Does anyone know the reason for not releasing the official dv 2008 results yet .Usually, they release the results by this time around.
 
Does it mean something bad for DV 2008 winners, that results are not published yet?

You will get the info you are looking for before or after 15th of this month.

I don't think it's something bad to be worried about. Don't forget KCC and all the embassies would be rounding up DV 07 and once they are done with DV 07 then that of 08 will commence.

The thing is that DV results were usually made public in the August Visa Bulletin, which is released in mid-July. This year they weren't.

I think it is important to note that there was a major mix up with the July bulletin and efforts were most likely concentrated on resolving that for the August bulletin.
While not based on any factual information I have a gut feeling that the DV-2008 info will be in the next bulletin after the 15th. We will just have to wait and see!!
 
It means they did not finish the processing for DV 2008 yet. On the other forum I heard somebody received NL last week. I see nothing to worry.

Yes that's very interesting Dragoman. Where have they received the NL. Could you give us the link.
 
This forum is in Turkish..Turkish winners write there. The person who received the NL is located in Turkey. This is also very interesting to me.

Some people from the post soviet union countries are still receiving NLs.
Waht I have read from some forums, that all NLs that have been received recently dated 25 April. That means only one thing - the regular mail works very slow in these countries, by the way the highest CN I have seen for EU is 257XX.
 
But in Turkey postal service works quite well..I cannot imagine the reason why the person received NL last week..

Do you know the Case Number of this fellow. When was the letter dated. Can you give us more information. Getting kind of weird this DV 2008.

Do you guys think that if KCC doesn't receive the desired rate of return on initial letters they'll send out more NL's later in the year. Please do comment on this.
 
I asked the person already. The problem is her family has received the letter and sent to her to another city. As she will receive it she will let me know about your questions.

Rate of return from Europe was so low for dv-2007, that KCC sent out winning letters to additional people in Europe in March 2007.
 
dragoman, I will have to be honest my Turkish would not be very good, in fact I would not have a word of it! :) so I guess looking through a Turkish forum with not be a whole lot of use to me! but thanks for keeping an eye and relaying information.

Galim, 257XX is only slightly higher then my number which is just below 253XX. I really only got a NL by the skin of my teeth! If any one sees any higher EU numbers I would be glad to hear about them! Would help me to feel optimistic ....
Also AF region seems crazy high, one guy posted his AF number at 68XXX!

I was really looking forward to the general 2008 stats, hope they are in the next bulletin.

According to last years, I think there is no reason to worry for people with high EU CN, accept for those separately listed countries. I haven't seen any posts from people who didn't got their chance to have the interview with high CN.
