DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hi Everyone,
Please can someone tells me the difference between status being at NVC and status being at KCC. Before now my status was at NVC but currently at KCC.
Thanks

It is the same. “NVC” is a default status in CEAC because the DS260 form is used for several other immigration cases which NVC has jurisdiction over. NVC however has no jurisdiction nor process DV cases. So while CEAC may show the status as at NVC, the DV case is actually at/with KCC.

Thanks for the explanation.
 
You cannot add a “fiancée” or submit a DS260 for them as a derivative. You can only do so after you’ve been married.
i am sorry to ask but what if we just go to court and sign marriage documents, during the interview do they ask for wedding pictures, and also does getting married after winning the lottery reduce your chances of being successful?

Does the NVC timeframes website does not covers D260 form for DV applications or where can i find the current satus of the D260 forms I submitted. CEAC says at KCC and " Entrant Status check" has no information.

1. In most places, signing marriage documents in a court or a registry is all that is required for one to be considered legally married. If that applies in your county, then that is all you need in order to add a newly acquired spouse to your DV selection. A large wedding ceremony does not make a marriage more legal or genuine.
2. There’s an expectation for anyone getting married after the DV selection to be able to demonstrate the marriage is genuine and not a sham/GC marriage. Be prepared to demonstrate you’ve have had existing relationship prior to your DV selection.
 

DV statistics by country​

For whoever is curious, I've calculated the number of cases per country in DV-2022. I used Aug 2021 visa bulletin to get the count of all winners and Xarthisius's CEAC data. I also used DV-2021 data to estimate the number of entrants, derivatives and total people per country for DV-2022.

See the "V" column (on the top right) in the spreadsheet -

2NL statistics by case number​

Similarly, I also have a spreadsheet with charts about 2NL, which I update manually using Frank's data -

I wanted to explain 2NL statistics by case number spreadsheet charts (see my post above) a bit more, but am unable to edit the post.


At the top, there are 2 charts. One shows how many cases got a 2NL per day (AS and AF had a lot more 2NLs recently than EU). It's a very spiky chart, so I smoothed it out on the right side (where I approximate the number of 2NLs over 5 days).

Below these 2 charts, you can see a chart showing the total number of 2NLs (e.g. EU has received most 2NLs so far). The chart on the right shows how many % of the cases have received 2NL per day (this number is also smoothed out over 5 days).

Below these 2 charts is a chart showing a percentage of cases per region that have received 2NL (e.g. NA received more than any other region, and SA is the next region with the highest number of 2NLs per number of cases in the region). On the right is a chart showing how many cases in the region are current according to the Visa Bulletin.

Not sure what you are trying to express here, but I see some problems.

Your 2022 quotas don't tie to the rules, did you just split it up based on previous years ratios? That's not how it works.
Did you do the same to get 2022 entries? Also not what happens.

Am I missing something?
 
Wow, thank you for your effort!
That is an insane amount of work!

Unfortunately it is very hard to read due to the bounding of the forum.
Perhaps you also have a link to more readable spreadsheet?

A few hours ago I posted a question regarding the "response rate".
See here: DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES (I can't post the link)
As far as I can see you didn't take them into account.

Another thing I'm not sure about is, how the different regions interact, i.e. how does KCC decide
how many cases out of the approximate 3000 go to AF,AS,EU,.. ?
We can probably get a rate, if we only look at the month of march, that is from 15.1.22 to 15.2.22.
 
Does the NVC timeframes website does not covers D260 form for DV applications or where can i find the current satus of the D260 forms I submitted. CEAC says at KCC and " Entrant Status check" has no information.
Hi,
is "Entrance Status Check" and "CEAC" info has to be the same? Our ant Entrance check status just shows a very first message that you got selected etc... at CEAC shows at KCC....

Not that I'm aware of.
But what is the harm in doing so? Call the embassy and ask them. You will just talk to a secretary.
 
I found some response rates by region on Brit Simon's page from 2015

AF 61%
EU 52%
AS 69%
SA 55%
OC 46%

Let's make an example calculation for the EU region.
Below the 13500 VB there are 10074 cases going with 55 % instead of 52 %.
There are 5541 cases expected to respond. Currently they have processed 2316 cases.
That leave 3225 cases, which need to be processed before they should, not necessarily will, move
the VB up.

Assuming they can process 1000 cases per month for EU alone. That brings us to June before they should move
the VB.

Pointing out errors in this crude estimation will be appreciated.
