High case number - worried

Hi fellow lottery winners/selectees. My case number is DV2013AF000875xx from Uganda. Since it is very high, am worried that we might reach Sept 30th 2013 before they ever reach my range. Can this be possible?
 
no need to worry just be ready and probably you will be interviewed by July-August 2013, Africa always get current in that period.
 
Well if you think about it, only 50,000 will be given green card and that has to include the dependants, so If I won GC and I am bringing my 50 children with me and my wife that would take 52 GC out of 50,000 potty... With case numbers above 50k it is quite shaky wether they will have any GC left for you. But most other years Africa did become current so dont worry ;) Its just most likely interview will be very late.

All cns are mostly current in september. And there are few instances where the visas were actually depleted and infact they try as much as possible to allocate all visas of that financial year. Worry not and what you should do is make your preparation with a zero margin of error to avoid AP and you have plenty of time to read all experiences posted here. Go through the forum and you will get winners who had a higher cn than yours.

I ask you question,

I went to Dubai with tourist visa in June 2009 , i stayed 3 months, then I renew an other 3 month visa in August 2009, then I renew another 3 months tourist visa on December 2009, however i had a residence in Dubai on April 2010 and I stayed 2 months as resident then I got back to my home country on late June 2010 and i never came back.

I am DV 2013 winner, my question is : do I have to look for Police clearance for my stay in Emirates ?
 
Interview?

Please let me know when you get an interview because I have a high case number like yours. Joseph from Kenya.

This is wrong,the 50000 does not include dependents.

I knew someone two years ago with a number in the 80000s, they got their GC. Remember a lot of African entrants get disqualified along the way, I believe mostly because they cannot prove they will not be a public charge, some are in AP too long, some in sham marriages and so on. There are statistics somewhere on the number of disqualifications I think. I believe there has only been one or two years in the last 13 years when not all numbers were current and that was before the financial crisis.

Also remember though that there is a per-country limit, I believe sometimes people from the more populous countries get cut off because of this. (I don't think this is usually a problem for Uganda though)
 
It DOES include all family members.

I tried posting a link, however whenever I try to do so I get a message that the post has to be approved by a moderator (and it doesn't, and they do not respond to my questions). So, let's try it this way :)

Search for 2011 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics Data Tables, it's Table 7: it gives you a breakdown of winners, family members, AoS.

Thanks,

I wish I can post freely, so much info to share, but not able to :)

Sorry brother but the family winner consider 1 visa only not for each family memebr green card the winner will get DV1 and the spouse DV2 and kids DV3 and if he did AOS he will get DV6 and the spouse DV7 and kids DV8 :cool:

All adds up to 50,000 (DV1 and DV2 etc). The total is 50,000 for all - yes, it's possible to run out of numbers (one of the posts in family immigration forum explains that his number was too high so he's doing GC through marriage).
 
It's 50,000 in total, not 50k principals plus spouses and kids. So most years it's about 27k principals and the rest are spouses and kids.

Relax, you'll probably be interviewed in August or September 2013.

Our friend Obeezyb has a number of 105,000+ and even he is optimistic so you should be too :)


And for all my other friends out there, don't be mistaken! 50,000 selectees INCLUDES dependants!
