Hey Will,

sorry its taken me almost a week to reply! things have been crazy, literally working everyday! My case number was 643! Though i didn't really follow or understand the cut off and what not, i literally just waited and kept checking back on the DV website on any updates! fingers crossed things update for you and good luck!

So stress on the timing, thanks for the reply mate its much appreciated! Hope all is working out for you over there!

Ok Great I will unlock it tonight and update it then email KCC. Thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it!

I think it sounds like the safest option given the unknowns involved. I will do that and then email KCC to ensure they received the change.  IS there a cutoff date to adjust the DS260 or is it able to be changed until the interview is scheduled?

Ok thanks for the advice Suzie.

I have just checked the britsimon historical data and mu number has typically come up in the Feburary Visa Bulletin. With this in mind do you think that would be very risky given my April 25 Visa expiration in London?

I think perhaps you're right and that a return to Australia may be the safest option? Is it a matter of just unlocking my DS-260 to change my preferred interview location to make that change?

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the information Suzie I really appreciate it . I will jump on and have a look On britsimonsays.

Hi HDeisel4,

Thanks so much for the thorough summary mate it has eased my mind alot to hear it all go smoothly. I was lucky enough to win for the 2018 lottery!

I just had a question for you- What was your case number? My case Number is approximately 700 (of approximately 1400 visas for Oceania) and I am trying to wrap my head around when my interview will be as I am living over in London. 

Cheers mate

Will

Hi All,

I am an Australian and was lucky enough to win the DV Lottery for 2018. I am extremely excited but just trying to wrap my head around interview timing.

I am currently living in London and will do my interview here in London. However, my UK visa expires at the end of April 2018 and I am concerned this is going to be close to when my Interview is Scheduled.

My case number is roughly 700 (of about 1400 visas for Oceania Region).

Does anyone have experience Interviewing in London or had to change their interview Location in an emergency?

I would really appreciate any insights.

Thanks very much
