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



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.

There have been a few past years where individual countries have reached the max (Bangladesh while it was eligible and Iran are two that I recall) where they stopped issuing visas before fiscal year end. So don’t worry, they keep track and figure it out! 1, they don’t have to schedule interviews regardless of visa number if they reach a country max and 2, if they reach a max while people are still waiting for interviews, unfortunately they just get cancelled.

@SusieQQQ , Maximum visa number means is it just the visas for principle applicant (DV1) or with the derivatives?
 
132,404 applicants have been registered and notified is that number include derivatives (family member of the main applicant)?

Is it me or is the number of selectees in Asia higher this year than previous years? I know there is usually an allocated of selectee numbers based on region. Asia usually only gets around 15000. Even with the extra 5000 visas and over selection it still seems quite high this year. Granted, if the travel ban isn't lifted, a quarter of that number won't be able to process.

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.

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?
Click to expand...
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 "
