KCC currently replying to 3k case numbers. May be you unlocked your ds 260 and resumbited. otherwise it is not possible they ask you docs this early.

It is absolutely possible for them to ask for documents. KCC don't follow your precise numbers, there are many factors that go into them requesting this, including (but not limited to) DS-260 being completed, region and embassy location - just to name a few

They answered:" If your police certificate is sent straight to the consular office and not to you, please provide a scanned copy of the receipt showing you have applied for the document. "
So, I guess it should be sent to the US embassy in HK.

Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate.

in early june for 1.5 month when there were not backlogs they asked ( even for higher numbers such as 23k ) documents those whose unlocked and resubmited ds-260 form. I am sure this guy also unlocked and resubmited his ds-260. Otherwise it is not possible.

Please stop saying things are not possible when you cannot possibly know what KCC is actually doing.

I just went back through a few old bulletins...the most recent one to top this was 140,660 for DV2014. Based on this it looks like the current case numbers got to 40xxx in September that year. But they started high (~8000 for EU and AF in October). This year they're starting with < 3000 for those regions for October :(

You might want to be clearer about what region you are talking about, or talk about numbers more generally, this thread is for all selectees.

They selected 44902 people from EU . New passport rule destroyed our sweet gaps :(

What do we know about how high the numbers go though? I seem to remember EU50K and AF80K being thrown out there a few months ago. Anyone heard of anything higher? There's around 54k selectees for AF this year.
 
So if i understand, there is even less chances to be called with my CN AF54k now that we know that so many people got selected ?
And there is also the ban ... Dude what a shitty feeling to be selected and then u discover that it's 99% impossible for them to call you
 
Can anyone explain how the 7% cap per country is applied? The VB says

The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country.

I thought this was applied during the draw, but 7% of this year's total (54,750) is 3832, and there are many countries with far more than that number "registered" according to the breakdown in the VB. Is the 7% cap applied during the processing stage?

Simon has several articles on the quota system. You can start by reading this this one

Thanks, that was interesting, but it doesn't explain any way that a country can get more than 7%. He says

There is a limit of 7% of the global allocation (so 3500) that cannot be exceeded by any one country. That limit has been treated as 7% of 55,000 in past years – so that may be the way the limit is enforced.

But we have:

ALGERIA 6,001
ETHIOPIA 3,957
SUDAN 6,001
CONGO 4,503
EGYPT 6,002
MOROCCO 4,458
IRAN 6,001
ALBANIA 3,962
RUSSIA 6,001
UKRAINE 5,604
UZBEKISTAN 5,319

I seems like it would be difficult to handle this in the interview scheduling phase because they'd have to manage VB current numbers separately for each of these countries. But maybe that's what they'll do.[/QUOTE]

You clearly didn’t understand what you read. The 7% allocation is in relation to the actual number of visas that gets issued at the end of the day, not the number of selectees for the FY. You’re applying the 7% allocation to the number of selectees

A given country cannot get more than 7% *visas*, not selectees. They select more people so that they can get close to the country limit. For the same reason they've selected 130k people and there's only 55k visas.
