how much is the clearing cost on RORO AES RANGE SPORT 2006/2007 & 2008?

Gentiger: How many credit passes has he? He needs atleast 5 with either of English or mathematics.
He must have someone in the US. That could delay his application or lead to outright denial.
If he's your husband, why didn't he include you as a beneficiary? If this gets known to the CO, his visa will be denied. I hope this enlightens you better.

Mr. CO !!! TRY NOT TO GIVE PEOPLE HYPERTENSION NOW !!!!
YOU CAN'T GET DENIAL DUE TO INCOMPLETE ADDRESS INFO. DELAY IS UNDERSTANDABLE

MADAM TELL YOUR HUBBBY TO USE ANY REDEEM CHURCH ADDRESS IN THE CITY WHERE HE INTEND TO RESIDE. FOR EX. RCCG DALLAS
YOU CAN EVEN USE A PROPECTIVE EMPLOYER'S ADDRESS ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS BY DOS

EVEN IF YOUR HUSBAND DID NOT ADD YOU TO THE INITIAL ENTRY AND YOU DON'T HAVE KIDS YET? .....ALLOW HIM GO TO US AS SINGLE ...YOU CAN THEN RE-MARRY..THEN HE FILE FOR YOU AFTER ONE YEAR.

Opoki: @seye4real: Tis well.

I guess this also apply to your case.

Try and save ur medical and visa processing fee especially fir a large family of yours.

Kentus: My budget is between N350 and N400k.

Keep it up men.

ksjlar: Yes @adesojiaderemi, that is normally the procedure. In the case that an applicant could not successfully process his/her immigrant visa he is given 1 year to remedy the situation after which there will be no opportunity for recourse.
Anyways we all pray for michy and hope he come out tops. In my own case, I was placed on administrative processing and what I thought will take ages to process took only 2 weeks and then my visa came through the mail. Kemzone2003 if you are still keeping taps on issues here you can shed some light on the issue bro.

No one can tell you authoritatively..go to the nearest NPC Office for enquiries

seal777: Subsequent comments by him shows that he has his mind made up on his perceived solution hence his quick and somewhat harsh comment in relation to the use of the word DEFAULT by kemzone. He should learn to digest second opinion without getting bitter or harsh about it, since he ask for it.

@Seal777..See additional fact below ...they Dont joke with things like this

In 1995, applications for asylum were filed for approximately 200,000 individuals, a number that nearly equals the annual average immigration from all sources throughout U.S. history until 1965. 2 This number was slightly inflated by re-submitted applications and a "one-time" large-scale grant of asylum. Clearly though, the trend in the early 1990s showed a massive acceleration in asylum immigration that could have overwhelmed the system.
The vast majority of the asylum claims were being turned down as groundless or fraudulent, but that had little impact on the overall numbers of individuals remaining in the country. Most claimants whose applications were rejected remained in the country, often disappearing or launching lengthy appeals that dragged on until the claimant found some other means of gaining permanent residency. It was an open secret around the globe that claiming asylum was a means of immigrating to America.
That things had gotten out of hand was acknowledged at all points along the political spectrum. Former N.Y. mayor Ed Koch lamented in TV interviews that all it took to get through immigration at Kennedy airport was "two little words—political refugee."
Even Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) declared "The asylum system has broken down and it’s up to the Congress and the
administration to fix it.INS Commissioner Doris Meisner said in 1994 that "people with no legitimate claim to asylum are applying in record numbers, some brought by smugglers, some using fake documents, and some overstaying the visas granted to them as visitors." Speaking in 1995, she added: "...fraudulent asylum claims [are] routinely used as a backdoor way to enter the United States.In response to the rising number of frivolous asylum claims, extensive regulatory and legislative changes were made in 1995 and 1996. (For a thorough discussion of these changes, see David A. Martin’s 2000 Backgrounder, "The 1995 Asylum Reforms, a Historic and Global Perspective" .)
The 1996 IIRAIRA (Public Law 104-208) included asylum reforms directed at those who show up at U.S. ports of entry without valid admission documents. Today, as before the 1996 reforms, any such individual can claim flight from persecution and, if the claim is successful, change status from "illegal alien" to "asylum seeker." The 1996 law
devolves some of the decision-making about the legitimacy of an asylum claim to lower-level officials at the beginning of the
process instead of deferring to courts at the end of the process.

