DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

SusieQQQ said:
yes, they will still schedule some, but its only going to be some.They did say they won’t reach the ceiling. And remember tier 4 includes employment visas too.

Right...waiting for the next round where everyone calls their embassy to find out how many DV slots they’re allocating ...

Oh yep... It will happen lol... Most embassies don't take any phone call though nor email! People can still try ;) I personally feel very hopeful for Montreal for example but we shall see... They are literally not scheduling any immigrant visa atm and well, looks like they need to starting next week. I would indeed be tempted to remind them if only my Ds-260 had been processed ;p

That's what they currently say "The United States Consulate General in Montreal has resumed certain immigrant visa services, including spouses and children of U.S. citizens, K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants, and other categories such as medical professionals.  All other immigrant and nonimmigrant visa services remain restricted to emergency appointments."
 
Nooooooooo..
>>schedule and adjudicate some cases in Tier Three and Tier Four each month
The word of "some" sounds like a couple of dozen to me and it's hopeless considering that we have 532 winners from Japan.
I am ready to file a class action.

532 winners DON'T mean 532 cases AT ALL. So you might have a chance. It's hard to say, obviously but there are certainly NOT 532 cases.

Tokyo only issued less than 100 visas back in 2019 https://dvcharts.xarthisius.xyz/ceacFY19.html (And Naha issued 1!)

Exactly. It’s less cases, plus you always get a chunk of winners who just don’t proceed.

its the 4500-6000 selectee countries who also have large numbers of other immigrant visas being processed that are going to get hit worst. Japan had a total of less than 1500 all immigrant visas issued in FY19, including 189 DVs, before the pandemic (this is official data https://travel.state.gov/content/da...019AnnualReport/FY19AnnualReport-TableIII.pdf )It is probably one of the countries that is going to do pretty well through this, as a result.
 
>>Puda
>>SusieQQQ
OK,I understood there are many people who applied DV program and got selected but decided not to proceed in the first place.
I wish such kind of people accounts for large percentage of it like 2019.
Anyway I still be ready to file class action if it's needed but I want say conglatulations to whoever won it in Okinawa.

I cant reply you for some reason..

Is there a report that includes ANY immigrant visa being issued and not just by foreign state of chargeability/place of birth? Sorry, I am thinking about Canada or the UK here for example where the total amount of visas being issued is probably higher than that. DVs are not indicated for example. (Which makes sense since those 2 countries can't play) Unless those 2 embassies mostly have to process non immigrant visas. Could also be the case!

There is issuance by post and detailed IV category, I only know the page that has monthly numbers ....feel free to download and collate (or find the publication with the annual data :) ) https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...tistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html
 
Thanks a bunch :) Looks like Montreal has been scheduling a crazy ton of fiancé visas in March. I am going to patiently wait and see if my turn ever comes :D

Just moved my interview location from Moscow which is currently operating at %25 capacity, to Cairo which has 6002 selectees (O.O)

Goh v. Blinken is my last hope.
 
I'm on O-1 visa and I was planning to go with CP because my CN isn't so early. But looks like they aren't scheduling interviews much, does it better to change to AOS now, or is AOS not processing also? CN is AS12k and I sent DS260 and additional documents.

Yup. Due to the pandemic issue I understand that joining the lawsuit or not may be the key of obtaining my green card.
But still I do not expect such bad situation

If you are already in the US imo it makes total sense to AOS, all numbers are current from June (other than a few countries). There is a separate AOS thread with a very informative spreadsheet in the first post. Please post any follow up AOS questions in that thread.
 
Guys, just FYI, London, UK has just announced that they would start processing DV cases.

It makes sense with what we were talking about yesterday. Now, they won't process a LOT of cases and it will only be beneficial to embassies/consulates with a low number of immigrant visas. (And I am talking about less than 500 DV winners per year here)

I am expecting Paris or Montreal to follow suit.

I actually expect the situation to be only getting worse.
Around 12k selectees are DQ.
With the current pace, KCC and Consulates, following DoS priority guidelines, will only be able to adjudicate less than 12k selectees until the end of FY2021.
Therefore, unless we win in court, nothing will happen and only those who are DQ right now will have the best chance of getting an interview before the end of year.

Why is your number of DQ only half of what xarthisius reported?
