This is the month end file.
Let me first say – I believe the issued numbers for this file are still understated due to the system issues. The issues have been resolved, but it is possible that embassies have not updated the case status reliably. You can note that particularly AF region has a small increase from last month AND a high number of “in Transit” cases. The latter is a certain sign of “slow/lazy” updates by the embassies – and I think that could have been the case on issued cases also. Nevertheless we can see there has been quite a number of visas issued this month globally which was mainly in EU and AS regions (which may also be underreported).
This data is what KCC will be looking at when the decide how many interviews to schedule in the last month. Let us hope they aren’t too conservative in their estimates. We should see the final VB in less than 2 weeks from now.
Just while I am writing, the 2NLs for August have not come out yet. They may be affected by the technical issues, and they have also set significantly more interviews than usual. So – hopefully people will see the actual 2NL very soon.
Here is the data
CEAC data June 30

Hello Simon thanks for your forum for is really good. Am Carine fube from Ghana. Am a 2016 selectee with cn Af39143.i entered as single in the primary entry. I later submitted my form as single but now i have unlock my DS_260 form and change my status as married coz in just got married on the 28 of july. Please i wish to know
1-me changing my status from single to married wouldn’t it affect me from haring my visa.?
2-can i say that my husband will not accompany me so that it will give me changes of getting my visa? Since i have not yet resummited the form.
3-or is there a way for me to cancel the status back to single.? Coz i have already fill his name and his date of birth. Please Simon i need ur help on what to do i really dont want to miss my chances of getting a visa. Thanks for your reply.
August 17, 2015 at 15:15
People get married and add their new spouses – that is fine – but those people have to show the marriage was based on a genuine relationship.
Yes you can say your husband won’t go with you, but that obviously will raise suspicion about your marriage.
You cannot “go back” to being single if you are married!
Your number is unusually high for a Ghanaian. Were you born in some other country?
August 17, 2015 at 15:29
Am a born Ghana but live all my life in cameroon. Please what do u suggest i do. Should i take him along or what. And apart from a marriage certificate what other documents should use for a bona fide marriage. Please ur suggestion is the best. I don t want to miss my visa
August 5, 2015 at 08:56
so that is it……finally i am not going after 1year of hoping and expecting. i pray God should give me the grace to over come this situation and ride on with my life normally.i wish all the losers the best,should hope for better things than….
July 18, 2015 at 02:24
i think so.from published VB the quota does not fulfill the no.50000.
July 18, 2015 at 09:04
I think you are misunderstanding….
July 17, 2015 at 15:03
if kcc increases VB,upto which date it increases VB of edv 2015?
July 17, 2015 at 15:31
The final VB for DV2015 was published a few days ago. There will be no change in the numbers.
July 17, 2015 at 15:52
Brit
Perhaps somethinng may happen,and september number will be edited and have a jump on September..that is all jump number has to make sure they are ready for interview before september 30…
July 17, 2015 at 16:04
I really don’t think so…
July 15, 2015 at 05:37
is it possible to increase VB of edv 2015 for asia?
July 15, 2015 at 08:27
I do not expect that to happen.
July 10, 2015 at 10:16
Simon
when is the next VB will be puplish??
July 9, 2015 at 23:17
Mr BritSimon ..
-is Iran AP resolving faster now, or still more CNs get put on AP ?!
-How many visas Iran has taken so far ?
July 10, 2015 at 03:59
I don’t have an update on that…
July 9, 2015 at 11:02
Simon, which range above af65xxx fall in, since people from af64999 below are in the wait and see range?
July 9, 2015 at 23:01
Well at this point with such a short time to go – everyone should just “wait and see”
July 9, 2015 at 00:17
Simon, with the balance visa left do you think kcc can cover up to af65xx?
July 9, 2015 at 00:59
I don’t know…
July 8, 2015 at 23:45
Dear Simon
i was doing some check on CEAC website , i noticed there are a thousand of cases still at NVC even in early CN .
if KCC take an action by remove all this cases do you think it will give chance for height CN ??!!
Regards
July 8, 2015 at 23:49
No – those cases are already factored in.
July 9, 2015 at 00:24

