The odds for OC are far higher than other regions - about 1 in 20. I'm the person that expresses the odds (for other regions) as 1 in 200 years or similar. I express it that way to make the point it isn't a plan. In OC region the odds are so much better that it almost could be a plan...

Very few lawyers have handled any DV cases. And a lawyer that talks about expediting a DV case clearly has no prior DV experience.

Overthinking. They are fine.

No need to be concerned, just focus in reading the instructions

Fiji is not limited so we will see highest numbers of around 5000. At the moment though I think the indicators are tgat cases number starting with 4 and up are not going to get a chance. I have explained why on my blog and YouTube channel.
