Ask anyone who has jumped out of a plane about ground rush. The effect can be unsettling, and for some, the end isn’t good.
The DV lottery is a lot like that in some years. This will be one of those years – at least for some.
Yesterday the VB for July interviews was published. Some were surprised about the AF jump (although that should not have been a surprise to those paying attention), AS region reached a high number (although I was surprised it’s didn’t go current). EU region had a horrible month (another horrible month). OC and SA are behaving in an utterly predictable way.
So what is going on?
Well, the end of the DV lottery year in over selected years (like DV2018) is always a bit unpredictable. Several times this year I have cautioned people to look back to DV2015 and what happened to AF region in particular. Over the past couple of years the lottery was underselected, so the outcome was easy to predict. So – this year, as the year gets late, people are surprised to read “wait and see” all the time, but in reality that is “normal” for over selected years.
In reality, KCC and the visa office are having to juggle a lot of balls in the air. This year has been harder than most because of new security measures, the travel ban and so on. There are many people waiting for the supreme court decision, but time is running out for those people. However, it must be a factor for KCC/VO. Something, (probably the newish DS5535) is slowing up embassy work. At some embassies ( Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire for instance), there are many people expecting June interviews that have not been scheduled and will now be given July interviews. Now with the big jump yesterday, that gives some concern.
We can see issued numbers and progress at Xarthisius’ site – thanks to him and the people that continue to help with scraping. Now, for those that read my update about quotas, they will have seen my discussing the quotas, and the possibility for a region to exceed the quotas (either by redistribution or by using Nacara allocation). I am NOT saying that WILL happen – just that it can happen.
AS region is massively affected by the travel ban. If the ban is not lifted Iranian and Yemeni selectees have little or no chance of getting their visas. Because of security delays, trhat might already be the case anyway – even if the ban were lifted today.
So – AS region will most likely not meet the quota. Those visas could be redistributed – if they know early enough. I think that is quite likely – but I was actually expecting AS to be current yesterday to enable that decision.
So, redistribution from AS could help other regions.
AF region might also underfill. In fact – DV2015 is an example of that. In that year, AF region was underfilled (somewhat deliberately) and EU region benefitted. In fact, in DV2015 there were AF numbers up to 90,000. They cutoff the region at 50,000 and left AF under quota. The reasoning can only be that AF could not meet it’s quota because of embassy capacity and processing delays, so in that case, EU was able to continue taking visas above it’s quota.
So – if KCC/VO decided that should happen again – what would they have to do.
Well first they would have to give AF region the best chance possible. AF region has been slow to use it’s visas, many no shows, refusals, and delays. To try and get the region to take as many visas as possible, they would have a big jump and try and schedule as many interviews as possible (they did that yesterday). The quieter embassies would be able to handle some more cases, other embassies might not. In some cases we would see appointments being pushed to later months (we are already seeing that and I suspect we will see more soon). So – the conditions for a redistribution from AF are being created. AF is entitled to as many visas as it can use within the quota, but if the visas cannot be used, it is better to plan to redistribute some to other regions.
Now – EU region would be the largest beneficiary of any such redistribution. Early processing has gone very fast, issued numbers are high. If the quota is strictly enforced (and it might be), there are only about 5000 visas left and EU is issuing about 2000 per month. So – the slow down of VB pace for EU “seems” to suggest they are shooting for the basic quota. They would try and reduce the pace of issuance to make the visas last until September. That is what yesterday was about.
If there were a redistribution there could be a small benefit to OC and SA region also. SA was a beneficiary of that type of redistribution in DV2017.
Best of luck to all waiting. I was in your position and I was in an over selected year. I “get” the frustration and fear. However, at this point we cannot be certain that they are, or are not, planning to exceed the quota. And THAT is why “wait and see” is the only sensible answer. For those of you that think I have some “inside information” and really know what is about to happen – I don’t. And to be clear, none of you do either. We can predict, and you might be right, but none of us really know.
Just a quick note – next week we will see a flood of newbies for DV-2019. Not having to answer “wait and see” 100 times a day would free up some of my time! Remember to include your year when giving your case number.

