DV 2021 Oceania Selectees

Hi Thanks for chart data. What does Ready mean?

The answer to this is in Simon's FAQ under the CEAC section. That page will answer a number of your other questions too.

----------
“READY”

This is the next status after in transit. It means the case has arrived at the embassy for interview. Sometimes a case will continue to show ready even after the interview.
----------
 
I know there were a few people talking about joining, but would be curious to see how many other people of joined the Curtis Morrison Lawsuit? I have joined today.

What do you mean? Sydney has been processing consistently.
They only process on Tuesdays, and have processed cases from other regions as well.

It does appear they have kept rough ordering with 2nls.

Maybe misworded, but I am hoping they get through as many as possible so that other regions get their numbers up too.
I am EU12k and at this pace there is no hope.

Hi,
You will have to go to any POLICE STATION if you reside outside of SUVA and fill police clearance for USA. They will fill the form with you and your finger prints taken ,with fees of $127 to be paid for processing. They will then send the POLICE CLEARANCE to HQ in SUVA.
From HQ if everything goes well they will send PC direct to US embassy in Suva

Do we have to also provide prison records and military records if we neither have been to prison nor a member of military in Fiji?

I’m signing up also!
I also won in 2022 with OC12xx but I’d hate to regret not joining if the effects continued to roll on. May as well cover all bases for 2021 just in case.

Honestly, that’s smart thinking. I thought there was no waaaay DV2021 would be affected as badly as DV2020 and now look lol. Especially if they don’t come up with a meaningful way to reduce the IV backlog, DVs will keep getting the short end of the stick.

It’s pretty wild. Originally my mindset was “well maybe 2022 DV year will work out better for my plans as a later move would suit” But then I realised how we all felt certain numbers were safe this year and it turns out nothing is safe! Nothing can can predicted. It’s been a crazy year!
 
Two questions:
1. Has anybody from OC (especially Sydney) gotten their passport back with the visa printed in it? if so, how long did it take?

2. Has anybody from Sydney been verbally approved in full, have part of their party move to "issues", and one or more derivatives stuck on "AP" or "Ready"?

I've been waiting about 5 weeks now for one of my derivatives to move from Ready to Issued.

Im Auckland so different consulate, but I had a long wait too. Spent 4 weeks at ready, then a day at AP. I went to issued on a Friday 4.5 weeks post interview, and my passport + visa and visa packet arrived overnight the next Saturday. I spent a very long time staring at my visa when it arrived lol :)
 
Just had my interview and it went well! They said I should receive my visa/passport after 2 weeks but judging from others I'm guessing it might be longer but I'm so happy! Note for others, you can bring your phone just needs to be put in to storage provided. They didn't look at any of my additional documents like bank balance or tertiary certificates and thankfully the standard disclosure police cert was enough as my other hadn't arrived yet anyway! The whole thing took about an hour but interview itself was more like 10 min. Best of luck to everyone else hope you all get interviews asap if you haven't already :)

Have you contacted the embassy to ask? Is there any reason you are aware of why one derivative would take longer (this can happen for myriad reasons - from delayed submission of a supporting document to past visa violations, criminal record, visits to countries considered hostile/security risk to the US to name a few)

Yes - asked about it a week ago and was told I'll be told when its ready, and was not told any detail on why its delayed.

I can't think of any reason why one visa is delayed. To name a few things:
- All DS260s and docs submitted at the same time.
- All docs provided at the interview at the same time, and no problems with the docs raised in the interview.
- No past visa violations.
- No criminal record.
- Only two trips overseas ever, one to the US and one to Thailand. Both very brief holidays and neither were commented on during the interview.
