2011 DV Lottery Winners from Australia Report Here!
- Thread starter USA Dream
- Start date
Hey Guys/Girls,
Just wondering whether anyone with an AUS address has recieved a notification letter yet? I have read in another post that a NZ citizen has recieved one at a US Adress, but that is about all I have heard for the Oceania region in general. Has anyone heard anything in addition to that?
Best of Luck.

Hi Trusty and others 
We have an OC winner!!! My husband received his letter today!
We live in Sydney but he used my country of birth, New Zealand to enter (as he is Canadian by birth). I am so excited I've just given myself a headache, lol.
Strangely enough, it was postmarked from Sweden. I had actually just about given up hope but maybe they're just going to take a while to get here??
Also, it may be of interest that the letter itself was dated May 03 and the case number is 2011OC000011**
I will add a proper signature when i have calmed down and can figure it out - can't wait to meet others here!!!!!!
Good luck everyone!

Congratulations TamaraM!
Finally the letters are crossing the Ocean. Hopefully next week we will have more winners.
The postmark is correct. Most people living outside of North America have received the letter from Sweden. I think KCC gets a better price from Swedish mail, as they have to mail tens of thousands of letters abroad. Only people living in US appear to be receiving letter by US mail.

Congrats you guys.... that is AWESOME news!
I am from OZ and I am hopeful also
Does anyone know the usual wait for an interview? i have just got my NL and my number is under 200, so how many months would i expect to wait for my interview?
And is there any aussies who have done the interview process and been asked for the proof of funds?
Im worried if my number is small i wont have enough time to get all my documents together in time

Congratulations Mandys!!
You have a low CN so be prepared for your interview to be as early as October. You have 4 months to get your documents in order. You should get your 2nd letter from KCC about 6 weeks before your interview date with instructions on starting your medical. Some people are asked for proof of funds and some aren't, I would get it just in case. maybe you can start asking family or friends who are US residents/citizens for an affidavit of support. Again use this time wisely..Good Luck.

Congratulations Beech & to all other fellow Australians who have received their first NL!! I am so so excited and happy for you!!
This is my first post, I have been reading the forum for some time now and thought I would finally register. I have entered the DV-2011 and so desperately want to be one of the lucky ones!! Still crossing my fingers.
Great to hear the letters have finally started making their way downunder.
Congrats again!

No way Beech1814! I have been reading your posts for a while now and could see how much you wanted this, lol! Fantastic news! Looking forward to following your journey...
Congrats Mandys also!
Good luck leahsmg
Thank you so much TamaraM..... I know there is still a process - to be honest - I am a little nervous... but this forum is wonderful and FULL of help....
Thanks very much kimandgaz - fingers crossed tightly for you...is this your first year or have you entered before?
Beech1814 - we are nervous too, as are most I'd guess! Add 2 children and a dog into the mix and I think there are some interesting times ahead, lol. I notice your number is rather low so I will be stalking your posts for details!
A question already: does anyone know how long after being issued with the visas at the interview we have to pack up and enter the U.S. by??
Many thanks for any help,
TamaraM