It also provides for deportation of individuals who do not establish a "credible fear" of returning home during the course of a question and answer interview with an INS asylum officer. Known as "expedited removal," this represents a significant departure from earlier standard operating procedure. It denies the right of appeal through the immigration courts to those who do not make their case in the initial "credible fear" interview under the legal grounds that such individuals have not entered the country and thus do not have all the constitutional rights of a person residing in the United States. Also, those who are deemed eligible to seek asylum may be detained while their claim is sorted out, though only a minority actually wind up in detention. Those who clear the first interviews with an INS asylum officer, like those who arrive legally on a temporary visa and later file for asylum,have the right of appeal through the immigration courts and then through the federal courts. In FY 2000, under expedited removal, 86,000 were removed and another 125,000 voluntarily departed soon after arrival.

So the fact that bet123 left the US Voluntarily does not clear his issues.
Any Yes Answer for questions 40(h) & 40(k) on his DS-230 form will be fully investigated on Administrative processing to verify his past asylum claims and documents.

CONSEQUENCES OF FILING A FRIVOLOUS ASYLUM APPLICATION
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2012 AT 8:25PM BY NISHA V. FONTAINE

Under INA §208(d)(6), an applicant who knowingly makes a frivolous application ‘shall be permanently ineligible for any
benefits’ under the INA, (except for withholding of removal) if the applicant was given notice of the consequences of filing a frivolous asylum application. Therefore, foreign nationals should think twice before filing any such frivolous applications.

Should a foreign national become permanently ineligible under this provision, the foreign national will not be able to immigrate to the U.S. in the future, even if the foreign national later has a legitimate immigrant petition filed on their
behalf.
For those individuals that may have filed questionable asylum applications in the past and are considering seeking U.S.
immigration benefits in the future, they are strongly encouraged to discuss their past asylum claim with a experienced
immigration attorney to determine if the foreign national was indeed found to have filed a frivolous application for asylum
based on the applicable federal regulations and case law precedent. In order to thoroughly review the past claim, the foreign national may need to first file Freedom of Information Act Requests to obtain a copy of their files from the relevant government agencies.
The regulation to determine if an asylum application is frivolous can be found at 8 C.F.R. § 208.20, which reads:
Determining if an asylum application is frivolous. For applications filed on or after April 1, 1997, an applicant is subject to the provisions of section 208(d)(6) of the Act only if a final order by an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals specifically finds that the alien knowingly filed a frivolous asylum
application. For purposes of this section, an asylum application is frivolous if any of its material elements is deliberately fabricated. Such finding shall only be made if the immigration judge or the Board is satisfied that the applicant, during the course of the proceedings, has had sufficient opportunity to account for any discrepancies or implausible aspects of the claim. For purposes of this section, a finding that an alien filed a frivolous asylum application shall not preclude the alien from seeking withholding of removal.
The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) has also set out the framework for analyzing whether a finding by an Immigration Judge (IJ) for a frivolous determination meets the regulations requirements. In re Y-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 151, 154 (BIA 2007) Specifically, the BIA laid out the following requirements:
1. Notice to the alien of the consequences of filing a frivolous application;
2. A specific finding by the Immigration Judge or the Board that the alien knowingly filed a frivolous application;
3. Sufficient evidence in the record to support the finding that a material element of the asylum application was
deliberately fabricated; and
4. An indication that the alien has been afforded sufficient opportunity to account for any discrepancies or implausible
aspects of the claim.

