The July visa bulletin contains the data on how many selectees have been notified for DV2017. It’s a LOW number – 10,000 less than DV2016. So, considering DV2016 has just gone current, it seems certain<\/strong> (at first glance) that DV2017 will be current for all regions also – so that takes away a worry that has plagued the DV lottery over recent years. There is no need for “high case numbers” to be worried (apart from maybe a few cases in Nepal).<\/p>\n

To be clear, there will be enough visas in DV2017 for all. There is no country (other than Nepal) that can hit the 7% country limit at these levels.<\/p>\n

Regional breakdown (plus 2016 numbers):<\/p>\n

AF – 38500 (45034)<\/p>\n

EU – 28500 (27011)<\/p>\n

AS – 13499 (15002)<\/p>\n

SA – 1954 (3000)<\/p>\n

OC – 1450 (1500)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These numbers represent winners and family members.<\/p>\n

This low number should reduce DS260 backlog times.<\/p>\n

One last point. 84000 is a low number of selectees. There may be a plan to release a few more selectees later in the year (sometimes referred to as a 2nd draw), but it is not certain. If it happens it may be something like 5000 to 10000 more winners in the world (so a small number compared with the initial draw). Now, I do not know if that will happen! It has happened in some previous years, but we can’t be certain. So – for those not selected they can check again around October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
