Congratulations abeku66, your paryers have been answered! Now the race for you has began
Judging from the September cut-off numbers it seems that quit a few folks in the AF region have been left out of DV2008. We feel your pain
Last thought: It seems that as we edge towards September DOS is making major leaps in the numbers. 47,000 to 62,300 is a 15,300 difference. Why don't they do that all year long?
Though I'm current, this is really heartbreaking for the folks who had to endure 14 months of anxious waiting only to amount to nothing. It's like a mirage. Well that's life -- you don't always get what you want. Keep on moving forward.
Anyway, to those of us the lucky ones, congrats and good luck with your interviews.

Were sorry, nut we have no infromation on that subject, perhaps you could try some other forums.
3amakmahmoud any view on 2009 Case Number allocation?
3amakmahmoud, it appears you have the inside track. Hence I will like to hear your opinion your take for 2009 DV. It appears that the case/rank numbering for 2009 DV may have changed. If it is true the the numbering may differ from 2008 DV, does your contact has any idea as to how this may affect 2009 FY. Just looking for you to share your thoughts and that is all. Thanks in advance for sharing

Abeku66, no need for insults. It is fun to speculate about this things. Personally, I enjoy reading peoples comments. USA immigration, actually a lot of countries, is somewhat a "blackbox", hence thinking that at least someone has a bit of insight into this "blackbox" should put a smile on all our faces, if accurate or not. I have lived in North America almost all my life, yet I am puzzled by how immigration officers adjucate the many cases that passes through the agency each year.
So let us be open minded about things and let us keep our insultive comments to ourselves.

I am surprised that someone like you who has lived in North America almost all his life should think that a dv applicant who can hardly construct a complete sentence in english without grammatical errors should have inside information into a system which you rightly call a "blackbox"; and even more surprising when you try to solicit his views because you think he's an insider. I wonder whether there's any light in this blackbox. That gentleman must be brought to order, and Abeku66 has just done that. We're not ignorant maniacs whose patience and waiting spirit can be taken for granted by someone who asserts he's insider, but keeps on asking dumb questions on this forum when his insiders at the KCC could have provided him all that info. The truth is that no one knows what happens at the KCC - not even the employees - and even if they do, they are bound by an oath of secrecy not to disclose inside information to applicants in a 'blackbox' system like the dv lottery. Yes, we all have the freedom to speculate and give information to the best of our knowledge - that's the spirit of this forum, but not under the false pretense that we have inside information.
The average american has no idea as to how the immigration system works,. So my friend do not be surprise by my comments. Again let us keep the insults to a minimum, there is no need for it. He may or may not have an insider at KCC, as you well know, one of the rights in USA is freedom of speech. Thus give the man his say. As I said, I personally like to read individuals speculating and playing the guessing game. You may retort without the insults. So let us keep it civil.