The vast majority of frivolous
asylum claims are currently filed by
“immigration consultants,” or
“notaries.” These “immigration
consultants” gain the trust of
desperate immigrants by speaking
their language and making
unfounded promises, often times
offering lower fees than that of a
licensed attorney. Frivolous asylum
claims are also often filed by
unscrupulous private attorneys, who
instill false hope in immigrants and
file non-meritorious asylum
applications in exchange for hefty
fees, sometimes without the
applicant even knowing what is
contained in the application. To pay
these “immigration consultants” or
attorneys, asylum-seekers typically
borrow heavily from relatives and
friends and must take on payment
plans to pay for the services. When,
as frequently happens, the asylum-
seekers cannot maintain the
payments, the “immigration
consultants” or attorneys drop the
case, leaving the asylum-seeker,
incredibly, even worse off legally
and financially than when they
started. The upshot of all of this is
that asylum-seekers get exploited
and abused, while an incredibly
backlogged immigration court
system is further clogged with non-
meritorious cases. If potential
asylum seekers were able to consult
with competent attorneys, especially
those whose job and mission it is to
serve people living in the low-
income communities where asylum
seekers tend to live, such as
attorneys in legal aid programs, the
asylum seekers would have their
claims thoroughly vetted and they
would be dissuaded from filing any
non-meritorious claims. The result
would be a win-win situation: better
legal advice for people and a
reduced burden on the system

Not that simple ..i rest my case

Don Kool: True and very understandable, however the quality of help one would get is directly proportional to the quality of info available to the helper.

I don't see any harm done anyway. Based on @Kemzone2003's responses and references at least @bet123 can rule out what does not apply to his/her case.
The way I saw it, the conclusion was based on deductive reasoning using available info and not an attempt to discourage or disparage him/her.

@bet123 - They know you've been there so no need to try and hide that. My advice, come clean WHEN/IF asked especially since you later said you complied by leaving willingly. Good luck!

@Kemzone2003 - Being a while. Been waiting to send your congratulations.... . I like the way you research/dig up referable materials on issues. it's very , em.. what's the word? diligent? insightful? resourceful?? ... can't put my finger on the right word now...
Anyway, keep it up. i look to be that studious when i start my masters.

Don..how u dey? Congratulations jare..I have been around as guest to monitor activities ...i dont like making comment on issues with clear instructions...thats why..Go and prosper Don ..

bet123: @ Kemzone:
Thanx for the info.....
yet, I do not see my self fit into any of the Article INA 2012 (a)....and let me tell you why, becaouse, we were not unlawfully present in US not even 1 single day, and let alone...180...or other articles either......
We applied, for asylum while our visas were valid (which we were denied), we were granted SSN and Authorisation to work, we were subject to removal, but we filed a complaint, yet, we left the on our own, we did not file for a waiver but when we consulted the INS they said that, since you are leaving your self, vloutarily, no need for a waiver. Even some days ago, i contacted our lawyeer in US and he reconfirmed that the waiver is not neccassary for our case.
SO, why do you say 2026.... were did you get that from ?
P.s. I don not think that someone can be granted a dv visa or denied ...by default...... everything is done on case to case basis;
by the way were r from ?

For Education purpose only.
Pls read aloud line 1

Asylum and Refuge may be granted to aliens who are already in the United States and are unable to return to their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Asylum can be filed before your case is referred to removal proceedings (also called affirmative application) or after proceedings are initiated by filing of a NTA or Notice to Appear (also called defensive application).
Who can qualify for Asylum or Refuge?
An alien must file an asylum application within one year of arrival in the United States. An asylum application may be filed
later than a year, if conditions in the home country have changed or if the alien's personal circumstances have changed within the past year prior to requesting for asylum and the change of circumstances affected the alien's eligibility for asylum. Furthermore, an alien may be excused from the one year filing deadline if extraordinary circumstances prevented the alien from filing within the one year period after arriving in the United States, so long as asylum application is submitted within a reasonable period of time in light of those circumstances.Things to consider before applying for Asylum or Refuge Status:

1. If you knowingly file a frivolous (fraudulent) application for asylum in the United States you will be barred forever from seeking any relief in this country in the future, in addition to any criminal penalties that could be imposed.

