Thank you Mom :)

Question about the DV fee. The travel site is being redesigned so I'm not able to check the requirements on the site. Should the DV fee for AOS be payable to DOS (Department of State). ? In addition to my full name, should I also include my 1st NL ? I would appreciate anyone's advice...

What a luck!

Thank you Simon, I also think there will be no Current this year. Finger-crossed

Is there a way to know the accumulative number of visas issued in DV 2013 during the months of August & September across all regions ? I see that Asia and Europe went current those two months and Africa did so for the month of September. The "Current" wording is still a big question mark to me...

I confirm what c1984 mentioned. When I found out I was selected for further processing , I made an info pass to my local FO. I had no idea back then that my CN was high. What the officer told me when he saw my number was that when the times comes and if my number becomes current they have to...

Time to practice patience and have faith DVLottery2014, great things are awaiting for you :)

Hi Simon and all (references in the paragraph below are for EU region) While I like to think that there is still hope for high CN'ers (having a high CN myself), I couldn't help by notice that for the past 4 DV's the total number of visas allocated to Europe are within the range of 16,083 -...

Thank you Simon for the quick reply and thank you Raevsky for the detailed answer. Would it be possible if you could help us and run the script once a month so we can monitor the "Ready" and "AP" statuses and how they fluctuate from month to month.

Does anyone know how often are the CEAC data updated. Just wanted to keep an eye on those instances marked as "Ready" & "AP" and see how they progress with time.

Yes I noticed that too, 145 AP cases in Russia, followed by Albania with 52 cases. Surprisingly Ukraine and Turkey have a lower AP rate compared to all the fraud talk we have heard.

Raduu, let's not lose hope but also try to get mentally prepared for every outcome. Based on the assumptions seems like the cut off for EU will be in the range you mentioned. But at the end of the day, no one knows. Everything will become cleared in the upcoming months.

Thank you for the explanation Simon. Considerin Sloner effect (missing data in CEAC for the first 3 months), again for: 2014 (accounting for Oct to Dec) --> there are 372 instances ,translated into 872 visas, marked as AP 2013 (accounting for Oct to April/May) --> there are 191 instances...

Quick question, Referring to the EU tab, seems like the 2014 CEAC data for Jan 2014 are more compared to the CEAC data for May 2013. (4062 instances for Jan 2014 v.s 3660 instances for May 2013) In addition, I couldn't help but notice that the rate of Refusal and AP is quite high for the 2014...

Interesting!, I must have missed the part that visa bulletin factor the number of responses KCC receives which are in turn entered in CEAC systems.

I really do hope that is the case but tracking through the past fiscal years, they progress with the same monthly cutoff (referencing here to DV 2010,DV 2011 and DV 2013). Even if the sequester was the cause for the low cutoff numbers delivered in January for all regions, February should...

Congrats Britsimon, welcome to the club of H1B'ers :)

Thank you Chino, One more question ( perhaps this has been asked several times before). Before the end of the FY associated with a DV, does one have to have the interview or have the actual Card before 9/30. What is the case?

Hello, Will someone be able to share with me the google doc link summarizing the DV 2013 AOS Timelines ?
