    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    These guys might be able to help you: http://www.ustaxcentral.com I own a place in the States and the tax can get messy. I've only just started working with them, so can't fully endorse them.

    You know, you're damn right. So I'll have to wind tight over something else then. Maybe a new hobby like underwater spelunking or shark patting.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    I'd say I'm a hundred above you... though yes, I'm going to want a beer, one way or another! I actually get the feeling that if my number ever goes current, the relief will relax every muscle in my body to the extent that my heart will stop beating and the whole business will have been for naught.

    I look just like my avatar. Cropped out my feet, though.

    Emily I noticed you have a column for DS-260 submitted dates. Thought I might put some stats in the mill: I submitted first on the 19th of May, then updated (if that makes a difference) on the 23rd of July. Rock on.

    February 2015 Visa Bulletin Published

    I was praying for 900 (or even 950) for OC, but this isn't too bad. EU is barrelling along. The AF numbers are tight though.

    And I feel for the low cn folks who thought they had a lot of wriggle room with submitting their forms. Anyway, forgot to thank you for your outstanding work crunching all these numbers. Gives me the luxury to get on here and moan. Vive l'indolence.

    You bet! :) I'm sounding grumpier than I am. It's a lottery. Whaddayagonnado?

    You can be the nice one. I'll be telling them to get off my lawn.

    That would be tremendously frustrating! My hope is that with OC the numbers are so low that they are prone to fluctuate, as they seem to have done over the past few years. A borderline case number means a really teeth-gritting year. I still mutter occasionally about KCC's blasé attitude in...

    That's... very sad. So we can expect a much higher density of selectees per cn than last year. Damn.

    DV 2015 Oceania winners

    The thing is, though, that if DV4ROGER's quota calculation is accurate then we're cruising for a cutoff number somewhere between 1540 (which would be sad) and 1675. Assuming, that is, that we have the same density as last year -- a pretty safe bet. So if we stay between 100 and 225 above last...

    I'm restricted to the North East (Vermont, NYC, Massachusetts) and Chicago: they're the only places wealth-redistribut-y enough for me. Strangely, they seem to attract large numbers of rich people who drive up the cost of housing. Go figure :p

    850 would have been much more comforting.

    Good news for Europe! Not so good for OC.

    It's a tough and testing process, especially if you want it badly. Feels.

    Further to what Susie has said, it's about density. The density of issuance last year was such that the OC visa quota ran out at CN=1448. There is no reason to believe the density has or will go down: the US is becoming a more attractive place to live. We get a higher quota this year, but not...