Can you be denied of the visa if your HIV positive
May 12, 2018 at 00:48
No.
May 11, 2018 at 18:06
is there any legal grounds that enables those winners with refusal status due to the travel ban to be contacted and given visas if the travel ban is lifted?
is this legally an option?
Embassies were saying we will call you back if travel ban is lifted
May 11, 2018 at 18:11
I understood everything except the chapter that I need to understand: EU. 🙁 someone to explain me?
May 11, 2018 at 18:13
There is nothing certain in the article. It’s just speculation, so ALL you need to understand is “wait and see”.
May 12, 2018 at 05:38
Lionel,
If I understand well, Simon says that because of the quotas, EU has only 5.000 visas left to give.
EU ambassies are able’ to distribute 2.000 visas per month and there are more than 4 months left of interviews. So they had to slow down the pace for EU to distribute those 5.000 visa in 4 months instead than distributing them in 2 and and half months.
Hope it helps.
I keep my fingers crossed for you!
May 11, 2018 at 18:11
Thank you so much Mr Brit for putting this up. We’ll take your words and believe things would workout for us because you’ve helped many in the past and we too shall make it.
May 11, 2018 at 18:12
thanks for you countless energy into the DV program/Info. eventhough I won and was delivered the visa I keep coming here to get your thoughts on the subject
May 11, 2018 at 18:14
What about Egypt this is normal. .
What do u think about 23000 from Egypt is safe? ?
May 11, 2018 at 18:15
I don’t know.
May 11, 2018 at 18:16
It’s just a hunch, but I think the reason why they are holding back Asia from going current is the high number of ready cases. I would guess that whatever formula they use to determine the progress takes into consideration how many ready cases there already are, and (being American bureaucrats) they aren’t taking into consideration the plain fact that the high number of readys is a result of the ban. In a sense it is the cautious thing to do–if, for whatever reason, all of the people in the ready list all of a sudden decide to opt for an interview (either because the ban is lifted, or because people realize that they have nothing to lose at this point, or because aliens have landed and told them to do so), they theoretically might end up being short of visas.
Then again–last year they were willing to take this risk and rush through the numbers. I think that the fact that they chose not to do it this year speaks volumes about their willingness to redistribute. If they were indeed laying the ground for distribution later in the year, I think that the more obvious signs would appear in AS, not in AF. I think that both regions ultimately exhibit the kind of progress you would (and actually you did Brit) expect, given the decrease in density and the low issuance rate.
May 11, 2018 at 18:20
They certainly know the reason for the READY cases in AS region. The caution might be because a sudden reversal of the ban would mean those people would be able to reschedule. Having said that – they know that at some point, not even a supreme court reversal would save the banned cases because the volume of cases, embassy capacity and high chance of security checks. At some point it is more “humane” to not allow the banned selectees to be rescheduled.
May 11, 2018 at 18:32
Exactly – and I also agree with your estimate that their willingness to go current last year way too early reflected an attempt to make the most of the situation and ready themselves to the possibility of a change in the ban, even at the cost of mayhem later in the year (which they got). I think that their unwillingness to even come close to that attitude this year likewise reflects a much less humane approach, which makes the “redistribution” interpretation less likely. It seems like they are just following their rules, without too much reflection. It doesn’t make redistribution completely unlikely, but it looks like some people here are really suffering from an optimism bias, and see even the slightest possibility of something as a certainty.
May 11, 2018 at 18:39
So the best answer is…..
May 11, 2018 at 18:53
I would personally recommend reading Nietzsche, I find it to be the answer to many troubles of this world.
May 11, 2018 at 19:02
LOL.
I was staying closer to the topic and assuming you would agree that “wait and see” is the best answer….
May 11, 2018 at 18:17
In this situation, we have chance for eu32xxx? “Wait and see” will bring me a tiny little hope! ^.^
May 11, 2018 at 18:24
The article already says wait and see – but even with redistribution your number is still risky. So – “wait and see”…
May 11, 2018 at 22:24
Let me help you with this… I will be not as subtle as Brit. There is no way your case number will have an interview. Up until july the numbers are set, are fixed. Even if they decide to ignore the quota or redistribute visas and decide to process 5000 cases per month, there wil be no time to do it. September is the deadline. These can be a miracle, but given the pace over the recent months, there is no way they will suddenly have the speed of light. Another factor is the response rate. Almost all the case numbers appear and get a visa so even if the quota is increased from around 18,000 I don’t think it will increase to 25 or 27k. Look at the previous years: the quota was increased by 2000, maybe 3000 visas..
May 11, 2018 at 18:20
Hi plese tell me what is the difference between REFUSED and REJECTED?
Because of my status is on REFUSED
May 11, 2018 at 18:21
Both words have the same result – no visa.
May 11, 2018 at 18:25
the problem is; there are people from the previous VB who still didn’t receive their 2NL till now. how do explain that?
May 11, 2018 at 18:26
I explained that in the article.
May 11, 2018 at 18:26
From what I understand .. in my country Algeria, also many selecteds didn’t get their 2NL .. in that case they will get a July interview .. is there a chance that we will see this this happen again for July Brian pushed to August (28300-38000)? Specially the 34k+ numbers?
We washed a white year though .. I guess another month doesn’t hurt specially not where the number is current ..
May 11, 2018 at 18:28
Yes that could happen. Some embassies will not be able to handle the volume of cases this last VB created.
May 11, 2018 at 18:40
Simon please tell us one point, what does mean status “current” in last years numbers changed with “current” what is current? and what it can change?
May 11, 2018 at 18:41
A region is shown as current on the VB when KCC estimate there are enough visas for all remaining demand in that region.
May 12, 2018 at 10:33
if this next 2 month will change numbers status with “current” it will be hope for high eu numbers?
May 12, 2018 at 14:17
Wait and see.
May 14, 2018 at 11:55
Hi Mr. Brit
I read from a friend that SA region HAVE 1500 visas assigned. Is that true?
May 14, 2018 at 13:26
THat is the quota approximately, yes. It is discussed in the article above.
May 11, 2018 at 18:55
Thank you Brit good job , I have a question My case number AF 390** Have chance?
May 11, 2018 at 19:02

