Regional quota is for visas issued not scheduled. The number you should be looking at is 213. They have still a long way to go. Not everybody that's currently scheduled for interview will appear, not everybody will be issued. They won't get anywhere near the quota till August/September.My question is:
Based on what you've seen for previous years, when would you see Oceania getting to their cap of 850?
Would this be beyond April?
Basically trying to get a feel on what my chances are at the moment based on the fact that the cap is at about 75% of the total.
Moreover, regional quota is not a hard limit and more often than not, OC in particular, some regions get more visas than they should according to the quota formula (see e.g. FY24 - OC got 1.1k). The only hard limits are: the total number of visas (~52k this year) and the 7% country cap.
