No I think I just wrote OCXXXX as I believe the ACK is for different types of Visas. I think when I wrote the address of the Embassy I put down the US Embassy in London. But in the email I received confirming that the PC was completed, they informed me that they automatically send all PCs to Auckland and that it is then Auckland forward on to the interviewing Embassy.
Hi @Groovy times @kplo @SusieQQQ
For the nz police report
Is this the right way to fill the form?
As my interview location is not auckland, i have doubt on filling the form.
Please find the attached files.
And after emailing vetting police, do i have to email auckland and ask if they have received my police clearance or i have to email consulate where i will be interviewed.
Thank you
Much appreciated

Hi did u apply for police certificate?
Hi, I did and once the NZ police had processed it I received an email with the following:
"Thank you for your email.
We confirm that your Visa vetting request has been processed.
Your Visa vetting results have been sent, via email, to the US Consulate General in Auckland AucklandIV@state.gov).
The US Consulate General in Auckland is then responsible for forwarding the results to the relevant embassy or consulate, or to the National Visa Centre as required."
you should receive the same once yours has been processed and then you will be able to email the Auckland embassy to make sure it is forwarded on to the correct embassy you need it at
Hello! I had my interview at the Sydney Consulate today. Good news - approved! Thank you @Britsimon and everyone in the forum. I am grateful that I had all of you for tips.
Please see below for how today worked:
Parked at 60 Miller Street (Wilsons). Entry is actually on William Street behind Miller Street North Sydney.
Arrived at 10.30 am for my 11.00 am interview. The entry to the Consulate is on ground floor next to the entry to 50 Miller Street (Left Hand Side). There is a sign to "line up here". I knocked to let them know I was here.
Once inside, there is ground level security check. We went through quickly having left phones etc. in the car. You buzz up to Level 5 in a secure lift. Things are very secure. Belts, jackets, phones, documents all had to be scanned.
Once in Level 5, you line up in the visa line. One of the (Australian) clerks takes all your supporting documents. You then pay your fee after receiving a ticket.
We only waited 10 minutes before the CO called us. He advised how well our supporting documents where including medicals. I spent hours checking to ensure everything was perfect - including the express paid envelopes.
The interview was very, very informal. Because of my DUI I was a dash worried though we only confirmed the date of the event and that was it.
We discussed work options in LA.
I went to the interview over-prepared. I had bank statements, home loan statements and photos (we were married after I wont the DV); school documents, under/post graduate documents, CV, O-NET classifications for my employment and even a medical statement from my Dr. to state I am not a piss head (due to the DUI years ago)...
None of those documents were required.
The CO and the clerk did state how perfect the supporting documents (and copies) were. They advised that lots haven't become so prepared.
Although things were informal, we completed our DS260s perfectly with attention to detail and honesty. I suspect they do a significant amount of checks before your interview.
We were back in the car at 11.24 am so was very quick.
Sending positive energy for those who interviews are coming up.

Congrats & good luck to you!
Were there any others getting interviewed today? Was it busy down there?
It wasn't that busy. Was a mix of DVers and US Passports. I think the Consulate opened last week or this week with not many staff on...
Curious. I was just wondering how quick / when they're going to get to the 95 who are ready for interview...
I reckon it will ramp once more staff come back. I did see a job adverts for multiple admin support members a few weeks back so suspect things will move very quickly. There are 9 "windows" to get interviewed for DV and around 9 windows for Passports.

Hey everyone! I asked for my case to be transferred from Sydney to Suva two days ago and I just received my interview date in Suva for 1 August (OC23xx). I am very excited. I wish I had found this forum earlier as I didn't even know it was an option to transfer my case from Sydney to Suva until last week, when I came across this forum. Given that I have a higher case number, I'm happy to pay the little bit extra (and go on a holiday to Fiji). It has really alleviated some of the anxiety I had waiting around, not knowing about bloody Sydney and their whole who-ha of not really communicating anything with us (and potentially not getting in to see a doctor). Thank you everyone for all the valuable information you have posted on here!

Hello, DV 2022, CN Range ~13700 Region: AF.
So I have a question is: having been sent the e-mail of being current around April and that I should wait till they schedule my interview, Does it mean that say, by July 15th, if *NOT SENT* any interview date, that means that my chances are therefore *NULL* to get a GC?
Going from the fact that the medical examination and interview take up to 2 months, therefore if things dont shake up by 15th of July, I will have lost any chance of my case being processed, because it all ends the 30th of September.
Sorry if this question has already been asked/ is answered already in a Q&A, I just couldn't find a proper answer.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, this thread is for OC/those interviewing in OC. Not sure where your interview is at. You just have to have it issued by Sept 30, "Medical examination and interview takes up to 2 months" doesn't really mean much as it is different for everyone depending on your location. We have people in Suva having their Medical Monday, interview Wednesday, and passport back on Thursday which is only 4 days not 2 months.
So there is a lot of variance depending on your country / medical places / embassy. Best off asking in a thread for your region that has others attending the same embassy as you as your situation could be very different to everyone in OC. So yes it has to all be done before September 30, but how long it takes is anyones guess given the limited info you've provided (and even with more info if you aren't interviewing in the OC region we won't be able to help).
Down bottom of page. I think there is a large delay to get into the Doctor. I saw Dr. Aldous and she was excellent. There are Doctors in other cities which might be easier? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/SYD-Sydney.html
Hi everyone,
I have an interview in Suva in late July, OC24xx.
Planning on seeing a tax professional but thought I’d see if anyone can shed light on the US tax obligations for green card holders here. Does it begin once the Suva embassy provides the temporary visa after the interview, once the permanent residency is activated when entering the US within 6 months or when you finally immigrate within a year of activation?
Wondering how best to manage existing investment property/stocks, given the tax year in the US is Jan-Dec, and if a tax return needs to be lodged for US 2022 Fin-year if visa application is successful in July?
Thanks!

Once you enter the US and activate it. After its activated you are a LPR so you have the same obligations as all other LPR's. Even if you come back for a year and don't migrate yet, you are no different to a LPR (because you are one) leaving the country for a year.
