DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

The August Bulletin for DV-2014 has been published. No higher Case Numbers than 40 150 for EU in september (same as August)! Why such a short cut-off? And will it be the same for DV-2015? I'm disappointed...
 
excuse me i wan to know something.in the previous text it was said that this august VB will cover thte visa bulletin of september and october too.And those who will be interviewing in october will get ther notification in august.but i dont know how to check the VB.i didnt found for october 2015
 
no when will the VB for the fiscal year 2015 for the month of october will be released.this was my question.

You're getting confused, I think, between the August visa bulletin - which is released in July - and the September visa bulletin - which is released in August. The October numbers will be released in the September visa bulletin which is released during the month of August...

I've just said that for the DV-2014 winners, the cut-off for EU was very low: 40 150 in august and the same in september. For october it will be the winners of DV-2015, from the start. But if we make a projection from cut-off CS of DV-2014 on DV-2015, it is not encouraging for the big CS like my spouse's: DV-2015EU434xx. But earlier Britsimon and other kind volunteers seemed to say that the chances will be better in 2015, for EU at least, so every hope isn't broken.
 
Hi all

I come to the following question

Provide the following information on all educational institutions at a secondary level or above you have attended.

I have university Degree , Should I list the secondary school or it is enough to mention the university only.

It says: "all educational institutions at a secondary level or above". It's very clear you need to list both.
 
it seems that Egypt is not progressing with the cut-off ! i am not sure if i should be worried for my CN 2015AF 26XXX, shouldn't i ?
for the current bulletin, it seems fine, but scary !
 
Hi all!

My CN is EU381xx for DV 2015. What do you guys think based on the results of dv 2014 bulletin?

Thanks.

Thanks.
Thats a safe number if you are from Africa not Egpty of coz....It should go current around May or June next year so its a game of patience coz the wait is still long.
 
But, guys, I am guessing that DV 2015 will cut off at 36xxx (September cut-off) and finish the year. What do you guys think?
 
Hmmn! It's weird they asked you to go ahead and still fill out the DS form for him. In that case, put yes and put his DOB has the day he visited the US. I hope you guys got his US passport when he was born and it's not yet expired?
Hi mom, what if its expired ? Will be there a problem?
 
Hi all and thanks for your priceless help on this forum!

I have read the thread so far and I need your advice on my case.

I am lucky enough to have a CN around 2015EU 11xxx. So, as far as I have understood, once I complete the online DS-260 form, I have to wait until KCC notifies me (would that be mail or email?) that an interview has been scheduled at the selected US Embassy. Based on my CN, I estimate that the interview will take place in either November or December 2014. Once I present all the required documents/evidence/medical examination, the Embassy processes my petition and they mail back my passport with an issued visa! From the day of issue, I will have six months to migrate to the States, so, probably, I have to enter the US by May or June 2015.

That's brilliant! But... I need to postpone my arrival to the States until September 2015, because of work commitments back in my country. Is this possible?

One possible solution would be not to fill and post the DS-260 until March or April 2015, which will give me the extra months. Is this possible or I have to stick to the Visa Bulletins that are published every month? Is there any underlying risk of this approach?

Thanks

Your two options are:
(1) delay submission of DS260 by a few months, as you said. With a relatively low number I don't think there are too many risks to this approach (the main risk would be running out of time) or
(2) do everything at the earlier time, enter the US for a short period of time (a week, a few days, whatever) using your visa - this will activate your green card ie you will then become an LPR - go back, finish your work commitments, and then make the move for good. Once you activate, you have up to a year to make the move permanent.
