DV 2022 OC Selectees

and yours did, so what are you complaining about?

and yes, immigrant visa scheduling does work very differently to non immigrant visas by the way. Been there, done that.

Thanks for the clarification, I’m sure that felt good! I was wrong, you were right!
SusieQQQ said:
Just for clarification, as I said one should also check embassy websites

Third-Country Nationals: Routine appointments for applicants not ordinarily resident in Mexico are not available at this time. Any applicant currently residing in the United States who seeks to extend their legal stay should contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Servicesgo

It’s got nothing to do with “feeling good”. Being wrong vs right is important when continued statements of wrong notions may mislead others, sometimes seriously. Most people consider this a once in a lifetime opportunity, and even if unintentionally done, statements that may lead other people to jeopardize their cases should be addressed. Example: Someone with a high case number laboring under the idea that say country A is fine because they chose it off the drop down menu may be sharply disadvantaged finding out not long before fiscal year end that actually their interview is scheduled for the other side of the world, and now they suddenly need 3 weeks off work that they don’t have to travel there (to get medicals done in time for a successful interview and be there for the required wait to get their passport back), and discovering it all too late to have time to change it to another embassy or to AOS, as applicable.

The entire reason this forum exists is to help people successfully get their visas or green cards, and that includes dispelling incorrect ideas as well as information on what needs to be done.

No doubt, can’t fault that. I’ll refrain from commenting any wrong information.

I think it only needs to be the selectee - even though in this case you are both principals.

Although, I think surely you are too pessimistic on the prospects for the vaccine rollout in Aus? Do you really think lockdowns for another year? (The reason in my understanding they’re still happening is because vaccinations are at a low level, surely that will improve markedly over the next few months?) anyway - you can certainly watch the next few months and see what looks best

Sadly so, looking at AU snap lock downs and the slow vaccine role out I don't think we can bank on going back to AU. The flight caps and the thought of spending 14 days in a hotel with a 7 mth old and 3.5 year old are a little off putting! Plus the cost of 3 business class flights and hotel quarantine - $20k?? and that's not including time spent in Aus. If London embassy is open it would make sense to go back there, hopefully travel corridor will open soon. Our case number is super low 2XX, and my husbands current EAD expires in Jan. So we would hope to get the GC before the EAD expires.

London states that they are processing all categories of immigrant visas, though warns of backlogs. Hopefully the backlogs will improve over the remainder of this year.

I renewed my e3 last month but I am not sure I want to go down the AOS route. What is the timeline for AOS right now? I heard DV is bottom of the pile
Click to expand...
no, DV is bottom of pile for visas because of the backlogs… AOS seems pretty normal DV wise.. you’d probably be better off doing AOS if that’s an option imo
 
Hi Everyone, I am just wondering how many selectees there are on this thread that have a CN 2022OC that is less than 250? and if you are, have you submitted your DS-260 yet? and have you submitted documents to get document qualified without being asked? Thank you.

I'm a lot higher than you but if my number was below 250, I would be sending those docs pretty soon.. Did my DS260 last month

We submitted our DS260s 12th May and emailed our documents through late June. We have fingers and toes crossed for an early interview.

I have a higher case number but submitted my DS260 around the same time as you. Is it recommended to send your documents through before they send an email asking for it? Can you please describe what was the process for this and if you received a confirmation email to say that your documents were received?

We have been following @Britsimon's advice and watching all his YouTube videos. He has suggested sending through documents before we are asked to send them. BritSimon has a whole video on his YouTube channel dedicated to how to put your documents together and send them in. I recommend that you watch this as it was very helpful.

Hi Syd2022, I'm a slightly higher case number (60X) and am planning to send docs in the next week or so. Just wanted to check if you heard back from KCC after submitting? Did they confirm you were Doc Qualified/Ready for Scheduling?

Hi AusOC, we received the automated email saying they have ben received. However, we haven't had a request for documents (in the case they have missed our email) nor have we received an email saying that we are document qualified. We are hoping to hear something from KCC early August, when DV2022 kicks off in the AugVB. however, this very much depends on whether KCC starts on time and also whether Sydney is still in lockdown. We don't know of any CN's that are lower than ours, that have submitted both their DS-260 and their documents. If there is anyone, I would assume they will be in front of us.

Fingers crossed we start seeing movement in the next few weeks ahead of the August VB! Keep us posted if you do receive confirmation of your docs. I'm going to by Sydney consulate also, hoping for an early 2022 interview. I would like to say we will be out of lockdown by October but who knows at this point!!
