OK – I extracted the CEAC data today and am providing it here for your information.
You will see that I have extracted a few more cases than the VB current – this is so that people can see how many cases there are beyond the current cutoff. There is 1 week to go and AF and EU seem to be issuing according to “normal” pace – around 100 visas per day each. So – I do expect them to reach 5000 for the month (which is the correct target). That will also take them to around 18k/18.5k visas issued (including AoS) for the halfway mark. THat will leave them with just over 30k visas to issue in the remaining 6 months – hence me saying the pace at 5000 a month is about right. August and September are likely to see a higher number of approvals due to AP cases getting pushed through.
This file also includes the 2NL information as cases that have just received their 2NLs will be marked “In Transit”. AF region had about 130 in transit cases left unclaimed prior to this update.
I am working on a post to explain the progress and that will include predictions for the next VB. LOok for that to be published shortly.
Here is the data
And before you ask me to give you data on “your” embassy – it is very easy to do that yourself. So – here is how to use google sheets to analyze the data.

why are cases number in the CEAC data for March 25, 2015 is limited to 38700 ?, do you think that my case number AF415xx will have a chance to interview?

I limited the numbers to 38700 – the full range of numbers is available in the Jan 2 post.
Your number is certain to get an interview.

Sorry BritSimon, I can’t see the CON column in my Global-25-3-2015.xlsx so I can’t not aply any filter. Am I missing something?

March 26, 2015 at 13:58
I limited the number range at those higher numbers, knowing that would be enough to show the cases for this coming month. The full number range are in the post from January 2.

Hello my cn af517** is it risk??
March 30, 2015 at 20:09
No
March 26, 2015 at 06:09
What does the status “ready’ exactly mean? Is it just “ready for interview”? Or “ready for issue” after interview?
Thank you
March 26, 2015 at 14:04
It is the first status after the embassy gets the case, so, it means ready for interview. However, in some cases the embassies are not updating those statuses after the interview as they should.
