1. Email the Suva embassy asking for a transfer
2. Only once you’re scheduled for an interview will you receive your 2nl

No, not necessary. Suva will look after it once they agree to take you on.

no, everyone is current now. You can’t unlock. Suva will take care of it
@aussiechris are you able to tell us how you did this starting from the right email address for the Suva Embassy, to the subject line and what you wrote. Don't want to sound too nitpicky, just want to make sure I can at least get that aspect right since i've had a few stuff ups from my end along the way, with the DS 260 to ordering the right police certificate lol.
I called the embassy on Friday and they told me to email SuvaIV@state.gov and to also include my case details in the email.
The email is also correct based off the embassy's information found on https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/iv-dv-supplemental/SUV_Fiji.pdf
I'm assuming the specific email deals with all Immigrant Visas so specifying first with "Diversity Visa: Request for Interview Location Change - Applicant Name" should suffice as an email subject line
I included the reason for transferring my case, my residing address (I'm moving back to Suva so I included my home address, since my visa in Australia is expiring soon), DV case number, principal applicant's full name, and DOB.
Expect slow processing times since I'm guessing a lot of people will be trying to transfer their case and the embassy handling other non DVL immigration visas

yes I didn't think about that, that there could be a now a potential backlog if this catches on. I'm potentially thinking of waiting for the results of DV23 and If I get selected and low case number for that, just proceeding with DV 23, though its a good point you raise about there now being a potential backlog. I'm really unsure of the best thing to do. I'd be curious to see who else from here is going the Fiji route. I know a few have mentioned already. Though @xyzuka what do that those of us that aren't from Fiji, put as a residing address, as I don't know or have any family/friends in Fiji and if I was to go over there to do it, I'd be staying at a hotel though I wouldn't be booking this unless I get the interview for Fiji

OC 23XX here, this is the first time I am actually posting here, I have submitted my DS-260 in actober but then I had to amend it again and I resubmit it in March., now that my number is current, when i should expext the 2nl letter? Also where I can check to see if my case Is DQ yet or not?
thank you
thank you
When you will get your 2nl depends on what embassy you are interviewing at. If it’s Sydney then not any time soon as almost no one has gotten theirs since they aren’t open, so you’ll have to wait til they open and get through the backlog.
I've asked two people who have had interviews there over the past couple of months. One was asked to show funds, the other wasn't. Pretty sure it's just at the discretion of the consular officer so it's best to take proof just in case

Hey Ryan, can I ask what their process was like? Just so I can have an idea how long I need to plan to be over there
Hi Everyone,
I was thinking now might be a good time for people to start updating our aussie tracker for DV2022 again, that way people who have interviews, won't get hammered with lots of repeat questions and it will give people a really good idea of where everyone is at in terms of getting a 2NL and also when their interview is scheduled.

Well the two people I spoke to were both Fijian nationals living in Fiji so their experience is obviously going to be a bit different to any Aussies flying over.
It looks like you'll be the first one to head over there so I think you're going to be our test case!
I haven't noticed anyone in this forum currently residing in and being interviewed in either of those two places.
Groovy times

Is there anyone on here who is having or has had their medical in UK and who was vaccinated with AstraZeneca for COVID?
I'm not sure 100% if it is eligible for US migrant visa applications even though it is a WHO approved (for emergency vaccinations). Cheers

From my understanding it is fine.
They stated or medicals : The CDC requires the COVID-19 vaccine to be approved through either the World Health Organization (WHO) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
I might be wrong, but think it’s fine.

Thank you, my interview office is going to be Abu Dhabi. I was reading the forum yesterday and it came to my attention that there was a person with case number higher than me and has already got his 2nl for london. Any Idea about Abu Dhabi, how they work ? what is the rate of processing interviews there?
