Many will be surprised at how little movement there is in the numbers. The three main regions moved by a trvial amount and the small regions not alt all. I&#8217;m sure people were expecting more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I published a video which explained why this is happening. The reality is that there are more than enough cases becoming DQ from the cases already current to satisfy capacity. The visa office determined there was simply no need to increase the VB number to fill the capacity. However, the important question is what capacity are they trying to fill.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the explanation for the low numbers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_45839\"  width=\"676\" height=\"380\"  data-origwidth=\"676\" data-origheight=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dYwRK9ugh58?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3313\" src=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1005\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB.jpg 1005w, https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB-300x87.jpg 300w, https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB-768x223.jpg 768w, https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB-600x174.jpg 600w, https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Feb22VB-945x275.jpg 945w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1005px) 100vw, 1005px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Those that are current, and have forms processed early enough, can normally expect their 2NL in the next 2 to 3 weeks from now. The new no documents procedure is still a little unknown, so we will have to wait and see exactly how that goes.\u00a0 This is supposed to be the same every month. VB from the 8th to the 15th of each month, and 2NLs in the second half of the month. For the last few months there have been 2NLs in daily batches. I would normally expect all the interview 2NLs to have all been sent by the end of this month. The end of the month really means THE END OF THE MONTH. Please don\u2019t waste my time later this month asking about 2NLs. Please. They can be sent right up until the last day of the month, and even the first few days of the following month during exceptional times.<\/p>\n<p>To those new to looking at VBs, let me explain what the \u201cexcept\u201d XXX country means \u2013 and you can also read this post on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/read-visa-bulletin\/\">how to read the visa bulletin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Processing is spread out over the full year.\u00a0You can see the progress of the two previous years\u00a0in this post about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/dv2019-basic-questions\/\">basic 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<p>To understand why some countries get lower case numbers, read this article about the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/britsimonsays.com\/the-lottery-draw-process-holes-theory-and-so-on\/\">lottery draw process<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Visa Bulletin for March interviews has been released.
