DV 2019 Oceania Selectees

I haven't seen anything about your spouse needing a HS certificate, only the selectee. If someone could let me know if I'm wrong here, that would be great, because I'll have to hustle more documents if so.
No my husband is the applicant. I’m the derivative here.
 
Australian selectee checking in.
Applied for the first time and got selected for the first time.

Didn't know anything about the case numbers or anything about these forums.

Go really lucky, not only being selected, but with my case number also being the lowest I've ever seen one.
And damo1089 curious what was your Case number?
 
I resubmitted my application today after having to make some changes, seemed only fitting to send it off on Independence Day!
 
That’s fantastic! Have you submitted the ds260? Caus3 I would be curious about when your interview is if forms sent later.
I submitted it pretty quickly. Haven't had any correspondence yet. I'm already in the USA so going for adjustment of status, so I think there are some differences with the way the DS260 is handled in that case.
 
Well we have a few selectees in here now with a fairly even spread of numbers hopefully as time rolls on we will get a few more people coming through...

2xx - Mathew540

2xx - NzFamilyX6

4xx - Bob22

4xx - DougNNNN

6xx- SMD1810

8xx - Mijoro

9xx - Kb’s Quest

13xx - Sparkymicadonis
Update on this list at all?
 
Has anyone had any luck / experience getting certified copies of their military records? I keep getting excuses for delays from the Army, with no ETA. Frustrating.
 
So the people with sub-100 numbers should be getting emails(letters?) from Kentucky soon for an appointment time?
 
So the August Visa Bulletin is out, showing DV Visa cut-off for September 2018 as being 1450 for the OC region. To me, this means that for DV Visa Program 2018, only those with numbers xxxxx1450 and below will be interviewed, total. Some simple math (1450 / 12) shows that for the OC region, that equates to 120 @ month.

So, assuming the rate of interviews for 2019 is similar to 2018, we should see OC interview invites being at 120 per month:
Oct = xx120
Nov = xx240
Dec = xx360
Jan = xx480

and so on...

Someone please step in and let me know if I'm way off base.

No thats not how it works, you have to take into account "holes" in the numbers as well. BritSimon has an excellent guide to explaining how it is all worked out. Ill see if I can find it for you.
 
Hey OC folks - I have a question for the AFP police checks. A little confused and read conflicting information so hoping to tap in prior OC selectees who have been through the process. I am not an OC selectee (AS selectee), but I did my undergraduate studies in Melbourne and therefore need a police certificate from Australia.

I am opting for finger print checks as well - it is more expensive and all but I already committed to it, and got my finger prints taken at my local police department to send with my application. I just wanted to confirm the code to use. Someone mentioned 33 - but it would seem like 35 made more sense for this. 33 seems like it is for the Australian Dept of Immigration. So I guess my questions are:

1. 33 or 35? I would think 'all offences' would be best but my concern with 33 is:
2. If 33, will they still mail me the certificate? My consulate (Montreal) doesn't accept directly mailing to them. I need to bring it in myself. Or will they even delay the processing if they don't agree with 33 + fingerprinting.

Thanks!
 
260 portal is open again. Does anyone know the email address for the Kentucky center, as I need to have my 260 unlocked to update some information, now that my Army records have finally arrived. I'm searching, but haven't found it yet.
