DV 2022 OC Selectees

Wow, they ARE responsive - I've already received confirmation from them that they're requesting the transfer....

Yeah I’d say it’s Sydney that causes a couple of weeks wait between confirmation that Fiji will take the case and receiving the 2nl :/

I don’t think Sydney has anything to do with the transfer, it’s just KCC being slow/ dysfunctional lol
 
Also I think it’s probably because 2NLs are only sent out after the 15th each month? So guessing everyone will have to wait another 2 weeks from now for the 2NL

Smile on my face for those getting their DVs issued. Thx for sharing your notes.

Has anyone on the legal cases heard anything? I haven't heard much from Immpact and its a very slow, drawn out process. I further don't see any expediency in what they are doing such as "we will lodge in the next few weeks or so". My thoughts are how about "now"!

How anyone having luck with Jessies case?

Forgot to respond to this, Jesse's is going well, but also slow and drawn out. Ie we file something, they file to dismiss, we file something back, and so on. With usually like 1 month between each thing. So it's going well and we have a deadline for a decision to be made at least, but are still trying to get the government to settle it outside before that as it's awhile away. Sydney is still being stubborn though, even if you request to transfer to Melbourne now they reply saying you cannot transfer to Melbourne, Perth or Canberra. Which makes no sense since Melbourne did some DV interviews.

It doesn’t work like that. You don’t just get a green card when you are selected in the DV lottery, you’ve simply been selected for further processing…

You’re not owed anything, you’ve just been given the keys to open the first door in the process to become a PR, and whether or not you continue with the process and go through that first door, doesn’t mean you’ll get the keys to open the next one i.e., be approved. People apply and win every year and not follow through with the first step aka, open the first door (for many reasons), doesn’t mean they lost anything. They technically haven’t won anything in the first place.

You need to relax lol, you’re thought process is as useless as buying a ticket in the lotto and planning what you are going to do with the money, except actually believeing you are going to win and stressing yourself out over something that you have no control over or has even happened. Worry about it when/ if it happens.

I’m chilling lol I didn’t rant or write a big paragraph no offence or anything just simple questions about the curiosity of 3 years winning the dv…

I had high case numbers the last 2 years and missed out on being interviewed before the deadline. High case number again this year and Sydney isn't even open so I'm considering a transfer to Suva.
As has been discussed on here, being selected for further processing is no guarantee of a green card, it's just the first step of the process. If you get a high case number like I have in the past, you may not even make it to the interview stage. I learnt this the hard way the first time I was selected and since then, I won't even get my hopes up until I see a 2NL..

Too true, I agree. Do you know if you need to have family ties or residents in embassy B country if requesting transfer after 2NL if embassy A is slow/closed etc

Yes you need to have family ties or be working there. I requested Mexico City as it’s close (already on a working visa in US) and they declined as I don’t have family or workplace ties. But all good to transfer to Suva! Haha. Doesn’t make sense but luckily we had Simon to set that expectation for us at the outset. Imagine going into this without the decade of experience and info
 
Yeah I just had a look at britsimons blog about the transfer. The blog says you can transfer B country(embassy) if you have friends there as well that can host
Edit: so Australians can go to Suva for a transfer without any family ties or workplace?

I don’t think you can in a normal year. This is an exception due to Sydney being closed. Suva was declining transfers up until a month ago. Same with Auckland (they still aren’t accepting either afaik)

Pretty much every question you’ve Asked has already been answered in this thread btw so might be better off just reading through from page 1 if you want to be super prepared. Otherwise it’s just asking people to reanswer stuff because you aren’t bothered to read back (not saying this in a negative way just saying lol)

yeah over 80 pages long…:confused: well last question for thread sake lol
Just say the Sydney embassy doesn’t open/move and stays voluntary closed for a whole year, can Australians change embassy’s to Suva, Auckland or any other pacific island regions without having residents or ties to B country ?

@Ryanscr , what was your case number range in previous years versus this year?

I'm OC22xx and in Sydney, so in the same boat as many tossing up the transfer to Suva or waiting on news regarding the Sydney Consulate.

I only put my request in this week, but my response from Suva said 'KCC may schedule your interview in June and/or in a later month.'
