EmilyW has a nice list of 29 people in this forum who are progressing towards their diversity visa. Out of the total number of applicants wishing to proceed I wonder what percentage our 29 make up? I'm curious because a few pages back in this forum connectedspace was speculating on a 0.42 to...

November cut off number is out! 500

Those with low numbers who decide not to purse the visa will only allow those with higher numbers (who really need them) to be issued to them instead. I can't think of a more fair system for allocating visas with an intended quota in mind. There is only a problem when someone who has a low...

The National Police Clearance covers all names, both current and previous. There is no need to get a finger print check.

Has anyone from WA with a number below 400 been notified of an interview time and place? I was hoping there would be a slight chance of having interviews in Perth this year and not just Sydney. Would be nice not having to travel over there. The reason for this hope is that Perth was listed as...

The consulate sends an extensive check list upon announcement of interview date.. Nice.

Probably vague isn't the best word.. The website is actually clear as to what is required. I'm just concerned that I will miss some little detail and jeopardise my chances. There are a lot of small things that need to be printed/copied/provided/checked. That's where a concise and detailed...

I was thinking of creating a check list of things to do prior to the interview and was hoping that someone else may have one as a guide. Something like... 1) complete DS-260 form 2) Education documents, Certified copy or original + photocopy (Take to interview) 3) Birth certificates, Certified...

Hi all, thanks for your contributions to the forum, they have been very useful. Prior to finding this forum, I was completely mystified as to how the DV/interview process worked. I'm lucky enough to have a low number OC2015....5xx and currently reside in Perth. In the DS-260 application form...
