Just a word of warning. The global quota is like a cakel. There is one cake and it can be divided into lots of pieces. Sloner is promising all regions that they can have more cake. The problem is, there is still only the one cake so not everyone can have extra slices....

No. Each put a piece of cake. European or African has no right to take it. Remember, conducted six separate lotteries.

No Sloner it is ONE GLOBAL QUOTA of 55,000 (with up to 5,000 reserved for NACARA). Increasing a regional quota for one region means decreasing for another. You are telling people from all regions that their quota is increased - so where does that all come from?

For each region, calculates quota accountant every year. 1+2+5+1+3=12 By law, you can not take visa in the region.
If SA received visas in 1000. She and receive 1000.

OKAY but let's say they want to change one of those regions - they only have "12" in you example so they could do this - 1+3+4+1+3=12

By the way, the law DOES allow for unused quota from one region to be used by another region. Again - it is ONE POT.

Sloner ; they selected more than 40k extra this year !
There will be no cake for every one :(
Specialy for region like europe where the failure rate is very low !?!!

So first you say it is impossible - and then you say it is possible for odd visa. So - which is it? Impossible or Possible? (I'll give you a clue - the law allows it).

Now, what I was really tring to say is that there is 55,000 visas. So just with round numbers, if OC is to have a quota of 1,000, then the rest of the world would share the 54,000 - correct? So if they now give OC 2,000 the rest of the world gets 53,000 - right???

So - you are telling people that OC will get more, in the SA thread you are saying they will get more. In EU threads you have said EU will get more and you have even said that AF 116,000 is safe (i.e. which means AF would get more). In AS threads you have answered people that the cutoff will be over 20k - and guess what, that means you are telling AS folks they will also get more. I haven't see you comment on NA region - but given that they only have 23 selectees, it doesn't much matter. So, Santa Claus Sloner. Everyone gets a visa and all regions get more than previous years.

I mean - I love a bit of optimism, but giving people false hope without being backed up by the facts just seems cruel to me.

Sloner; simon is logic if there is only 55k visa available they will be no quotas increased ! It can happen if they decrease from af to give to eu may be. but not an increase out of no where !
Be realistic ?
 
IMO thing can go crasy and might happend that region will all go current (which I strongly doubt) ! Due to non followers ! And high failures ! But there will be no visas for everybody. And no special quota increase....

you did not understand me. ****ing translator :mad: If the region remain extra visa.
Planned in 1000, issued 995. 5 will go to another region.
South America is projected to get my visa 1800-2000. Oceania 1000-1200 visas. Proportional to the number of winners.

Consider: 20 + 20 + 10 + 2.8 = 52800. I do not see the excess of the quota.

Simon , i came to conclusion , that most of people with higher cases , they just need someone who give them hope , and they are absolutely careless , who an how will give them that hope...
people often choose sweet lie instead of sour truth...
personally i don't take seriously all this calculations about min. or max. numbers which are guaranteed for interview ,because only visa office knows why they selected more then usually applicants , and how they are going to distribute visas between regions ...
The best thing in my guess is , just live as you did and wait for updates , time will show everything for sure

Yep I agree 100% that most people need to hang on to hope - and many in the risky range should do exactly that - because who knows what could happen. I would be the happiest guy in the world if everyone could get visas and we all meet up for a giant party - but sadly, those things won't happen!
