A couple of days ago, the 2NLs were sent out and I managed to get some good counts of how many interviews were arranged for each region. I can also calculate response rates accurately from the latest data and with those pieces of data I can calculate the expected increase for the next VB pretty accurately.
Firstly, EU and OC region are already almost current. Their numbers in the last VB were so close to being current that there is less than 20 case numbers not current between the two regions. Both regions will be current in May, and there is no need to explain that with analysis.
Obviously, that does not mean that interviews in EU will stop. If someone from EU were to submit their DS260 within the next couple of months, they would still get an interview.
So, let’s talk about the other regions…
Africa
By considering the cases at 18700 to 23800 I can see that 56.4% of those cases have responded. I am also aware of some cases that were scheduled for interviews where the DS260 was submitted in early January. That means the DS260 delay (and subsequent backlog) is almost over now. Some cases from the backlog will continue to the very end, because some people have not yet submitted their DS260.
For AF region I can see that KCC arranged about 2100 interviews this month. That is one of the highest months I have ever seen – so they are really at full pace now. Of the 2100 interviews about 400 were used for “backlog” cases – almost 20%. That is a low number and coupled with the response rate we can assume (at least 57%, probably more), we can now –predict the likely next VB.
So assuming they arrange 2000/2100 interviews for May and have no more than 400 interviews for backlog, they will need 1600 or 1700 cases. Using 1700 and 57% response rate, that means about 3000 cases. The cases are not consecutive (there are gaps or “holes” between the numbers), so we can use the full CEAC file to see how many numbers we have to increase to get 3000 actual case numbers. The number comes out at 29000.
So – I think the next VB for AF will be between 28000 and 30000.
Those who read my earlier posts of analysis will know that the case density drops at around 30000, so the jumps for VBs after this next VB could be higher still. We could see jumps of around 7000 per month after that point up until KCC judge the quota to be close.
Asia
Asia is more complicated because Nepal is being limited. That means within one set of data there are two numeric limits being applied. That makes it difficult to use the calculation method used above for the Africa estimate.
However, Last month the VB increased by 750 for Nepal and 900 for the Rest of Asia. That revealed about 550 interviews – of which around 200+ were Iranians, 150+ were Nepalese and the remainder were ROA (rest of Asia). I am basing those numbers on the cases that have been “claimed since the cases went to in transit status. I think it is likely that we will see a similar increase in the month of May.
So that would mean that Nepal would again be limited to around 5750 to 5900. And Asia as a whole would increase to 6600 to 6800.
Longer term forecasts are less accurate of course. But to give a general idea or expectation (NOT precise numbers) we could assume pace will continue until Nepal and Iranian cases are exhausted. Density of cases for both Iran and Nepal max out in the 7000 to 7800 range.
So we can guess that Nepal will grow at around the same pace for June interviews as May, (so June will be around 6400 to 6600) and then hit the final max in July. That final max depends on the 7% limit.
For the Rest of Asia, Iran will probably be at or very close to its max case in for June interviews. That means June should be around 7500 to 7800. If quota were not an issue, Asia could theoretically move faster from that point onward since the density is so much lower. However, It is unclear whether KCC will limit the pace increase to hold the door open for Iranian AP cases as they did last year.
South America
Looking at the 2NLs, there were 74 interviews yielded from the increase of 125 case numbers (including some interviews that went to backlog. I expect the pace of 125 to be about the same this month – and would expect to see the next VB at 1025 to 1075.
Conclusion
Now, as logical and scientific as we can be with predicting, the only numbers that really count are the ones that KCC release in the Visa Bulletin. KCC have more information than I have access to and they are in the driving seat. The DV process teaches patience – so ultimately we have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully though this post will at least give you a ROUGH IDEA of what to expect over the next couple of months, and I will update you as I get more information.
If you are wondering what the density is all about, please read this article on density.