(This is a default rule..by records No Civil War was going in Nigeria in 2004-2007..pls provide information on ur asylum request

The outcome of a successful asylum claim is permanent residence in the United States, a country far wealthier and more stable than the claimant’s home country. It also means instant eligibility for all public assistance programs, an entitlement available to non-refugee immigrants only after receiving citizenship.
As a result of these benefits and the kaleidoscope of choices available to justify an asylum claim, it is not surprising that a global industry has sprung up offering asylum as a means of immigration to the United States. Virtually every ethnic newspaper in America offers the services of asylum and immigration consultants, with unscrupulous operators promising to provide intending asylum seekers with "unique stories of persecution." Freelance immigration consulting is a well-paid and growing field. Political fundraising goes naturally with this line of business, as we learned from America’s most famous immigration consultant Maria Hsia

For most asylum seekers, the asylum process is a matter of getting to the United States on any valid visa and then walking into any of a number of immigration law offices or government-supported charities. U.S. Catholic Charities alone has over 100 offices where a visitor to America with, say, a tourist visa can pay $200 to have an asylum application filled out and receive advice about how to act in a hearing with INS asylum officers. This is the way asylum is done in America today. Under the Refugee Protection Act it will be almost as easy to file an asylum claim for those who simply show up on U.S. shores without valid immigration documents.

bet123: @ Seal 777
thanx .... i guess you are right ....
But yet, i think he is very rude....

@Bet123 Default means that if you buy new television ..it will not show africa magic unless you pay for dstv,them install am,tune am,NEPA no take light...Na that time you go fit watch the tv.U Cant call LG to tell them the tv is not showing africa magic without doing the needful.

Anyway let mě say what you want to hear ..When you get to the embassy ..they will thank you for leaving the US Voluntarily and the CO will issue you a visa.Congratulations in Advance.

bet123: @ Kemzone:

Thanx for the info.....

During ur interview in Lagos you can change ur POE.
Give the CO ur new address or and updated DS-230 form.

NO

adesojiaderemi@:
oh!that is true, family preferance;well I believe bet123 knew his case is kind of complicated before he filled the dv form, backing down now that he wins and also got his 2nd NL is not adding up.

Since they had a boy who is a US Citizen...Patience is the keyword ..They will need to wait for their son to be 21yrs old around 2026 to petition for them as parents of US Citizen...that is the only way out.Too bad a case

adesojiaderemi@:
...but my question is,why were those who came through 6 months visiting visa,over stayed and were later granted immigrant status, though some claimed they got married to a citizen...

They usually get a Good immigration Lawyer to apply for Waiver of inelligibity but that only applies to family preference immigrant visa (spouse,parents and children of US Citizen not DV lottery.

US-VISIT What to Expect When Visiting the
United States
Since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security's US-VISIT program has collected
biometrics—digital fingerprints and photographs—to protect against identity theft and fraud.
Unlike names and dates of birth, which can be changed, biometrics are unique and virtually
impossible to forge.
Biometric procedures apply to international visitors holding a non-U.S. passport or visa .
The information below will help guide you through the biometric collection process as it is used at
U.S. visa-issuing posts and U.S. ports of entry .
Travel Procedures and Biometrics will help you understand US-VISIT, the layer of security that uses biometrics, such as
digital fingerprints, to establish and verify international travelers' identities.
US-VISIT Step-by-Step Entry Guide

