I'd consider contacting your consulate. Better to be pro-active than miss out due to clerical error.

The selection process itself would already be completed. The information becomes publicly available from May 5th via the DV-Lottery website. You can check your status at any time from that date. I believe, in years gone by (although not in any recent years to the best of my knowledge), a second...

Yeeah - I wasn't quite THAT enthusiastic when I was selected in 2014, but I can definitely remember the excitement. Would have killed for a 900 number though ('cause 2100 just didn't cut it).

As Sm1smom has said, you won't be able to get a re-entry permit arranged with only 1 week in the US. May want to arrange a plan-B in regards to wrapping up your affairs within that 12 months.

How long are you planning on staying for your activation visit? Yes, the re-entry permit (Form I-131) has to be applied for whilst in the US. Apparently it can take 6-8 weeks to get your biometrics appointment for the re-entry permit. USCIS states application form should be submitted no sooner...

I considered revealing my pre-selection number in there (Sensei-san style), but figured I'd make people jealous with such a low CN :P Decided to go with the optimistic approach instead.

+1 - Forgot to add this point.

The official requirements don't mention anything about validity of the certificate, only: So I guess the only issue may surround the "Cover the entire period of the applicant's residence in that area" part, in that if the certificate is too old, it may be deemed to not cover a sufficiently...

Why would you have to go to Sydney for your medical? Is there no suitable doctors where you are?

Dead sir? Oh no sir! No no no - she's pining sir. Pining for the fjords!

Apparently more common than you'd think. Our daughter has it (to a degree) - we call her our little parrot. She also repeats statements over and over - sometimes keeps going until we point out to her that she's "looping".

OMG!!! I've been on this forum for a few years now, and in all that time I have never seen SusieQQQ to be any but positive, supportive, humorous and more than friendly to pretty much everyone. On the other hand Rose, in the short time that I have seen you on this forum, all I've seen is someone...

Wow, perhaps they need to add "have a sense of humor" as a DV entry requirement.

Oh shoot!! Well, probably for the best. We know that all Americans are red, white and blue blooded God fearing folk. They'd probably resurrect the Salem witch trials just for me if I did get preselected.

So did I for a minute.

Welcome Fiona, to the thread and the forums.

If previous years Oceania threads are anything to go by, you're probably right. I'm aiming for a CN in the first 150 or so, so I can have an October interview. Best of luck to everyone else :)

Wow - added frustration on top of the existing suspense. KCC sure knows how to keep everyone on the back-foot.
