I have a question, the draw is made earlier than june, does this mean from the day of the draw until the day of results announcement, could there be filtration between numbers and disqualification?
Sure there are disqualifications between the draw and publication of results - if not there would not be holes in the case numbers.
Do you know what the statistics will show?
Total amount of winners for this year, List of winners by country etc
Appreciated
I am in the low 6K and I will not submit my DS until, at least, November.
This has been discussed just two pages back, you can find it between posts complaining about KCC.
In fact there we do know this. VBs will continue as usual because they also cover AOS for DVs
IMHO KCC will release VB for October this August but they will reduce current number digits in order to lighten the load of overseas consulates. For example 300 for October , 800 for November , 1000 for December etc. The reason I think so in VB for April this year they only increased it by 200. It means they want to adapt. With the experience gained due to the negativities in the current fiscal year, we can see a more flexible and cautious KCC. And please guys don't judge me with sarcasm I am load of theories right now I just want to share.
I think they’ll do the opposite personally, start fast Oct-Dec then slow down, but it’s all just theories.
I hate speculation but FWIW I agree with Susie, I think they'll start high initially which will be great for those processing AOS, I'd then think that come January, February you may seen numbers come to a standstill so the embassies catch up.
No, I think the opposite. Because of the visa ban and closing the embassies they gonna increase the numbers to allow others especially the AOS to apply and give away the 50,000 DV visas.
If they can get interviews in time, yes. Uscis offices have been closed for months during Covid and have only recently reopened. Some of the biometrics locations are still not open.
