Yeap the fiscal year 2014 is now history...if @Britsimon can generate some CEAC data in the next couple of days we can analyze and determine a couple of issues. Generally DV2014 had a higher response rate than the last couple of DV's...my hope for DV2015 is that it is also not over subscribed. With Nigeria not in the picture and the introduction of online forms, I am certain these 2 factors could determine how it trends.

The final data is here Jonge http://forums.immigration.com/threads/final-dv2014-ceac-data.322799/

Sadly DV2015 is oversubscribed also. There is a 15k reduction is selectees, but Nigeria accounts for 6k of those and the reduction in country selection cap from 6k to 5k accounts for the rest.

Nigeria visas (around 3k) will be re-allocated so that will help, but at the same time Nigeria created a lot of holes, so the density of cases will be higher - therefore I doubt AF numbers can go much higher than DV2014....

Ours all arrived at the same time. (Each in its own envelope though.) Give it a day or so and if it hasn't arrived, go ask why.

Junior6 congratulations and all the best with the relocation. According to the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 9 FAM 42.73
PROCEDURAL NOTES section 9 FAM 42.73 PN2.1 Annotating the Immigrant Visa sub-section (c),
"Because a beneficiary may not precede the principal applicant in entering the United States, indicate if the applicant is a beneficiary accompanying or
following to join the principal applicant. You should use the IVO drop-down annotation: “Valid only if Acc/FTJ Father/Mother/Spouse.”

In other words, the beneficiaries can not travel to the US before the principal applicant. They can either travel with or after the principal applicant has done so.

I hope this helps.

Today I tell the world that DREAMS ARE VALID IF YOU BELIEVE​

I entered DV2006 got notified messed with dependents ie not including existing dependent went thru medicals attended interview and got denied coz of incomplete application.

Determined me after losing all that cash tried the following year entered and wasn’t selected.

Dv2013 got selected again and sent in my documents to Kentucky and the Black Monday 13th May came in and the selection was cancelled coz it selected only those who applied early, an appeal was done on pro bono basis by a lawyer in US and kept praying that it would help the 22,000 selectees notified continue with the process unlucky me and the rest the judge stuck with DOS.

I gave up and feeling bitter told my wife that I had given up on my dream to relocate to US and she told me GODS TIME IS THE BEST and when u want to give up that’s the time God can do miracles well a re-Run was done for DV2013 and we were unlucky and after the encouragement from wife I took my laptop did another application for DV2014 and prayed to God for his will to be done

Luckily when the results came in was busy with my studies and one lazy Sun remembered had applied n checked the results and dint believe my eyes got selected, I remember sweating at night not believing ma eyes and did a call to my wife who was out of town and words could not come from my mouth…..she asked me severally what was wrong and after a deep breath told her we got selected again.

I am happy to say that the process went on smoothly though expensive but we managed to get the Visas and will be relocating to US this Oct and mine to forum mates is that never give up and God has good plans for everyone and never give up in trying.

Hope to meet some or most DV2014 team green in the US during Xmass holiday and thank you all the Admins and all forum mates. God will never forsake us.


Regards

Banangeh

Sammie I edited your post - first because it isn't great to publish someone elses phone number on an internet forum, and second the nature of the "service" that is being suggested may be advertising/risky - although personal referral is a good thing. So we appreciate the community spirit you display - we just have to be a bit careful. I have left the other contact details for now - Mom may have a different view.
