DV 2015 Oceania winners

The July VB number is quite low - 1325. 125 behind the same time last year.

I'm 100 away from going current and the last two months have only gone up by 75. It may just be nervousness but I'm not feeling confident at this point. Methinks only a 50/50 chance now.
 
Good luck @guestgulkan !

I'm at 16xx and am thinking it's almost certain we won't get an interview. So I'm not sure whether to even move forward with preparations e.g. police check, medical...

Any other highish CNs around? What's your plan of action?

Fingers crossed for you @guestgulkan . I'm sure you'll get there though with a couple of months left to go.
 
Q: If I already have a SSN from working the the U.S. Before, upon arrival can you begin work immediately or do you have to wait for the actual green card which could take several months to arrive before you can begin work?

That is correct - although some employers may not understand the endorsement of the stamped visa acting as your temporary Green Card. So - you might need to explain that if they are diligent about the I9 procedures (most are not).
 
As per below . This hold up at the embassy has cost us our POE trip . Was planning to fly out on the 16 and be back on the 27. Can't go now as I need to be here in July due to my job . Random bad luck I say !!image.jpg

It is bad luck..but I guess this is why they always emphasize that you shouldn't book non refundable tickets until you have a visa in hand.

Its not just NZ btw: http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english/news/technological-systems-issue.html

Yeah luckily I had the tickets blocked and not booked. The inconvenience is more around the fact that I am struggling to get time off and these dates would have been ideal for me to go over and get SSN sorted . Mainly to apply for jobs before the big move