hi simon again ,
i have 2 questions
1 – is 7200 iran safe or risky ? i know what u said in the post but still just wanna know , because 7200 is very near 7000 .
2 – i have lived in india for 5 years , i got my pcc form there , I’m am visiting india next month and ill be there for a month , just wanna know if i have to renew my pcc, or last one that has the date of 6 months ago is enough ???? thank you for giving your time for us
February 25, 2016 at 21:53
1. That number is pretty much safe to go current. So the risky part is whether you get AP or not. Many Iranians do. IF you are placed on AP – that takes (typically) about 3 to 4 months to complete for Iranian applicants. So – an Iranian starting AP in July or August is certainly at risk.
2. If you are going to be there anyway – why not just renew it.
February 26, 2016 at 07:33
I am a single dentist girl who didnt ever did a governmental job , my accout has about 30000 dollar in it , studied in india and i have i134 form and the tax clearance of my supporter. So , do u think they will put me in AP ? If yes , is there any supporting documents that is should prepare for not getting AP. I am the one who posted the first comment
February 26, 2016 at 14:46
You have a good chance of avoiding AP. Just be careful to follow the instructions in preparing all the documents.
February 25, 2016 at 21:08
hi simon
as you mentioned above
the interview for AF350** will be for june
????
February 25, 2016 at 21:55
It obviously depends how far they go for May. If May is at 28 then 35XXX for June is tougher than if May goes to 30.
February 25, 2016 at 22:01
Hi Simon,
I’m in the AF category but I live in Italy with my family so I chose Rome as my center for the interview. How long do you think it will take? Also my husband and children have changed their cititenship, how do I communicate this to KCC? There’s a mistake with the surnames of my children, how do I correct this please?
Thank you
February 25, 2016 at 22:05
You haven’t mentioned your case number, so I can’t tell you how long it will take!
To make changes, you have to unlock your DS260 – info on that here.
https://britsimonsays.com/faq/how-do-i-unlock-my-ds260/
February 25, 2016 at 22:29
Thank you.

Hi Brit,
when i can expect my interview AS75xx Lebanon (Rest of Asia)?
February 25, 2016 at 22:03
Please read the article.
February 25, 2016 at 22:28
Sorry Brit maybe i should say that thru out my reading i have concluded that my interview will 84% in june and 100% in july.
please correct me if am mistaken
February 25, 2016 at 22:48
I generally find the percentage estimates to be not useful. The article is clear enough.
February 28, 2016 at 19:24
Hi,
if you have suffient bank savings, do you still need to have I-134 filled?
February 25, 2016 at 22:21
hi!
thanks for all the help you provide us with. i have a couple of questions. is South America 11** risky? I currently live in the USA under a work visa and when i did my DS260 i picked to do the adjustment of status here without leaving the country. what do you think about that? some people say it may take too long. Should i change my DS260 and do the process back home in venezuela?
thanks again for the help!
February 25, 2016 at 22:49
Aos is fine, your number is fine. Relax.
February 25, 2016 at 22:51
thanks! this is an opportunity that i dont want to miss. i want to do everything possible to get the GC!
February 25, 2016 at 22:30
Dear Brit, …. I have received my visa and plan to travel soon, pls is it possible me and my wife pay for our green card first before traveling, then later I pay for my 2 children after our admission in the USA as time goes on ..pls advice and what are the risk in doing that?
February 25, 2016 at 22:46
You might be able to do that – I haven’t tried. Personally I would delay all four until you are there and settled. Not having the GC is not a big deal – the visa in your passport is proof of status.
February 25, 2016 at 22:41
Hi Simon!
When you say you think the next AF vb will be around 28-30k were you meaning for May? (Or April?) So if our number is a few hundred over 30k (but below 31k, would you say it’s far more likely that we would be called up in June and not May? I thought for sure we would make it in May but perhaps not given these new figures.
Thanks!
February 25, 2016 at 22:44
I am talking about the VB which will be released in about 2 weeks. It is called the April VB and relates to May interviews.
February 26, 2016 at 06:08
Hi brit thanks a lot based on the information above I understand I will be current for May interview my CN’s 2016af26*** be blessed and your daughter too
March 30, 2016 at 11:17
Hi Brit – The VB that will be released in 2 weeks time is officially called the May VB (and indeed for May interviews) with advance notification for June.
March 30, 2016 at 15:15
Obviously I know that! The comment you are responding to was made on February 25!
February 25, 2016 at 22:47
Thank you! So I reckon we can expect a June interview, unless we get lucky and KCC surprises us all?
February 25, 2016 at 23:23
Well, those numbers bring some hopes to people with higher CN . Specially, for AF for sure . Right ? thank you for the analysis Sir Brit .
February 26, 2016 at 02:53
Thanks Brit! Your page makes much easier to know and understand process.i had no any info.now i understand and it helps a lot
February 26, 2016 at 04:37
Hi,
I am not good with maths, I just applied for an adjustment of status (last week of February)
My number is 2016EU00016XXX
I am kind of confuse with the dates and deadlines
I will appreciate if you can give me some idea about my chances
Regards
February 26, 2016 at 06:44
You are already current – so there is nothing holding your AoS back!
February 26, 2016 at 06:49
thanks for your quick respond but I do not understand exactly what does mean?
I read that there is a “gap” between the petition and the day of the interview
what I am saying is if I have applied this week when I suppose to received the 2NL being a Aos?
next week?
next month?
thanks in advance
February 26, 2016 at 07:08
Forget about the 2NL, it is not important for Aos cases. Just get your case submitted…
February 26, 2016 at 14:07
ok thanks
i have submitted my case this week and i am worry about deadline or AoS has nothing to do with the other way and is just submit the application and in weeks not months is done?
in other words with my number 2016EU00016XXX i am in good position, is current now but cause i read about big delays?
thanks again
February 26, 2016 at 14:32
AoS is slower – it will take some months. You could have submitted your paperwork months ago, so you caused delay for yourself. However, there is enough time before the end of the year.
The most useful place for AoS info is the link below.

