DV 2016 Winners Meet Here

thanks for answering dude... I am wondering how does revieling a digit will help you!!? do you have access on a database or you just follow calculations by your own? o_O my case number 11xxx and thats not high if you consider 80xxx were selected! correct me if I m wrong please
There is database for 2015. The one for 2016 will probably be available in Jan 2016.
So far 11xxx would be the highest AS CN that I have heard of. In 2015 the asian highest CN is 19xxx.
It would be helpful for you to know the highest case number in Asia, so that you would have at least some information on where you fall in the line of asian selectees (though the density of cases for Asia is known to be front-loaded).

For Asia, in 2016 they selected 15,000 people as opposed to 20,000 in 2015. There are less CNs than people, because one CN may include family members (we do not know the number of 2016 CNs). In 2015, on average one CN represented 1.74 people (but people get married, having babies, so initial 20,000 number grows, CNs number remains constant; thus the actual ratio is now 1.9).
The visa quota for the region would probably be up to 8,500. For different reasons many people will not follow through with the DV.

In the abcense of other information, the fact that they selected 25% less people makes highest 2016 CNs feel better, than highest 2015 CNs.

HI San !!!
Please forgive me if I ask you strange question . I am Selectee of DV2016 case number AS00010xxx , I just wonder why visa bulletin in ASIAN history in year 2010,2011,2012 beginning with 7000 and from DV2013 ,2014,2015 they start the visa bulletin with just 1800 ? Anyway I read on other forum , one selectee from Nepal friend has case number 2016AS00045000. I just suspect why he has highest number than me a lot... Thank you and forgive me ! Good luck to you, is it possible that ASIAN region has the 45000 case number in DV2016 ?

In the years before there was Bangladesh with a lot of selectees and disqualifications in the selection process, so the CN range was much wider. They assign CNs first, and then sift out non-qualifying cases. Thus, the actual CNs count is less than highest CN number.

45000 is impossible for Asia. He probably meant 4500. They cut Nepal of in the selection process at 3,800 people this year (5000 for 2015). So, if there is similar density, their CNs will be even lower than 9100 of this year.
 
Very thank you San for the Reply with helpful information !!
So do you think My case 2016AS108xx is very risky right ?? Ok at least I understand a lot from you !!!God Bless You !!! I need Miracle for my case number in my DV2016.

Thank you for good words.
I need quite a bigger miracle to make it this year.
I would not call it "very". Think of it as you have a fair chance. It is good that you realize early that nothing is guaranteed.
We do not know yet a lot of things about 2016, more information will become available later.

OK thank you San ! Let me ask you one more question about DV2015, my aunt from Cambodia is selected in DV2015 with case number 2015AS0000535x and will get interviewed this month on 25 June 2015 , what I worry about Her is that. She registered DV alone without mentioning her husband and her Daugther age 20 . But she still get second letter for interview .Does she have high risk of disqualification during the VISA Interview with OC ? What should we prepare for something worse may happen?
Thank for all the work you help me and everyone !

Not listing a spouse or child under 21 will be a disqualifying factor. The rules, both on the entry form and in the dvselectee website linked from the notification letter, make this clear. She will just be wasting her time and money if she goes for the interview.

HI Susie ! My aunt doesn't inlucde Her husband and daughter in the entry form but she add her husband and daughter information in the family section of DS-260 Form.what should we do ? But still the KCC still send second letter and get interview on 25 June 2015 this month.. Will OC check her document and in some way she can get VISA alone or she may get disqualification during the interview ?

Ok so, kcc cannot and does not take any decisions as to who can and cannot get a visa. Only a consular officer can decide. If someone submits a DS260, they will get an interview. No, she cannot get a visa alone. She will be disqualified. There is no leeway around this. And she should have realized this if she read the link from the notification letter. Such a shame she didn't follow the instructions on the entry form.

Important note: If you had a spouse or children prior to submitting your original entry, but you did not include them on your original entry form, then your case will be disqualified at the time of your visa interview. Neither you nor any of your family members will receive visas. For more information, see the DV Instructions.
 
Thank you Susie !
I already tell my aunt about this problem and let say, it's the only chance for her is to pay 330$ for interview fee and let pray God for her on upcoming interview on 25 June and hope chance is still on her side .
Thank you for everything ,Susie sand thank everyone in the forum that always help each other .
good luck to yon and your family !

KCC only checks if the form is complete, and invites people to interview even if there are inconsistencies between eDV and DS-260. They are supposed to flag inconsistencies. And it is up to an applicant to work out inconsistencies with supporting documents at the interview.
Is she officially married, is that her biological daughter?
Unfortunately, instructions specifically mention that not including existing derivatives will lead to disqualification.
It is up to your aunt, whether to decide to proceed and spend the money, knowing that she is in obvious violation of the instructions.

330 fee is for each family member that comes to interview. So if there 3 members, the fee is 990. Plus medicals for each member. I would imagine that those could be under 100 USD for each in Cambodia (there may be extra charges for missing vaccinations). I do not know whether she did the medicals already.

Hi San !
Yes she is officially married and the girl is her biological daughter .during the time she submit entry form,she depend on someone to fill the entry form for her and someone forget to include her husband and daughter .we really regret for my aunt but we have no choice , we only have last chance for her, she wants to get interview and we may need luck for her.
Thank you San !
 
Tell your aunt to think again. The venerable experts in this forum have heard of hundreds of similar cases, where the COs deny right off the bet.
 
Your aunt needs the biggest miracle of us all.
Yes San! She and her husband and daughter already made medical check and they are ready for the interview but we don know she will get interview alone or 3 of them will go into interview together because my aunt has only one case number of her own.for her husband and daughter they don have case number cos no entry listing ,will embassy tell them to pay interview fee together and join the 3 interview ? So interview member is according to each case numbers or depending on the reference of the family?
I imagine that it's risky for them and also waste much money if they get disqualifica during visa interview .
Thank you San !

Ok well, there have been plenty of examples here where prayer does not help when something is a clear disqualification but I suppose if she wants to pay the fee to be told that, it is her decision.

It makes no difference if one or all of them are allowed in. The case will be disqualified.

Thank You San and Susie for everything ! I know they are gonna fail too but I have no choice ,it's her decision that my aunt want to get interview . Prayer doesn't help ,it's meaningfull word for me as for my aunt.

Love you both Susie and San .
Respect both of you
