June 10, 2015 at 15:51
Thank you.
June 10, 2015 at 15:46

June 10, 2015 at 15:48
For goodness sake – stop being silly. You will wait until September and will then be current!
Spare a thought for thos people with TRULY high numbers who actually have a reason to be sad. You DON’T.

June 10, 2015 at 15:51
Hi Brit,
do you think that EU is going to have any increase next month? some increase? I almost get to be current, but i’m not. And last year i saw there weren’t increased at all. What do you think?
i’m going to loose my hair!
thank you for everything
June 10, 2015 at 23:09
It is hard to be sure – we can only wait and see…
June 11, 2015 at 06:27
ok, only one more month of waiting… hope to have some increase.
Finger crossed!
Thank you 🙂
June 10, 2015 at 15:56
according to this VB what do you think about 602XX do you think i have a good chance or not?
June 10, 2015 at 15:56
With the small AS increase in Aug, do you think there is a reduction to annual AS regional quota? Possibility that it is down from 8500 to 8000? Thx
June 10, 2015 at 23:08
I don’t know…
June 10, 2015 at 15:57
Finally!!! I’m current!!
I just want to thank you Simon for this amazing site, when I came here a couple of months ago, I had no clue about the holes, response rate, approval rate… and I learned so much thanks to your efforts and I was less worried. Thank you again to make things easier for DV selectees to understand the whole process !
June 10, 2015 at 23:08
Glad to help. Enjoy the interview!
June 10, 2015 at 15:58
Thanks GOD ,thanks BRIT my number is current ,now what can I do for the next step??
June 10, 2015 at 23:08
Wait for your 2NL
June 10, 2015 at 16:00
with AS100xx I lost any hope to become current.
June 10, 2015 at 23:05
You should not give up with that number….
June 10, 2015 at 16:01
plz can u tell me how visas are left for nepal now
June 10, 2015 at 23:05
Less than 1000
June 10, 2015 at 16:02
Hi Brit, My number is current for August interview , I am from Egypt but i will get interviewed in UAE . My question is, when will i get the 2NL, to know exactly when is my scheduled interview. You know there are some vacations that we are planning and i want to just have an idea before i plan
June 10, 2015 at 23:05
2NLs will come out in 1 to 2 weeks.
June 10, 2015 at 16:05
hello brit I have the number SA141 *’ll have some chance of being called in the next bulletin?
June 10, 2015 at 23:04
Yes!
June 10, 2015 at 16:08
Hi Simon,
Thank you very much for always replying to the comments:) My number is finally current for August:)
June 10, 2015 at 23:04
Congrats!
June 10, 2015 at 16:13
plz brit what do u think now about case number AF704** do i have good chance or not???
June 10, 2015 at 23:03
I am afraid you do not have much chance, if any. I’m sorry.
June 10, 2015 at 16:15
please reply me for two things:
1. is there any chance for AS153XX ?
2. Can we apply for H1 visa with Higher National Diploma qualification ?
June 10, 2015 at 23:03
1. No – probably hopeless.
2. HND on its own may not be enough – but that and experience might be enough. You need 3 years of experience for each year of missing education.
June 11, 2015 at 06:01
But, one more clarification, please reply
my HND in IT, i have 7 years experience, but that experience is not in IT field (but some other professions like admin, HR…)
is that accepted? OR the experience should be in IT?
June 11, 2015 at 06:17
The experience should be in the field that matches the role you are being offered. You are basically showing you are exceptionally skilled and suited to the job.
June 10, 2015 at 16:16
Dear Bri
any chance for AF 70xxx.?
Thanks.
June 10, 2015 at 23:01
Sadly, I don’t think so.
June 11, 2015 at 07:07
so what if response rate decrease ?
thanks.
June 11, 2015 at 07:14
The response rate can only increase, not decrease
June 11, 2015 at 09:56
So what exactly reasons make me get the chance?
June 10, 2015 at 16:18
Well the guest mate was very good for Af my interest, how ever I am interesting in reviewing the density of cases between 44000 to 60000 cus our case fall in 5288x. By the way, Brit. Are you saying you are not going to make prediction for the last Vb?
Thanks again great work.
June 10, 2015 at 23:01
I might not estimate because they will apply a diffe4rent method to setting the final number – we’ll see.
Your number is safe…
June 10, 2015 at 16:18
congratulation and thank you for everything. I would just like to know if you think they will reach 62000.