When applying for a visa
If you need a visa, you must go to your closest U.S. visa-issuing post for an interview as part of the
application process. During this interview, you can expect a Department of State consular officer
to:
Review your visa application and supporting documents
Collect your biometrics (up to 10 digital fingerprints and a digital photograph)
When you are en route by air and sea
Airline or ship representatives will give you a white Form I-94 (if you are a visa holder) or green
Form I-94W (if you are a Visa Waiver Program traveler) to fill out before you arrive in the United
States. Land border travelers will receive their Form I-94 upon arrival at a port of entry.
When you arrive in the United States
By air and sea:
A Customs and Border Protection officer will guide you through the inspection process. Have your
travel documents ready, such as your passport and Form I-94 or Form I-94W.
The officer will review your travel documents and ask you questions, such as why you are visiting
and how long you will stay.
The officer will scan your fingerprints and take your photograph with a digital camera.
The officer will tell you when you have completed the process.

When departing
When you leave the country, you should return your Form I-94 or Form I-94W to an airline or ship
representative. By returning your form, you have completed the U.S. exit process.
On July 2, 2009, the Department completed a test of biometric exit procedures at Hartsfield-
Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. At this time,
you are no longer required to provide biometrics when you depart the United States from either of
these two airports. You are required to follow the existing departure process by submitting your
Form I-94 or I-94W to an airline or ship representative.
At a date to be announced in the future, all travelers who provide biometrics when entering the
United States will be required to provide biometrics when departing the United States. Learn

(B) ALIENS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT.-
(i) In general.-Any alien (other than an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence) who-
(I) was unlawfully present in the United States for a period of more than 180 days but less
than 1 year, voluntarily departed the United States (whether or not pursuant to section 244(e)) prior
to the commencement of proceedings under section 235(b)(1) or section 240, and again seeks
admission within 3 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal, or
(II) has been unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more, and who again
seeks admission within 10 years of the date of such alien's departure or removal from the United
States, is inadmissible.
(ii) Construction of unlawful presence.-For purposes of this paragraph, an alien is deemed to be
unlawfully present in the United States if the alien is present in the United States after the
expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General or is present in the United States
without being admitted or paroled.
(iii) Exceptions.-
(I) Minors.-No period of time in which an alien is under 18 years of age shall be taken into
account in determining the period of unlawful presence in the United States under clause (I).
(II) Asylees.-No period of time in which an alien has a bona fide application for asylum
pending under section 208 shall be taken into account in determining the period of unlawful
presence in the United States under clause (i) unless the alien during such period was employed
without authorization in the United States.
(III) Family unity.-No period of time in which the alien is a beneficiary of family unity
protection pursuant to section 301 of the Immigration Act of 1990 shall be taken into account in
determining the period of unlawful presence in the United States under clause (I).
(IV) Battered women and children.-Clause (i) shall not apply to an alien who would be
described in paragraph (6)(A)(ii) "if violation of the terms of the alien's nonimmigrant visa" were
substituted for "unlawful entry into the United States" in subclause (III) of that paragraph.
(V) VICTIMS OF A SEVERE FORM OF TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS- Clause (i) shall not apply to
an alien who demonstrates that the severe form of trafficking (as that term is defined in section 103
of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7102)) was at least one central reason for
the alien's unlawful presence in the United States.
(iv) Tolling for good cause.-In the case of an alien who-
(I) has been lawfully admitted or paroled into the United States,
(II) has filed a nonfrivolous application for a change or extension of status before the date
of expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General, and
(III) has not been employed without authorization in the United States before or during
the pendency of such application,the calculation of the period of time specified in clause (i)(I) shall
be tolled during the pendency of such application, but not to exceed 120 days.
(v) Waiver.-The Attorney General has sole discretion to waive clause (i) in the case of an
immigrant who is the spouse or son or daughter of a United States citizen or of an alien lawfully
admitted for permanent residence, if it is established to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that
the refusal of admission to such immigrant alien would result in extreme hardship to the citizen or
lawfully resident spouse or parent of such alien. No court shall have jurisdiction to review a decision
or action by the Attorney General regarding a waiver under this clause.

