Yup - late results I suppose. They need their time. Sheesh.

It will be interesting how they publish it - either updating the July VB or saving for August VB. There is one other possibility. They recently updated their statistics page with all the latest data (some good stuff there). One thing is that they are showing selectees there outside the VB - so maybe they will just add another year there.

Hello,

My number is EU 23107,

Numbers for JULY EUROPE 23,325

Should I start preparing all documents now and pay the fee ? Please advice
 
With AF going current, do you think the 2 NLs will be sent in batches like previous months (when there was a clear cutoff number) or sporadically throughout the remaining months ?

Official documents are available here: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...tistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html
They started to publish it on March'17. There's no monthly data prior to that, only yearbooks: https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook
 
I made some Math...
If Total issued in 2017 was 48737
From March to September 32608
Then from October to February 16129
And here we go!
From 10/2016 to 05/2017 we have 35010! Now in 2018 30075
Soo we 5000 behind..

Well yes of course. AS is going to have a surplus of visas, and AF is going VERY slow - hence why they had two large jumps.

Hello Xarthisius

Just to clarify, the numbers charted on your website under Annual IV Issuances and Monthly IV Issuances are DV only, right ? These are not the total number of immigrant visas issued for all categories combined. Could you please confirm ? Thanks

At this speed, does it mean that there will be only around 5000 visas available by July, am I correct? Assuming they issue another 4400 visa in June.