May 11, 2018 at 19:22
We conclude from this article that there will be no increase for the continent of Africa,?
May 11, 2018 at 19:24
No – the article says nothing like that. They will push AF as far as they can.
May 11, 2018 at 20:02
the million dollar question is, how far is “as far as they can”…
May 11, 2018 at 20:13
… and for that we have to….
May 11, 2018 at 23:29
No need to say it again, I know… 🙁
May 11, 2018 at 19:23
One question… Given the slow pace of VB in EU region, how could ambassies suddenly handle a higher number of cases, if they had to?
May 11, 2018 at 22:22
🙂
May 12, 2018 at 03:42
Maybe they slowed down to take care of this backlog cases so in august and september they can accelerate again? I don’t know…
May 12, 2018 at 14:53
EU has a lot of embassies, and they have enough capacity to handle more than recent VBs.
May 12, 2018 at 16:29
Ok great 🙂
So, in fact, has anyone an idea why EU is so slow ?!
May 12, 2018 at 16:37
Stop thinking about case numbers and take a look at issued numbers. That isn’t slow.
May 11, 2018 at 19:28
Simon, that is an interesting theory you have for AF visa numbers.
So just to be clear you are saying that due to the inefficient processing in AF, VO might preemptively decide to redistribute AF visas to other regions rather fill its quota (so basically even when it is good news for AF with the big jump, it is possibly bad news fir high CNs)
Out of curiosity, why would redistributing the visas be more efficient that declaring the region current in August for example and processing as much as possible in advance ?
And why did the VO “somewhat deliberately” under fill AF in 2015 ? ( happy to read about this if you have explained it somewhere in the blog)
As always appreciate your insight into this roller-coaster of a process.
Thanks
May 11, 2018 at 19:44
If embassy capacity (or system capacity) means they can’t get AF to the quota anyway, going current won’t help with that problem.
In DV2015, AF region was stopped at 50,000. I had calculated they could get to AT LEAST 55,000, so it was a surprise. When the final numbers were revealed, I was proven right about the 55,000 number, they had underfilled, but seemed to have decide the capacity issues meant the quota could not be met anyway. There might have been July/August interviews not able to be scheduled (I don’t know for sure).
May 11, 2018 at 19:42

