Hello britsimon I’m one of dv 2025 winner and I’m from Afghanistan and my case no is 22561 and I selected Oman for interview what do you think of my case number is there a chance of interview if yes could you tell me the date in which probably interview has been taken
January 28, 2025 at 11:06
Your number is quite high, so you will have to wait and see if you get a chance for interview or not. If you do, it will be in August or September.
August 13, 2024 at 05:39
Mr. Simon, according to the selected cases on DV 24, the following cases can be traced:
1) None,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,None – Hol
2) None,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,None – NVC
3) Issued,2022-Oct-20,2023-Dec-13,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2024-Jan-01
Do I understand correctly that based on these data we can assume how many empty cases, how many are real, and how many have already been invited?
Thanks in advance!
August 13, 2024 at 12:57
Yes
August 10, 2024 at 10:57
Dear Simon how can I get your daily updates

Hello Simon, thank you so much for the help.
I have some questions, I am a dv 2025 winner EU19xxx, In my passport my surname has the letter ”ç”, I wrote it in the DS as english letter ”c” should I reopen my DS260?
The embassy is Naples, is it ok, or it’s better Tirana? Approximately, how long does it takes to get the NL2?
Thank you
August 3, 2024 at 17:22
No need to unlock. Naples is fine. Watch the VB to see when you will be scheduled, probably early next year.
July 23, 2024 at 04:12
Hello Mr. Brit Simon, thank you for everything you do to help the DV lottery winners. May God bless you. I would like to have your expertise on my concerns:
1) I am a DV2025 winner with case number 2025AF77K and I submitted the DS-260 on July 14, 2024. Is it too late?
2) After filling out the DS-260, my passport was destroyed by my child who scribbled on several pages. If I renew it, will there be a problem at the interview since the passport number will change?
3) What are the negative consequences of unlocking the DS-260?
Thank you very much.
July 23, 2024 at 10:01
1. No
2. No
3. None
August 13, 2024 at 18:44
Hey Simon ,
I trust you’re doing well. Thanks for your help.
I’m DV2025 winner , my case number is 2025AF86*** . I submitted my Ds260 in May 10th , I’m leaving currently in Qatar so I choose US embassy here for interview.
Any chance for me ?
August 13, 2024 at 20:18
Maybe. Too early to know.
July 22, 2024 at 11:24
I selected Facebook as the social media I use …..and I wrote the username of my Facebook account but I didn’t mention my profile link….Do I need to unlock my ds 260 for that….I am edv 2025 winner and have case number AS7.9k
July 22, 2024 at 20:49
I would not unlock for that.
July 20, 2024 at 00:50
Hi Simon,
I’m Lucette from Ghana, I won the 2025 DV with case Number of 2025AF18*** is that high or low number?
First of all what’s your thoughts about how many cases will be current for Africa and will I be able to get interviewed?
Secondly how many visas are available for Ghana every year and the last one is there any way to know how many people are selected from Africa please!?
July 20, 2024 at 12:04
Your number is measured in ASF region. Nothing to do with the country. It’s a low number.
However, Accra have been misbehaving for some years, and if they continue to do that in DV2025 you will lose your chance. You should therefore move to another country. Go and watch my videos to understand this important point!
July 24, 2024 at 04:59
Wow! 😩🙆Then that’s wired.
But how do you see unlocking and moving our case to Cote D’Ivoire?
Or if you can recommend any neighboring country where we stand a chance please!!?
July 24, 2024 at 08:33
You would move to a country that you can move to. I can’t recommend what will work for you.
July 17, 2024 at 10:23
Hi Simon, my cousin won the dv 2025 i have been following you on YouTube until we have submitted his Ds 260 but i heard other people saying an Affidavit of support should be carried along when going for the interview but i have not seen it on the document listed on the website http://www.travel.state.gov as part of the documents needed when going for the dv lottery interview . When should this happen if it is at all?
