    Thanks all. Its been quite a ride. A roller coaster of hopes raised and dashed and frustration, confusion and a tantrum or 2 lol. :rolleyes: I think the cut off will be around 1700. Hopefully I'll get selected for DV16 and then I'll see you all here again :) I just hope whomever was...

    Yeah that is the drawback exactly. Its hard to make any plans with that hanging over your head. The job Im in could end at any moment so getting the E3 is just the start of a journey for me. Im grateful though. My F1 status was about to expire in a few weeks and I would have had to pack up my...

    I'll keep applying for the lottery. So much more flexibility with the green card vs the E3. I just hope if I win again I get a low CN. I don't think I can take another year like we've just had. lol.

    I know right! It was touch and go there for a bit. Im now sitting in my hotel room in Barbados (I interviewed at the consulate in Barbados) staring out across white sands and turquoise water and trying to relax a bit after a Sh*tstorm of stress this past year!

    Just wanted to let the Australians with high CNs know that my E3 visa was approved today. I disclosed the DV win in my visa application. The consular officer didn't even ask me about it.

    How odd- an extra 4 selectees is nothing but an extra 23 family members is odd! A particularly fertile batch of selectees it seems!

    Lol I keep having that dream. That it cuts out at 2000 and I miss by a couple of spots. Oh the agony! I think the final cut off will be circa 1700. You'll just scrape in :)

    September VB - DV14 Last Chapter

    This is not the first time Raevsky has made wild accusations of fraudulent conduct against members of this forum (ask Sm1smom). Last time they got him banned from this site for a time. Im not sure what he's smoking but its made him paranoid and prone to seeing conspiracies around every corner...

    Thanks but I just logged into the booking system for Canadian consulates and for all of the consulates its saying either "no appointments are available at this time" or 100+ days till the next interview for an E3 visa. The times quoted are generally for Canadian nationals I think. Seems like my...

    The Dept of State sent the American Immigration Lawyers Association a memo earlier this month stating that due to current workloads the consulates in Canada won't be processing non immigrant visas for third party nationals over this summer (June-August). My immigration attorney told me.

    Hey Neko, where did you have your E3 interview? Im currently sitting in NYC waiting for mine to be processed via USCIS and its taking forever. Considering switching to consular processing if I can go somewhere cheaply but Ive heard that the Canadian consulates are not processing E3s at the moment.

    Arguing with ignorant people is a fool's errand, so I am just going to ask that you keep your inflammatory and racist views to yourself please.
