The first time you submit your DS260 it can take 2-3 months to process and you can't be scheduled for an interview without your form being processed. Minor changes that necessitate unlocking the DS260 don't require the form to be re-processed and hence, will not affect the scheduling of your...

Congratulations to all of you! Hoping Class of 2016 will follow suit. :D

Welcome! The cut off for November interviews is 400 and there is probably zero chance the cut off for December will be in the 600s. So your interview will more than likely be in the new year - I would guess maybe Feb/March. To update your location I assume you'd probably have to contact KCC and...

Considering having proof that you successfully completed high school is essential for being eligible for DV, I would unlock it and write it down.

Thanks Emily!

Hi all, does this list of vaccinations required for immigrant visas look up to date to you guys? http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/vaccinations.html Is there anything missing/anything listed you didn't end up needing?

Yeah, 2NL's for October interviews came out a couple of weeks ago. Depending on when you submitted, you can look forward to a November interview. :)

I feel so bad for DV winners who haven't discovered this forum yet. They must feel so in the dark. And here we all are on our thrones with our bastions of knowledge.

Yup, I expect the same, but I still think OC will go current earlier than September. Depends on when you submitted the DS260. From what we saw last month, people who had submitted by the end of May and had gone current managed to get in for an October interview, so there seems to be about a...

Thank you Gods of Department of State for listening to my prayers. Feels good to be current!

Great report and congratulations!!!! Those AP stories are painful to read and were probably even more painful to witness in real life. I have second hand embarrassment reading about Chris Farley's twin. Hilarious that you were the most dressed up, but unsurprising. Back in 2013 when I...

Congratulations!!! Interesting that you mention they asked to see savings - as it seems most people interviewing at Sydney don't get asked. Did the CO make any other comments about that?

Are we expecting another inflated number for the next VB? I'm anticipating 375 or 400 (hopefully the latter! :eek:)

Cheers Simon, good to know.

I've managed to answer my own question in case there's anyone else out there driving themselves bonkers by looking at the exchange rate and possibly looking to jump the gun and exchange already ! I realise now I can open a foreign currency account with Commonwealth (and presumably the other...

Does anybody know what (hopefully inexpensive!) options there for converting AUD to USD while still living in Aussie? And if I also don't have a US bank account? I'm beginning to consider converting some of my money because watching the dollar drop every day is just agonizing and I have very...

Yes, some people in another thread are also getting the same error message. I would just try again later, the website is probably overloaded. :) Congrats on going current! The rest of us are looking to you and everyone else interviewing in October for a recap of the experience! :D

Do you mean they want to enter the upcoming DV lottery? It usually opens the beginning of October, but the exact dates haven't been announced yet. Or do you mean they were selected for DV2016 and now need to submit their DS260?

2NL's for October interviews have not been sent out yet, they should be coming in the next few days. But only expect the 2NL if both your CN has gone current and if your DS260 was submitted early enough to be processed by now.
