Interviews will ONLY be arranged for people that have submitted their DS260s and documents AND KCC have processed both of those things. So &#8211; I will say this again &#8211; if you are not CERTAIN that KCC are satisfied with your documents &#8211; ask them now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now &#8211; for DV2020 we finally have the selectee numbers. I will paste them below and start looking at the numbers to post some analysis later. But I can already say this &#8211; the high case numbers we have been seeing are NOT the concern of an massively overselected year.