i thought you could NOT submit before your number was current
is what i have been told
you are great
PS – you do all this for “free”?
February 26, 2016 at 17:23
There is an early filing policy for DV cases (described in the link below). It was possible to file your I-485 as soon as your number was announced in the VB (either mid December if your number is under 16450 or mid January if your number is above 16450). Go to the link I gave you as you may have gained other misunderstandings.

Understood
Therefore, I lost “two months” more or less (lawyers!!!!)
I hope, I will be on time and not regret on this 2 months lost
PS – incredible you are doing all this for free
February 26, 2016 at 18:40
Bad idea to use a lawyer. None of them know the DV process very well – and they make mistakes like this all the time.
February 26, 2016 at 05:22
Thanks Simon for the insightful analysis.. the subject matter for AF region now is the QUOTA desired by KCC. Otherwise everything is rolling on at the expected pace.
February 26, 2016 at 06:44
Agreed.
February 26, 2016 at 06:46
Hi Brit
On my Ds-260 form and on my spouse’s Ds-260 form i have written my child’s birthday as 18 January of 1994. She was never listed as our under 21 year old child on our first e-dv. Now she is listed as the beneficiary. On her birth certificate and on her identity her birthday is 18 January 1993. Now KCC couldn’t open our application and also i emailed them that her birthday was on 1994. But after translating the documents we found that her actual date of birth is 1993. If we go to interview what do you think? Will we be disqualified or do you think they would hesistate that we lie? If we could prove that her true birthday is 1993 and we have never add her on our forms, would we be disqulaifed?
February 26, 2016 at 14:49
Only the CO can answer that.
February 26, 2016 at 08:39
Would you please say yes or no?
February 26, 2016 at 09:00
got police clearance nov. 2015 but not yet called for interview; will it need renewal before my interview. my cn is 38*** what month do I expect interview
February 26, 2016 at 14:42
July.
February 26, 2016 at 10:14
Hi brit May God bless you for this.am a dv selectee with case no af38***.pls I was single when I entered the dv and I filled my ds260 form as single.I later got married so I unlock and added my wife as a derivative but I didn’t fill her own ds260 form .the reason I did it was because am not goinh with her But I just wanted kcc to know that am married. Please will it pose a problem to my visa.please help me with your advice thanks.
February 26, 2016 at 14:40
You can be married and only apply for one visa – it’s just a bad idea.
February 28, 2016 at 17:33
Gerald u got married even if your not going with your wife fill for her the form. then u may get lucky and find cash then she joins u at the interview be hopeful and dont be negative. i wish u luck.

thank you.

