DV 2020 Kenya

Not really. For instance, my case number has 3 selectees to it.

Technically speaking, there’s only one selectee per CN, eligible family members are regarded as derivatives or beneficiaries, they're not “selectees” because they were not selected.
 
Simon in his blog said this. That's what @Maggie.n was talking about.

1. Notice the use of the phrase “Technically speaking” in my quoted post?

2. “If a DV selectee dies, what happens to the case?
If a DV selectee dies at any point before he or she has traveled to the United States or adjusted status, the DV case is automatically closed. Any derivative spouse and/or children of the deceased selectee will no longer be entitled to apply for a DV visa. Any visas issued to them will be revoked.”
DV2020 Instructions (page 14)

3. If I’m not mistaken, DV selectee notification letter starts out as:

“Dear FIRST NAME MIDDLE NAME LAST NAME,
You are among those randomly selected for further processing ...”

And not Dear First Name Middle Name Last Name,
You and your family members are among those randomly selected ...

4. “Applicants who are selected in the program (“selectees”) must meet simple but strict eligibility requirements to qualify for a diversity visa.” A derivative is not required to meet any of the eligibility requirements, so technically there’s only one selectee, family members are derivatives

Yoga? At this rate the earliest my case number becomes current is either next year July or August. We wait, we hope, and pray.

Why do you keep saying "at this rate". The pace of the first 2 VBs does NOT set the pace for the whole year, NOR does it saying anything about the end point. CALM DOWN and exercise some patience.