Hi nina are you from morocco ?
July 6, 2015 at 15:27
Simon
Which date was the deadline to submitt DS260 for 2015 winners ??
Thanks
July 6, 2015 at 15:40
There is no formal deadline – just a practical one that the DS260 takes time to process before an interview can be scheduled. Sometime in May was therefore probably the practical deadline.
July 5, 2015 at 23:14
Hi brit, my cn 2015 af 65471, do you think i get interview brit? Thanks
July 6, 2015 at 02:09
I don’t know. In a few days we will all see the final VB.
July 5, 2015 at 21:15
Dear Brit,
Why when some one asked you from AF about his CN you look certain and reply, while when you have been asked about AS CN you look uncertain and you reply “wait and see”, what do you think about CN below AS10000?
July 5, 2015 at 22:21
I have told hundreds of AF people to wait and see!

Hellow Sir

July 5, 2015 at 06:50
You will obviously want to wait and see – but I suspect that number is too high.
July 4, 2015 at 15:47
Sir is this CEAC data , the last ?
Or will you extract after 2NLs are out ?!
July 4, 2015 at 15:48
I mean ‘August’ 2NL .
July 4, 2015 at 16:50
The June 24 and June 30 files included the 2NLs for August. I will continue to extract and publish CEAC data to the end of the year.
July 4, 2015 at 12:36
Thanks Britsimon for response.
July 4, 2015 at 09:35
Is it sure not to increse cn for nepal in final vb?
July 4, 2015 at 14:56
No it is not for sure. It is uncertain – that’s why we have to wait and see…
July 4, 2015 at 09:29
salut af52xxxx est posssible
July 4, 2015 at 14:57
Yes
July 4, 2015 at 05:49

hii brit I hoop you fine , my problem I send my DS 260 On May 2014 and in 25 Dec 2014 send my new baby DS 260 and kcc confirm that , but his name not Appear in 2NL
July 3, 2015 at 15:08
That is normal. Check your CEAC status to see if the additional derivative is noted – and if not contact the embassy to be sure they expect the additional derivative.
July 2, 2015 at 20:31

Over 8100 – roughly about 17000 people
July 5, 2015 at 14:23

July 2, 2015 at 10:36
Hey Brit!
it’s coming down to the wire now
i know it doesn’t matter too much
but how long does it take for them to decide the final cut off…………i read somewhere that July 1st they would’ve decided everything and then they post it on the 10th
July 2, 2015 at 21:57
No – they need feedback from the embassies first. It isn’t decided yet.
July 2, 2015 at 07:13
hi i ma from nepal n my case num is cross then 8*** can i acpet my 2NL outherway i”ll ded i am only live for usa….my dream is usa …….n in god i trust …plz repaly to me…….
July 2, 2015 at 04:36
Hi Simon,
Are you stopping your extract at the number and not showing the cases after the cutoff? Just asking because I notice the last case is often on the cutoff number when it should be below.
July 2, 2015 at 05:21
Generally yes. If the new VB number is 44250 – I extract to that number to show the number of cases, response rate for that new range and in Transits.
July 2, 2015 at 04:08
Hello Sir, My friend requested me to ask the following questions for him, he doesn’t have internet access Dv 2016 Af12xxx and he hasn’t submitted ds260. He is the principal applicant and he included his wife and son in the initial application.
1. He has 4yr old child. On initial application he listed only two names for his child. First name and second name. Child’s passport only has two names but birth certificate 3 names.
2. He wants to attend the interview only him and his wife cause of the costs involved. He wants to leave his son with his mother who will take care of him and maybe after one year his son joins him. So on the ds260 , question that asks will this applicant be accompanying you to the U.s, he wants to answer no. So he wants to know while attending interview will it be okay if his son doesn’t appear. And after he goes after a year he can apply for him.
Thanks for your time to answer this.
July 2, 2015 at 05:31
1. No issue. Match the birth cert on the DS260 for the child.
2. That is a very silly thing to do. The costs of sponsoring the child later will be MUCH higher and the process could take 2 years.
July 2, 2015 at 03:29
Dear Brit,
