I had an interesting question this morning from\u00a0“Ilyas”<\/a> who had looked at the DV data provided by Xarthisius<\/a>. He calculated (correctly) that the file shows 13726 visas have been issued so far. Given that we have had 4.5 months of processing, he speculated that seemed slow progress.<\/p>\n Well – I have been doing this for a number of years and have old data to look back on. So – I decided to compare to data extracts I took in previous years at about this same point. So – below I give the per region numbers for the latest data file we have in DV2018, and below it, the data for February 18, 2015 (DV2015).<\/p>\n My issued number is out by one visa, because I excluded North America region. from both sets of data.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
