DV 2017 OC Selectees

Finally received my passport today with brown envelope.......ready for move in december.

Thought to share my experience, it might help someone. After receiving my 2NL, I started to collect all my documents.
First thing I did my fiji police clearance as it takes long, but this time I was quite surprise it didnt take that long and they communicated very well.
After that I did my NZ police I just downloaded the form online, scanned and emailed to embassy with passport description page.
I didnt receive package from embassy until now, One week after 2NL I emailed embassy asking for medical package and they replied saying that they didnt receive any notification from NVC and as soon as they will receive than they will send the medical package. I waited and waited....one and half week left for the interview than I emailed again asking for the package, than they replied saying that they cant open 2017 case until october but they emailed me all forms to book my medical.
My medical was completed in one week.
Same week I posted rest of the document.
Finally interiew day, we went 30mins earlier, security told come sharp on time because 12 to 1 is lunch time and no one can wait there, so we went back, after that we went inside waited for 10mins than went to the document window, before asking anything she said wait I am going to get your files, she was very nice and I gave rest of the document, bank statement, resume, winning letter, etc. after that paid fees than waited for the interview, waited for about 30mins than my name was called, some questions which was asked was
Why I want to move?,
When did I get my citizenship?
Where I am going to stay?
My highest qualification?,
What job I am currently doing, and asked my husband when did we get married?

Finally it was approved

Did you scan/email your documents? I thought we were supposed to bring the original and a copy of each document on the interview day? Are we supposed to scan/email them before the interview? Am I missing something? My interview will be in Sydney. Thanks for sharing.

Different embassies have different procedures. Follow your own instructions.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience.
 
Too bad Australia post sucks. I have my partner at home all day to sign for the passport and they say there was no one home. The apartment is hardly big. Hoping the USPS is a bit better than AusPost haha.
 
Hey all!
Congrats to those who have been approved already! Amazing stuff.

Hoping someone can answer this:
My CN is 6XX and am I right in assuming that most likely my interview will be scheduled somewhere between JAN-MARCH 2017?

I've been asked to work in South Africa for 8 weeks (Jan14-March14) & am worried my interview will be scheduled in that time... How does one change their interview time? Is it easily done or not recommended? My form (d260) has already been processed & my interview would be in Sydney.
Thank you in advance!

Got my passport and package in the mail today, they just chucked mine in my letterbox
 
so im number 486 and i guess ive been drawn today :) but i dont have an email or anything yet... whats the process from here?
 
It depends on when you submitted your DS260.

If your case has finished processing by the KCC, they will have scheduled an interview and you will receive an email in a couple of weeks stating there is an update in your case. That email won't have any details in it. You will have to go to the site where you originally found out if you had won or not: link here.

There you will find your second notification letter which will have details on your interview (time, date, location).
 
Hey @Britsimon and @EmilyW - forgot to tag you both in my question earlier.

Sorry to ask twice, but I'm in quite a time sensitive situation regarding work & they are waiting for me to commit by the end of the day. (Eeek!)

My details: So my CN is 6xx - My dS260 is submitted and processed & was submitted early (May). I'm in Sydney & my interview will be here.

My dilemma is: I've been asked to go away for work Jan 14-March 14 to South Africa. I've got a feeling that my interview may be scheduled within that time. Would I be correct in thinking this?

If so, how do I go about changing this before it happens so that I don't miss the interview while I'm in South Africa? If this is not recommended & risks losing out on the green card all together, I would rather so no to the work obviously.

I've searched through the FAQs on your site Britsimon but have not found anything about this - I'm sure you've answered something similar, so apologies in advance.