June 10, 2015 at 22:57
There is a chance of that…. we can only wait and see…
June 10, 2015 at 16:20
Hi brit what do u think about my cn 2015af52758 and thank’s
June 10, 2015 at 16:39
Wait and see maya.we have the same case…what’s your country?
June 10, 2015 at 22:57
Safe!
June 10, 2015 at 16:24
Hi Brit, I’m SA141X. It looks like I should be current in the last VB next month. I’m currently planning to do AOS, but do you think it would be wiser to do CP? My consulate would be Panama City, Panama. Thanks!
June 10, 2015 at 22:58
You cannot switch at this point – your DS260 has been processed as AoS and that involves less background checks – so it would not be wise to switch.
June 11, 2015 at 16:59
Thank you for your guidance Brit!
June 10, 2015 at 16:28
So now AS 124XX has almost no chance?
June 10, 2015 at 22:58
Very small chance…
June 10, 2015 at 16:31
THANKS MR BRITI ET CHAPEAU FOR U NOW 2015AF532XX STILL HAVE A RISQUE??????????????MERCI
June 10, 2015 at 22:59
No =- safe.
June 10, 2015 at 16:31
Hi brit
am sad that the bulletin for Af is quite low but impressive though
but i cant help but worry about my case number which is Af59158
what do u think my chances are
June 10, 2015 at 16:31
hi mr simon
does it means we are remaining with only one VB?
thank you in advance
June 10, 2015 at 22:21
Yes – one VB left
June 10, 2015 at 16:33
WOW my CN 2015AF4431X ………………..
June 10, 2015 at 16:35
hii sir thank you for your great work
1- how many cases are between 44250 and 49250?
2- my cn is around 492XX , it’s safe ?
what do you think for cut-off , it will be >55XXX ?
thank you sir
June 10, 2015 at 22:21
Your number is safe – stop stressing and overthinking.
June 10, 2015 at 16:41
Any hope AS11600?
June 10, 2015 at 22:20
Some chance still – we can only wait and see…
June 10, 2015 at 16:48
AF 6100X have a chance? i sill have hope
June 10, 2015 at 22:14
Yes that still has a chance…
June 10, 2015 at 17:00
Still optimistic…. cn af50xxx will get current by september.. i keep the prayer up
..
June 10, 2015 at 17:01
In DV2014 August bulletin was 12700, there is a big gap between last year and this year, Brit: do you have any prediction for the final cutoff for ASIA? Thank you.
June 10, 2015 at 22:13
No prediction at this point….
June 10, 2015 at 17:05
Why Asia become with this Number? I thought they will speed up the process but now I think they even won’t reach 8000 visa! My CN 112xx and I lost my hope I can’t even imagine they will jump over 4000 in one month! the CEAC data tell us that the process is slow and the number of issued visa are still behind the average but the VB telling different crazy thing!
June 10, 2015 at 20:51
-They DID add 4000 number in one month last year
-plus I heard after 8k – 9k the density will be less .. around 140 Visa per 1000 or smthing
that’s what gives me hope for my case number (around AS11000) to go current this year .
I hope BritSimon approves or adds something to what I said !!!
#Peace.
June 10, 2015 at 23:12
AS11000 isn’t impossible – we can only wait and see…
June 10, 2015 at 21:34
Don’t forget that the VB is two months ahead of the CEAC data – so there is only 1 VB left now – but more than 3.5 months of processing.
June 10, 2015 at 17:09
Hi brit, after this fine jump for Afrique, will we see a final VB jump of 22k?
June 10, 2015 at 21:33
22K sounds very high, very optimistic….
June 10, 2015 at 17:16
af593xx
June 10, 2015 at 21:32
You have a chance for next month.
June 10, 2015 at 17:21
Sir, am on aap for 135 day from ROA, would you please let me know if they are increasing the pace to clear pending APs in the last 3 months?!
June 10, 2015 at 21:29
That is unusually long – and AP varies. Any increase in pace cannot be assumed to apply to all AP cases.
June 10, 2015 at 17:33
Hi brit,thnx for ur always helpful ideas.n thnx God i am current 2015Af43***..my only dilemma is im currently working in qatar n i chose Nairobi as my place of interview.plse advise if is it logical to start making arrangements early with my employer for my travel back home before i recieve my 2nl…
I’m concerned waiting until my 2Nl email comes might delay me coz a lot of valuable time would be wasted,
The company would need to undertake many legalities to issue me my exit permit…..
June 10, 2015 at 21:28
You will get the 2NL in about 2 weeks – and that is at least 6 to 7 weeks before the interview….
