Well, another year without DV visa interviews in September for EU, it seems (other than potential August interview backlogs)... this has now happened since 2006 (prematurely Current every August & September 2007 - 2013 and zero CN increase in 2014).
This way EU will never get its visa assignment up - for 2014 the picture currently looks as follows: Issued Visa: 14,392, July + August Interviews: 2,456, meaning if everyone should attend their interview this would take us to 16,848 Visa, approx. the same number issued last year. Of course there will be cases of interviews not attended and some visa rejections, on the other hand there will be visa issued from AP and AOS (not included in CEAC data base), so at the end this may result in approx. the same number of DV EU visa as in 2013.
On the positive side - for the lucky ones now having been selected twice - everyone who has received their interview confirmation by now should be safe, there is no indication that visa numbers will run out, based on a EU CN 40,150 or somewhat above (in case there will be an increase over the coming weeks).
True that. Double true that actually!
I think people should not be worried about interviews being canceled in August. With current (current meaning August-Sept) cut-offs there should be enough visas !!!