July 17, 2024 at 10:26
The I-134 is required in some cases. It is presented at the interview.
July 17, 2024 at 10:00
Hello Simo
AF202538k
Do I stand a chance kindly?
July 17, 2024 at 10:25
It is a low number – so you should be fine if your embassy works normally.
July 15, 2024 at 06:40
Hello BritSimon,
I have seen August VB where AF region is kept current, what is the chance for 2024AF78XXX getting 2NL? My consulate is DRS.
July 15, 2024 at 09:36
DRS is heavily backlogged, so it is unlikely you will get a chance there.
July 11, 2024 at 13:31
Hy Brit I want to know your predictions …. Do you think that the candidates with case number upto 13000 from Nepal will also get chance in 2025 as like the 2024…
July 11, 2024 at 13:46
I don’t know
June 26, 2024 at 21:01
My case number is AS000078** but i wrote 78** only in ds260 is that ok?
June 27, 2024 at 09:08
No – unlock and correct.
June 22, 2024 at 15:44
I m edv lottery winner of 2025 …. I have three dependents including my two kids what happens if one of my dependents get fail in medical … are we all denied the visa or only the one who fails to pass the medical will not be granted the visa ?
June 22, 2024 at 16:24
Only that derivative would be affected.
June 15, 2024 at 11:05
Dear Simon,
DV2025, 35*** have any chance to interview in accordance your knowledge and great experience?
Thank you for your answers!
June 15, 2024 at 12:08
I can’t guess your region.
June 15, 2024 at 23:12
Oh sorry)) The region is EU, Kazakhstan
June 16, 2024 at 09:34
Then it is quite a high number and you will have to wait until we have more information.
June 20, 2024 at 23:18
Hi Simon
When we submitted the DS 260 the principal passport had not expire but after one month expired and applied in April and was ready to take June 25
Is there any problem with the interview
June 20, 2024 at 23:21
CN 2025AF27***
June 21, 2024 at 09:06
No – as long as you have a new passport, no problem.
June 22, 2024 at 01:01
Thank you Simon
June 12, 2024 at 11:22
Dear sir I found my date mistake that I entered during edv lottery entry …I rectified it during filling my ds260 form …will it be an issue to get my 2nd letter ?
June 11, 2024 at 10:28
Hi Simon
I am a winner of 2025 with the case Number of 2025AS25*** first of all what’s your thoughts about how many cases will be current for Asia and will I be able to be interviewed secondly how many visas are available for Asia every year and the last one is there any way to know how many people are selected from Asia
June 11, 2024 at 10:30
1. We don’t know how many people are selected, so it is too soon to know your chances.
2. The quota for Asia is about 9000 visas
June 11, 2024 at 05:30
Hi simon
2025 As21*** have any chance to interview as ur knowledge ?
June 11, 2024 at 10:08
Too early to know.
June 9, 2024 at 13:51
Hey Brit,
I appreciate the amazing job you’re doing. 2025AF18***, I submitted my DS260 on 7th May, I realized way later that I put my mobile number as Hubby’s primary number and his primary mobile number as the second one, should I unlock the DS260 to rectify this?
Secondly, we have two daughters and on the last bit of DS260 where it asks if anyone assisted in filling the form I answered “NO” since they are aged 13 & 9.I was expected to fill without consulting them. Is this in order or should I have answered “Yes” ?
Lastly, I sat for my KCSE exam in the year 2000 and had a retake in 2002 in Kenya, should I have both certificates certified by KNEC and present both during the interview? I listed both certificates in my DS260.
TIA.
June 9, 2024 at 14:10
1. No
2. It’s not a problem.
3. Yes
June 8, 2024 at 23:14
Hi DEAR SIMON HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL?PLEASE MY CASE NUMBER IS 2025AF00085…I’m in TOGO WEST AFRICA…DO I HAVE SOME CHANCES AND DIDN’T FILL MY DS YET… ANY DELAY FOR THE DS? AND MISTAKE IN MY SURNAMES PLEASE ANSWER ME…THANKS
June 9, 2024 at 00:10
It is too early to know about your chances.
