Yes, but did you unlock your ds-260 and changed some info there after submission ?

I did not. I submitted in June and that's it.

I will wait till we get some insight into the election outcome before I get the docs, as don't want to incur any costs gathering them if there will be another EO blocking 2021.

You’re trying to come up with firm conclusions based on a handful or dozens or even hundreds of internet posts, which is a meaningless sample out of the tens of thousands of responses KCC has likely received by now. If only a third of selectees have submitted that’s 40000 DS260s.

How many selected from Asia this year?

If my coding is right:

Asia = 25,408
Africa = 53,649
Europe = 45,002
North America = 29
Oceania = 2,810
South America = 5,501

Total 132,399

Which is real close to what they say on the visa bulletin:
" Approximately 132,404 applicants have been registered "

Well there's over 50% more selectees this year compared with last year. I count 22605 selectees for Aisa for DV2021, which is approx 50% higher than your quoted number of 15000, so that sounds roughly right. There's always going to be some variation.

Yeah that makes sense. But this makes me realize how bad my luck is this year. Haha. 50% fewer eligible applicants, 50% more selectees. My country doesn't get that many selectees in the first place. This year it got almost 100. Makes me wonder if there was anything wrong with my application. Well, just my luck I guess.
 
Hi guys, I am from Albania (Europe) just found this great forum, first of all wish healthiness to everybody.

I am the principal applicant/winner for dv2021, my case number is 33k. for the moment I have not done any steps or process for form ds-260.

if somebody can assist or can advise what is appropriate to do in this situation. Thanks for your time and consideration.

well as i think it is better to at least fill it and prepare it (submitting the DS260 is up to you when you can see it appropriate )
there are many websites and youtube videos you can watch
but first read this from Britsimon http://britsimonsays.com/completing-the-ds260-for-dv-lottery-entrants/
as it has the information you are looking for

Regards

I doubt there is quota for each region
But no country can have over 7% of the total visas available
Click to expand...
there is a regional quota, as with the overall aim of DV the point is to tip the balance of favor for those from regions that send fewer immigrants to the US, and that’s why it is easier to get selected in some regions (hello OC) than others. You can read link posted above, also I seem to recall someone had explained it quite well on the Wikipedia page for DV.
 
Anyone know about second draw? If it happens this time, how and why that will happen ? Is it out of selectees.

When we talk about a second draw, it is when more selectees are added, starting from the highest case number on the first draw. Because this year already has enough selectees, there will not be a second draw this year.
 
What is the highest EU case number for 2021? I've seen 39k+ as highest.

Knowing highest case, we can figure out density of cases in each thousand.
And knowing approximate success rate ( arount 50% according to CEAC datasets ) we can count mathematical highest case for EU region ( same can be done for other regions, I'm just interested in EU, sorry ).

My calculation:
45002 number of selected
1.95 derivatives coefficient
19710 quota of EU region per visas according to Brit last YouTube - EU - analysis
39500 approximate maximum number I have seen so far
0.5 - i'm not certain, this was a roughly taken from the CEAC data sets looking at 19 and 20 years for the early numbers. I.e. for 10 approved cases, 1 or 2 refuses and 8-9 no answers from applicant.

(19710 / ((( 45000 / 1.95 ) / 39000) * 0.5) * 1.95) =
.

34163 cases

clueless here, so is it good or bad news ( highest case number being this low)
