Unsure if you should wait till your current then ask Sydney to Transfer (was very fast to transfer consulates when Sydney had my case, done within a day). I feel its no point in changing while its not current.

For that transfer to occur, Sydney needs your case. Meaning you have an interview scheduled. If you want to do it via KCC, you then have to wait for KCC to send it to Suva

This is coming from my experience last year where I asked to transfer from Syd to a different consulate. If KCC doesn't send the case to the embassy there is nothing you can do about it, other than getting KCC to change it and send to Suva.
Hi Gang,
I have also received a response to an email from the Suva Embassy, boldly stating they are commencing Sydney Based DV Cases from May '22.
The email states they have requested my case be transferred there from Sydney (2022OC2XX) and will send further instruction.
I've read the above comments and understand this may be difficult, but will wait and see what happens, worth a shot ...

Looking forward to updates, thanks Maximum! Will be interesting to see if Sydney play ball and make it an easy process
Hey Folks
just catching up on the messages on this forum after about a month. Apologies in advance if I've misread or misunderstood any of the recent posts. So from what I can see, Melbourne is taking cases as well as Fiji now as well. So having a high CN range 23xx which i'm aware a number of us are and some here are predicting that it could go current by June/July is there anything we can do now to transfer the interview location to Melbourne or Fiji even if our number isn't current right now and haven't got the 2nl yet? If we can how do we go about doing this?

You dont transfer to Melbourne, its just where they will schedule you it seems (as in you dont have to initiate or ask for anything). I've only seen one or two others say that those 4 cases are scheduled for Melbourne so not sure where that info has come from (other than Sydney saying they are doing other IV's there) so not sure its guaranteed to be Melbourne yet. There has only been 4 cases accepted (and not sure they even have interview dates yet). Fiji is apparently only taking those that are current I believe and plan to start interviewing them in May, so if you arent current all you can do is sit and continue to wait.
For those that do end up considering transferring to Fiji, they've told people you have to do the medical there, so expect it to at least be a couple day trip not a there and back in 1 or 2 days. A lot of us are hesitant to since we're part of the lawsuit and requesting to transfer to Fiji basically takes us out of it since its against Sydney but seems like a good option for those that aren't and should also help those with higher CN since it means Sydney will have less of a backlog to go through when they do open.
Thanks @BrisOC22 . I'm one of those that aren't part of the lawsuit like a number of others, so good to know that option might be there for us if it goes current for those with high CN and we get the 2nl

Sorry, why do we suspect OC to go current by June/July (i.e. next couple of bulletins)? Seems like SYD doing some interviews is the only real change here, but even then, they have only issued a few 2nl's. So, is there something else at play, or is this more just a hope at this point?
Collating the relevant EVIDENCE…advice above has now been referred to as quote “useless” by the subject expert. Lolzy
My case number is OC009XX and I have submitted my DS260 in July but had to unlock and resubmit in first of November. The mistake back then was mother's surname at birth and mother's name. This time I have submitted mother's surname at birth and mother's give names at birth (on the family page). No response from KCC yet. Not sure what is happening. Not sure if the mother's given name is supposed to be mother current name or what? Her current name is shorter version of her name at birth and the middle name is different to at birth middle name. Could this have caused the delay in response?
I do not think the order of the name is enough to prevent your interview - especially given documentation is now not required until the interview. Just make sure you have her birth certificate or some proof of her name at birth just to ensure the consulate officer can sight evidence of the correct name. It is not unusual to not hear from the KCC. Just double check that the DS-260 is showing 'completed' on the CEAC website.
Nope, the 4 cases are still mystery people
Unusual though considering sydneys high approval rate. Can only assume it was people that either lied on their DS260 or didn't prepare properly.Would most likely just be AP, perhaps medicals as not a lot of time between 2NL and interview (~2weeks)Nope, the 4 cases are still mystery people