June 6, 2024 at 20:23
Sir I am unable to fill my ds 260 form yet due to delay in my and my family’s passports availability… I will receive passports within in next 3/4 days and I will hurry for ds 260… Will I have any delay issue? I m from Nepal and my case number is 2025AS7** please also let me know about my visa chances as I have all my genuine documents and criteria…
June 6, 2024 at 22:20
You did not need to wait for passports. BUT it doesn’t really matter. A small delay won’t cause harm.
June 4, 2024 at 03:41
I’m a DV2025 Winner, still hasn’t submitted my DS-260. Can I submit it in August 2024 or should I do immediately? Thanks
June 4, 2024 at 10:25
You can submit now or later – your choice.
June 3, 2024 at 17:08
Dear simon how do you do?
I am dv 2025 winner and my case number AF26*** Still now i didn’t fill the ds 260
How fast do i need to fill the Ds 260 form and will there any notification from KCC to fill the Ds 260?
June 3, 2024 at 22:12
There will be no notification, fill it out now.
May 31, 2024 at 20:12
Dear Simon,
Thank you for your informative video on DV lottery New Policy for embassy moving. I have a question regarding interview locations for Iranians. Besides the designated embassies in Abu Dhabi, Ankara, and Yerevan, which U.S. embassies would you recommend for Iranians to transfer their interview to, considering factors like less busy schedules and better processing times?
I appreciate your guidance on this matter.
Best regards,
Ray
May 31, 2024 at 21:51
I have shown how to evaluate embassies, but the choice has to be made by the selectee, considering embassy performance and also the ability to go there. Also there is risk in post interview processing for Iranians.
May 30, 2024 at 14:51
Dear Simon,
I would like to understand how the issuance of the 55,000 visas by the KCC each year works. If a single case number represents a family of six individuals, does that mean six visas are counted out of the 55,000, or is each case number considered as one visa?
Thank you.
May 30, 2024 at 14:53
55000 – 6
May 29, 2024 at 02:17
Hello Simon, hope you are doing well, i’m EU almost 30k 2025 winner,what are the odds getting an inteview base on previous years statistics,do i have good chances?I just want to know what to expect to don’t get surprissed.Thank you!
May 29, 2024 at 18:40
We won’t know selectee numbers until July/August, so until then any guess would be a baseless guess.
May 28, 2024 at 07:22
Dear simon how do you do?
I am dv 2025 winner and my case number AF34** Still now i didn’t fill the ds 260 because of i have no sponsor/host address is expected time to submit ds 260 form
And can i use the individual who have only work visa (no citzenship or no green card)as a host address he who working in world bank
May 28, 2024 at 12:14
There are no requirements for the person that allows you to use their address for delivery of the greencard.
May 28, 2024 at 03:41
Dear Simon,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire if there are any available statistics for the DV Lottery 2025, specifically regarding the last case number for the Asia region, including Iran. Additionally, I would appreciate any information on the distribution of case numbers.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Ray
May 28, 2024 at 10:58
No – it’s too early to have stats for that.
May 28, 2024 at 02:31
Simon sir I am from Nepal and my case number is 7*** ….how much chance do I have to get the visa ?
May 28, 2024 at 10:56
Pretty good – but you don’t mention the year.
May 28, 2024 at 11:23
Edv 2025
May 24, 2024 at 19:01
Thanks for your reply … sir the spelling of the municipality I have been living is different in my passport and my supportive documents… like sundarharaicha municipality in my passport and sundarharaiNcha in my supporting documents… does it matter….
May 25, 2024 at 07:04
The DS260 should be accurate. You don’t mention which spelling is accurate.
May 28, 2024 at 12:20
Both of them are correct
May 24, 2024 at 03:18
Sir I have made mistakes in my edv lottery form about my dependent’s date of birth? Does it avoid me getting edv visa ?
