Good on you and all the best!Just received my interview date for Suva! Seems they are indeed going in order of CN and not change request date. Mines for early July, so anyone else that has requested a transfer can expect it to be July onwards! Unbelievably excited and happy

Is this because of the AP?Just a heads up to everyone over 1200 that got interviews in may…:you will get your visa in June….
Is that because they aren’t current until June?Is this because of the AP?
Not really much data to go on, but everyone that requested in the last 3-4 weeks all received there's on the same day. So if they continue that pattern then it seems like big chunks once a month. So if you transfer now Id expect a big chunk 3-4 weeks from now to receive August/Sept interviews. But again not much data to go off, so maybe now that they're caught up they'll do a few here and there but who knowsHow often is Suva giving out 2NLs? Are they doing them in big chunks once or twice a month

Hi everyone.
Just checking to see if people are bringing their original degrees to the interview? Or will a digital printed version be suffice?

After reading people here requesting a transfer from Sydney to Suva, I initially said I wouldn't pursue this course of action, but have changed my mind - thanks everyone here for inspiration and motivation! Have emailed Suva today requesting the transfer. CN: 20XX.
I had my uni prepare a formal certificate of graduate status and had it "DFAT" stamped... I read someone that this should be completed. Unsure what uni you went to. Go to your uni website and search DFAT stamp. I decided to bring this document rather than having to take the formal testamursHi everyone.

My number was not current until June but I was given a May date for interview. I think us sending our Fiji PC early to the embassy may have helped our case....just my guess though.Is that because they aren’t current until June?

From my observation over the past 2 months they send them out in one big chunk. E.g I received mine on April 19 and it was a long list.How often is Suva giving out 2NLs? Are they doing them in big chunks once or twice a month

Not sure if you're interviewing in Suva but I assume you are if you're asking about what to take. In the email Suva sent me after my 2NL the instructions say "Your original academic certificates and transcripts, plus one photocopy of each;", so I'll be taking my original degree since that's what they are asking for. If you want to be on the safe side I'd recommend just following their instructions lol (although its annoying, mines framed so I'm going to have to get it out, not the end of the world)Hi everyone.

Hey Folks
my friend who's heading to the US today who got her DV a few months ago, told me that you have to be in the US before 30 Sep otherwise your visa is not valid. Is that true as I was under the impression you have within 6 months from the time you get your medical. So for me i'm getting my medical done on July 18 so was under the impression that I have until Jan 18 next year to be in the US.

It is within 6 months of your medical exam, you're correct. You just have to be issued the visa before sep 30 (not entered/activated or anything).Hey Folks

Thanks so much @AUMatt. We live in a rural area and haven't found anyone who can give us a straight answer yet. We were told that it is possible that the answer may vary from state to state -depending of state property state laws....but this is just hearsayI've been put in touch with a US tax accountant & have requested a consultation. I'm concerned about this type of thing too, along with what my obligations may be if I don't move straight away. I'll report back after my appointment...
Hi what do they mean by transcripts. For primary and high school proof of graduation, I'll just be taking my graduation certificates? Is this not sufficient? I'm unsure what transcripts are? Help please. Thanks.Not sure if you're interviewing in Suva but I assume you are if you're asking about what to take.

Transcripts are like... your report cards. Your history of your grades/how well you did. I'm not sure if they have asked anyone for this or if they only asked for High School certificate.Hi what do they mean by transcripts.

Thanks for clarifying, not sure where my friend got that idea from. She said that she was told that at her interview which she did in London. She must have misheard or something. Its even on the DV state website.It is within 6 months of your medical exam, you're correct. You just have to be issued the visa before sep 30 (not entered/activated or anything).
