http: //sudan.usembassy.gov/iv070815.html Copied from above: Immigrant Visa Processing in Sudan The U.S. Embassy in Khartoum is pleased to announce the resumption of Immigrant Visa processing in Sudan for the first time in nearly 20 years. Residents of Sudan have been required to travel to the...

Certain words evoke different emotions and meanings. Particularly this last week before final VB is revealed, senses and emotions are heighened (at least on my part). For members who are here to learn - some of the direct conversation on personal feelings/views (on the topic of faireness)...

To add a point, the last 2 months in AS usually have more no shows. This is observed in the both 2013 and 2014 data, so all else being equal, they would need a higher cut off than other months. We can also estimate the effect of DS260 with method available to us.

Probably. If they publish later, it's probably due to family and employment classes. Those calculation has far more exception and relation to non-numerically controlled programs, DV has just 1, NACARA. In my research, it seems they rely on 4 report(2 important) to make VB calculations. Also...

Can't say it any better. And to back that up, this is quote from multiple CRS reports: (NACARA) temporarily reduced the 55,000 annual ceiling by up to 5,000 annually to offset immigrant visa numbers for certain NACARA beneficiaries.3 As of now, the diversity visa ceiling is still set at 50,000...

Euro, you made a couple excellent points and I am sure you know it. The overall quota is increasing for DV as the years progress, since more and more NACARA returned visas become available. Naturally, they will increase the number of selectees to be on the safe side. It is probably too late for...

Thanks Sussie, in my pov, its a good discussion. Thanks for joining in. Enjoy your July 4th. If you are done at this point, you can ignore the following. For those who do: 1 question: Has it ever occur to you fair can be used for proper/kosher? As in fair chance? In original post: ...did...

To clarify the above, consider the actual issued and quota separately. Background (links and report in previous posts) We know only 3 groups of nationals are eligible to take from DV(55k) under sec 203 of NACARA. None are to taken from DV(55k) under sec 202 - previous post, note different...

Sussie, I can respect that you disagree. I must also point it out it is NEVER about fairness, probably sounds like a broken record now. All this discussion/calculation I have made is for me (others) to understand if the situation from last year re AF will/can happen to AS since they called a...

Let's PRETEND they want to for a second, you know they won't do illegal things right? Government workers want/like their jobs. They last thing they need is to act illegally and lose their job, agree? Not everyone can/will act illegally. I am sure you don't since you want for future chance to...

Because the law says so. Look, there must be some law you dislike in Indonesia right? Despite that, still going to follow them, right? No way around it unless you elect someone to change the law.

No problem Sensei, thanks for joining in. Yeah, it was quite an interesting but unfortunate misunderstanding discussion we had. Someday, I just wish to visit you beautiful and warm land of smile.

You have a good point. For smaller country like mine, it all depends on the rank order which is random. However, it has quite an impact to a region as a whole.Particularly those region which get more than 3500 visa like AF,EU, and AS

I cannot agree with your language or hatefulness against Nepal, the law(INA) has been in place for years. I have no reason to believe they were favoring any country. Like I said, no point to be hateful or angry. It won't change anything.As least through these discussion, we understand more...

I agree. Observation from Table 7 'Immigrant Number Use for Visa Issuances and Adjustments of Status in the Diversity Immigrant Category' - Other than 2012, DV visa issued exceed 50k since 2010.

What can I say, the rule is the rule. We cannot change it. We are just trying to understand it from different angles Which I must add the fact: Nepal cannot take more than 7% country max, but they will NOT be excluded in the near future unless the rule or their immigrrant visa shoots past 50k...

Totally agreed, 19665 visas (plus AOS) is no where close to 50000. I hope this is helpful to Nepalese winner down the road.

Correction - I was wrong about the 202/3 classes in the above. This is not the INA, instead it is sec 202/3 of NACARA. The sec 203 of NACARA is non-numerically controlled in itself as Simon suggested, however, it has an impact on an numerically controlled program (DV) It is my understanding...

Actually I read it some time ago, but I just read it again to refresh my memory. Like you had suggested in the other post, i looked for the link about the program (for those who are interested) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicaraguan_Adjustment_and_Central_American_Relief_Act Quote from the...

202 refers to employment base. 203 refers to diversity visa. The program NACARA is complicated. But as far as I understand, NACARA gets up to 5000 visas from employment since 2002, and up to 5000 from diversity since DV99. It's definitely not a couple hundred like you said. The lowest was...
