SA is different
I have to recalculate SA, but what I see here right now is that changes in SA were possible. Guatemala was added, and quota was increased. For the sake of AS and NA regions (high admission regions).
So, when we see a forum post that all interviews in Mardid were cancelled since Sept. 17, 2004, and we know that some other interviews in other countries were not cancelled (in Israel), that means that was not world quota.
Sept. 17th in Spain. Some interview in Israel were not cancelled even later, hat means that the interviews cancelled in Spain were because of regional or country quota. The only country quota in DV-2004 that could have been exhausted was Ethiopian quota, not Spanish one.
I have evidence that in DV-2000 world quota was exhausted by Sept. 22 and some people who were interviewed before, were not able to get visas because of that.
In DV-1 some regions became unavailable long before September, in March and in May. I am pretty sure some interviews were cancelled as well, as soon as the quotas exhausted.
They also ran with the same pace in DV-13. 10000 by 6/1 each. So that is historical. And the reason is much more late submitters in AF than in EU. More cultural procrastinators. I think hat I a cultural difference. Life is more slow in undeveloped countries.
Regarding the full month length, it...
There s not such thing as high load. DV interviews are a small portion of all interviews at a consulate. They could reschedule other cases to process DV by September.
We also have simultaneous increase in both regions for the number of visas issued compared to DV-13. About 13000 instead of 10000 for 6/3, for either region. That is much more than 7% increase caused by releasing 4K of NACARA quota. That makes me think that quotas are filled earlier in both...
However, we know for sure that the sum of quotas for all regions together is 55000 or less. One of the consequences is that we cannot even consider a possibility that all regions together increased their quotas above 55000. Increasing EU quota would definitely mean decreasing AF quota. However...
Most of them are not rescheduled interviews. We have full history of Warsaw interviews, and the story is similar thee. There you cannot claim most of them are rescheduled, because we have full history.
So, you are afraid to make a bet?! I tough so.
