Let me see if I understand you correctly, since AS and SA are in a different region, the quota never mix with the low admission region. So we should see the same visa and cut off pattern given: 1) the density doesn't change 2) the derivitive ratio ( issued visa per CN ) doesn't change 3) the...

Hi DV4Roger, Thanks for the calculation. I have a question about AS and SA not benefiting from the Nigeria visas. It seems the redistribution of visa is calculated on state and region rather than just region. Under INA 203c ss (E) sss (iii), redistribution apply to High admission region and...

Lol, how do I change my interview location to Nepal again? Just kidding, I seriously risk AP and it will be too complicated. I have to say my prediction may be a bit self-fufilling, but a part of me says, AS10xxx is a fairly safe number (I would say 90% safe). What do you think britsimon?

I hope so too, we are sort of on the same boat.

Thank you Britsimon and Sussie, just saw you post and I posted up the law for everyone's reference.

Hm.... let if see if I understand you correctly. I got it wrong, it should be the other way around. Your parents need to be a temp for you to charge. "Even if the circumstances above are true ie parents were there temporarily, if the country is eligible you can use it for chargeability ..."...

That's right, in the sense of DV, native means you are born in that country. I believe that what the rules refers to as a part of chargebility. It is confusing since there are exceptions: 1) native means you are born in that country (exception, your parents were temporarily there when you were...

Very interesting court cases and great post Mom. Would you consider the immunity does not equal no accountability? Just like any other federal department, DoS is subject to accountability review, specifically by their OIG. Now, whether they rectify whatever the OIG finds is another matter...but...

Good point Susie. I would add reading and understanding the instruction is minimum. Researching on definition is a bonus, but in practice is highly recommended. Ever notice, when you see a CBP immigration official, the 1st question usually is " What is your country of citizenship? That's...

Not a problem, I enjoy a different opinion from you, britsimon and others. Let me also point out my view is just a wild guess based on what we know (the cut off numbers, beyond that, it's all speculation) Now, let's take a moment to examine some points: Predictability of issue rate: I suspect...

Really appreciate the Montreal specific insights. Did they ask for any proof of asset? If so, in what format? (i.e. Canadian bank statement, I134, property ownership)

Thanks, that really helps. Hopefully my interview will be as smooth as yours. Congrats again.

Thanks for the tips and congrats Wissamo. Did they ask for both high school diploma and university (you mentioned highest level of education) diploma? Or just the university diploma?

Really appreciate your input Britsimon, I am a big fan of your post and blog (Yes, I read every single one of your blog.....no joke) I must admit I agree with your points about Nepal and Iran when it comes to DV cases. One huge factor we must consider is these posts do a lot more than DV cases...

I have seen a question before regarding why Macau is considered EU instead of AS. Another guess from me is that Macau, being a former Portugal colony, people are given the right of residence/citizenship of Portugal, hence the EU classification. Hong Kong, was a British colony. However, people...

I gonna take a wild guess and I don't follow the AF as closely, so here it goes: It all comes down to how predictable the rate of issue/AP/denial is. You will notice Egypt and Ethiopia (and Nigeria) have a special cut off right form the 1st VB vs Nepal and Iran usually get their special cut...

:D Glad that I credit you in advance, lol Jokes aside, I've been following your and Mom's logic for a while. Great job for putting the blog together.

Hey FSW2015, we are in the same CN range, my CN is also AS10***. I am guessing KCC is playing catch up with the folks that have been current, but limited by the interview capacity at the 4 post serving Nepal and Iran mostly. At this point, I wouldn't worry too much. Assuming the density and...

Hi Macanese, Goodluck for DV2016. The Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan folks are a rare breed here. I am from Hong Kong and have seen 2 other Hong Kong selectees on this forum.

Very interesting Jan VB. Notice Asia only moved from 3200 to 3250 while OC moved from 650 to 700. My guess is KCC gets to schedule a lot of AS and OC selectees in Jan, who have been current in the prior months (lots of folks have been current and still waiting for 2NL), hence the small...
