FYI, the above is a trial run of three months (I think that's the time period I heard). It will be reassessed after that, or may change depending on the emergence of any new strain(s).

Case number is 20XX, and the transfer from SYD to Suva took less than a week. Suva have responded to every email correspondence promptly - impressive.
Information can change daily, we have seen this so often in the last 2.5 years. What information we are given today may not be current tomorrow.
We should all reused to constantly changing advice by now and expect things to change LOL

Re Aussies @ Suva;
Pending a successful interview, if I decide to return to Aus and mail in my passport, does that affect my chances of getting a visa at all?
Or am I 'allocated' a visa on the spot, so waiting around for the return of my passport or returning to Aus and sending it in wouldn't affect my chances.
Just thinking of regional quotas or if anything else were to happen in the time it takes for them to process my passport.

There should be lots of happy OCers today. Sydney has updated interviews with 95 now ready for interview. https://savediversityvisa.org/dv2022allconsulates/. My interview is tomorrow and will report back with some summary notes...
Nice!
Is there a way to figure out what case # they're up to?
*Edit - looks like it's at 1240

How is it looking getting a medical appointment prior to interview? Are they still inundated? Was still considering having mine transferred to Suva because I am worried that Sydney wouldn't get to my number (23xx), and if they did, I might not get a medical.
Have you tried Doctors that aren't in Sydney? Silly question I know though thought I would ask... There looks as though there's Doctors in Melbourne and Perth also...
Yeah I'm in the same boat - OC24XX, but I have a Suva interview scheduled. I'd REALLY like to not have to go, but what are the chances of picking up a Sydney one and scheduling the medical. Might be worth a call to one of the Sydney providers tomorrow...
That's interesting. That would work for me.

TBH- I think I'm going to stay with transferring my case to Suva. They have been super responsive and very accommodating. Sydney seems like a mess and they are scurrying around and haven't really planned for the influx of having to process cases. Fingers crossed my transfer goes smoothly and I manage to get a visa before end of Sept.

Just put down your case number 'OCXXXX'.
A problem I found with NZ Police certificates is that the NZ Police send them directly to the US Embassy in Auckland and then its up to Auckland to forward it to your interviewing US Embassy. For me my interviewing Embassy (London) still had not received it by the time of my interview. Auckland sat on it for 6 months. London had to contact them. This is the reason my case has been flagged as 'refused' even though I was verbally approved pending receipt of the certificate. But now they have it so hopefully I will receive my visa. I would suggest that when you get an interview contact Auckland directly about this.
Omg 6 month thats a long wait, can we not take just a criminal record from ministry of justice.

No they did not accept the MoJ report when I presented it. I wouldn't worry too much, NZ Police were super quick at producing the certificate and I think the 6 month delay in forwarding the certificate was just an aberration. Good luck.
And I thought my 5-week wait was hard enough!! I had to contact Auckland too to ask them to send it on. The wait was no fun at all!

Indeed! Especially considering the actual interview was so simple. The hardest part of the experience for me was sifting through my documents and copies at the first window. I was a walking filing cabinet.
Hi going, did ur embassy receive pcc from auckland? And in reference did u write ack followed by ur cn or the embassy where u will be interviewed. And what about which country is this letter being requested for.
Thank u.
My interview location is nepal
