DV 2015 Oceania winners

Well its nearly November. Another VB out soon. Champing at the bit to see what January's number is. Historically it not a big jump that one but who knows. I got my 260 in by early june but I unlocked it in october so god knows how that will affect me.. with a number in the late 700's im expecting February at the earliest. Hope my unlocked form gets reprocessed by then.

I almost forgot about the next VB with all the excitement of late! Still very keen to see what the next jump is
 
I'm realistic that it might be May before we get an interview, but I am optimistic that it might be earlier.

There's never been a 150 jump between December and January historically. I suspect it might go to 725 or 750 for January.
 
You reckon? That'd be super sweet. Good vibes and prepared OCers is what's getting us all through I reckon, so Imma take those good vibes of yours and wish like crazy!
 
Side comment here but after reading it in the last couple of posts, the word reckon is a distinctly Aussie/Kiwi thing (maybe British too but not 100%). I had an American mate who always commented on my use of the word.
 
My american mates comment on everything I say. I have to speak with an American accent sometimes in frustration so they know what im talking about. Eg. Pawn and porn. They are both said the same to me.

Hi Guys,

Just letting you all know that I had my interview this morning in Sydney and I got my visa. it was a piece of cake. Only issues were was that there was about 10 of us doing the same thing which means the whole process took about 90 minutes and also the credit card machine broke down, luckily I had cash with me, a lot of others didnt and had to go back downstairs. The interview itself was super chilled and just what Id expected. So my only advise if you have all your docs sorted is to just make sure you take $363 in cash, write your address on the 3kg express envelope, dont stress and take a bottle of water with you as this isnt any on level 59.

If anyone has any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

Thanks to anyone that has helped me out on this whole process.

Congratulations, that's very exciting and great to hear your news!!
 
The status check page won't load on my PC, can someone please check if it's my PC or the website? I just want to check one more time for a Dec interview date even though I know it will probably be January.
 
I have been spending a lot of time on the City Data Forum trying to work out the best place to live. Here is one of my threads...

Crawf, I know you lived in Denver for a while and now you are in Maine. What's Colorado really like? We did 30 States when we went on a big road trip but didn't go to Colorado. We were all set to move there and now I'm a little worried about the elevation and having trouble adjusting. Also it's arid with not many trees?? Not sure if you are still reading but I would really appreciate your opinion.

I'm not Crawf or Aussie but I think colorado is amazing. It doesn't take long to adjust to the elevation. Plenty trees at least where we were (denver and near). Really friendly people, reasonable property prices, amazing outdoorsy lifestyle. It would have been our second choice after the Bay Area.
 
@CC1 - Congratulations! You mentioned in your list of order of docs that medical stuff came last. I was wondering what medical documentation did you take? I thought that the visa medical doctor forwarded all the relevant documentation directly to the Sydney consulate? The only docs I have are the vaccines records and chest x-rays that Dr Waks said should be carried with us at POE. Or have I confused things :( TIA!

So... a friend of mine in Colorado has offered me a job in my industry . If I get a letter stating as much from her does anyone know if that helps my chances? Im hoping so. I am really getting hopeful now.
 
I reckon that just might seal the deal! Good on you Deb, you good thing. That's what I love about the OCers is their ingenuity and determination. I reckoln if you go into the interview confident and with all relevant documentation, it would be harder for them to say no than it is to say yes.

Blondie, what the heck happened in that other thread where you were lectured on your eligibility? Terribly random. o_O
