badluck2 is right. nothing to do about dependents. also nothing to do about birth control. It may be a precausionary measures as I guess. I did some calculation on yearly immigation status one of the website of Dept of State, till 2006 only about 12300 Nepalese immigate on DV category it's too low to get 50000 in last 16 years ? Same thing might have happend all asia. Could be more people are rejected from ASIA in privous years' ? So they draw enough to make 14002 after assumtion of may not succeed in DV from ASIA. just my asumption.
