Myself and my partner both got selected in Oceania for Dv2015, both of us 2000+ and then dv2016 both unsuccessful, so after all of this we are back to the drawing board with nothing on the table DV wise.

Hi All. Looks like some good work going on here. I have only started paying attention but am I reading it right that we don't have any successful people yet from the results released earlier today?? Each year seems to be some form of system issue.

Hi All, I haven't visited in ages, I checked my DV2016 this morning and no luck, I was actually selected for DV2015 with a Case number is the mid 2100's for Oceania so I gave up on being selected for further processing on that about October last year, as it was obvious they had hugely over...

As much as I would love to think Oceania will go current I have given up on 2015 and made other plans, I think I am selected in last 50-100 so give myself maybe 1 or 2% chance of being called up. Oceania would need a huge dramatic increase in visas to get all the way up to OC2250 which I think...

Same here, I thought with December a increase of less than 100 as its typical been a slow month probably due to embassy closures over Christmas period. I am off in just over 2 weeks to Chicago and Miami on the good old Visa Waiver, hopefully for the last time on that visa!!!

Well looks like we jumping from 500 to 650, not a bad increase of 150 I hope they keep that pace up.

Haha I know, just poking fun, I think its only a outside chance 2015 will go current or beyond 1700

Dam..........didn't go current :D

This will probably mean very little movement in case numbers for Oceania in the October visa bulletin? Maybe only 50?

Yeah make sure you keep entering, I visited Toronto in a heatwave in 2012 and just loved it, I know winter is tough but its tough in New York, Chicago, Detroit etc, I was reading up on the student visa as well this week, well done.

Working holiday visa??

I I was surprised at opening it at 400, sometimes they do tend to race out of the blocks then slow it up. I am going to put my money on 550.

Thanks for this, I thought I read ages ago that it could be extended for up to 1 year maximum?

Here is a question, if you want to stay in America for between 6-12months and have a B Visa can you apply to extend your stay before you enter. Reason being I am thinking if I don't get a Green Card ill just go over anyway and use the money saved for some time off and maybe explore other...

OH well, at least we got some conversation going again, its gone a bit dead in here for a few days. I do hope we hear about DV2016 dates soon. Anyone got John Kerry's number handy? Could give him a call about getting Oceania current for November :D

E3 is a great visa for Australians, and we also have the J visa for those who complete a degree as well I guess. I was shocked that both myself and my partner got selected this year but both got crazy high case numbers, thankfully understanding the full process now and seeing the disaster of...

I understand the reason to over select for those who don't pursue it and those that don't meet the criteria, but it seems very much a lottery within a lottery, you get those with low case numbers who choose not to pursue it, and those with high case numbers who would love to pursue it but miss...

Do you think their over selection for all regions is purely to ensure 100% of visas are used? It seems like up to DV2014 it wasn't broken (aside from the 2012 screw up) so don't get the jump from 105k to 140k back to 125k, I guess for dv2016 if they reduce the selection further it might show it...

I am sure there was more to it than thinking if we select 4000 people then we will achieve our main objective of allocating all visas, but I am sure the KCC don't want endless phone calls from those who get no interview, the jump from 105k selected to 140k in 2014 and back down to 125k for 2015...

Just cause I am bored and no one has made a comment in a while, I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on what went on with DV2014 for Oceania, and if the fact that it closed so low if it will have any impact on DV2015, what do we think they will cut off the numbers for November will be? Just...
