DV 2021 Oceania Selectees

Just gonna point out that KCC sends the interview letters but any notification of rescheduled interviews will come from the consulate. I think (given the timing of the lockdown) that the august interview schedule was already finalized before the lockdown announcement came, so KCC is just sending out according to that. By contrast Sydney consulate is likely waiting to see when the lockdown ends before contacting cancelled applicants for rescheduled dates.

Susie, one quick question. To change consulates would Sydney have to be open and processing routine requests?
The second consulate has said they are willing to accept the case.
Any information will be helpful

If the case has already been scheduled or otherwise sent to sydney, yes. I would still try contacting them though, there may be someone monitoring the email inbox.

Thanks, case was sent to Sydney and impacted by the lockdown (interview cancelled).
I will update here if I hear anything.

Bear in mind that when sydney reopen it might take them faster to reschedule you than to send it to wherever else you are considering. So I would actually ask it that way - if there is a rescheduled date and if not, can they transfer.
 
That is my biggest concern, but with Talks of Sydney being locked down for longer than a month i am trying to see what options are available.

Nope. I did email the embassy though last week. They replied the day after which was nice to say that regrettably their visa services is closed until further notice due to the continuing rise in covid numbers. I recall someone posting that their interview scheduled in May was canceled. I would imagine that they would have to get through that backlog of about 100 cases before accepting more cases. My question was referring to the fact that unlike Sydney, we have not and will not go into a full lockdown and approved businesses are open with covid safety measures in place including embassies. This will be our norm as Fiji pushes its vaccination program. The email ended with them getting in touch once interviews resume. Seems unlikely considering the time remaining and the backlog. I guess it’s just a waiting game for Fiji.