Please read the article above – it covers that.
February 26, 2016 at 11:07
Hi britsimon,
Does that mean that af has a greater chance to be current?
February 26, 2016 at 14:38
No. This is about pace of VB progression. THat does not mean quota is different.
February 26, 2016 at 12:27
Hi Brit
God bless you for the assistance and precise directives you give to all on this blog.
I have benefited a lot from your site though I discovered it not very long.
I am a DV 2016 selectee with CN 2016AF27XXX.
We won as a family of 6; my spouse, 4 kids and myself.
I got 3 questions.
1) On filling the ds-260 form, I mention all my kids will joint me at a later date not wanting to interrupt their study. Is it possible for us to complete their ds-260 form in April or May for a later interview or we have lost their chances or WHAT?
2) If it is possible for them to travel through this DV year after us, do they need another affidavit sponsor or our sponsor should include them on ours?
3) One of my children is a step son. Apart of his birth certificate, what other documents will be needed for him?
Thanks in advance
February 26, 2016 at 14:37
The DV process is BY FAR the easiest and best way to process your children. When do you want them to go to the USA?
February 26, 2016 at 16:45
Thank you Sir for the quick reply.
I will like them to leave for US in August or September this year.
February 26, 2016 at 14:15
In passport my village name is ‘kavilash’ and in certificate it is written ‘kabilas’ and ‘kabilash’ is it problem sir?
February 26, 2016 at 14:32
Probably not.
February 26, 2016 at 14:56
Hi Britsimon, I have a question which I will need ur help in answering, if married couples go for interview and gets denied on section 212g 6c(1), does it affect only the principal applicant or the other spouse as well
February 26, 2016 at 17:28
A derivative cannot be issued a visa unless the principal is approved. If the principal is refused, all the derivatives lose their chance.
February 26, 2016 at 19:08
For that I’m aware but I meant, if a principal applicant gets banned for 10 years for presenting fake documents, does it affect only the principal applicant or both the principal and the derivatives
February 26, 2016 at 19:25
Probably both (since the adult derivative was complicit in the fraud – and I thought the ban was lifetime.
February 26, 2016 at 19:32
Hi Britsimon, an agent made a mistake in the initial registration for my friend by selecting primary school only as his highest educational level although my friend has a higher diploma, with the reason that people who select primary school only, gets more selected here in Ghana than people with a higher diploma, although I corrected it for him on the DS 260 forms, can that cause an issue during interview
February 26, 2016 at 19:48
First of all, the idea that that choice (or ANY other data on the eDV) improves chances of selection is ridiculous. It is a RANDOM draw – and blind to the education level. The agents in Ghana are ripping people off AND massively reducing chances of success through encouraging people to lie, or simply introducing the lies themselves.
BECAUSE of the agents, and because so many cases in Ghana have lies and false documents, the COs are suspicious of any case with small inconsistencies. So – something like that would not normally be an issue, but may be in Ghana.
February 26, 2016 at 20:19
Thanks for ur help, someone was denied at the Accra embassy because an agent made his place of birth as unknown in the eDV but corrected it on the ds260 but was sadly denied by the CO this week
February 26, 2016 at 21:36
Yep, not a surprise. Just one of many such denials where agents have messed things up…
February 26, 2016 at 16:04
hi dear, mr, britsimons Thank you for continuing your efforts with us
If we stick to the best available forecasts the cutoff AF Region will reach the 58000
, is still safe number standing beside the 47000 According to previous expectations
thanks lot…
February 26, 2016 at 17:25
The pace will only continue until the quota is met. I expect 47XXX to have a good chance, but we have to wait and see to be certain.
February 26, 2016 at 16:09
Please brit since I said is a bad idea can I now filled my wife s own Ds260 form.coz I just added her as a derivative. My no is 38000 .is it to late for me to fill her form.please help me on what to do.thanks
February 26, 2016 at 17:24
You have time to add her as you won’t be current for some time.

Hi bri I have a problem when I registered for the Dv process I did an error at the place of bitth but when I submitted my Ds I corrected it will it be a problem the day of my interview?I’m in Cameroon thanks for your repply
February 26, 2016 at 17:42
It won’t be a problem if it is simply another part of the same country.
February 26, 2016 at 18:59
I hear at the interviews they dont ask much about the sponsor. Is that true?
February 26, 2016 at 19:22
It varies by case and embassy.
February 26, 2016 at 21:12
Cameroon (yaounde) embassy dont ask for affidavit of support and dont require photocopied documents. colllect only originals (based on my findings from recent winners). is it true and why?
February 26, 2016 at 21:40
The fact that people provide a photocopy is in order to keep their own original documents. If the embassy take the originals, they will not return them.
The embassies can all ask for an affidavit of support if the circumstances demand it. So, whilst Cameroon “typically” are satisfied with a suitable host, that is not ALWAYS the case. Every case is different, so people should prepare themselves to give themselves the best chance possible.
February 26, 2016 at 22:16
Hi Simon,
Appreciate your kind support.
My cn is 7200 from Iran. I have two questions.
1.According to your predictions, I am going to have a June interview, right?
2.If I get an AP, is three and a half to four months ( from june throught september) safe to get clear?
Thx.
February 26, 2016 at 22:25
1. Hopefully yes.
2. Some Iranian cases clear that fast, some don’t. So I can’t say “safe”
February 27, 2016 at 07:16
Thanks simon.am going to fill my wife ds260 form tomorrow. Pleas brit I hope it wouldn’t pose me a problem coz am sure they will ask why I suddenly decided to take him along.please do we stand a risk of getting our visas.we have our marriage pictures and befor marriage pictures when we were dating.what other evidence shall be prepare.thanks am grateful.
February 27, 2016 at 20:40

