    DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

    Yes this took longer than other cases. Although the order reads as a simple decisive decision, they clearly struggled with it in some way - especially as they were reversing multiple highly regarded Federal Judges (Mehta and Chutkan have taken the many of the J6 cases).

    DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

    The cases we consolidated so the appeal decision covers a number of cases all with the same outcome.

    OC - 2025 - Selectees Thread

    No, you are not. As Sm1smom and Susie pointed out your understanding was incorrect, and there is no place where my website says place of birth is important for a derivative in the circumstances you describe. You will be charged to Australia after marriage and the fact that the UK are in the...

    DV 2025 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    '1. It is too early to know how high (how risky) your number is because we don't know how many people are selected, we will know more after July/August, and then we would know even more after January 1. You could delay your DS260 submission if you want, but again, the risk of that delay is...

    You have an OC number? 2025OC4XX - right? That is your partners number I assume. He/she was born in in Australia?

    Just to be clear - that means late 2025, not July - September 2024.

    OC - 2025 - Selectees Thread

    It is a random selection. The reason that OCers often get selected more than once is that the chance of selection is higher in OC than other regions. Each region has its own draw, and a low number of entries for the number of selected cases means higher chance of selection. Having high numbers...

    Are you aware that all states have vaccination requirements for school entry? Maybe you can pick a state that has exemptions if you don't mind being in those states...

    And it's not that I am suggesting you could do the "every couple of months" thing forever, that would not be my advice, because sooner or later they will be a nuisance.

    Super high Oceanic number

    I can't remember exactly, but that is mostly because quotas themselves were never really tested prior to DV2022 and DV2023. The caps were never fully me. OC is the closest of the regions to meet the quota in DV2024, and SA is close too. And yes you are correct the 7% cap can't be hit by any...

    Super high Oceanic number

    Big caveat. DV2023 and DV2022 taught us that the government aren't quite as "logical" or even in control of the numbers as those of us like you who can do the math. There is always the possibility of a surprise.

    Super high Oceanic number

    That is possible, but very rare.

    The CEAC data is extracted, compiled and shared by Xarthisius, not me. He answered you already, but was too polite to correct you giving me the credit for his work. :-)

    Not sure where I gave the idea you can pick any country to be interviewed. That's a "nope".

    Super high Oceanic number

    Well it's not "impossible" to go to 2500 - but here is my thinking explained. I'm not so much looking at the VB movement, as the quota and how it is filling in OC. OC has a quota of about 850. To take more than that is possible, but means taking unused quota from other regions (which is...

    Mom is correct, disqualification is certain. You can see the country of chargeability on the 1NL (the "selected" letter).
