Ah well, with a number in the 2800 range I think it's acceptable to now say I'm f**ked haha. Good thing I got my approved LCA the other day, just need to schedule my interview now for the E3. Wanted to hold off until this months bulletin, wasn't expecting it to be so bad. For those that...

Congratulations and best of luck to you and your hubby, hoping it all goes smooth for you. I'm curious to hear back on this, as I have sent KCC an email about it. I have entered the US three times since submitting the forms (August, December, January) and will be over there again next week.

So the general consensus now is that OC will go current? Hope so, with a CN slightly over 2800 I'm getting worried.

DV2015 will be the 12th year applying for me. Got selected in DV2014 but with a very high case number.

Thanks Tony, and best of luck to you too. Hopefully were both reflecting back on this in September and realise we were worried about nothing :)

As strange as it may sound, I have always just found the US a better fit for myself on a personal level. I don't have any tie downs in Australia, very minimal family, my profession was born in the US and it is a lot more dynamic, progressive and cutting edge in the US so naturally I would rather...

Yep, know the feeling - DV2014 was my 11th year applying. I still remember the excitement I had when I logged in on the 1st May (at about 5am) and saw the "You have been randomly selected..." message. Instantly realised the CN was high, didn't realise how bad it was though. I just assumed OC...

It aids me in resigning to the fact that more than likely I have stuff all chance of getting a green card in this DV :) Disappointing, but such is life. Will wait and see how it plays out, but I cannot see any plausible way the cutoff will get to 2800. Ah well - got the application in for...

Depends on what state you currently live in. NSW - http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_us/structure/specialist_operations/forensic_services/criminal_records_section QLD - http://www.police.qld.gov.au/services/purchase/polcert.htm ACT -...

Wow, that is a high number - I think you are the highest on here now (I'm in the low 2800's). Assuming Oceania goes current like previous years, it'll probably be in September.

Good to hear - Oceania cutoff for October seems to fluctuate between 250 - 350 over the last 10 years, so if she is saying its highly likely you'll be up in October it builds my confidence having one of the higher case numbers that has been seen. Just sent off an email to KCC asking for...

I don't think there is a huge rush at the moment - as mentioned to you in a PM, I did it so quickly to just get it out of the way. It's out of my hands now - whatever is meant to happen will happen :) I didn't - I wrote "Not yet known - to be advised" for the US addresses. I have a friend in...

Got mine done at one of the photo shops/kiosks in the local shopping mall that advertised international passport photos (and specifically mentioning the US). They took my photo and $15, 20 minutes later I had four 2x2 inch photos with no borders. Use yellowpages.com.au to find the photo shops...

The key for me is not letting it take over my life - until the interview letter happens its life as per normal for me. Just packed away the jetski for the end of this summer season, working my *** off doing a job i love,have a Perisher season pass and am looking forward to winter in a few weeks...

It's not a matter of "over ruling", its a legislative requirement to have either completed Year 12 or have 2 years experience in the last 5 years in a qualifying occupation. I didn't finish year 12 but have 10 years experience in a qualifying occupation. So not too sure how you will fare...

I don't think they will penalize you for too much information :) Better than not putting enough in to start with and getting denied for some reason. The additional sheet I attached was for employment history for the last 10 years, where for the last 6 years I have worked the same job but my...

I sent off all my paperwork about an hour ago. Included the following documents; Selection Letter Form DSP-122 Form DSP-230 Part I (With an extra sheet attached as I ran out of space for last 10 years employers) Form DSP-230 Part II (Unsigned) Two photographs, 2 inch by 2 inch...

Having spent a few hours going over the visa bulletins for the last few years, I think we're fine. Oceania region cutoff goes into "Current" by August each year, which means they have enough visas allocated remaining for everyone selected that hasn't been processed (to my understanding).

I'll throw my hand up. Case number is 2014OC000028xx, which I think is the highest so far. Not overly comfortable with such a high number, but its out of my hands - see how we go :) Should be posting the forms back to KCC tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone, So I am one of the lucky ones who got selected for DV2014 with a case number of 2014OC000028xx. I am just trying to get my head around the wording and meaning of the Visa Bulletins. If I take a look at the May 2012 cut-off number for OC it is 1,150 so obviously my number...
