Congrats on getting approved! Do you mind sharing what the interview process was like for you?

The PDF you linked to only serves to illustrate the physical security features of the paper the certificate is printed on eg. embossing, watermarks, invisible ink - nothing else :) The QR code is printed, hence it doesn't appear on the PDF. To get the fingerprint + name check you can only apply...

Congrats!

2NL received this morning! OC9XX DS260 submitted mid-September Interview: London Embassy, 4 December It's really happening :eek:

Same. Looks like my application was received last Tuesday and the money came out the next day, but I haven't had a confirmation or receipt.

It's a bit alarming to say the least, and on top of that they want originals in some cases. I'm also wondering if it's specific to the Sydney consulate? I'll be curious to see if London has introduced the same rule...

Yep, I asked for it be posted here as it's where I plan to have my interview. I'm worried about the turnaround time too - I can see via tracking that my posted application has been in stuck in Sydney and undelivered since last week!

Not yet, I sent the package off a couple of weeks ago. I'll report back when I do.

On the postal application form (found on the AFP site) it says: Fingerprints can be taken by your local police jurisdiction or the AFP. I made an appointment at a nearby Met office here in London and was able to get them done there.

I guess I'm just wary of being away longer than 6 months at any point and being questioned about abandoning the GC, and because of that I wanted to give myself room to ensure my final move was within 6 months of my activation trip.

Hi DV gurus, I'm OC9XX and I still haven't submitted my DS-260 because I hadn't expected my number to become current until early next year, and I wanted to manage the timeline as best I could due to my job and rental agreement. Assuming everything went smoothly, the goal was to leave for the...

I got selected! I've applied numerous times over the years. I was selected around 2014 but I didn't follow through because my case number was quite high and also, I wasn't prepared in many ways. But things are different now, and my case number is OC9XX. This is a decent number, right?

Don't worry Kellie :) I'm DV2015OC000021XX... I think I can take the Highest OC CN crown for now! I'll eagerly be following the DV2014 results to try and gauge how DV2015 might play out. I'm hopeful, but tempering that hopefulness... And I guess it's better to be in with any kind of chance that...

Hi all DV2015 selectee here... I don't want to say "Winner" just yet. Some back story: I've been applying since 2005 (bar 1 year when I simply forgot somehow) and have become accustomed to being unsuccessful. On a whim this morning I decided to check to confirm for another year that I wasn't...

From what I have gathered, there are cases of people in Australia (OC region) receiving their NLs (for 2005) in early April - whether it happens again this year is anybody's guess. For everybody else it's from May onwards.
