DV 2022 OC Selectees

Has anyone received any updates from their respective law suits? I decided to partner with IMMPact (though was very keen to join Jessie's). I haven't heard anything from my end though we do receive updates YouTube once per week. CEAC and ESC are still the same since May and I haven't received any communication from the Embassy yet... I do check their Facebook page though and see they are beginning to initiate different programmes so I hope that is a positive sign... Lastly - is it only me or do you check CEAC and ESC each morning when you wake up just in case :)

Not much update on Jesse's. I mean he does give weekly/every few day updates but nothing substantial has happened yet, the government has 60 days to respond from when they filed it, so they have until April 11th I believe. So there's only so much we can get updated on until they respond :(
 
Hi All,
I have just come on here after a few weeks break from the forum and I am panicking and overwhelmed.
I was wondering if anyone has thought about contacting Scott Morrisons office? My sister works for his office and has offered to try help in trying to get someone's attention. The main issue is that the Sydney consulate is closed or is it all of Australian embassies are not doing interviews?
I don't want to give the wrong information to his office. I feel like I need to do something other than spending thousands in a lawsuit.

2022OC8XX
DS 260 submitted JUNE 2021
No documents requested or submitted
Ready to be scheduled for interview 24th December 2021
Current as of February 2022

It's only Sydney who conduct Immigrant Visa interviews. While they have moved out of their old office, the new office is still not open.
They have rescheduled a very small number of IV cases to interview in Melbourne however have communicated that they do not intend to do this for DV until they have cleared all other category of IV, which isn't happening either.
A number of us on here have already contacted Senator Payne, I received a generic response that demonstrated they were not understanding the issue.

I emailed Minister Payne office in attempt for her office to at the minimum ascertain what the plans are for the Consulate but as usual nothing but a generic email reply
 
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows the approximate time it takes for a case to be transferred from one embassy to another?

My case was scheduled for Feb 09, however borders were closed and I was unable to travel home for the interview. And now I am awaiting a date for rescheduling however the embassy has just closed again due to COVID cases in NZ. I am considering transferring it to another embassy.

From memory I believe I read in a past post that some people have had major issues with their cases getting lost in transit? Is this correct or is it unlikely to happen?

I tried to transfer my case to London from Sydney and KCC said it was “ready” with Sydney (nothing anywhere indicates this) so I’d need to ask Sydney to transfer it. Sydney said they need London to request it. London has not replied to me (and were very clear on their website that they may not respond at all).
I think if your case is already scheduled or ready, transferring will be a pain in the arse

Hi Morgan. I'm OC23##. My interview was scheduled for Mexico City and I've just moved to Singapore for work and I was able to open and unlock my DS260(change address) and explain to KCC why I needed my interview changed for Singapore and it was changed within days...literally. Now I just need to go current lol.
Hope that helps.

Britsimon has mentioned this recently that cases that are current and ready to be sent to embassy cant be unlocked, so many people (such as yourself) are in this weird Limbo state we haven't seen before.
Hopefully London gets back to you soon! Agree, I don't think transferring is an easy option any more for us because of this.
I believe Sydney will be open by ay so hopefully not too much more waiting before we get news....
 
I'm considering moving back to my hometown Fiji in order to have my interview. My number should be current in May, should I unlock my DS 260 and transfer my interview location before May? Wouldn't want to get stuck in that limbo as well...

Apply for what? If you're a DV22 winner, seems to me you already have applied..
You won't get any further communication until your number is current (and hopefully for your sake you aren't applying in the OC region..)
 
Thanks for your inquiry.
Your DS260 has been processed. you should have receive or will soon receive , an email from the Kentucky consular center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing. please follow the instructions the email.


Hi everyone, i got this email few days ago. i have submitted 260 on may-30. and my case number is AF20223300 . Which instructions do they mean?

CEAC has my case (OC5xx, current Jan) as “at NVC”.
I tried to unlock my DS260 so I could change my interview location from Sydney to London.
KCC said I’m ready so DS260 cannot be unlocked and I need to ask Sydney to transfer me.
Sydney said they need London to submit a formal request for my case to be transferred.
London has asked me to review the DV website and confirm “if you have been informed that your case is ready to be transferred and adjudicated”.

…could someone please advise me what that even means and how I would work that out/get it done

Just a small correction. Limbo was always there but rarely exposed. That changed in DV2021 and to some extent DV2020. So - this issue is not new and KCC should have taken action on it by now. They haven't.
