Don't think it's necessary to rock up too early. The Sydney consulate recommended not getting there earlier than 15 mins before.

Name check is fine, as long as all names you've ever used are listed.

Lol @ 850 cut off for OC! This is all gonna be over in a month or two! Why on earth did KCC under select so much this year, or was it just a goof?

Wow that happened so fast! Awesome.

Does anything happen to the rest of the visas? Will they be distributed to other regions at least? Seems like such a waste if not... I must say, even though it's been a couple of months since I got my visa, I'm getting a kick out of seeing "Issued" next to my number on the CEAC chart... :D...

Ah I didn't realize you were there already! Where abouts are you living? :) Funnily enough I think in Aus there are a lot of people including myself who barely even associate Christmas with Christianity so I've never thought much about who I say merry xmas to. I do like how the yanks say the...

Thanks Susie, good to know I won't have to worry about a tax return for the coming deadline.

Very exciting @EmilyW, looking forward to hearing how everything goes for you. I leave at the end of Feb which everybody I know thinks is "so soon," but it still feels like ages away to me! I'm absolutely itching to get there. I have a couple of questions I'm hoping one of the experts on here...

I know a DV2015 winner who said she had her depression brought up at her medical because she was on anti-depressant medication for it at the time. She did mention they checked up on it with her regular doctor - mainly to make sure she was not a harm to herself or others. Nonetheless, she still...

Wahoo!! Go get em, Doggie!

I've just booked flights too! I'm outta here on Feb 24. There's some decent one-way prices (around $730) to LA on Virgin Australia at the moment in late February if anyone else is making their POE at LAX around that time.

Woah, at this rate Oceania is gonna go current by May or June!

This will literally not matter at all as long as you've actually successfully finished high school.

For the case ID number, on my visa it's written as 2016OC3xx01. But on the front of the package it's 2016OC3xx. If you're possibly typing your case ID with an extra 01 or whatever at the end that could be why it's not working?

How frustrating! But I don't think it's because of Thanksgiving - I paid mine earlier today with no issues. You're using the alien number and case ID on the front of the package you got from the consulate right?

Same same, except probably in Feb/March, although I may change my mind to Los Angeles at the last minute... Then again, a part of me wants to move somewhere more obscure just because I can. :P

Awesome! And not yet. I might try sometime this week

Yay! When/where are you planning on making the move to? And how about all the other OC-ers as well? :)

Yep, that's the one - and they'll reply back with a thank you.

No picture is fine - no one in the DV category has a picture on their DS260.
