I received an e-mail telling me to check on dv website, so I went ahead and did so. And there was my letter :).

As far as your case goes, it is really hard to tell. I have heard that it might take up to two months for them to process. Try sending an e-mail to KCC to see if they have received your forms and what the status might be. Good Luck!

I've already email them and this was the information they gave me.

Due to the large volume of mail processed at KCC on a daily basis, confirmation of receiving your correspondence may not be feasible at this time. If you have submitted your forms, please allow two to four weeks after the mailing of your forms before inquiring about delivery confirmation. If you have not submitted your forms, please do so to ensure that your case can begin processing. Mail is processed in the order of the date received, thus the importance of submitting your forms in a timely manner.

Then, you will just need to wait. They might schedule your interview a month or two late, then again its my guess (might be sooner than that). I'd say shoot them another e-mail closer to the end of December. Btw, how did you mail it to them? did you ask for delivery confirmation?

Good luck FIRI!

Now I can't wait for next bulletin :)

I can't wait either...but somehow MUST wait! I loved the 32,000 for Africa...it has not happened before at this time...! Others are also moving pretty fast this year...could it be because they are using internet communication more than mail? I wonder?
Or is it true that they skipped the 22,000 numbers that won in May (including mine for then) and the July numbers are minus the skipped ones...anyhow, those numbers better keep surging!

Sorry I did not do all the places, but used the larger numbers as a guide.

I also read an article that the number of applicants for DV2013 reduced significantly with million less applicants...
Some 2012 winners decided not to process, I guess; plus the rumour that the May 1 numbers are not being used - all of which work very fine for me :)
Click to expand...

DV2013 has reduced primarily due to Bangladesh being ineligible.
This year’s Asia numbers are very high Africa to has more selections in the higher 50T+ so I think it’s normal to see the CN for Asia and Africa to move faster while the others move more or less as prior years. Fingers crossed anyway...

Good news is statistics are on our side as the quota of 50,000 Visas has almost never been consumed fully during the physical year. However this year we see a lot of after fact marriages etc and those are only going to add un to the 100,000 + selectees.
