If the same pattern which applied during 2010 would be repeated for 2011, here is what's to be expected*:
- You will be current on September 2011.
- By August 2011 these groups would be already current:
1105 Egyptians
1332 Ethiopians
1320 Nigerians
22861 other African nationalities
4304 Asians
30999 Europeans
1600 Oceanians
2001 South and Central Americans
which makes a total of 65522 DV winners that would have been given the chance to be issued a visa before September 2011.
- During September 37 DV winners from Ethiopia (which CNs range between 25625 and 26350) will be considered before considering any CN number from Asia: 28701 and above.
- During September 2272 DV winners from Asia (which CNs range between 28700 and 43999) will be considered before considering any 44000 CN and above from the same region.
A selected winner from Asia with a 44000 CN and above has to hope that there's still visas left after a total of 65522 + 37 + 2272 = 67831* DV winners have been considered.
So oh yeah it's a big shot to have a chance to be selected, knowing that there's a high rate of accepted applicants. So from the 67831, you have to hope that around 18000 will drop their applications before being granted a DV-Visa or in a less important ratio have been denied a Visa for not meeting the requirements.
*These calculations consider that every country DV winners have CNs randomly distributed between 1 and 100621 (100621 is the total of selected entries).

When you go to September Visa bulletin you will find not only September but also October. So in this Case B for September, C for October.
Since you are an Asian you concerned about Asian Region. So September is Current means, allocated visas for Asia on the 2010 fiscal year is OVER.
October is 9000 means upto CN 9000 will be interviewed on that month (2011 fiscal year)
Get it?

Hello,
I have a question to all, and it is very important for me. Thanks in advance for your answers. Hersi my question:
My case number is 20xxx. It will be current in January. I know that filing process at KCC takes 2-3 months. So, if I send the documents to KCC in December will I lose my green card chance, or will I get a delayed appointment only? CP will be in ANKARA.

If you want zero chance of getting a visa then wait September.
"All DV Program 2011 visas must be issued or adjustment of status completed by September 30, 2011 - without exception."
If an applicant is to be considered in the fistful and uncertain amount of remaining visas for September 2010 it's provided that the forms have been already processed before which means sent back at least 3 months before September.
When you call KCC they advice you to send back the requested forms ASAP, and I believe that's for good reason.
If you're worried on getting a visa appointment too soon, then it's better to ask on the local US consulate level to be rescheduled, rather than delaying to return the forms and make your chances of being issued a visa slimmer.
PS: You don't want to play again lottery, you can imagine your mail not being received, maybe missing info or returned invalid photos, so again you're better to be ahead of the curve.

What's the impact of that on what I calculated?... You're not hinting that some regions get only low CNs or have better CNs than others?
Before the above prediction, have you considered that each region (Asia, Africa...etc.) is issued CNs seperately?
During September 37 DV winners from Ethiopia (which CNs range between 25625 and 26350) will be considered before considering any CN number from Asia: 28701 and above.
Prior to accept (or not) your statement I want to get calrified what you mean from the above
I don't think there is a impact from Ethiopia to countries in Asia.
Because African and Asian regions are considered seperately in this game
(When African has a CN, AF00001 Asian too has a CN like AS00001)

"Rank Order Number: The number that Kentucky Consular Center gives to the entries of DV Program (lottery) as the computer selects them. The first entries chosen have the lowest numbers. The Visa Office of the Department of State gives winning entries a chance to apply for immigration according to their rank order number for their region."
During 2010 DV, 54003 entries from Africa have been selected (for 2011 DV it is 51004). Why then in the August bulletin for Africa the cutoff CN number is 64300?

Dear ALL,
I have a question to ask;
When we (myself and my wife) applied for the DV 2011,we had already used our new SURNAME(myself,as the principal winner;cos I rearranged my name,using my first name as my SURNAME) cos we new we would get married a month after the Dv Lottery application which we did by Gods grace;we did a change of name after the wedding.
My question now is,can I still use my former "Birth Certificate" dt carries my former Surname or I should obtain a new "Birth Certificate" with my new Surname?
Though,I have done an affidavit and newspaper publication for the change of Name.
Please assist!!!!!

54003 during the year 2010 is selected principal applicants (without family members). But cutoff No. of 64300 is aplicants with family members.
Anyway I am also wondering why the cutoff no in Africa is too low as 64300. Because in Asia, when selectees are 14999, cutoff no is high as 28700.
If anybody know the reason, thanks in advance
In my country we need to get a new birth certificate after name change (after 01 yr from the newspaper publication), which indicates former name and also the new name.Dear ALL,

Without that birth certificate we can not apply for a new passport with the new name.
But in your country it might be different

I'm the main applicant and my wife doesn't have any CN. I can assure you that there's no CN issued for other family members but the petitioner.
So for me still something doesn't add up ... between the cutoff and the real number of selected entries...
So far the only information I got to is:
"HOW WILL SUCCESSFUL ENTRANTS BE SELECTED?
At the KCC, all entries received from each region will be individually numbered. After the end of the registration period, a computer will randomly select entries from among all the entries received for each geographic region. Within each region, the first entry randomly selected will be the first case registered; the second entry selected the second registration, etc. All entries received during the registration period will have an equal chance of being selected within each region. When an entry has been selected, the entrant will be sent a notification letter by the KCC, which will provide visa application instructions. The KCC will continue to process the case until those selected to be visa applicants are instructed to appear for visa interviews at a U.S. consular office or until those qualifying to change status in the United States apply at a domestic USCIS office."

Additional to my previous posts:
HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS WILL BE SELECTED?
There are 50,000 DV visas available for DV-2011, but because it is likely that some of the first 50,000 persons who are selected will not qualify for visas or pursue their cases to visa issuance, more than 50,000 entries will be selected by the KCC to ensure that all of the available DV visas are issued. However, this also means that there will not be a sufficient number of visas for all those who are initially selected. All applicants who are selected will be informed promptly of their place on the list. Interviews for the DV-2011 program will begin in October 2010. The KCC will send appointment letters to selected applicants four to six weeks before the scheduled interviews with U.S. consular officers at overseas posts. Each month, visas will be issued to those applicants who are ready for issuance during that month, visa-number availability permitting. Once all of the 50,000 DV visas have been issued, the program will end. In principle, visa numbers could be finished before September 2011. Selected applicants who wish to receive visas must be prepared to act promptly on their cases. Random selection by the KCC computer as a selectee does not automatically guarantee that you will receive a visa. You must qualify for the visa as well.
HOW LONG DO APPLICANTS WHO ARE SELECTED REMAIN ENTITLED TO APPLY FOR VISAS IN THE DV CATEGORY?
Persons selected in the DV-2011 lottery are entitled to apply for visa issuance only during fiscal year 2011, from October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011. Applicants must obtain their visa or adjust status by the end of the fiscal year. There is no carry-over of DV benefits into the next year for persons who are selected but who do not obtain visas by September 30, 2010 (the end of the fiscal year.). Also, spouses and children who derive status from a DV-2011 registration can only obtain visas in the DV category between October 2010 and September 2011. Applicants who apply overseas will receive an appointment letter from the KCC four to six weeks before the scheduled appointment.