May 24, 2024 at 11:07
Not normally – just make sure it is correct the the DS260.
May 23, 2024 at 10:30
Hi Simon, I have been selected for DV2025. I am located in Indonesia but my wife and kids are in Singapore. Will it be okay to schedule interview separately (them in Singapore, me in Indonesia)
Thanks.
May 23, 2024 at 10:36
The normal process is to interview together. Whilst a separate interview is technically possible, it introduces complication and risk, so I do not recommend it unless absolutely unavoidable.
May 23, 2024 at 10:43
Should i change my interview location to Singapore? since my schedule is more flexible as my kids are attending school and may not be convenient to take absence.
Thanks.
May 23, 2024 at 15:13
Possibly – you can decide for yourself.
May 23, 2024 at 08:43
Can i use a marriage affidavit as a proof of marriage if i dont have a certificate
May 23, 2024 at 08:58
You should be able to provide a marriage cert, even if that means getting a replacement certificate.
May 22, 2024 at 19:36
Hey Simon.
I am from Iran, Asia, case No. 2025AS00013XXX. I’ve already submitted my DS-260 and chosen Abu Dhabi, UAE for my interview.
1- Do you see any chance to be invited for an interview based on previous years?
2- Seemingly Yerevan, Armenia U.S consular performance was better than Turkey and UAE. Do you think if I am supposed to request KCC to change my location?
Thank you
Ray
May 22, 2024 at 19:54
1. Probably OK, but we will know better later
2. ABD will be OK.
May 23, 2024 at 04:50
Thank you!
May 19, 2024 at 06:58
Hi Simon,
I’m not married but I have a child, so i applied as single and included my child since i have one, also my gf also applied as single and also included my child.
Is there any implication if we win.
Note: we both use the same last name
May 19, 2024 at 08:35
You gf was not entitled to add your child so if she won, she could be disqualified.
But the draw has already happened, so why are we discussing “if we win”?
May 17, 2024 at 17:02
family with 3 kids, while applying 1 picture was used for 2 boys(kids) by mistake. is it something can be fixed on interview?
May 17, 2024 at 17:09
You should understand that is a high risk of denial for the whole case. If you cannot afford to risk the fees, then I would suggest you do not proceed with the case at all. But if you do want to proceed, then don’t mention the mistake unless the CO brings it up. If it is raised, just answer honestly.
May 17, 2024 at 07:25
Hi Simon.
I have a question in regards to AV queue.
You’ve described how cases are being added based on DS-260 processed + CN is current per VB.
Does the region (AF, AS, EU, OC, SA) plays a role when case into AV stage?
May 17, 2024 at 08:27
Possibly, yes. There is some evidence (and a statement from the government) that suggests that when case numbers are added to a queue with people from more than one region, the region is used alphabetically in the order you listed. This isn’t a problem in a non backlogged embassy, but can mean an embassy might be seeming to favor one region over another in a particular month.
May 17, 2024 at 02:34
My name is ikram shakib sufi
This is my 6th time to enter the lotery and iam not succeed.
What else can I do?
My gmail:[email protected]
May 17, 2024 at 06:54
Selection is 100% random, there is no way to change this. Just keep entering
May 17, 2024 at 08:18
Keep trying each year and also see if there are other ways you can qualify for other visas.
May 16, 2024 at 23:50
what about 9095 visa for 2020
May 17, 2024 at 08:12
Still waiting for the appeal.
May 22, 2024 at 04:28
He must not forget us, we are still waiting because since 2020 I have been trying nothing yet so far, please help us, we really need it.
May 22, 2024 at 09:15
No one has forgotten.
June 13, 2024 at 06:09
Hi Simon
The principal of Dv2025 is my husband and submitted DS260 May 12, and CN27*** but his passport expiration date June 8,2024 applied for passport renewal on April
Is there any problem the 2Nl ?
June 13, 2024 at 09:25
No problem.
