DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

There's like 119,000 people selected (number grows as people marrying and having kids exceeds those passing away) for 55000 visas. It's an over-selected year. 2021 was super over-selected, but still this year is an over-selected year. This means for the month of September (or say the last quarter) they will have more demand (DS submitees as opposed to DQs I guess) than supply (visas left). This means they need to set final cutoff dates.
The full data will be out in January. I don't know about the EU numbers (I know about the AS data). Based on 2020 data and the bulletins by now, I would say EU24k is pretty safe. The chances of your number getting current during this fiscal year are pretty good. So, chill out.
Hi, how about AS24K? Too high for the region? Thank you.
 
Dears can CP deny your visa just because you entered a wrong passport number in the Entry DV form but then correct in the DS-260?
 
I have two passports from different countries.
When I attend my interview, can I choose which passport the Diversity Visa gets attached to?
Or do the consular staff choose the passport of my chargeability/eligibility country?

Entered wrong passport number how? Transposed one or two numbers? All the listed numbers were wrong? You’ll need to provide more information on this in order to get an appropriate response

Attend the interview with both passports, inform the IO which of the passports you wish to have your visa stamped on.

To be honest I don't know I'm just overthinking... stress is killing me :/
 
Do we know what is going to happen to the leftover DVs from 2021? We know they only issued 17k visas of the 55k allowance. Do the remaining visas go to waste?
 
So we got our interview appointment for January but our case is not current (probably will become current in February). we registered ourselves on the embassy website and after completing registration it was written to only come for appointment only if case number is current or call and reschedule. So once visa bulletin updates for January we will call embassy and reschedule.
Hi, may i please know if it is for dv-2021 or dv-2022
 
Hello all, I have a question. My brother won DV and he had a newborn 15 days ago. What is the process for him to add his child? Should he change his DS260, or what? I have no idea what the process is, what the steps are? Thank you so much in advance.

I was in the same situation. He should add the baby to the application (submit DS-260 for the baby) and also unlock DS forms for him and his spouse to update their family information.
 
I have filled my DS-260 and my case number is below OS000350 and was in November visa bulletin. I haven't received nl2 yet. Any update if the DV-2022 interviews have started in Oceania

Depends on where you are interviewing - we have seen the first OC interviews scheduled in London for Jan. None so far in Au/NZ due to closed consulates.

Please look at the tracking sheet for where OC interviews are happening and add your own info if you haven’t already
 
Hi all. I was reading Britsimon blog, under FAQ, reason for refusal: he mentions that missing middle name is a big mistake. When I was filling the eDV form, I deliberately left my middle name because it is not shown in my passport. I also was a student in US under F1, when I applied for F1 I left my middle name and got approved F1. Now back to DV, when I filled the DS260 I also left the middle name, however, my birth certificate clearly shows my middle name. Do you think this might affect in any way to the approval of the DV?
