Visa Bulletin for July 2015

[n.n.]

Most DV2015 EU folks should have made it this year, as the region came very close to being Current. Finally there will be incremental EU cases during September. Congratulations to All who made it! Now the real stress is going to start for you guys.
By the way: Greece is well on its way to become the new "European Nepal" for DV years to come...

Thanks EURO2014! That's simply unbelievable! I am happy that I will have real stress you are talking about because "wait and see" was a torture, not stress!

EU can have no complaints. That is an excellent final number for them...

All I know is that I am from EU and the numbers are far from excellent.

700 case numbers from EU are above the 43050 number. That sucks if you are one of those of course, and I am not forgetting that, but it is a heck of a difference comparing to the 12000+ cases in AF that didn't go current, or the 4200+ in Asia that didn't go current, or the 756 in OC that didn't go current, or even the 578 in SA that didn't go current.

So yeah, EU had a great year compared to other regions.

About 97% of the European selectees are happy and they share their happiness, good for them. I represent the 3% who have no reason to be happy at all just like the 40%, or so, of the Africans and Asians. Our year was 100% worse than of those who were lucky.
When I won in May last year, I was among the 2-3% of the lucky ones. Now, again I am in the 3%. This time, of the not so lucky ones.
