It means PHP US embassy cannot cope with the DV interviews for Aug selectees in a month time. Possibility is that Asia might not even get 3800 increase like in Aug unless they decided to put PHP selectees into special cut off in Sept. Remember no visa can issue after 30th Sept.
Yes - from the information provided, PHP also seems to be backed up with a lot of older/lower case numbers which presumably will require capacity in September.
Schedule just seems to go until 07/24 or so, with very few cases listed after that date.
Hey guys hope you are fine. I am from Cambodia and my case number is 2014 AS16xxx ,Could I have a chance to have the interview based on above data ?
I think it is in the safe side. Do you have an idea if there is a cambodian facebook website or forum to get idea about the range of case numbers?
channy304, best wishes for September! Once you become current it will be critical to get through the process at the consulate, which possibly might get slightly tricky with the reported back up. I hope you will be successful on both counts.
I don't think kayend...PHP US embassy's incapability wouldn't reduce the Asian cut off but sometimes end of the sept some Cambodians wont get interview or embassy might cancel the last few interviews.
Thanks Skystar, I hope to get good news soon. I think good idea to have such useful forum about case number for dvlottery winner.
Thanks your wishes and I also wish all Asia number to be Current as well. However, I don't understand your statement ' slightly tricky with the reported back up' . I would appreciate if you could clarify this.
Iran pretty much maxed out in Aug. So this is no surprise.
No. 99% Asia will not go current in DV14 based on the latest movement. Except Nepal, all Asian countries has equal chances and selectees CN play a critical role.
If PHP is not in special cut off in Sept and yet the Rest of Asia CN increase by say 5000 and PHP selectees within this 5000 CN cannot fit into the remaining interviews slots in PHP then it will not increase by 5000, therefore it do impact the CN progress with US embassies capacity.
So, U r saying this time Cambodia will restrict the Asian cut off?
It is not the question of how many the US embassies can process, it is the question of how many more selectees needed from Asia to fulfill the Asia regional quota. And based on the data so far, it needs 1.5k to 2k selectees only. Even with 500 more selectees it can push up 2k CN. Remember every 1k CN it has 250 selectees. And it is still possible to go up to 18k if Nepal still stay at 9500 and the regional quota is higher than 9.4k.
Possible due to capacity issue.
Just to note this is definitely embassy / region specific - Kenya has done exactly the opposite, brought some August appointments into July (although telling people they cannot issue the visas before August as they need case numbers to be current to issue).
Exactly as I predicted...
