172 from other countries
How do you distinguish that 172 belong to iran in the other countries ? Thanks
409 CN from Nepal between 4325-5350
Well, Nepal still having 40% of the selectees in this range. So, it might be the same from 5k to 9k. If this pattern continue, Nepal might hit the limit very soon. If we roughly calculate, Nepal have 2k selectees interviews scheduled up to 5350 CN. Based on this data, I foresee no special cut off in May cut off and Asia CN increment will be roughly the same as Apr cut off.
The concentration of selectees within the early numbers for Iran and Nepal will continue until their selectee limits are reached - it is an effect of the huge volume of entries of those two countries.
Generally we classified CN interviews scheduled in ABD, ANK and YRV as Iran and some Iranian or Nepalese might have their interviews in other embassies but we have not way to differentiate it because in CEAC it didn't have the foreign chargeability stated.
Anyway, it will not be much different because ABD chargeabilities is very small compare to Iranian.
172 from other countries
One question still remain unanswered. Both Iran and Nepal have 6k+ selectees but why Iran do not have much selectees above 9k whereas Nepal still have a lot of selectees in 13k CN range? Unless the take up rate from Iran is lesser then Nepal. If we looked at DV13 statistics, Nepal and Iran have almost the same number of applicants. Iran has slightly more applicants than Nepal but so far the selectees early CN is about 40% for each country. So, the only explanation that I can think of is that Iran do has more selectees in the early CN than Nepal but just that the take rate up is lower than Nepal.
this might give a sense that Nepali cases are less denser now onward while iran has same density..
With your updated prediction kayend... I am out of league Mine Cn 11XXX Nepal.
AS 20xxx sri lanka
