DV 2022 OC Selectees

How lucky are we that Suva are so accommodating.. We would all be up that infamous creek otherwise!

Totally agree. Can't believe their speed as well as I was expecting to wait until June to get my 2nl since it was about a week ago when I requested the transfer
 
Hi all, sorry I'm not 100% sure on how the 2NL process works but would we still expect NZ to potentially send some 2NL's in this batch too or would these likely have gone out today if there were any? It's looking like I may need to consider the embassy swap to Suva from what I'm seeing
 
For Sydney people interviewing in Fiji: when you “register your appointment online”, do you just update your profile or do you attempt to link your interview date too?

Im not 100% either but I think NZ would have got them today. As there was 74 new 2NL's today, and only 71 of those were Suva (not sure on the other 3). But to me that implies all of the OC ones went out at the same time together, but again I'm not 100%. Maybe its just coincidence those other 3 went out on the same day due to a bunch of different embassies sending out a bunch

Same question here. There's only non-immigrant visa options available when I try to register my appointment. We could ask the Fiji DV 2022 thread instead?

I must be missing something - where does it tell you to register your appointment?

Is it in the http://dvselectee.state.gov (which isn't working for me) noted in the 2NL?

The only thing I've been requested to do was by Suva who requested 'Please provide your DS-260 confirmation numbers at your earliest'

Did a quick google, I think they are referring to the steps on this page - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/SUV-Suva.html

I don't think this is required? They didn't ask any of us to do this in their instructions at all. Seems like its more if you are selecting your own date like you do for a lot of non immigrant visas (hence why there's only non-immigrant visas to choose from). I had to do this for my J1 visa at the Sydney embassy a few years ago. This is for something unrelated to DV. We only have to do what they tell us to do in the instructions they email you.

It does have this at the bottom though? Im a little confused now. Still 99% sure we don't need it or they would have told us.

If we receive a interview with the Suva embassy is there any chance that will be taken away from me? I have a high case number OC24xx will I get bumped down if lower case numbers come in? Or once you receive an interview date that means your gona get it. Thanks!

See these previous posts. It's not guaranteed but is likely. Your interview date won't change once you get it though, so even if more people come after you, even if they are lower CN your interview date will not change.

Great thanks that’s good info. I requested to change my embassy from Auckland to Suva and they have sent the request to the KCC. They said they’ll be scheduling interviews for August/September next so if I get one and as long as the visa bulletin doesn’t retrogress and make me uncurrent I should be ok. Where is the info on Regional Quotas?
 
When they say the payment needs to be in cash, do they mean immediate payment (rather than cheque etc)? Or do they mean literal cash?

“Diversity Visa Application Fees of USD330 or FJD726 per person. The fees is payable in cash at the Embassy on the day of your interview. Please note, the Embassy does not accept pre-2006 series in US currency. As with all consular services fees, this fee is non-refundable regardless of the decision on the application”

I believe its literal cash (at least thats what the others that have been interviewed have paid with). Most are just exchanging money in aus before they head over. The medical (at least epworth clinic) is also cash only.

Sorry, do we still need to update our profile? Or we don’t deal with that step at all?

I didn’t do this step at all.

You can see the results at the very bottom of the Save Diversity Website where you select the specific date. It says 71 for Suva and 1 for Kinshasa (so 2 missing).

So if the statistics are saying there is 38,000 green cards issued or ready and there is 55,000 available with mainly only August/September left for scheduling interviews, they can't possibly reach the quota can they? So why would they bother retrogressing the case numbers in the visa bulletin?
