DV 2022 OC Selectees

Hey AusOC,

Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
I don’t know much about the process of background checks but assumed travel history and other citizenships play a role.

Yeah, that was pretty much the situation I feared so is the reason I held off initially sending docs.
An own-goal on my behalf for making a mistake on the DS260 but I really wish they had a better process for submitting and amending DS260 and submitting docs.

There’s another thread for unlock requests and seems like KCC is making progress (albeit seemingly random whose form they unlock) so hopefully they get to yours asap so you’re not as stressed!

Hey lukearosa, update! KCC finally unlocked my DS260 overnight (requested 17 June). I am going to re-send off my docs today. Fingers crossed for some movement for you soon!

Are you the only one in your Case Number, or you have family? Because I think, KCC is priorizating single persons, I guess...

Hi Esmeralda, there are CNs in OC much higher than ours that submitted later than us that have received a request for documents. Some of those are families/groups of 2 (eg OC6**). We are a family of 2 as well (OC2**). So I am not sure why we haven’t received a request. Unless it is taking longer to process our DS260.

Yeah I applied alone. I wouldn't read too much into it though, I literally only got the request only 3 days ago and we are still 7 weeks off the new FY and probably months off the Sydney consulate even scheduling interviews given the covid situation there right now.. I'm aware of some family cases in OC being asked for docs (3xx and 6xx) so it's just a matter of time I imagine..

Hi! Do you have any other citizenship? Do you have military services? Did you travel a lot in the last 5 years? Did you had another US Visa before? Did you divorced from a previous marriage? I´m trying to guess why some DS260 are taking more time than others.

Hi Esmeralda, I am sure it could be any number of reasons. I have never lived outside of Australia, have never had any other citizenship and I have not done military service. I haven't travelled, what I would consider, a lot, in the last 5 years.

Congrats @AusOC and @lukearosa - I am glad to hear you have finally had your DS260s unlocked. That must be a relief for you both.

Thanks Syd2022, I have no doubt you will get your request very soon and be DQ well before Nov VB. Although almost 500 cases today I am doubtful Syd will be interviewing anyone on this side of Christmas anyway ☹️

I woke up to an email this morning from KCC requesting docs. Ds260 submitted early June.

Can you post screenshots of email you received for dv22 document submission (without/hide your details)?

- just to make sure they are following the same format and instructions as dv21.

Thanks @AusOC, we have our fingers crossed. I will post an update as soon as I have one. Although, I don't expect to hear before Tuesday at the very earliest as it is Friday evening there now. Maybe we will just get a 2NL without receiving a document request. We would love to be in the states before Christmas so really hoping things improve in Sydney and the consulate opens up for interviews. It is very surreal for us in rural NSW we haven't had a Covid case here since March 2020 and they were people from the Ruby Princess that lived out of town.

I posted a screenshot of that on the previous page (10) of this thread. Is there enough info on that to see if it's the same? I imagine it would be identical to last year

They’ve made good progress the past week so I’m sure yours will be sooner rather than later.

I can’t quite remember who it was but someone was stressing about having sent two unlock requests and fearing KCC would unlock their DS260 form twice.
For that person (hopefully it’s this thread), they unlocked my form from my 2nd request (mid June). Seems they’re just ignoring the first request.

Only the initial part of the email is visible, appreciate if you can post the total email including (list of documents, and naming etc.)

just to make is there any addition document requested compared to last year, and naming, and emailing subject, capacity etc.

Thanks.

They might just send you that "ready for scheduling" email if you had send the document already....I have seen this person that had sent his documents and was request for further documents and he dint receive a request for documents....just be patient.....
