Excellent news! Thanks for letting us know!

Just a recap at those wanting to see what it shows. It will only show CNs in the system. Cases not yet current/processed will not show.

You choose immigrant visa and enter the CN without the leading zeros - for example, try 2014EU1000

You will notice not every consecutive number is there. Those cases are holes and perhaps cases where the forms have not been submitted.

Derivatives are shown connected with the primary selectee.

The CEAC data also shows that a number can exist in more than one region (proving numbers are by region). Example 2014OC9 and 2014EU9 (visa issued with derivative refused!)

Hi.
I just checked the status of my case and one visa number is missing. Instead of 7 in all, there are only 6 available.
What could be the problem?

Are the visa numbers assigned in the same order by which the names of beneficiaries are reported on the 2NL?
I am worried because I have a 21 year old listed.

Any ideas?
 
So it works like this now 2014 CAEC only works when its 2014!
Good news for all adminstrative processing, they can follow up their status...
 
Simon you were right from the beginning the the derivatives takes the same cn number as
The principal they just even get a number 1 2 3 that's attached to main applicant!
Like 2014AF2000

But at the time of entry, she was 19years and some months old. That will be so unfair since I have only followed the instructions and nothing more.
Besides, if the numbers are assigned according to the order in which the names are listed on the 2NL, then an 8year old has rather been omitted.

If your interview has been scheduled than you may contact the embassy to sort out this matter, as soon as possible!
 
Hopefully, they can E=vladek15425;2671567]If your interview has been scheduled than you may contact the embassy to sort out this matter, as soon as possible![/QUOTE]

Yes, my interview is scheduled. Just 2 weeks away, but i have sent an email to the embassy.
Hopefully, they can tell me something.

Roselyna, it unfortunately looks like your daughter has aged-out hence the 6 listed visa numbers as against 7 for your family. It really doesn't matter that you listed her as instructed by the DV rules. Usually when a child turns 21 before the visa is issued, they're no longer considered direct beneficiaries.

But before we can say with certainty, tell us exactly when she turned 21. The period in between when selectees were announced in May and when their beneficiaries turn 21 before their visas get issued make it possible for some children to still be considered as being under 21 as at the time of the interview.

Yup. Since it is OC only - you could do that manually, but you could also write a script to get that data if you are a bit more technical...

She turned 21 in September 2013, but I had submitted our forms already.

I was hoping they would freeze her age. At least that was what I was directed to do. This will be so unfair.
I hope this is some kind of mistake. I just hope it is.

As I mentioned earlier - it won't show numbers not yet current/processed. If yours is current, then make sure you dropped the leading zeros.

Interesting for the Oceania Region the 439 cns that I went through there are..

207 visas already issued
21 on AP
22 Rejected.

And they average around 35 interviews per month spread over Sydney, Suva Auckland, London, Abu Dhabi,

LOL Mijoro - you have been desperate to get this info haven't you.

If you are noting the data try and get a note of how many cases versus holes - I'm assuming the 207 is including derivatives.
