DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

gitma said:
Britisimon, I don't know whether I have the facts right but by 2/2/2014 AF was at 4541 visas issued. If that is correct and given that by
mid this month or 10/2/2015 to be precise AF was slightly below 4k, does this imply that this fiscal year we are moving at a slower pace. What do you think are the factors in play and do we stand to see any improvement. I suppose may be it could be the DV fiasco (are we confirming low response late), the DS 260 FORM introduction or Ebola etc. You understand this process better, also please give us comparisons between DV 2014 and DV 2015 in terms the visa issuance thanks in advance.

I believe Ebola is a factor Liberia for example has only issue 14 visa as of the 10 th of February 2014 due to lack of medical report to deside other cases winners had to get medical report out of the country whichwas expensive for many, where as last year same time Liberia had more than 14 visa.

As much as you have received 2NL, I don't think it will cause any problem. They may not update it closely. Other guys who are scheduled for March may help you by telling what their status is.
But, one thing I want to remind you is - about AoS. I've seen two cases in this forum who were asked to present affidavit of support at Abu Dhabi embassy. I think the embassy in Abu Dhabi is strict about AoS or any financial proof. What is your plan?

I have never grasped the concept why the DS 260 form processing takes 4 - 5 months at KCC. Britisimon please enlighten me on this.Where exactly are
they processing these forms and what are they looking for, I believe this can even take less than 1 months, it remains a mystery why it takes that long, I don't know, please shed some light.

There have been suggestions that they may be doing enhanced checking since the introduction of the DS260, but that is only speculation. Other than that, the change in process itself seems to have caused the chaos.

It is slightly slow, but last year started slow too. You can expect to see an increase in pace so we will see around 5000 visas being issued per month.

The other forum I post in has similar reports, it does appear Abu Dhabi is one of the stricter ones in asking for proof.

I very much doubt the numbers will go to AF40XXX for May - the last VB has 30700 for April, so AF40XXX will be June at the earliest.

Thx for your reply
Actually I want to show my bank account and as far as I know if it's over the poverty line of USA is acceptable
In our Persian forum most people have done so without any problem

Hi,
My friend wrote that she has master degree on the dv entry form but on her ds 260 she wrote that only the thesis is not completed yet. Is this a problem since she is planning to finish her thesis before the interview? Thank you
 
Hi Guys,
I know that my interview will be in april (called the KCC) but I don't have the exact date yet. Is it fine to make the medical tomorrow? I have already scheduled it because I won't have the time in march to do it
