Well, the key to the progress should be number of visas issued. So far, visas issued count is low compare to the progress. In fact is very low for Asia and it is the same as other regions. So we can expect it to go faster in 2nd half of DV14. Whether there is special cut off is not important but the progress is. So I would say the next 6 months progress will be interesting.

Does anyone know if visa-issue rates have been low so far in Oceania? I've read elsewhere that there have been quite a few rejected Fijian cases, but I wonder how we're tracking overall.

Yes, based on my last check, OC visa issuance rate is still low. So, we can expect it to progress faster in coming months. Moreover, OC is much simpler than AS because it do not have a single country with high selectees like Nepal and Iran.

They issued 88 for OC from october to december
 
DV-2013 provides a perfect opportunity for statistical analysis because CEAC system [16] was already in place (not available in prior lotteries) and at the same time DOS still published thorough statistics [17] for the number of entries submitted (DOS did it only for years 2007-2013; it is not available for DV-2014 and possibly future lotteries)

Simon I don't know if you answered me on this already !
Why do they say they didn't publish the number of entries for dv14 !?
I'm prety sure they did and it was about 16000000 ?
 
Thanks for that, vladek15425 and Kayend. So that I can check myself in future, where do you get the info from. I've been to the CEAC website but can't find that sort of data.
This is the spreadsheet made by reavsky shows from october up to january, now because he did it in the beginnig of january it will not show what realy happened to the interviews untill he updateds it.

And this is the ceac website, the day you are current you can check your status online:

The data is extracted from the ceac site, one case at a time, using a scraper script.

They published the 2014 selected entries stats - and that document lists winners per country (including derivatives) and also mentioned the 14 million entries including family. That does not break down the entries by country and the per country split of entries and derivatives (which we have up to 2013).

The 2014 numbers are here:-
http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/dv2014-selected-entrants.html

But what we don't have is the 2014 numbers on this document.

But why do they say we will probably never get those stats in the futur?

I assume we will - did someone say they won't publish that?

Because they say its not availble for dv 14 and( possibly)futur lotterie !!!!

Because other lotterie is in the futur obviously no need to mention that!:)
Or its just my stupid understanding that kicked in again lol :d
