Oceania OC 2026 Winners Thread

Same here. Issued on 23rd September - we could have done without the last 2 weeks of handwringing :)
 
Same with me! Oh well….does anyone know if we get the original documents back after the process is over? Trying to work out if I order new originals of everything in case?
 
so good to see everyone get their dates!

I know what i need to send off but could someone just explain exactly what i need to provide the US consulate?

Just to calm my nerves down haha

For the interview, we'll be taking financial records, all passports, printouts of 1NL & 2NL & medical results envelope (unopened). I think that's it, unless I've missed something...
 
How long after AFP receiving your federal police with fingerprints check application do they email the payment receipt? I’m paying by credit card.
Thank you!

We never got a receipt emailed, (at least not yet) but I could see the money taken out from our account the day after they received it on our bank records.

Same. Looks like my application was received last Tuesday and the money came out the next day, but I haven't had a confirmation or receipt.
 
They seem to be moving through the cases quickly if they’re already interviewing in the 900s’ !! Interesting, wish we had some data around selectees
Once a number becomes current it significance is greatly reduced. The fact that someone with 2026OC900 got scheduled only means that their DS-260 was processed in timer. It definitely doesn't mean that everyone else with numbers between 1 and 899 were scheduled already.

Are you saying that it is insignificant that they are interviewing case number 900 a couple months into the fiscal year? What does that tell us do you think?

Obviously know one has any information whether they interviewed every single case between 1-899, it’s a quite a stretch to imagine that they are THAT efficient wouldn’t you say!