Hi Simon,
I have been with you for a year now keeping ask you hehe.
Thank you for your all effort.
Since we are almost done and see the real results.
I have a questions Im hopping you answer.
my case is AS11XXX. So 95% I will go current next month. Im going to do AOS because I’m under F1 visa. I know you don’t answer AOS questions but its not specific situation. I hope your are willing to answer.
1) I did not fill the D-260 because I wasn’t sure If I will go current and afraid to loose my F1. Q: do you advise to fill it now so they can have enough time to check. Or better to wait next month and then fill it?
2)is filling the application early will be different for AOS?
3) I don’t know anyone who can sponsor me, but I’m just one person and I have in US account almost 20,000. is it enough to accept bank statement over a sponsor.?
4) I will do the medical exam in this two weeks.. Or they don’t accept it for August since its 4 months from now
Than you..
May 11, 2018 at 21:00
1. You have to decide. You know the risks, you can make that decision.
2. For AOS the DS260 is simply a way to establish the file. Filing saves time later, but not filing does not stop you submitting your I-485
3. That sounds low.
4. That will be OK.
May 11, 2018 at 21:12
Thank you for answering.
So I have the option to not fill the D260 at all? and just fill I-485 in case that i rejected not affect my visa.

Hi mr. brit
Do you expect that vb in EU region to grow for like 10k or something ?
May 11, 2018 at 22:27
If you had read above you would understand that I don’t “expect” anything. I wait and see – you should too.
May 11, 2018 at 22:09
Hello Simon,
I have a question regarding number of total issued visas. Let us assume the best scenario for KCC at the moment: EU reach quota around 18k, AF goes 19k, AS 5k and the rest 2k which mean a total of 44k.
Do you think this will be acceptable from KCC’s point of view, i mean missing the target by 6k visas? Which is the max difference between the target and issued visas that they may allow, you understand what i mean?
Regards
May 11, 2018 at 22:29
There is no “punishment” for not hitting the 50k. They do the best they can…
May 11, 2018 at 22:36
Thanks for the answer, i get that by my question was that based on other years what has been the largest difference between target and issued or if you have any link that shows issued visas per each years I would be greatful.
Thank you Simon
May 11, 2018 at 22:38
https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2017AnnualReport/FY17AnnualReport-TableVII.pdf
May 11, 2018 at 22:54
Tahbk you Simon it was very helpful. Apart from 2012 that sth extraordinary has happened I see that the largest difference is about 3.5k visas. Assuming they will continue the trend there is no other way but give EU additonal 3k visas as that is the only region that can really proceed in time.
But still i’m hurt by the pace of july increase, it really seems to me that maybe that just do not intend to redistribute visas and are ready to accept a large miss of their target of 50k visas.
Some contradiction between what numbers suggest and what KCC behaves? We call it lack of information, right?
Thanks Simon
May 11, 2018 at 23:23
Lack of information – yes. Maybe we don’t know what KCC/VO plan, or maybe they don’t know what they are doing – but as you see from the numbers – they are pretty good at what they do.

Dear Mr Simon,
If redistribution does happen for Oceania, till what numbers will it likely go up to? As we already know that OC region is overselected so all numbers will get the chance?
Thanks for the informative post above.
May 12, 2018 at 04:41
No – *IF* it did happen – it would be very small for OC.
May 12, 2018 at 05:00
Yes there’s a big If, I understand. How small maybe a 100 or 200 so more cases up from your old prediction? OC160x here.
Thanks
May 12, 2018 at 06:04
Yes, maybe. If. Possibly.

Hi Brits, thanks for the good work. Just wish to inquire. If I played as single and later got engaged and won the dv, can we get married and I add my husband as a derivative? Thanks
May 12, 2018 at 06:03
Yes
May 12, 2018 at 06:18
But if they couldn’t schedule all June interviews due to lack of capacity as you claim, wouldn’t they slow the pace in July to accommodate for the former?? Instead they went for 4600 additional cases; an astonishingly high number. The embassy capacity might be higher than what you think, remember they have the complete data ( we don’t) , so most of these cases might have been from large capacity embassies which can handle them. Also I think AF might not get to target quota not because of capacity as you claim but because of the very high refusal rate which you haven’t been commenting on , as well as high non- response rate. Refusal rate will be much higher than dv2015 (come September). Finally, I wish to say, AF is exactly in the same case range it was in dv2015 at this same period and looking at the historical visa bulletin, we clearly see the BIG jump; every single year. KCC might be riding with trends rather than formulas; over 10 years the region never cut-off below 50k and they know it. With only 5k cases and two months left ,there are only two possibilities for AF at this point:
August : 42k/44k , Sept : 50k
or
August :Current Sept: Current
I’m done with formulas and predictions and Brits too, that’s why he’s playing it safe with wait and see; he’s already disappointed enough people before. See you in America AF49XXX
May 12, 2018 at 06:26

