LOL Vladek. I didn't get them last time - just published what someone passed to me. I will try though...
 
I can't wait to see the upcoming VB! Man, I read a lot of discouraging stuff about maybe not getting an interview. But Simon told me that my CN might not be that high and that it's very possible for me to get an interview :) However, does anybody know the highest CN that got interviewed last year?

CASE NUMBER: 2014EU00033xxx
 
In Asia either Iran or Nepal or both may be put on special cutoff otherwise there won't be big jump.As Iranian maximum cases numbers fall below 10k so there is a maximum possibily that Iran will be put on a special limit.lets see what happen this time!!!

According to the screen scraped CEAC data, 30,532 is the CN of the highest case number interviewed. I think in reality the there were numbers higher than that interviewed.

However, your number is WELL within the safe range, so please don't worry.

Funnily enough the best predictions I have seen in this thread are from Sloner. So I agree with Sloner that AF would be 24-26k. The country cutoffs are too difficult to predict.

For the record I think Europe should be around 17k (Sloner had said 16 - 18k).

Yeah I remember. I never quite understood why you thought there would be a big jump in March but a lower jump in February. I couldn't understand why Feb would be held back in any way...

Dear simon
After I checked all the cutt offs on the last 5 years (excluding dv 12) I put all of them together than I devided them on 5, than I got my own number neh!
Now I added a pecentage on each cutt of because of the 40k extra selectees . Than according to my intuition, I considered the publicshut down will have an impact untill february ! Not that february cut offs will be than small no ! I still said that will be a considerable move in there, that's why the big jump will occur in march month, according to me.
Hope u understand my english ;)
Just my opinion like u say

Ahh ok - thanks for explaining. Your method makes sense in factoring in the "capacity" within the regions - so yeah I like that.
 
What makes you think Uzbekistan will be separate again? And why with such a low number?
