Yes I think that may be the case, also think we have the medical on the same day.

Funnily enough I've been fighting through a tummy bug for the last two weeks. Not great timing but oh well. It is what it is.

At the current rate it will finish at the 1150 mark for Oc that’s significantly lower than where it has finished in the last 10 years. We know that OC won’t go current given the numbers so it would be nice to see at least a small jump to get it in line with past years.
 
Did our medical today. 5 hours in the doctors (there were 4 of us). Quite a tiring experience and hopefully we hear nothing back from the doc. $1650 NZD so not cheap but at least we got a good look over.
 
Was there anything that you weren’t expecting? Was it tiring because there were so many of you and it took a long time?

Wrong.

The highest number allocated to ANY case for OC is 2019OC1044.

OC will go current, and the pace of the VB is ALREADY fast enough.

Just tiring because it took a long time. There was nothing unexpected except my son has mediocre vision in one eye which surprised me. Need to see an optometrist about that.

Well thats good, its done and dusted now... you are on the home stretch.
 
Yes I think so. The medical seems worse than the actual interview from what I can gather.

Simon, we have a member who is in the 1300 range.
Is what you are saying is there will be a maximum of 1044 visas allocated to OC regardless of CN's and that the rate in which that number is being filled is adequate to hit that target?
Can you send me a link to your website so I can get up to speed.

No, you don't. Not DV2019. It wouldn't be the first time I have seen an extreme outlier, but all CEAC numbers were checked up to OC1200, so there would be a huge unexplained gap between 1044 and 13XX.

These are CASE NUMBERS, not visas allocated (which will be a max of around 800). You seem confused, but I am not. When I say there is no need for a big jump, I am not just plucking that out of thin air.

Hey everyone,
I’m Geo, from central qld, my wife put in for the green card lottery and my entry won. Case number is OC13xx, which I have worked out is not a bad number. Here is our dilemma. Been reading up and looks like I don’t qualify.
But, I was wondering, if I can fix it and give us a chance. I’m a mine Lecky. Always worked in mining, finished school in grade 10 back in the 80’s and got a mine apprenticeship to be a electrician. Wife is fine coz she is a nurse and has a degree. She’s been at me for years to go to Uni to become an engineer. We haven’t put the forms in yet. So, could I get through with my 30 odd years of experience in my specialised field or could I apply for uni to do my engineering and hold off until next year to put the form in with a semester of uni behind me? Also our eldest turns 21 in August next year and of course wants to come, she finishes uni next year. Anyone know of some success stories?

I was very much "what the !!!" with the 1044 case number when I knew that we had a member report early on that he had a 1300 cn. I figured I must have misread what you were saying or was confusing case numbers and issued visa numbers. That was the reason I asked for a specific link as I read your blog quite often and thought that I must have missed a section.

I guess Sparky may have misread his number as I had a look at the link you sent and the cut off is def 1044
 
Had my Medical today, seemed to go ok, we had a chat about my deprssion/anxiety and it seemed to be ok so fingers crossed.

The nurse said I had nothing to worry about, I was really nervous and my Blood pressure was really high the first time with the nurse but came right down in the docs office and he was happy with that.

If its not looking good at the Medical do they tell you before you go to the Interview at the consulate?

I’m sure they would discuss any issues regarding your health with you prior.
