I also think its wise to have a pessimistic outlook. There's no point hanging around for a year and a half just to find out you have no chance of getting a green card even though you've been picked in the lottery. Above 1500, I think it's wise to make other plans and if your number looks like...

Thinking I possibly should have taken up that J1 visa when I had the chance... Never the less, based on the failure of my DV chances this year (18**) off to Britain in 3 months time to live for two years! Should be fun, I've never been outside of Australasia. But sorry to hear about the lack...

I put off moving to the UK earlier this year to wait and see what happened with this. I guess I could look at it like a waste of time, but I got a good new job in NZ while I waiting so not all is lost. And the UK is still there for me now. Is it wise to keep trying with this? I'm not sure. It...

Well it was a nice ride but not cigar this year. Sorry to anyone disappointed with the cut off, if you were making plans surrounding it. The number was 1450 for those who haven't seen it yet.

Updated my sig

Any one know how long we've gotta wait for this next bulletin?

Well who knows maybe it'll go to 2200! The universe doesn't like to waste peoples time I hear.

I've got a feeling the next bulletin's gonna be like 2000. Based on no fact at all. Just a gut instinct

Huh, the old forums are back eh. Probably happened a while ago. Well hey everyone! I hear we're up to 1450 for June bulletin? When life gives you lemons eh...

Just get past 1820 OC and make my patience worthwhile.. though will most likely accept I'll be entering again this year

I do hope the information, threads from the last forum are brought over here. It was really comforting to have all that information at hand, answers to previous posts I and other people had put up, going through the dv process. Oh well, hopefully we can get a Australia DV 2014 thread back up soon!

Sweet, cheers Simon. How soon before the cancelled interviews did people know that their interviews were scheduled?

Interviews are scheduled 2 months in advance of the interview date, is that right? So the last people to have interviews Sept will be notified August?

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a re-entry permit? Say from applying to biometrics? It's my understanding you can leave after your biometrics are done and they can send the re-entry permit to an embassy overseas

Possibly stupid question, but say you go over to the UK but are entered in the Oceania lottery (and Auckland's your local consulate), can you some how organize for another city such as London to become the consulate where you have your interview?

It's true all these visa bulletin threads are confusing. Maybe I'm just a little slow, but it'd be good if there was a main visa bulletin thread which collects all these discussions. What visa bulletin are we currently waiting for? Are the results out for a recent one? And they're announcing...

Haha yup I live in Auckland. That's sweet man I'm in a similiar industry, did a Bachelor of Arts in Media, Communications and been working an entry level job at the NZ radio/television company Mediaworks. Considered journalism from time to time, I enjoy writing and entry level media work isn't...

Been reading your blog Crawf33, it's good stuff. Good to see the reality of what living over there is like. How'd you get into journalism just thought I'd ask?

Yeah re-entry visa, that's what I meant, thanks for that. Sorry for more stupid questions but do you have to do the medical in the country where you are having the consulate interview? Or say you're overseas can you get the medical done there and take the results back in time for the interview...

Two questions; In regards to the medical, what vaccinations should one be getting? I had a blood test recently and my hepatitis c immunization was low so may have to get a vaccination for that I'm sure. Also how far in advance could one do the medical? In regards to the re-entry visa, how long...
