In DV2024 they increased the selectees to 4450 - a 77% increase over 2023 where the 2503 selected in 2023 were proven to be significantly too many. It made no sense whatsoever. OC has a quota below 900. Even with some moved allocation from other regions (which can happen if a region doesn't use...

I love the beads video!!!

wow.

I remember well both times Mijoro! Hope all is going well.

Ahhh the annual ceremony of the opening of the AOS page. So comforting. Congrats to the selectees - you really cannot be in a better place for DV related AOS - "Mom" is the best resource available.

DV2023 is over, there is nothing more that will happen to any DV2023 case.

You are correct Mom. I have known such cases go for interview and both applicants were treated as principal applicants, which in the case of DV means they had to meet the education/work experience requirements. I have know at least one refusal on that basis, although to be fair I have also know...

Nicely done - congratulations!!

And at a set of 7 years the probability becomes over 51% - meaning more likely than not. Boom.

And just in case you want to say " 3 to 4 years is not 5 years. I think 26.49% is "pretty likely" in my book.

Not at all caught in that fallacy at all, thanks. Rainman has addressed the effect of taking planned set of entries, and also that I mentioned a couple entering (where each person "wins" if their partner wins. Note that I did not say winning was certain, I said likely - and statistically, with...

The odds for OC are far higher than other regions - about 1 in 20. I'm the person that expresses the odds (for other regions) as 1 in 200 years or similar. I express it that way to make the point it isn't a plan. In OC region the odds are so much better that it almost could be a plan...

KCC (the visa office) tend to manage the VB in order to avoid that.

Yeah, I think OC region is the only one cheering. It will be interesting to see if SUVA takes interviews all the way to 1650 - which would probably mean about 70+ interviews.

Well that would be the expectation anyway. Fiji has massively increased its selectees so that it now has a 4:1 ratio against Australia, 10:1 against NZ and so on. So it is perfectly natural that more visas will go to Fiji this year, and all the embassy is doing is making sure they keep up with...

Actually I think Suva did interview some cases early. They either did the Moscow thing (marking cases 221g in advance of the interview for security checks) OR they interviewed early. For instance OC1008 is in 221g and was put in that status on Feb 26. There are others updated to 221g on Feb...

Wow - that's an amazing roller coaster ride!
