Greetings Moderators
I am current for February interview and I have one question about a laminated grade 10 national Ethiopian certificate which will need authentication. I have heard some one printed out a new certificate from the ministry of education because the authentication Can't be stamped on a laminated certificate. So at the time of interview he has been put on AP for that new certificate. I am afraid I will get the same fate. Any input on this matter Sir

There is an overall quota, with each region having a quota. Last year (which was DV2015), the AS region quota was stopped at 7650 because they believed they would have enough selectees to reach the quota. AS region in DV2016 (this year) will also be stopped early like that, but we don't know exactly when. Obviously your number must be considered in a risky range, but as I explained in the PM, no one can tell you for certain - and we won't be certain until mid July.

Hello dears
I have also a concern, my name i let’s say Lorens Smith in all my documents my names are as above entered edv with these names and Ds260 too had the correct names but my question is in my high school diploma my names reversed it is Smith Lorens, what can i do about it though there is my passport picture printed on it and date of birth is correct? I qualify under education as high school diploma. My interview will be in Johannesburg.

I don't think it will create any problem cos it's still your name they haven't changed
 
moving to the USA is what most selectees are craving for but seeing at what happens with slow vb movement its really making me sick. 55### being my number seriously makes me feel like omg will i really make it? am totally nervous

Hello to all experts, my younger brother has violated the nambian immigration by presenting himself as originated from Angola because there was war in Angola and tried to find refuge easily, but his father is originated of Mozambique nd his mother from Angola but his birth certificate shows he is originated from Mozambique and has no documentation from angola eventhough his mom is from Angola.
Now in edv entry he entered as Mozambican as from place of birth and country of origin, but the point is his name was misspelled while applying for the refugee protection in Namibia due to phonetic pronunciation, he lived with that documents for sometimes.
Question 1.can he unlock Ds260 and add it in his Ds260 where says have you evr used other names....
2. Can he also add wher it says othe nationality used? If yes how to pove because has no documentation to prove it
3,will he be refused dv visa for that situation? HE IS A DERIVATIVE

It makes no difference if you are single, dual, triple nationality. All they care about is your birth country.
 
TOTAL - 90393

AF - 45017 (49.8%) --> 50000*49.8%=24900
AS - 15002 (16.6%) ---> 50000*16.6%=8300
EU - 25858 (28.6%) -->50000*28.6%=14300
NA - 16 (0.02%) -->50000*0.02%= 0
OC - 1500 (1.66%) -->50000*1.66%=830
SA - 3000 (3.32%) -->50000*3.32%=1660

24900+8300+14300+0+830+1660=49990 (NEARLY 50000 GREEN CARDS)

so what are the predictions?

The regions are allocated a quota, and not in the split that your seems to be suggesting. So - OC and EU for instance will go current, while AS and AF will not.

May be im new to this process,only im interested bcoz im a winner of 2016 with AS 82XX.so whatz the quota for AS for 2016.where i can learn the process.pls help.thanks in advanced.

OK - a couple of explanations. There are not 8200 cases in front of you - there are gaps (holes) in the numbering. However, each case number represents the winner and the family members of that winner - so on average there are around 1.7 family members per case for Asia.

Not everyone will apply (i.e. fill in the DS260), and not every case interviewed will be approved.

So - chances for your case - well it is somewhat risky. Last year they cut off at 7650 with (most likely) a similar distribution of cases. The quota for AS will be around 8000 to 8500 visas this year - but it is possible they don't hit that number (last DV was an example of that).

Bottomline is you cannot be 100% certain you will get current, but you still have some chance, so you cannot give up either. All you can do is wait, and see what happens. The final VB for 2016 will be published in July - and that is when you will know for sure.
