I'm not sure how you got so confused, but you are not correct. The highest EU number is 27302. The 39999 selectees are all contained on 19002 actual cases (the 39999 includes derivatives).
Heya I have a question, I know we never know for sure how things work, but I would appreciate advice from some of the more experienced users/moderators on this forum:
.
- My boyfriend and I are engaged (but not yet married).
- I won the lottery for a diversity visa (green card) and I'm DQed and already VB current, and I set my U.S. consulate to Sydney, Australia (cause we live there).
- My boyfriend already has a job sponsor in the U.S. and they are applying for a H1B for him to come to U.S. (he also is waiting for the Sydney consulate to open for his H1B interview).
- My boyfriend is considering changing/booking his H1B interview to another consulate overseas (because unlike Greencard Diversity visa, you can interview at any consulate), lots of consulates are open and have less than 1 month wait for a H1B interview booking.
.
My questions are:
a) The only reason we haven't got legally married yet, is covid making it difficult for our friends/family to travel. But with that easing we are thinking of having marriage ceremony sooner rather than later...... If we do get married, would I need to ask for my DS-260 to be unlocked and add him to it as my husband, and have him collect all his documents (police certificates etc)?
.
b) By unlocking my DS-260 and submitting it again with my new husband's details, will I lose my "place in the line" with KCC or at the Sydney Consulate? I initially submitted back in August 2021. By the time they respond to my unlock request and we re-submit, I might get it submitted in March or April 2022.
.
c) Since my boyfriend already has a clear path to H1B, should he just add me on the H1B visa application as his wife after we get married. And go over to the U.S. together on his H1B (because it's dual intent) and when/if the Sydney Consulate re-opens, I fly back to Sydney and attend my Diversity Visa interview.
d) Or should we just wait to get officially married, and I wait for the Sydney consulate to reopen, and my boyfriend continues onto the U.S. with the H1B and we will eventually apply for his green card through marriage (through me, once I get it) and he transfers (Adjustment of status) from H1B to green card. I understanding this could take 12-36 months from application and can cost about $2k+ to file for. But at least we wouldn't rock the boat with my DS-260 etc
The thoughts of the moderators: @Britsimon @Sm1smom and other moderators would be appreciated and respected.

As I predict 2 days before is happening now right.. a big jump and also I I think definitely for May AS will reach 28k CN for sure
@DV2020EU44
hey there!!!
I have a question regarding VB I have a doubt that for March Current No Is 50000 right then is there very low chances for other Regions High CN because for at least if they issued 25000 visas only for AFRICA region then other regions High CN selectees will be loss their chances because if they reach their 55000 visas they will not issue anymore right !!!!

We cannot compare last year because of pandemic all the visas collapsed so we cannot take it as example
And also for AS when it was 8000 many Cases above 8000 CN cease have beemd scheduled and many have got their visa for AS region unless some Embassy so I think it won’t be a problem for active embassies it won’t backlog all the issues will be resolved as a soon as possible since The USA has loosen the MIGRATION

Hi Simon,
I thought the numbers published in the Aug 2021 bulletin (with allocation for country) to be cases, not visas.
Was I wrong then

Every region has it's share in 55K, so they won't issue all available visas for Africa for example and leave other regions without it.
Got it thank you so much
I think you could email and ask. The may let you join if you manage to do it by the end of today. End of today might be the last time to join.
If not, immpact litigation will be filed in days and then they'll ammend it after filing in a 21 days window.
Ohh,
I didn't know that after 21 days a new window opens. Is that something for all lawsuits?

a. Yes if you want him to benefit from your selection as a derivative.
b. The new form will need to be processed.
c. You can do that if you like. He will obviously need to list your name/update his information if you get married before he attends his H1-B interview.
d. You can also go that route if you prefer.
p.s. questions c&d involves personal choices/decisions you need to make on our own IMO.
I don't know if it's for all lawsuits or the details of it. But the Jesse lawsuit was filed on 1st of February. His renewed onboarding is actually part of the ammendment window.
The deadline for joining him is actually by the end of today.
Immpact will also do the ammendment and take extra plaintiffs. I highly think so.
I won't tell you my personal decision.
Anyways, I think the pros and cons of joining a lawsuit are clear. You have to decide what's best for your case.
Hi all,
my understanding is that after interviewing it is recommended to travel immediately to the USA to receive the visa.
My question is this: After I receive the visa, I want to return to my home country for another 6-12 months before fully moving my life to the US.
Would that be a problem? would they revoke my visa if I am absent for 12 months after I received it?

You can certainly return to your home country for 6 to 12 months after activating your LPR status.
