London embassy did no such thing. There's just one case in CEAC that's assigned to that embassy. It might have happened due to multiple reasons. It does *not* imply that London embassy will start processing DV visas in bulk. That actually applies to a lot of embassies that account you quoted claims to be "operating normally".
To the extent that they are getting pushed right to the back of the line for the remainder of the fiscal year? Yes actually, especially after the concerted effort many embassies went to to go all out and issue a boatload in September last year. I thought that at the least they would issue “normal” allocations to DV, not well below normal.
I think that Twitter feed posts some real nonsense in interpretation btw. Just my humble opinion.
They 100% do. I am interested in the data
Sorry, no, they definitely won’t process visas in bulk but that embassy *finally* accepting 1 case is still a somehow a positive trend. Considering that they have a low number of DV selectees + immigrant visas overall, they might be able to process all of them.
Hm re operating normally (whatever that means in a COVID world) if you look at pre-pandemic numbers (fy19), London seemed to issue an average of somewhere in the teens of DVs (total visas not cases) per month - anywhere from single digits to around 20. Montreal looked similar. Total IV issuances out of these posts in FY19 and the preceding few years was around 4K for London and 4.5-5.5k for Montreal. Without doing a detailed breakdown most of those will be some sort of family category and therefore have preference under the new system. Then again slotting in say 15 DV visas a month could be both “normal” DV wise for these consulates and still align with the priority system. So who knows how they’ll approach it. The more serious issues are going to be at the middle eastern, African, Easter European consulates that issue both a significant amount of IVs and DVs a year, some of which are still not even open.
I have seen data for Yerevan embassy... it was scheduling about 250 interviews in every month(2020) and now it scheduled only 12 cases in April and then nothing. That really hurts
Yes, and to be fair, I wouldn’t expect more than that with the new tiers in place. Again, it will be only beneficial to certain consulates.I have seen data for Yerevan embassy... it was scheduling about 250 interviews in every month(2020) and now it scheduled only 12 cases in April and then nothing.

If they are described as documentarily qualified they will have received a confirmation email.
Most of us haven’t received an email yet asking to send our documents. You’ll just have to wait and see. You are automatically assigned the embassy where you live so there is no way to know who selected what.
maybe really....no
