DV 2022 OC Selectees

It’s a gamble Shezza. Suva are helping aussies out by scheduling interviews. Everyone is DQ atm, which is why someone with a higher number was scheduled for an interview. If I were you I’d schedule the interview for Suva

My first hurdle is getting the 2nl like alot of us with the high CN, thought i'd ask what my chances were of getting this since NY9 got his who's CN was higher though he submitted his DS 260 in July whereas I did it in late Oct. I Spose the issue is then should I be trying to change the interview location now to Fiji/Auckland, since that is opening up for Aussies or do i just wait it out and hope Sydney will be all good, someone on here said that may be happening next month.

Oh great! Anyone done it yet? How long would we have to be there for the medical etc? Flights seem pretty reasonable...

A few of us have - I asked to transfer late March and received 2NL this week.
For now plan is to be there for just over a week (Fly Thursday, medical Friday, interview Monday, fly home that Friday) .
From all accounts Suva are also really efficient at getting passports ready (1 day or less) so will see if that holds true.

Not really a day…about a week….unless ur picking it up from the embassy
 
Hi Team,

Does anyone know how important it is to have the flu shot prior to the medical?

The one and only chemist in my rural town does not have them available yet : /

Sorry for the boring question, I am just trying to tick all the boxes before my medical, next Thursday.

Congrats on the 2nl! When is your interview? You'll have to let us know about the process and time it takes to get everything done etc
 
AusOC said:

Yea imagine it like a vacation….I know it’s kinda expensive here if ur staying at a hotel but that shouldn’t be an issue for you guys…but in my mom case it was about a week but I guess that’s because we live in a different city maybe…nevertheless all the best for your interview your about a week earlier than mine….

Its required during flu season (not sure what months exactly). Best off emailing the place you plan on doing your medical at and asking though. They'll be able to give you a better answer than anyone here

Wow, that's amazing! Congrats!! When is the interview? - Did they give you much notice to book flights? Please keep us updated on how you progress through their system.

I'm going to have to take a gander at Expedia....

Hi Maximum,
We had our medicals last week (but in Paris) and they weren't concerned about flu jabs but definitely that we had all our Covid ones. We also had to get a couple of top-up vaccines since we are both in our 40s and what we had as kids were no longer sufficient.

Do you know how long it takes to get your medical results? Do they electronically send to the Suva embassy? Or do you get a physical copy of the results?
 
Hi Everyone, this might be a silly question. If numbers above 1200 are CURRENT only as of June, how are people with numbers above 2000 getting scheduled for interviews for May? I thought that a visa couldn't be issued before the visa month that the visa bulletin deemed it available?

Also congrats to all those scheduled!

Hi friends,

Perth-based winner here. Spent five years in Vancouver, Canada pre-COVID and am considering transferring to the Montreal embassy for my interview. Has anyone had an interview there recently? Would love to know what your experience was like and what the wait times are there? Apparently the Vancouver embassy doesn't do immigration visa interviews unfortunately :( Thanks in advance!

What CN are you?
Are you DQ’d?

If you have the means to relocate to Canada (like you hold a Canadian PR or citizenship or valid work visa) and you are desperate then I would take the risk and move and transfer the case.
MTL scheduled up to OC2300 this week, I believe for June.

There’s a few more MTL cases waiting for their 2NL, but they are super high CNs from other regions and they are not DQ yet.

Hmm, I'm seriously considering that, especially if there's a good chance of getting an interview. I have a a couple of questions and apologies in advance if I'm behind the 8ball here:

1. How do I go about transferring my case/interview to Suva, I have not recevied any emails or letters since submitting my DS 260 in Oct 2021. Do you have to unlock and resubmit the DS 260

2. People are saying that everyone is automatically DQ'd i thought you had to get an email from KCC to say this? Is this because its all current and you only have to submit documents at the interview?
