2014 DV Australian winners

I am living in Melbourne. How about you? Where you go to for National Police Check and medical exam?
 
Its terrible news, I am trying to remain positive with this all but I really am struggling with it at the moment. Disappointed.
 
If they continue on this way we wont even reach 1500. I cannot for the life of me work out what "Oceania" has done to bring about these sort of numbers.

So far they have only called 16% of winners in for interview.
 
It's my understanding (based on a phone conversation I had with a very nice lady at the KCC) that these monthly cut-offs are set by the consulate in each country/region, rather than by the KCC itself. Is that right?

IheartNY, I was wondering, where did you get that number from? The official bulletin isn't on the website yet, so did you get that number by calling KCC?

Please now disregard my above question, IheartNY -- I've since read Britsimon's other thread and I guess that's where you got the number.
 
Thanks as always for your diligence, britsimon!

Assuming the numbers keep increasing at this dismal rate, and with my rank # in the low 800s, I'm predicting to be notified in April (correct?). Could anyone tell me roughly when my interview might then be scheduled? I'm bridesmaid at a wedding overseas in August and I'm *petrified* of the interview and the wedding coinciding!
 
Scorpio more than likely you will be current in march which mesons you will have your interview in March.

Sort of. KCC control the process centrally, but they receive input on progress and demand from the regions - so the consulates can feedback that they can handle more or less interviews, and KCC would take that into account.

With a number like low 1300's, when would you see us becoming current?
I'm sort of hoping July.:)

I am thinking MAY and definately hoping you will NOT be current in July, with 4100 applicants for the 1300's to be current in July would be disastrous.

Oh right, for some reason I had thought there was roughly 2 months between notification and the actual interview. So you reckon that the two occur in the same month?

There are two months between the notification and interview. Right now we just got the figures for the January bulletin which gives the cut off for February. So people wil get their 2NL in the next week or two (in December) for February appointments. Since you will be current in March, you will be getting your 2nl in about 6 weeks from now.

So actualy consuates and ambassies are playing a role in the cut offs,
