I didn't mention anything about capacity. I was just saying that it's good news because it's increases the chance of getting an earlier interview, even if it's only by a week or so. But knowing me I'll still get an interview at the end of the month...

That's good news. I thought based on previous reports they were only doing one Tuesday a month.

The instructions on the 'DVselectee' website for the Sydney consulate specify the flu season period. I forget the period, but says from 'month A' to 'month B', so if you're interviewed during that period you need to have your flu shot. Obviously the flu season period will be a bit different in...

So they're doing more than one day a month in Sydney by the looks of it, as people have gotten dates on 21st and 28th October.

Thanks! Hanging in there is all one can do really! I was hoping to do an 'activation' trip in December after a November interview but I guess I'll have to push that out to January. It certainly makes it hard to make plans in the near future, I don't know how other people with families etc manage it.

That's interesting. Well whatever it was, I appear to have been bumped off the November list even though I submitted my DS260 in May and had a low 400s number (even though I know that doesn't necessarily matter). :( So much waiting is driving me crazy!

Sorry, I can't work it out either. I have been PMed before so I know it's possible. Something to do with 'starting a conversation' but I can't find the option.

Yes I agree no fingerprints are not required. You also don't need to go into a police station to get your certificate, you can just also get the application form online and send it through the post if that's easier.

That is all I expected, but Matt said his friend got more info by emailing them, so I thought it was worth a shot. I'd be curious as to what his friend's reply actually said.

Well I got my reply back from KCC. Matt - your friend was lucky if they got actual details, all I got was this: "Thank you for your inquiry. Your forms have been received and pending further embassy review for the continuation of your visa processing. KCC is currently scheduling visa numbers...

That sucks - luckily I have flight benefits (pilot in the family), so I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. I've emailed KCC asking when to expect a 2NL so we shall see what they say.

Well I went through that in the 2014 lottery and came out empty handed, so I'm all too familiar with how that feels. I'm not really stressed about the situation, just a little bit disappointed and confused I guess. When I was originally selected in 2014 and before we realised it was going to...

Yes, and I was always originally expecting a December interview so I will be looking at the big picture. I just don't understand why, if all you say is true about Sydney being able to handle the number of monthly cases, why they are delaying current numbers.

All your points are very valid Simon. Although I am still a bit down (stressing might not be the best word) because people are already not getting their 2NL for the month they went current in (including probably me). Maybe a month isn't that big a deal but I guess for me after finally getting...

Thanks, will do and will post how it goes.

Sorry did you post a reply? I can't see it, just the quoted text from my post.

Email KCC or the Sydney consulate? No, I haven't. I thought about waiting a couple of weeks calling KCC to check all was good with my DS260. I wasn't sure whether an email asking about 2NLs would be very helpful but I will do so if you think it'll help.

I'm starting to get depressed about the 2NL situation. Based on what people are saying, it looks like no more are being sent for November interviews. I got pretty excited when my number went current and knew I'd submitted my DS260 pretty early on (25 May) so I was definitely expecting a November...

That was me last year, and look at me now! Don't give up. Patience will be your best friend to getting through this process.

Ok stupid question, but are all of you receiving your 2NLs by mail or by email? I presumed it was by email but some of you are mentioning the postal mail so I just want to confirm.
