This is excellent news for DV2020 cases. Huge relief for many people with high case numbers.
I will post a more detailed article later, but I at least wanted to show my analysis process and explain why I am feeling MUCH less pessimitic about DV2020 and high case numbers can rejoice. I AM NOT READY to say everyone will have a chance, I have only had this data for a couple of hours, but it does show much better chances than we were fearing.
My thoughts are explained in this video, which is long and rambling – but may be interesting for those that want to know more about where they stand.

Hello Brit, I have been selected for DV 2021 and I have submitted my DS260 application 15 hrs after the results were officially released. My CN is 2021AF65xxx. I was wondering if my early DS260 application would increase my chance of getting an interview scheduled despite my high CN. And does this year’s total number of visas issued increase beyond the usual 55000 due to COVID-19? Thanks in advance!
June 8, 2020 at 21:02
No and no. There was no need to rush your submission as you did. You will now wait a LONG time….
February 9, 2020 at 04:51

I am from Afghanistan and selectee for DV 2020 case # 2020AS5947 I was unaware of my selection since October and submitted the DS260 very late on 21 October 2019 so my question is do I still have a chance? there will be any available visa for me at the time of interview? If yes then how long does it take?
Thank you
November 11, 2019 at 20:07
Yes you still have a chance. Your timing depends when you send your DS260 and documents. Please read the basic questions article linked from the homepage.

Hi Brit,
Case number AS11*** Nepal. Got email from KCC yesterday regarding documentation submission.
I need your advise regarding sponsor on DS260:-
What are the basic criteria for sponsorships income. Is there any minimum income requirement that sponsor needs to have for DV Visa. Our sponsors situation is that only our Aunt is currently on full time employment, uncle is currently unemployed. Will that affect visa processing or not.
Please advise.
Regards.
October 17, 2019 at 19:13

October 2, 2019 at 23:14
Simon,
I was wondering when we would find out about a second draw if there is one? Thank you.
Wei
October 3, 2019 at 04:20
WE would normally have found out by now. We haven’t. So that suggests there is no 2nd draw.
November 24, 2019 at 21:23
Hi Brit, I am a Liberia from Africa my case # is 70*** when do you think my number will be out ? Thanks
November 27, 2019 at 22:30
Pretty obviously that would be one of the last cases – late summer 2020.
October 2, 2019 at 04:12
Okay Thanks
September 18, 2019 at 10:23
Alright thank for the respond as well,another question sir,QUESTION:(1) Me and my fiance who is now my legal married husband applied together
in the entry, though as singles then, when filling the DS-260 form
should we use the same form or apply separately?
September 18, 2019 at 16:10
Each person has their own DS260 – but married people list their spouses on their own form.
September 18, 2019 at 21:32
Thank you so much BritSimon!
September 17, 2019 at 20:33
Is there any chance for second draw dv2020 or no?
September 17, 2019 at 20:52
Maybe.
September 6, 2019 at 20:40

Your case will be scheduled once you are current – not before.
September 6, 2019 at 04:03
Hi
Thanks for all your work. I’ve watched your video – very useful
Looks like 2020OC18XX is likely to be a low number. I’m from Australia – when do you think it will be possible for a potential interview?
September 6, 2019 at 20:15
It’s not a “low” number exactly – certainly in the 2nd half of OC numbers. So – you should expect an interview spring/summer 2020.
September 4, 2019 at 14:17
Hello Sir, when do you think l should be going for the interview my case number is 2020AF21***
