Thanks! I didn't know about this holes theory, I think this was the piece that I was missing to have the puzzle completed.

Butters explained well, but just to finish off. There are just under 65000 actual case numbers. That is one for each principal selectee and whatever number of derivatives they have. So - there are about 54000 derivatives on the 65K cases. As has been mentioned the holes theory (which is now a well established understanding) means the holes account for the difference between the 65K and the cumulative total number of case numbers in the 6 regions.

Just an update in case it could help anyone, they called me from the embassy and I found out that the reason behind temporary refusal was because they wanted my old passport to remove the B1/B2 visa from it before printing the immigrant visa. Which I had with me during the interview but they didn't ask for it although it's the passport I entered the lottery with. The status has been changed to "Issued" today. Good luck everyone!

Interesting point. That's another reason to carry the old passport to the interview.

Did you physically return your old passport or you just gave them the visa details?
 
Hey, a few questions for after the interview:
1. How long after landing in the US does the green card arrive in the mail?
2. Do we automatically get SSN? If not, is it a process or its simply going to a government office and issuing an SSN in the same day? Also, can I issue an SSN after coming to the US but before the green card arrived in the mail?

Congratulations!

You are from Morocco? Would you like to share your interview experience? Me too from Morocco.
 
@Sm1smom and team, do you know if unlocking the DS to update the address to another country (to change consulate) affects the DS submission date (does it update it to the new date?).
While I understand what Simon explained that it's DQ date what matters the most, I firmly believe that everything else equal, the case submitted earlier will be opened earlier for processing.
 
Hello, just to let you know, I asked KCC about status of my case, because it got current last January and I have not received scheduling date, so I received this answer:


Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email

If you need to make changes to your DS-260 you should contact the consular section where you will be interviewed, or bring the information about your changes to your interview appointment. Because your case is ready to be scheduled, KCC can no longer unlock your application


My case is SA6XX interview should be in Bogota.

I believe Simon already did a great job of explaining this. However, it is okay to disregard the explanation he provided and for you to stick with what you believe as to how the process works.

While I understand your frustration, my question is very specific and is not about the order of cases being ready for interview: does unlocking the case reset the submission date.
Does anyone else - who is willing to share - know the answer?
 
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I got my interview email yesterday it's on April 18.

Thank you for all the invaluable information from everyone, and a special thank you to @Britsimon for all the answers on the telegram. (I'm restricted there because I bullied someone who kept asking if KCC is open and the admin restricted me) wishing everyone the best of luck :)
