No predictions from me. The VB now has very little to do with logic.

Through this one ais.usvisa-info.com ?
Does anyone know if the 4 cases Sydney has accepted are all related to Jesse Bless or not?
Hi Simon, one is 2022OC60, not sure if that’s related to Jesse’s group or not though. The forums are pretty quiet at the moment. I am trying to see if I can find any further information
One of them is Georgia who posted on the previous page it seems. One is from the asia region (so assuming they probably arent on this forum even theyre at sydney consulate). Other 2 no clue!
3 are OC region and 1 is AS. @Britsimon The Sydney OC CN's that have been accepted by the Sydney consulate are 2022OC60, 2022OC119 & 2022175. I haven idea if these are related to Jesse's lawsuit.
I will post a spreadsheet shortly of every OC CN up to 300 to show where they are at as of 18/03/2022.
kind regards
Charli
None of them are part of Jesses lawsuit
The first screenshot shows all cases 2022OC1-300 highlighted according to whether they are ready/issued or refused as of 18th March 2022. Some of those cases refused today maybe temporary refusals I think if a recall an earlier conversation correctly as they may be waiting on further clarification. The second screenshot includes ever other case that I could fit in the screenshot up to 300 that is an actual case number, ie not a gap. They are all listed as being at NVC. I am not sure how to work out which of those cases are assigned to which consulate (yet) or which of those cases have actually had a DS260 submitted, processed and ready for scheduling but not yet accepted by a consular office (ie in limbo land)

Well if this information is true it proves, as much as some of you don't want to hear it, that you don't need to be on a lawsuit to get an interview in AU.
By Jessie's own words on more than one occasion he has said he has an AU client on his lawsuit against SYD Consulate with a 2 digit case number of (20 something by memory) and yet all 3 of the cases now accepted by SYD Consulate are higher case numbers than Jessie's lawsuit's lowest case number, and allegedly none are clients of Jessie's lawsuit.
I note as of today the official SYD Consulate website still says it has paused all visa services, and MELB Consulate has lengthened it's processing time for visas.

I dont think anyone ever claimed that you had to be part of a lawsuit to get an interview. If anything there is a good chance that it is because of everyone that joined the law suit that Sydney is now beginning to even move.
100% Agee - without the lawsuit and the looming deadline for the govt, no way would any interviews have be scheduled yet.

I'll have to go back and review the posts on this thread when I have nothing else to do, as it's a Friday night, however if I recall correctly, someone (maybe you?) previously posted that the only hope of an interview was to be on a lawsuit because there was no guarantee of class certification???
Regardless, if the lawsuit did cause the SYD Consulate to start accepting cases, the fair thing to do would be at least FIRST start accepting cases that are named plaintiffs on the lawsuit, and by your own words none of the cases SYD Consulate have now accepted are on the lawsuit.
Just because 3 cases have been accepted by the SYD Consulate doesn't get me overly excited, wait until the 2NLs are issued and, importantly, what date the interviews are scheduled for, before you start popping the corks. Would be easy for DOS to put data before a judge saying SYD is interviewing, but if the interviews are not until July or later it's not good for the somewhere between 500-1000 AU selectees (holes factored it) that are meant to be interviewed in SYD.

That is not the link I was provided. The link I was emailed goes direct to the NZ Consulate booking site and starts with www.ustraveldocs.com/(country). I tried to reschedule myself online when I first needed to and was not able to as the consulate had to approve the reschedule and then I had to sign up online, and now again I have to wait for them to approve the request for access to the online booking calendar which will take 1-2 business days to receive the second email. The process definitely needs refining. To clarify the process and timeline I have gone through for anyone else who may need this information:
- 27 Jan 22 Requested to reschedule with NZ Consulate (unable to enter NZ due to border restrictions and not successful with MIQ lottery).
- 07 Feb 22 NZ Consulate informed me I had to send all HARD/ORIGINAL copies of my documents before they would accept a reschedule.
- 15 Feb 22 Hard copies sent via FEDEX priority from USA and AUS to NZ (2-3 day express shipping).
- 01 Mar 22 Hard copies received by NZ Consulate (Local and customs shipping delays as well as NZ Consulate closure due to COVID effected this timeline).
- 16 Mar 22 NZ Consulate emailed to say I am able to re-schedule appointment now.
- 16 Mar 22 Online application to request an appointment completed at www.ustraveldocs.com/nz
- 18 Mar 22 (Today) Still awaiting the second email to gain access to online scheduling website, am anticipating this should be received by Mon 21 Mar.

I disagree with this statement.
Those that joined Jesse’s lawsuit are aware that the lawsuit does not necessarily give preferential treatment for an interview. Those that didn’t know there’s a risk that by not joining they may miss out as there is the possibility only named plaintiffs get an interview.
Commenting that the fair thing to do is “FIRST start accepting named plantiffs on the lawsuit” suggests that money should buy your way in and tough luck to those that can’t afford to buy their way in.
I may be the only one with this view but I don’t think a society where money and power “buy” you what you want is a FAIR society. Irrespective of whether it’s a DV lottery, access to medical care, access to everyday needs.
As a named plantiff in any lawsuit, I would be happy to see the ball get rolling for anyone whether it was my case of not. It’s called paying it forward for the greater good of all.
Right now the world needs more kind spirited unselfish people who are happy to pay it forward like @Britsimon does every day.