Hi dear brit thks again for all things you do for us.i wish that af in the next vb will go +8000 or even 9000 cases.goud day
February 27, 2016 at 17:40
Hello Britsimon- thank you so much for all the information you share. I am currently in the US so I’ll be going through the adjutment of status and my number came up for April. My question is when do I submit my application. On one uscis page, it says that the reason they show category C #s is allow applications to send their material 6 weeks ahead. So should I submit my application in mid March or in April. I want to submit my stuff as early as I can due to work visa expiration date. Please advise.
February 27, 2016 at 20:33
You can submit when your number is announced as current in the VB.
February 27, 2016 at 21:07
Hi Bro Brit,
The person who is to send our affidavit of Support is two years old in America.
But he is working and meet the financial requirements.
Can he support us? Because of the time frame in America.
Thanks.
February 27, 2016 at 23:41
Yes that is fine
February 28, 2016 at 01:18
Please I am a dv winner and currently in United States of America. I entered as a single because at that time I was not married but after I entered into America I have got married. So my question is that how may I bring my wife I have got married in my country to America. Thank u and waiting for your n usual response.
February 28, 2016 at 01:47
You will now have to sponsor your wife by family based sponsorship, which takes around 2 years.
February 28, 2016 at 06:09
Hi Brit, thanks for the insights to make us understand the progress of the Visa processing. Iam a selectee with case number af45***, I am looking forward that to be current September or maybe never go current. I have been waiting since i did my ds260 in June 2015. What are your thoughts on those cases numbers?
February 28, 2016 at 06:14
You will wait some more of course. But 45XXX isn’t that high. You have a chance.
February 28, 2016 at 06:59

Good day brit , my case number is a f 30 xxx. I have submitted my ds 260 form and my wife form. When filling my wife form in the question concern previous visa denial we say no, but she told me when she were around 16 years her parent apply for a visiting visa for her but she did not get it and she does no why? So she is not even sure if the parents have applied for her or not. Is it going to be an issue since we said no visa denial. Our only reason is because we are not sure and can not explain why she was refuse the visa in case her parents have applied. It was 16 years ago.
February 28, 2016 at 17:52
Don’t worry about that.
February 28, 2016 at 17:25

as you know the dv lottery is random !!! and the us government has all the wrights to ode any terms yhat the selectees must meet !!! ok but a country like mine egypt the income is not that high for the high educated selectees like my self ! the question is i barely earn 900$ a month how can i support my family and have a bank a/c pf at least 30k of usdollars to show to the embassy at the interview !!!!! its hard to meet that condition !!! so they must put their terms in advance and call it condional lottery !!! i know you will say whatvthat got to do with uou but i respect you and your efforts to help yhe selectees !!!! so i wanted to shre you my frustration over being a poor selectee who is eventually will be refused over his bank statement !! thank u

$900 a month is a LOT more than many people from Africa who get approved. They are approved by having a US based sponsor who completes an I-134 or by having a “host” who will be supporting them upon arrival. So – stop being so negative. Cairo has a MASSIVE approval rate – most people just like you….
RELAX!

if you have suffient amout of money , do u still need to have I-134?
February 28, 2016 at 20:03
Not usually.

Do NOT reschedule. Take the email, and if they don’t accept that you can follow up with the original a few days later.

Hello Simon… assuming that the quota for this FY will be same as last FY 2015 ceteris paribus… can AF region get current with this pace at INA 21845? Thank you Guv’nor….
February 29, 2016 at 05:22
Pace and quota are two different things. You can go really fast (pace) then hit a brick wall (quota). The pace is fine, the quota is the issue – and we can only wait and see what happens.
February 29, 2016 at 07:19
Thanks Simon… I meant if we assyme the quota will be same as that of FY 2015 i.e. 21845. Can this quota accommodate all the AF selectees?

Hi brits,
I received an email from KCC and i checked my status, and it says i am appointed for April 4 for my interview. But when i log in to CEAC to check my status it keep saying that my case is still in transit. Do mind with that, but when i tried to register my case for DHL courier on, it says, ‘The Immigrant Visa case number provided is not ready to schedule an appointment’…WHY IS THIS DISCREPANCY OCCURRING?
March 1, 2016 at 14:23
The in transit thing is simply because the embassy hasn’t updated CEAC. It doesn’t mean anything.
The DHL system never recognizes DV cases, so work around that message by choosing a different option of visa/appointment.

Hi britsimons
Will you release ceac extract for today?
Thanks
March 1, 2016 at 21:53

Hi Brit. Hope that everything goes well. I have one more question. I am goin to Ohio. Flight is like this; Tashkent to Istambul to Chicago to Ohio. In Chicago there is 3 hours of layover. Waiting 3 hours before flying to Ohio. Do you think 3 hours enough for immigration registration process?
March 2, 2016 at 03:12
It’s possible – a little tight, but should be OK.
March 2, 2016 at 11:03
