Oh dear, oh dear. STILL not "got it" have you.
Well - you are about to have more to complain about. I am publishing a CEAC file shortly, extracted today.
It shows KDU embassy have issued about 200 visas since the beginning of the month - which is pretty amazing given they were closed for the first week of the month.
It also shows a clear acceleration in cases being issued for Iranian cases. Iran have basically doubled their year to date issued number during the past 6 weeks. It does not mean AP in Iran is going faster (I have yet to prove or disprove that) but it shows that the cycle of AP closures (at whatever closure pace we find) is going to build, month to month. I believe Iran will take at least 2700 visas - possibly as high as 3000.
That is going to leave 1500 to 1700 visas for ROA. Up to now, ROA has been taking 118 visas per 1000, and that number is maturing (DS260 cases completing) - meaning it will probably end up at something around 130/1000 - probably a bit more.
That means it is now pretty much certain AS can't pass 13000. I haven't told anyone else in the world this news yet - but I immediately thought of you.
