Thank you for taking the time to explain! Best of luck to all DV selectees , and particularly the Nepalese people affected by this crisis.

Excuse me, sir. I'd love to better understand your opinion on this: Do you think Asia as a whole will be allowed to progress (and maybe eventually see higher AS cutoffs) since Kathmandu embassy currently has other priorities, or do you think the progress for the entire region will be held up...

Thank you, sir. Very informative!

Thank you, sir, for sharing the news. But in your opinion, can KCC afford to stop Asia's progress so close to the end of the fiscal year? With only 3 VB's left and no time to compensate later, I guess AS would never fill its quota if that happened. I'd be very appreciative to hear your opinion...

Any hope of Nepal being limited next VB?

I think Darepit means the cleared Iranians AP in US Embassy Ankara. I have been monitoring the site for a couple of days, and today 67 CNs that were on AP were approved, bringing to a total of 85 cleared Iranian AP in Ankara.

:eek::eek::eek::eek: OMG, We were barely handling Nepal, now we have more of Iran to worry about. Please KCC, leave some visas for ROA, this is hardly called "diversity" anymore..

I'm sorry, just to recap, the barrier of math is standing between us :cool:o_O:p, basically what you mean is: in worst case scenario Asia's final cutoff will be 12152, assuming that ROA is left with 2500 visas and that it could be higher if the response rate is lower?

Yes that's right! My CN is in the high 9000's, almost 10,000. I'm keeping my hope for an August interview :)

I really hope so, but since this is KCC, it's highly unlikely.

Thanks for clarifying, I have two questions that just crossed my mind: 1. When KCC has to determine the last couple of VBs, do they take into account that a certain percentage of Iranian applicants will go to AP, so as to allow more interviews for ROA? 2. Do we know anything about the density...

Now this is not based on calculations or information or anything, it's just a feeling I have: I don't think KCC will like to leave the big Asia jump and a big portion of interviews until September. I mean last year (DV2014), most of the visas were issued by August and the September cutoff was...

Yeah and I remember you saying it in the beginning of DV-2015. I don't mean any disrespect, I was just trying to voice my frustration. :(

We really need a special cutoff for Nepal, this is getting outrageous! :(:(:eek::eek:

I'm sure Simon can explain to you how people from these countries form the bulk of Asian applicants, and that they have a much lower chance of being selected. But personally, I understand your frustration (we're on the same boat). At the end of the day, they are the ones getting most of the visas..

Thank you, DV4ROGER! Much appreciated!

Hi! Can we know how many people from a certain country adjusted their status in the US in DV-2014? I just saw the annual data for FY 2014 and these included both AoS and CP, right?

Thank you @Britsimon for your amazing work!! Based on these numbers, can you provide an estimated final cutoff for regions, Asia in particular? Cheers!

Please, when do you think my interview will be? AS108** not from nepal or iran Thanks :)

I see, thank you. I'm worried about my chances especially after the slow VB progress of Asia (CN in high 9k), I was hoping Nigeria would add some visas.
