I have created a video to explain the holes rate for OC and SA regions. This will give you a better idea of where your case sits relative to all the other cases in your region.
If you understand what holes rate is and simply want the quick answer – the OC holes rate is 47% and the SA rate is 39%. In both regions the holes rate will be consistent throughout the range.
High case numbers reported or calculated for the two regions are OC – 3300 and SA 4500.

Dear BritSimon
Does anyone from dv21 received 2nd letter ?
September 2, 2020 at 18:23
2NL is the interview notification – so no – because no one will be scheduled while the ban is in force.

Hola , Brit yo envié la DS260 en agosto del año pasado mi caso de dv2020 , tenemos oportunidad???

Always post in English.
No you have almost no chance. This process has a time limit, you should have done something about it earlier.
At the moment everyone is blocked by the immigrant ban, and there is a court case being decided to see what happens. So – watch this website for the next few days.

Good afternoon Brit and Friends, i hope we are all doing well and hoping for the best to come soonest. From the look of things it seem the US Embassies in some countries are getting close to open but it is based on the country’s Pandemic situation.
Below is the information posted by the US Embassy in my country where am living currently which is Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Important Notice for K visa applicants affected by COVID-19
Last Updated: August 31, 2020
Posts will resume K visa application processing as local conditions and resources allow. Applicants should check the website of their nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for updates on what services that post is currently able to offer. The I-129 Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) is typically valid for four months; however, consular officers may revalidate the I-129 petition in four month increments. For most cases impacted by the suspension of routine visa services or COVID-19 travel restrictions it will not be necessary to file a new I-129 petition.

There is a regional quota which will be 1600 to 1700 in DV2021. It is not allocated to countries, so it’s first come first served, based on interviews, interviews are scheduled based on case numbers, and processed DS260s/documents.
August 31, 2020 at 13:33
Hi, when you submit ds 260 form, does kcc sent an email as confirmation or not ? Thanks
August 31, 2020 at 20:21
Most people report receiving a confirmation. Not all do.
September 1, 2020 at 12:49
I have recivied the confirmation number after submited the ds form. I am asking about sendind the document or maybe its early.
September 1, 2020 at 20:23
Be patient. Processing time varies.
August 30, 2020 at 20:00
Hey Simon, I’ve submitted to your survey already but just so you know I’ve seen on an Australians in the US group someone who said their case number is 35XX for Oceania
August 30, 2020 at 22:34
OK. That might stretch the number range a little.
August 29, 2020 at 17:32
Hello BritSimon!
I have filled the ds 260 form since july 24th but still they do not send me a link to send my supportive documents.
My question is for how long does it take to be replied after filling in the ds260 form?
August 29, 2020 at 17:44
Can vary case by case. Be patient.
