QUESTION: Like 100,000?

MR. WILCOCK: Not everybody chooses to apply, not everybody qualifies. So we have to – and people are given a rank number, and we start at the top. In each region, as we literally – it’s not plucking balls out of the pot. But let’s just imagine that we’re plucking balls out of the pot. We’ve got six pots for each region. The first applicant that we select out is given rank order number one. That’s the first person that’s going to be called for an interview, and then we’ll go two, three, four, five, six. The further down in rank number you are, the less likely you are to receive a visa. And that information is also in the instructions as well so that people understand that – the lower down the rank order you are. You may – you may not – it depends.

But we don’t have people show up and interview and pay for the application only to be – and then tell them that they can’t go because we’ve run out visas. We don’t do it that way. Carefully looking at the numbers and how they’re used up throughout the program year, and when we know that the next person in line is going to get a shot at a visa number, then we will send them the information about their interview date.

So people have to – that’s why people have to check regularly after May 1 to see if they’ve gotten the – well, first of all, they have to send the information into the Kentucky Consular Center, but then they have to look to see if they’re going to get called for an interview.

So relax with friends. John Wilcock

I think that text has been garbed by Sloners translator so that he thinks the bolded piece is saying something more significant than it in fact is saying. The point f the bold text is a reaffirmation that not everyone will get an interview by that KCC will control the process by numbers so that they are not calling too many for interview and then wasting their time and money on useless appointments.

No I don't disagree with what is written at all - my point is, I can understand English.

Please be aware that even if you are selected as a DV winner, this does not guarantee that you will receive a visa. Not all selectees are scheduled for an interview due to numerical limits on the number of visas that can be issued.* If you do get a visa interview a Consular Officer will determine whether you meet the qualifications and are eligible for the DV under U.S. immigration law. Among other things, the applicant will need to show that he or she meets certain educational or work experience requirements, as described at www.dvlottery.state.gov.
Sloner do you disagree with is ;)
