Not sure I completely understand, but the lawsuit we have planned for OC is specifically directed and focused on the consulate's "zero interview" policy on top of the macro issues harming all DV2022. We can win for OC in multiple ways by 1) getting the consulate to adopt a flexible interview policy (reassignment or makeshift location during the move); and 2) agreeing to reassign/transfer cases immediately. This lawsuit will be narrowly tailored and limited to a small number of plaintiffs.

Hello, OC21xx here.
DS260 Submitted May 2021
Request for further documents received September 14th (I was issued a new passport since my original application and stupidly did not include a copy of that one when submitting documents)
No contact since then.
In researching just now I put in my case number somewhere and a pop up showed as my case being with the NVC.
I can't remember what page it was though, it's not the CEAC as that shows invalid case number if I enter it there. Any idea what page it may have been ? Went through my history and can't seem to find the page again.
Reading the comments here I am now aware of the Sydney situation. Also the state gov website has a statement about the backlog of cases at the NVC
So I guess my question is, outside the current extenuating circumstances, does everything seem normal with my case and where can I track the NVC- Transit process just in case? Thank you!

It is probably the CEAC page you checked, remember to enter the CN without the zeros like 2022OC123
Has anyone lately received 2nl for suva embassy (fiji) and tell which date they submitted their Ds260 as I think interview is schedule by date of submission not CN as I submitted on june 16th and ready for scheduling email recieved on 23rd December but still havent received 2nl.my CN is 2**.

This might be a silly question.. I'm about to move house next month (same suburb, different street). Should I unlock my DS-260?
I'm sure in normal times you could just update it at the interview but now I'm nervous about either unlocking my form and causing delay or rocking the boat during a potential interview.
I also need to renew my passport, life admin at it's finest.

No you don't need to unlock the form for this. You can update your address at the time of your interview.
Good to hear you got into the CEAC site
As far as if your case seems normal, everything sounds normal. I asked others about the ""At NCV" the other day, and it seems that it will say that until you have an interview scheduled. So there really isn't very much to even track considering everyone in aus is still just on "At NVC".AussieDV22

Ok great , thanks. No not much to track just good to see it's somewhere in the system I guess lol.Good to hear you got into the CEAC site
Any other DV applicants from Auckland here?
With the whole of NZ going back to 'Red' tonight, it appears that the Consulate will stop all interviews (based on the update they have provided on the website). The Government's advice is clear that businesses and organizations can safely stay open in the new 'Red' setting (retail, hospitality, schools fully open), yet the Consulate is likely to stop all interviews. It seems likely that we will be in 'Red' for a few months as Omicron makes its way through. Is there anything we can do to help keep these interviews moving ahead (as a lot of other consulates around the world are doing)? Otherwise, we risk a year of zero DV cases for the year or a very reduced window of a few months at the end of the FY in the best case.

There are two law suits that are both filing on the 1st of February (though one is targeted just at the Sydney embassy). Only way to keep them moving is going to be from joining one of those otherwise its out of our control and you just have to pray the embassys open and schedule you.
Well the good news is that the government keeps releasing "evidence" that will help us (e.g., we fully expect to process all Employment-Based Immigrant visas). DOS is also back to a pre-pandemic pace of adjudication for other family based IV categories. Not a smoking gun, but these items provide both a basis to fight and opportunity to resolve the willful blindness of the government at this point for the DV2022 program (within Sydney and beyond).
