That is possible, but very rare.

The CEAC data is extracted, compiled and shared by Xarthisius, not me. He answered you already, but was too polite to correct you giving me the credit for his work. :-)

Not sure where I gave the idea you can pick any country to be interviewed. That's a "nope".

Well it's not "impossible" to go to 2500 - but here is my thinking explained. I'm not so much looking at the VB movement, as the quota and how it is filling in OC. OC has a quota of about 850. To take more than that is possible, but means taking unused quota from other regions (which is...

Mom is correct, disqualification is certain. You can see the country of chargeability on the 1NL (the "selected" letter).

SusieQQQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome!

"Other people online" - I'm just "other people" now????

Your number is high, but we don't know how many are selected yet. We will know more in July/August

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...