June 10, 2015 at 17:34
Hi Simon
I am an Iranian. According to the numbers reported in this month, In next bulletin Do we have a chance 84XX number or not?
I’m very disappointed and I do not know if there will be a chance With AP or not.
June 10, 2015 at 21:28
You should get current yes – but avoiding AP is important as you don’t have time to clear AP
June 12, 2015 at 11:13
That is very riskyyy. But i still see a white dot on black board.
Thank Simon
June 12, 2015 at 16:20
🙂
Good for you! Best of luck.
June 10, 2015 at 17:34
Can AF be current in september?
June 10, 2015 at 21:20
NO!
June 10, 2015 at 17:36
Dear Brit,
I have some thoughts about last VB for ASIA. Please confirm?
4400 visas issued by end of MAY with VB AS5275
To issue 8500 visas (Quota of ASIA) what will be the last VB?
Last VB = Quota of ASIA * MAY VB / Visas issued end of May
Last VB = 8500 visas * AS5275 / 4400 visas
Last VB = AS10190
June 10, 2015 at 21:20
As I responded in the forum – that is not the way it works….
June 10, 2015 at 17:43
AF63xxx how about my fate mr. Britsimon. thanks in advance for the good job. whether will be current or not , my salute Sir.
June 10, 2015 at 21:35
Hard to be sure – we can only wait and see…
June 10, 2015 at 17:47
HI BRIT
IF AF IS CURRENT IN SEPTEMBER, THEN WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CN: AF64700?
HOPING A RESPOND FROM YOU
June 10, 2015 at 21:17
AF will not be current in September. As for AF64700, we will have to wait and see…
June 10, 2015 at 17:55
Hi Simon,
I am now current.
Many thanks for all the work and help that you have done and are doing.
I wonder if I call to KCC tomorrow or the day after will they tell me the interview date for August?
June 10, 2015 at 21:16
Don’t call yet – they will take some time to schedule interviews…. and anyway – you can wait to see the 2NL – it is still 6+ weeks before the interview….
June 10, 2015 at 21:25
do you think the 2nl will come out in about 10 days?
is it possible not to receive 2nl after becoming current?
or to receive 2nl, but not receive visas, as in August they may be finished?
Would you please tell me how long is the validity of the police certificates? if now I apply to receive them I will get them in a month’s time.
Thanks a lot!
June 10, 2015 at 18:06
You are an EXPERT.
June 10, 2015 at 18:38
Hi ! Congratulations to everyone that came current today! Can someone please clarify if there will be another Visa Bulletin release for August 2015? My case number is EU4020X, do I have chance of becoming current in the next visa bulletin if it is released?
June 10, 2015 at 23:13
There is one VB left, you have a chance of getting current. Good luck!
June 10, 2015 at 18:54
Dear Britsimon,
I am current for August. Thank you for your good assistance, posts, uplifting messages from first VB to up to now.
Thanks and Best Regards
June 10, 2015 at 20:46
Good luck with the interview!
June 10, 2015 at 19:04
case number AF704** do i have chance or no???
June 10, 2015 at 20:45
Probably not, no. sorry.
June 10, 2015 at 19:13
Oohhhh Brit u are the best am current for august interview, cn AF 386**.thanks for your effort n concern
June 10, 2015 at 20:45
Congrats!
June 10, 2015 at 19:22
hi brit
I am lost; I know that there is more hope with my cn 598xx; according to you what is the kcc can take more than 16000 .pleaz have I another stalk of luck for this dv of which I think finished.
June 10, 2015 at 20:45
It is too early to give up hope with that number…
June 11, 2015 at 04:50
Cn 2015af598xx
June 10, 2015 at 19:32
Hi Brit, I’m happy that Africa got a good jump but I’m said cuz I don’t see the possibility of reaching to af75000. What do you think Brit? I feel KCC really didn’t do a good job for people with high case number.
June 10, 2015 at 20:44
I think that number is looking hopeless now. Remember KCC are not trying to please people with a high number – they are just trying to fill the quota.
June 10, 2015 at 19:41
There are around 5151 CN between AF 44250 and AF 59900. Do you think that KCC gives a cut-off below 59900 ? For my part, it will be surprising. I had a tool like what US Embassy in Yaoundé, there are only 683 visas to distribute on June 5. Certainly the same in other African embassy.
Do not think there is a big jump in the cut-off final to catch visa delay has to offer ?
June 10, 2015 at 20:43
Don’t forget those 5151 cases represent about 11000 people – but around half of those will not have responded and some won’t get approved.
Also – there are still 3.5 months of processing….