Hi Simon! I want to thank you very much for all the information you share with us and for answering almost every question. I have been following your posts and reading all the questions people do and your answers every day, since September 2017. From that and all the data I could predict that this year was not going to be like any other year, since December 2017.
I was hopping my time would come in August with my cn EU228xx (Albania) but now im not sure about that anymore. I will keep following your advice “w & s”.
I can feel the disappointment and the hurt of everyone with higher cn and i hope something great happens to us even if we don’t succeed in DV2018.
Thanks again Simon. All the best 🙂

Immigrant visas are processed in Poland (for Belarus) and Georgia (for Azerbaijan).
May 12, 2018 at 14:10
Hey Brit so maybe there is something I am not seeing but, even if AF visas that cannot be used are to be redistributed, but the AF push comes in the bulletin for July interviews. How can they really estimate the effect of this push beforehand? The problem I see is they cannot truly know until August when July info is available, at a point where you have no more room for maneuvering and VBs are over.
May 12, 2018 at 14:43
They do all their work based on estimates.

Hello Brit. My question is about Visa redistribution. So, as I understand, during DV-2017 EU exeeded its quota for MORE than 2000 Visas. I hope this will happen this year also. The question is: WHEN we can undertsand that KCC is going to exeed the quota? When it WAS clear for DV-2017 ? Did they made any announcement, or no ?? Thanks Brit.

Great question ??
May 12, 2018 at 20:49
No – they don’t announce it – so we will only know when we see the last VB (published in July).
May 13, 2018 at 10:46
very good question. As Brit mentioned, we will watch pace until end of final cutoff

mr simon
thank you for your efort
you said “they would have to give AF region the best chance possible”
that mean the region like egypt will have increase in their VB and good chance??
May 12, 2018 at 20:53
Egypt will be limited by the 7% rule.
May 12, 2018 at 22:46
i mean that KCC slow down egypt in previous months
so they will take more cases next month and speed up the progress
May 12, 2018 at 23:46
Wait and see.

Mr. Simon do have the option to not fill the D260 at all for AOS? and just fill I-485 in case that i rejected not affect my visa?
May 12, 2018 at 20:55
The DS260 isn’t essential for AOS cases, However, it gets KCC to prepare your file, so I believe it saves time in processing later.

Greetings to Mr Brit, please I am from Cameroon and after reading your article above, I have the following questions
1) what should have been the reason why the June interview where not programed in Cameroon and Ghana.
2) Does that emply those for July may finally move to August?
3) can one current but finally end up not interviewed
May 13, 2018 at 13:47
1. I don’t know – I’m guessing embassy capacity.
2. Maybe – at least some.
3. Unlikely, but possible.

Hi brother
If you did not fill ds260 you will not be able to go current and you will never get 2NL so if you want to get interview whene your CN shows up in bulltan you should fill the ds260
Hope you the best my friend
This is my email if you want to contact me i’m also AS11XXX CN

Brit are u still of the view that AF region won’t go current after seeing the July interview VB?GOOD day sir,appreciate the immense job u are doing
May 13, 2018 at 18:15
I don’t know. No one knows. Wait and see.
May 13, 2018 at 16:17
Brit, althought I know you can NOT say exactly, but please tell me your personal opinion about this. What you think, is it possible to see Africa’s CNs progress for 10 000 for BOTH August and Septemebr ? I mean do you think that embassies whould be ABLE to held such a huge count of interviews ? (Do not forget about 10 000 in July). Thanks in advance for your opinion.
May 13, 2018 at 18:14
My opinion is “wait and see”. There is a lot going on – we have not yet seen whether more embassies will struggle with capacity as we are seeing in Morocco, Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire. Even if that is an issue we don’t know what will be the reaction from KCC to that reality – and we don’t know about the travel ban and so on. So really – wait and see.
May 14, 2018 at 15:58
Hi brit ! Excuse me for bothering you but what do you mean by struggle with capacité for côte d’Ivoire because that’s where i’m from, and i want to undurstand
May 14, 2018 at 16:17
Some selectees have found they were current in June, but were not scheduled in June – and will get July interviews. That suggests those embassies cannot handle the workload.
