Possibly. There is an unverified copy of a cable (attached) sent by Rubio that seems to suggest they will stop the acceptance of the I-134, and will revert instead to the total circumstances. We haven't seen any official confirmation or change in the rules as of now, BUT that could happen in...

Interesting. That suggests they are working on extra cases... we'll see on January 1

Not Sydney on Wednesday - right? They normally only do Tuesdays...

The quota for each region is calculated as a percentage of the available visas, so each region has slightly less visas available because of the reduction to 51850. However, there is a part of the law that allows unused visas from a region being distributed to other regions, and the travel bans...

Yeah, probably a 50/50 chance...

Note a couple more points. CUBAN selectees reportedly had no selectees. UK selectees 1303. Both of this are corrected because of my lawsuit, and this was clearly why they delayed the announcement of the dv2026 results. The 1303 selectee number is ridiculous, and is around 4 times what it...

Here is the explanation of the queue ordering.
