What you are saying is that from Jan until Aug the progress only increase less than 200 case numbers per month and Sept going to go current? Where you get this info? Do you know one month cannot allocate 10% of visa for that region. So current with the last numbers of 4000 is impossible. I don't know what you are trying to say here. It completely doesn't make sense at all.

Is there a chance that the next bulletins will have better figures than this? I am not happy with this bulletin, at all!!! Not happy with the cutoff for Africa. I thought they would at least go beyond 22,000!!!! Do I really stand a chance to be current in Feb/March?
What do my dear forum members think?

I think Feb and March will see good progress on numbers - so yes, March is still possible...

I'm sure not. It says 140K have been notified.

Yeah I hear you, BUT there are contradictory statements from DOS/USCIS on that matter. In the end, it doesn't matter much - we know that the 50k DOES include family members, so that is the bar we are trying to meet...

Hello friends, what u meant by country limit to Iran after 3000 CN in asia? that means after next month

May be Iran should be kept on special limit as most of Iranian case numbers falls under 10k.If Iran isnot kept on limit then Asian number still cannot jump as we are expecting!

Yes, that right. If Iranian take up a lot of case numbers between 3000 to 10000 and if it does not have a special cut off for them, logistically it cannot cope with all the interviews just from one country therefore it become a bottleneck to others. So if certain country have high selectees it will have a special cut off for them to make sure no one country become bottleneck to the whole region.

That means after the CN3000, they are not going to Iranians or will they interview Iranians time by time through out the total CN (27k) of Asia?? Also do you think that will they impose a special cut off to Sri Lanka also?

Normally, why they have a special cut off is because the number of available appointments slot fill-up cannot fulfill the allocated interviews for that month. For example, Feb has 800 visa allocated for Asia region and based on the running case # from 3000, it can only fulfill 400 visa interviews with the existing capacity of the embassies that can process Iranian visa. So, other Iranian selectees that slightly above 3400 CN # (assuming no holes for the sake of simplicity) have to wait for next month. At the mean time even other country CN # is higher then those Iranian CN # after 3400, it will goes to Feb cut off when special cut off is in placed.

For Illustration Purpose
---------------------------

Assume it can only process 800 visa for Asia

3000-3798 Iran
3799 Nepal
3800 Iran
3801 Sri Lanka

The 3800 Iranian will not get his/her interview but 3801 will.

Iran is a bit special because it has 3-4 embassies processing their visas. So, it has more capacity than Nepal (for example) but of course which embassies process which visa it depends on the selectee application.

If I understand you correctly, you are asking can you go to US and get your interview done there because you afraid of getting AP with high CN # in. Egypt.

The answer is no. You can only go for AOS when you are in physically in US. Even you go for AOS it will not help to speed thing up. It even slow thing down because AOS generally take longer time. In either case you still need to wait for your number to get current. If you go for CP and put you into AP, I think you go for AOS will still put you on AP. Anyway, you do not have an option for to go for AOS.

This is correct and has already been answered in another thread. You cannot enter on a visitor visa with the intent of doing AOS.

CP = consular processing - i.e. processing a visa at a consulate outside of the USA

AP = Administrative Processing - that is when the visa is not granted or denied during the interview, but rather there is a period of time whilst checks are carried out or missing documents are provided. AP is more common in some countries where the US perceives a higher terror threat or has a difficult time verifying or trusting certain documents.

Traveling doesn't get you AP automatically - there is no way to predict it.

Ranon, this is a long race, and a test of your ability to relax and be patient. You are worrying yourself sick and trying to think things through way too much - just relax, calm down and keep your hopes up. Save your energy man!

The last time you applied for a US visa, were you put on AP?
