Congrats bro...good luck on your interview...

What a date! All the best!

ferdiii:

Just go along with it, if they ask you, you give them.So that you won't be going back and forth.

Nice one.

Gentiger: Visas allotted to Nigerians are gradually depleting. When case numbers above 8500 have been scheduled for interview and Nigeria got just 6000 visa slots and only half that number gets issued yearly, what's the fate of those with high case numbers? Just thinking out loud.

They won't have a shot...but if they bring in extra visas from other regions..they all will. With the events in Arab world and the American hatred...most Arabs are placed under administrative processing or unwilling to pursue their cases.

@Gentiger, how did you know 6000visas only are available for Nigerians, is it a constant amount or it varies

Not 6,000 visas rather it is like 3,500. However6,218 Nigerians were selected, so check the number that will be granted visas.There could be other conditions and decisions that we do not know.

@all,
I think from experience and reaseches have done,all those with high case numbers stil get chance of interview but its usually late july,Aug into sept. They have never granted the whole visa(6% allocated to naija-3500)before.Please check your facts and i stand to be corrected. Most times i see average of about 200-300 visa left every year since it started in 1995.
Am not trying to dispute any body comments here but lets make researches.
As any one with very high CN come here or visited any immigration forum to tell you he or she was never interviewed during a current year? please lets findout

Hey, a DV 2009 selectee is my friend, he was never given any appointment letter for visa interview. What does that mean? Did they still leave out 200-300 visas? For what? Our belief when they say August-Sept Nigeria CURRENT is that the 6% or the 3,500 visas should all be given. But you don't come forward for it or failed to claim, there will be remnant.At least everyone will a chance to shoot at the visa.

Not a standard though but i had someone cclose to me who submitted application to KCC in june and was scheduled for interview in september, he was refused cos he had 4 credits but his other friends was given the visa ( late september at that ).

Thanks for clearing the air, INFORMATION IS POWER.

@temmy,ferdii and other gurus,
Please explain for me and for other forum members briefly about which case number are called high and which are low with respect to the time documents send back to kcc...
The other one is also about visa being running out...pls

temmytanny:

Even the so called 50000 has never been crossed since it started in 1995

A Total of 51,312 and 51,118 Visa was issued in 2010 and 2011 fiscal year respectively.

In 2010 fiscal year, A lady with a high case number did not get a 2NL before the the 50,000 limit was exhausted....
But to the Glory of God...She was selected again the next year 2011 with a low case number...she is now in Yankee

LET ME ENLIGHTEN YOU A LITTLE BIT..READ THIS

Immigrant Visa Allocation and Management System (IVAMS):
IVAMS is an inventory system for Immigrant Visa (IV) and Diversity Visa (DV). IVAMS receives immigrant visa authorization requests from all immigrant visa processing posts (including the NVC) and from the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It controls the allocation of immigrant visa numbers in accordance with the rules on foreign state chargeability, priority date, and preference category as specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act, and based on the posts' monthly reports of qualified applicants. IVAMS acts as a repository for worldwide visa statistics. IVAMS tracks the posts’ demand requests for and allocations of immigration and diversity visas. This system automatically calculates visa quotas based on US Government policies and sends Qualifying Dates and Allocation Information to the IVIS system at NVC and IV posts abroad.IVAMS deals with numbers of visas as opposed to individual visas and the associated applicant names.

Using available estimates, the Attorney General must then determine the population of each of the six regions (excluding the population of any high admission foreign state) and use those totals to determine the apportionment
of the 55,000 worldwide DV limitations. Quotas for the six regions will be established. Natives of these regions compete for that portion of the total established for that region. Any unused portion of a regional quota is
distributed proportionally among the other regions. High admission states are excluded entirely from the apportionment. No one country’s nationals may receive more than 7% of the available visas in any one year.

IN ADDITION.....
The Centralized control of the numerical limitations on immigration specified in INA 201, 202, and 203 is established in the Department. The Department shall limit the number of immigrant visas that may be issued and the number of adjustments of status that may be granted to aliens subject to these numerical limitations to a number:

(1) Not to exceed 27 percent of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) in any of the first three quarters of any fiscal year; and

(2) Not to exceed, in any month of a fiscal year, 10% of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) plus any balance remaining from authorizations for preceding months in the same fiscal year.

(b) Allocation of numbers. Within the foregoing limitations, the Department shall allocate immigrant visa numbers for use in connection with the issuance of immigrant visas and adjustments based on the chronological order of the priority dates of visa applicants classified under INA 203 (a) and (b) reported by consular officers pursuant to section 42.55(b) and of applicants for adjustment of status as reported by officers of the DHS, taking into account the requirements of INA 202(e) in such allocations. In the case of applicants under INA 203(c), visa numbers shall be allocated within the limitation for each specified geographical region in the random order determined in accordance with sec. 42.33(c) of this part.

(c) Recaptured visa numbers. An immigrant visa number shall be returned to the Department for reallocation within the fiscal year in which the visa was issued when:
(1) An immigrant having an immigrant visa is excluded from the United States and deported;
(2) An immigrant does not apply for admission to the United States before the expiration of the validity of the visa;
(3) An alien having a preference immigrant visa is found not to be a preference immigrant; or
(4) An immigrant visa is revoked pursuant to section 42.82.
