I'd agree with this. Australian property -- especially in Sydney and Melbourne -- is valued well in excess of market fundamentals. Unless you're buying in NYC or SF, it might be worthwhile to sell up and eat the FX loss. I'm also of the opinion that the AUD has a lot further to fall; I'm...

It's not down -- they're just warning you it might be glitchy. I completed and submitted my forms over the past couple of days.

Well, 2016 forms are submitted. Crazy sense of deja vu. Though the 'are you coming to practise polygamy' question gave me as good a chuckle this time around as last. Now comes the wait. Any bets on the first VB? I'm going with 200.

Me too! Actually, I'm gunning for 'no tail'.

Oh wow. Great news for the 1400 people! I'd have missed out by around 70 but fortune smiled :) So happy for you, GG. You can start paying Uncle Sam those taxes again. Where are you headed?

Good luck to high-numbered DV2015 folks! Especially you, GG. What a year.

That's a very good point. In OC 2015, more than a third of selectees wanting to take up visas will be out in the cold. It'd be much better to not be selected and just get on with things.

I'd say that there's a very good chance. But it's wise not to preempt anything in this process!

Yeah, I'm really holding out for you, matey. I really hope it happens. I got a second run round the block but I think I know what you're feeling right now. :(

I haven't yet. I really should, though. Truth is that last year I did it straight away. But this year, being at the back of the queue has made me more circumspect about the whole thing. I know it's probably a silly concern, but, hilariously, 900 is a high number in 2016. High numbers have a...

My friend, sometimes people get tired. Simon does us all a favour -- surely we can wait a few more hours before he helps us yet again.

DV2015 will always have a place in my heart! Even though it's been working hard to break it...

I know the feeling.

Ah ha.

True, but haven't holes per CN been consistent over the past couple of years? With any luck!

It's difficult to say. I think the starting number has more to do with how many ds260s are ready to go by the time they publish the bulletin. The pace of progress, on the other hand, probably has more to do with the quota for this year. Regarding the gaps, I'd say <8% of the case numbers are...

Indeed! Vive le differénce.

I felt more unsafe in an Arizona cinema than I did in the Bronx. Angry young boys flying off the rails with AR-15s is not my idea of a positive cultural milieu.

Interesting to see a lot of folks here (and in the 2015 thread) shooting for the Lone Star State. I was expecting more prospective New Yorkers or Angelinos...

Excellent! You'll look like your twitter avatar in no time :D Meanwhile, the real riders just get on with it...
