August visa bulletin the final.

Dear flolks in this priceless forum....regarding the interviews, are they schedualed in an order parallel to CN order only or also according to the availability in the embassy ? For example, my # is near middle of AS 11***, this probably means I will be interviewed near the latter third of August, but the embassy in my country is not a busy one (it is in the middle east, as far as i expect it is not in an area of large amount of selectees), does it make my interview a bit earlier than late august?
Thanks for your help guys

Interview schedule is done by embassy and not in KCC. So it is up to the embassy and if the embasssy is not busy your interview will be earlier even your case # is higher compare to those in a busy embassy.

You can pick up your phone, call KCC and if they have the numbers they will give them to you. Other visas than DV are published in the bulletin too, so even if they have DV numbers they have to wait until all visa numbers are in. Then they publish the bulletin.

Well look to easy Franko, thank for your advice, but I still do not getting, if they already have the Cutt off # for DV case why they do not publish yet, you say that for other category like family and work visa they do not have yet that # is that what you mean? I hope that I get your point but I still have my doubt sorry!

Egypt has 5757 selectees in dv2014 its heavy loaded that's why the pace is slow compare to dv2013.

You are correct. They have to have data for all categories to publish the bulletin.

As for Aussies wanting to go to America, why should we not be given the chance to move to and work in America just like everyone else? No where did I read in the process that a requirement was to come from a poorer county or one torn a part by civil war and such. I absolutely agree that in general we have a comfortable life here in Australia, however I am pretty sure there are people in Europe who earn more than me who have applied and completed the DV ( cough cough simon cough cough) and strangely no one begrudges them the opportunity. I am sure there are people in the African continent that have a much higher standard of living than your every day aussie who have applied for and successfully completed the DV lottery. So to say "why bother" or "its better in Australia" is just plain ignorant. Yes I am sure there are people from OC who have applied just for laughs but I am sure that is true of many other places as well.

The good news is that there is a visa category reserved only for Australians to live and work in the USA. I don't think there is such an option for any other nationality

All true, but humans are maximisers. With the prospect of significantly reduced QoL, who can blame Aussies for desperately wanting out?

The future, in terms of consumer goods and even catalysts for crime, looks bleak.

Australia is about the fall off an economic cliff with little hope of recovery. We have no large industries to pull us back up. There is very little research or value-add production in Australia, and there's no prospect of that starting. It's just not a priority for our government or the bulk of our population. We produce legions of design engineers, for instance, but those who stay in Australia don't design anything -- they simply become managers. Our only substantial exports are primary products. We have a few mines, most of which are foreign owned, and none of which are large employers -- even in 'flow-on' industries. We have agriculture, but are undercut by developing countries and fenced out with tariffs.

Most people are employed in low-to-middle skilled jobs in administration (including accounting, management and low-end 'white-collar' jobs), hospitality and human services; all of which are exposed to bottomless downward wage pressure. It's entirely conceivable that five years from now, the median Australian will have a small fraction of the purchasing power he or she does now. We're going to see a large disenfranchised, undereducated, exurban working poor. They'll be commuting hours to work in poorly-paid jobs and won't be able to afford the basics. Many will choose to opt out and we'll see the social costs of that.

It's not going to be pretty. Sure, it won't be civil war, but it will be a large reduction in quality of life in this country. Many folks want 'out' to realise their potential and to make good on expensive educations. There's no good in dismissing them.

Have you explored the E3 visa option. This is a category for Australians ONLY with a quota of 10500 each year to work an live in the USA. It's not permanent but there seems to be an option to change status. Spouses can work too. At least this provides a clear pathway for Australians to utilise their educations and is exclusively for Aussies. Not too bad

Not too bad is an understatement. E3 is fantastically easy, allows working spouse and the quota is huge. No lawyer needed also. Beats my H1 hands down (which ended up costing well over 10k and over 1 year)
 
Can't anyone call and ask from them (KCC) up to which CN are they expecting to cover on next VB ? actually i cannot understand their accent.... Also my loving Australian friends... why are you trying to leave ur country? It is a perfect country to live...Lot of Sri Lankans are there... If i fail to get DV visa, my next option is Australia. I'm trying my best to be abroad.... I think KCC will give more visas to rest of AS......

Egypt reaches the limit of 7%. Where he cuts, I do not know. But I think it will make the KCC.
