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, but we seem to be moving to a more normal procedure where almost all the 2NLs are sent before the end of the month, with just a hadful being sent earlier this month. I would normally expect all the interview 2NLs to have all been sent by the end of this month, but we can see recently they are exceeding that to try and get as many interviews in as possible. 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 was released last night.
