The August \u00a0visa bulletin has been released. This is the FINAL VB of DV2017 and is \u00a0for September interviews.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ALL REGIONS ARE CURRENT except Egypt (36500) and Nepal (7450).<\/p>\n

As we can see Egypt and Nepal are still limited. These are the final numbers so for Egypt and Nepal cases above the cutoffs this is the end. People who have missed out have no further possibility of interview.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those that are current, and have forms processed early enough, they can expect their 2NL in about 1 to 2\u00a0 weeks from now. I know I am going to get a lot of people who will ask me this exact question \u2013 so let me say that again.\u00a02NLs will be sent in about one or two weeks time \u2013 that means the latter part of the month.\u00a0<\/strong>The schedule is that VBs are published between the 8th and the 15th of each month, and 2NLs go out from the 15th to the end of the month (most typically around the 20th to 24th). This is the same\u00a0every<\/strong>\u00a0month, so there is no need to ask me.<\/p>\n

To those new to looking at VBs, let me explain what the \u201cexcept\u201d XXX country means.<\/p>\n

Processing is spread out over the full year.\u00a0You can see the progress of the two previous years\u00a0in this post about\u00a0basic questions<\/a>. \u00a0However, some countries have a high number of selectees and those selectees are concentrated in the lower case numbers. For various reasons, mainly\u00a0to do with embassy capacity, KCC slow down certain countries as compared to the region. So \u2013 in Africa, any case with a case number shown as under the new number can be interviewed but for cases from Egypt, that number is lower. That isn\u2019t a big problem, it just \u201cslows down\u201d those countries a little more than the rest of the region. Since selectees from those countries all have lower case numbers, this slowing down does not present any risk. It does not (at this point) mean they won\u2019t allow all selectees an interview from those countries.<\/p>\n

To understand why some countries get lower case numbers, read this article about the\u00a0lottery draw process<\/a>.<\/p>\n
