I have spoken to KCC staff on numerous occasions. The staff I get have varying degrees of knowledge and varying degrees of "attitude". NONE of them would be able to give a satisfactory answer to the question you propose for a couple of reasons.
1. I doubt they know the process as well as we do (many are just contractors as you know).
2. They would be making the process look like a joke if the selectees were informed and then the staff undermine the results with their own predictions!
I may as well ask them if Santa Claus is real.

you did not understand me. ****ing translatorIf 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.
Sloner - have a read of this thread and check the link. Basically I have taken YOUR method and applied it to three years (2011 to 2013). I've explained why 2012 is a bad year to base your analysis on (as you have) but perhaps if you see the numbers it will make more sense to you. 2011 is the best year to use - and that shows a large oversubscription.

Well, we are slightly ahead of last year's bulletin, but seeing numbers so high (I mean, last year, SA went from 1500 to current in august, I think - And I have seen numbers up to 25** this year) makes me wonder if all of us have a chance of interview.
What about you? Where are you from?

Yes I agree, but I've seen some years where they have gone all the way up to 1800 so I'm hoping and praying that they do this year. I haven't really been following the statistical threads, I'm more or less just waiting with bated breath to see if I get the opportunity or not . I am from Trinidad and Tobago. We are neighbors

Well, I hope they go all the way up to 2500 this year so we all have a chance
. It'll be good if we become neighbors in USA too, don't you think? All of us in the land of opportunities.Good luck and let us know how everything is going.

Hi Audio! I haven't received the 2nd NL, but know somebody from this forum who already had his interview. They send you a mail inviting you to check your entry status (the place where you found out that you won!!!) and there you find out the information about your interview.
DEFINITELY not by Ipostel (you will get it by 2040 if so) just electronic mail and then electronic letter. And I think that's the way it works everywhere.
How are you doing, by the way? Are you as desperate as I am? If you want to get in touch (to help each other) send me a DM.
Good luck

Thank you, Veronice!
One thing less to worry about!!! yeah! Ipostel is awful! And yes... Venezuela is upside down right now... worst than ever, I've never seen this sadness and deception in every person no matter their political side... it's awesome and sad at the same time... is the union we wanted but at a very high cost.
In a way is good to have this high case-number, because right now we don't have international airlines and I hope in a very few months they will come back....
Thank you for your offering, same way here!

Yeah, well, I have this nightmare where I get the GC but can't get the hell out of here because there are no airlines and way out!!! I have to concede that is very hard to make the decision, you know, in your heart, that moment when you have to say: "Yeah, well, I did fight all this time because I had hope in my country and the people, but now that's lost..." And you decide that no matter what, leaving friends, family, beaches, everything is worth it because you have no life and are hopeless that things will change in the next 40 years...
This high number did give me two things: time to prepare myself to make the choice and the willing to leave all behind and start a new life in another country, no matter how hard can it be...
Write you a DM

Several of you already asked how you received your 2NL, I received an email telling me to check my status on the website. When I did it, there was a letter informing me the place and time of the appointment.
I wasn't expecting an actual letter but it arrived anyway. I'm from Chile, and my case is been process in Santiago.
Inside this letter there were instructions regarding all the documents including a check list.
They also send the forms for the doctor appointment.

- middle and high school certificates with official stamp from the ministry
-university certificates with official stamps from the ministry
-job offer or affidavit
-original birth, marriage and police certificates
- 4 pictures 5x5 cm
