DV 2022 OC Selectees

Does anyone else have problems accessing the 'If you are selected' link on the travel.state.gov website? I've tried with 3 different browsers & it just hangs up on me every time. Very occasionally I have had it resolve, but 95% of the time I just can't access it.

This is the link I'm using:

If Selected

travel.state.gov travel.state.gov

@AusOC That's a good point, i'll probably just do that and only if they do question me about my originals i'll just show them a printout of the email from NSW courts saying they don't give out originals. @090521@0411 I may just do that as well to see if i can get a JP to certify the copies of my court documents just as back up of course. Thanks for the suggestion. @AUDV2022 I may ask the courts to see if they can do that too.

Hi @AusOC and @Shezza85: I assume you both are in NSW? Can I confirm your DUI certificate is a very simple word doc that lists "Certificate of Convict on" at the top, then Particulars of Conviction, Particulars of Offence and Particulars of Penalty? It is a very "Basic" document.

I just tried the link, it worked perfectly well for me.
 
Just something I noticed…. Oceania has about 850 visa allocated to it and according to save the diversity visa website they have issued 394 visa and there are 544 people ready to be interviewed so if I do the math correctly 938-850=88 so there would be 88 people that would not get a visa unless 88 people get refused a visa…..

Its likely some will get refused, also quite a lot of applicants have multiple derivatives, and it's looking like they won't hit the global 55k limit so there will probably be some left over from Africa etc that can be re-distributed. I don't think OC will run into quota issues (if they do its likely it wouldn't be until like September, so anyone that already has an interview date secured should be okay).

Had my interview in sydney today. Went well. Was in and out of there in less than 1 hr. Just need to send in my medical results when i get it. The CO mentioned to me they will aim to process them within 1 week after they get the docs.

Thanks for sharing. Anything that was out of the ordinary for your file or super vanilla? Did they want originals or request photocopies and originals for your supporting docs? What questions did they ask? :)
 
For our police certificates, would we need to apply for a new one to take to our interview or will the copies we submitted to KCC be enough? Not sure when the certificate would expire

2 years. So if you got them specifically for DV then it will be fine

I have heard stories of some police certificates bring valid for only six (6) months and that DOS will accept a police certificate that was issued up to two (2) years ago.

Mine was issued on 21 September 2021 and I interviewed at Suva on 26 May 2022, making mine over eight (8) months old at time of my interview.

Apart from what I said yesterday about it being inadvertantly handed back to me after being interviewed, and the logistics involved in returning it to the embassy at the embassy's request, mine was accepted.

Mine was super vanilla, one person.
They requested both original and copies for docs.

I was just asked where i intended to live, what my occupation is, what i studied, if i knew anyone there. Pretty basic questions.

You should have your certificate still as only the scan to KCC was required (in the early days). They are valid for 2 years...

During my interview I was told that my visa has been approved verbally and told that I will get my passport back by end of week, which was 2 days after. From what I had heard from the locals here who got it that they received their back between 2 to 3 weeks.

So I assume maybe they must be prioritizing those who must have requested to transfer here taking consideration into the current situation.

I think it may also have to do with the fact that all numbers above 1,200 only became current in June thus the wait until June to receive visas.

Do you have the link for this document, though what does this have to do with anything?
