Have you taken into account the several thousands of visas from the EU/OC quota which will be allotted to AF, AS and SA regions?

No. That "should" happen, but I don't want to get people worked up about that - because I don't think we have ever seen it in practice. Further - perhaps I had misunderstood - but I thought it only applied to the low admission regions - i.e. would not help AS and SA - although I admit it has been a long time since I checked the wording.
 
Some old numbers. They might be slightly off because I revised the database in the meantime, but I think the conclusion that AS received EU visas is still valid. All regions went current in that year.

Thanks Roger - that certainly would be a lifeline to the other regions. Still the whole thing seems a bit bizarre - lthough maybe this was exactly what they were trying to achieve with the under selection in EU in particular.

No, it must be a mistake. Doing it on purpose would mean violating the law, wouldn't it?

I can't be certain. There was the odd thing that the 1NLs mentioned 84k selectees, then the numbers went out at 92k. Perhaps they expanded AS and AF regions. I'm not sure. I guess this year will give us some twists and turns.

I'm publishing the concept - with a dose of caution.

There have been a number of years where the two numbers have been different, and I think understanding why is one of the things about the DV process we just don't know,
