. Just wanted to guilt trip you all and say those of you who have numbers lower than 1750 for 2015 are very lucky I hope you know this and understand this and cherish it, as we unfortunate souls get lowered into our DV-less graves. Those...

    The final analysis of me, has to be, that if you get selected for further processing in OC, and your number is higher than 1750 perhaps, you're not a winner of anything. You're a victim of false hope.

    Spent hours reading about e-3's today. I must say it just made more depressed. Totally tied to an employer, expensive to go over there and line up interviews on the VWP, the DV route really is the 'start a new life' way, total freedom to even be self employed with the DV if you wanted to. Total...

    Gridlock. I agree gridlock is great. They have been trying to kill the DV since December 2005 according to wiki. Here's to another 9 years of unsuccessful attempts to kill it.

    http://gothamist.com/2014/06/09/australians_everywhere.php This was an interesting article about the influx of e-3 visa Aussies to NYC, the author of the article seems to think we traded dead soldiers for this visa. The comments were interesting too.

    I guess one of the saving graces with me and my high number disaster, is that I didn't broadcast my further processing situation to all and sundry. I only told a couple of family members and hardly any friends, so I'm not going to look like a silly person now when the whole thing goes by the...

    2014 DV Australian winners

    I should say, these people with families and low numbers under 1200 get their winning's worth. A low number really is a win. A high number is just being teased, taunted and tempted and sentenced to 15 months of tantalizing wonder and what-ifs and forum reading. A high number may well be crueler...
