Preparing for my interview on Monday. This forum has been quite helpful. I have been inspired by so many of you and I hope that I will be in your prayers in Jesus name!

We don't know exactly, USCIS publish the number with derivatives. We will only know the breakdown later when we look at CEAC data.

Do you know what the average ratio has been in the past? (I know the data is there on the DoS site... But I'm too lazy to go work out out for myself :p)

Easiest way is from the CEAC data for 2013. That shows 1:1 for the world 33k cases 66k total family), each region varies from that a little, and some countries vary a lot (like Ghana). AF is slightly higher than 1:1.

Smaller ratio than I thought. Ok so for 140k selectees we are looking at approx 70k total case numbers then?

If 140,000 include derivatives,what figure is the actual principal applicant from the 140k?

Exactly wat i was just thinking Samolanyi because we have people with CN above 120k which we know only selectees are assigned CN and how come we have 140k derivatives inclusive ? it does not sound convincing based on the information that 140k were selected. If the 140k includes derivatives then derivatives have CN different from the principale winner? Take for example a principal winner who has a family of 6 that is 5 derivatives; when u see their case on the CEAC website if it is visa granted they all have thesame CN except the numbers they assigned to them as 1 for principal applicant 2 for the second and so forth.
My point of view

Cristabel - all of what you are talking about has been described many, many times - and isn't theoretical it is fact.

1. There are 140k selectees including family.
2. Roughly speaking there are an average of one family member for every selectee (so only around 70k principals globally).
3. Yes only the pricipal gets the case number.
4. The case numbers are within each region - so AF and EU might both have a case number 100.
5. The reason that case numbers go so high is because there are holes in the cases - these holes are created from cases that were disqualified before any of us were notified.
6. AF region has 62000 selectees (including family) spread over around 120k case numbers - so approximately 32k real cases and 90k holes.

You will see that 21750 cutoff for AF has only about 6000 cns and 6000 cns has about 12000 selectees including derivaties.
I argued with simon before that 140660 doesnt include the derivatives and he didnt only convice me ! He proved it :)
 
It seems most of us knows little about cut off and derivatives and distribution of visas to the regions, but I would encourage yu guys to get most of the answers from EU forums where by we have good experts like vladek, britsimon, Susie QQQ and others I would say I have come to learn alot to many of the issues that were bothering me so Christabel ,arnold and other forumates I will encourage yu the same and yu gonn prove me right guys. for those facing CO nxt week the visas belong to yu and may God be with yu .

well lets not be disappointed by VB, lets hope for the best as i know everyone will get their chance to face CO, they can make big jump in next VB, and CHRISTABEL should not be worried as 81k will definitely get their chance according to history of DV, yeah 99k seem tough because i have never seen anyone with 99k CN getting interview, but still i know i am going to get chance to face CO, if God have chosen me amongst selectees then its his DUTY to make sure that i go through it and achieve my goal, lets pray and hope for the best
