    Looks like they will still have visas on the 26th!

    DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

    52452 issued plus AOS (about 1000). So we have about 1300 left. They may not *need* to stop the process on Monday, but they might do that anyway.

    DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

    Curtis posted an update that gave the AOS number as 990 as of the 18th, so we can assume that number is over 1000 now.

    DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

    As of today 52155 visas have been issued (excluding AOS). That means just over 1900 visas have been issued since last Friday, about half of those coming from 221g clearances. The last AOS number we had was last week at 902 visas, so let's assume 1000. There is a chance that KCC/VO "forget" to...

    DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

    "we will allocate more visas on October 1st" Holy moly. Answers like that are scary! Well done for taking matters into your hands!

    DV 2024 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Process Only

    In DV2023 the process was announced as ending on the 6th, and embassies started turning people away on the 7th. However, that was announced and cabled to all the embassies. The 23rd is what lawyers for the government have said could happen, but that is not an official notification. Almost 550...

    Relax. Your case is already counted as approved. A visa is allocated.

    DV 2024 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    When you say "AP status", do you mean CEAC says "refused" with a long description (221g, but commonly known as AP ), or do you mean CEAC shows "Administrative Processing". Because that latter status is part of the visa printing process.

    I am DV 2024 Winner. I did not ad my stepchildren in my DV Lottery? Could refuse my visa?

    There is no way that was all the story. I don't believe in "miracles".

    DV 2025 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    There is a global "glitch" that has stopped 2NLs for being sent for any embassy for DV2025. I wrote about it in the article below, including some advice on contacting KCC. https://britsimonsays.com/visa-bulletin-for-november-2024-interviews-published/

    There seems to be a technical problem with sending the 2nls. However many people have emailed kCC and have received replies giving their interview date.

    Makes sense. The physiotherapy will be something you'll need to check on your health insurance to see if there are limits to the number of sessions that will be covered.

    DV 2025 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    You have asked me similar questions a number of times on my blog. That probably means that you are fearful of the move to the USA, perhaps you and your spouse don't agree on what is nest. Let me add some thoughts to what I have said before. 1. $35K isn't a "good" salary anywhere in the USA...

    DV 2024 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    There are many such cases where cases appear to have been skipped. We can't know why in all cases, KCC haven't explained. However, it seems pretty much certain that no further 2NLs will be sent for DV2024 and DV2025 2NLs have started.

    Super high Oceanic number

    I I don't massively disagree, but the law does spend a lot of effort of describing how the quotas are set if they are simply going to ignore them, and we have see years with obvious adherence to the quotas.