You will need to research your documents.Your asylum čase might also complicate this issue.The autenticity of your claim in the asylum application will also be a factor to consider for Waiver if any will be given in this čase.

[quote author=omega7ky][/quote]On November 2, 2009, CDC issued the HIV Final Rule removing HIV infection from the definition of communicable disease of public health significance effective January 4, 2010. It removed HIV infection as a ground of ineligibility under 42 CFR 34 and serologic testing for HIV from the scope of the medical examination for immigration purposes. However, for applicants who may benefit from being tested for HIV, the panel physician may counsel the applicant about HIV, and may administer an HIV serologic test, if the applicant consents to the testing. The panel physician must also inform the applicant that they do not have to be tested for HIV and that the results of the HIV serologic testing will be provided to the consular section processing his or her visa application as part of the visa medical examination packet of forms.

Medical Examination forms
All visa applicants must have a completed medical report from a designated medical facility (PDF 90KB) before they are eligible for an interview. Medical reports from other medical centers will not be honored. A Medical Report is valid for six months from the date of the physical. Please ensure that your Medical Report is still valid before you arrive at the port of entry in the United States.

Police Report request from the Nigerian Police
Each visa applicant must have a completed police report for any country in which he or she has lived for more than six months when they were over the age of 16. The packet below should be used for Nigerian police reports. It is the applicant’s responsibility to collect these reports from every country in which he or she has lived.

Diversity Immigrant Visa Information System (DVIS)

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) established a program in 1995 whereby an annual numerical limitation of 55,000 immigrant visas would be awarded each year to nationals of specific “low admission” countries through a process known as the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery Program. The DVIS system is used by the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) personnel to process more than 6 million applications received each year for the Diversity Lottery.

The DVIS system is used by the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) personnel to process more than 6 million applications received each year for the Diversity Lottery. The DV program allows a pre-determined number of citizens of other countries to apply for immigrant visas to the United States. Entries in the Diversity Lottery are processed on a regional basis; the six world regions are Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. Program applicants do not need to have a relative in the United States. The Diversity Lottery is completely separate from the immigrant visa process. Applications for the Diversity program are submitted from all over the world via the Internet using Electronic Diversity Visa (EDV) system, to KCC.

DVIS helps KCC personnel track the enormous number of entries submitted to the Diversity Lottery. Entries are tracked by rank numbers that are assigned based on the order of selection in the lottery.
When the entry period is over, an algorithm within DVIS is run to randomly select the winning entries. Each winning entry will go through the validation process. Once a case is determined to be complete, a selectee packet is sent to the selectee. The packet contains a letter saying that the user has been selected for further consideration in the Diversity Visa program, along with several forms that the selectee must complete to provide more information.

When the forms are sent back, they, along with any other documents that were sent, are assigned to a case file. A data entry user then enters any new information that the applicant provided. If the selectee provided all the necessary information (such as full name, education, occupation), the case is sent to another user for the second quality check to ensure all new information was entered correctly. Once cases pass the second quality check, they are reported to the Visa Office (CA/VO).

The Visa Office then determines cutoff numbers that are used when the visas are allocated. Any case with a lottery rank number below the cutoff numbers will be allocated visas slots for all eligible members. The cases are then scheduled for interviews at the posts based on the number of cases a post can handle per day.

Once a case has been scheduled for an interview, the appointment packet is sent to the applicant. The appointment packet contains a letter saying that the case has been sent to the relevant post for final processing and detailing the interview date and time that has been scheduled. All forms and case information are then sent to the post via electronic data transfer.

PLEASE ..PLEASE...AND PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS INFORMATION..VERY VITAL

HOW THE IMMIGRANT NUMERICAL CONTROL SYSTEM WORKS..

At the beginning of each month, the Visa Office (VO) receives a report from each consular post listing totals of documentarily qualified immigrant visa applicants in categories subject to numerical limitation. Cases are grouped by foreign state chargeability/preference/priority date. No names are reported. During the first week of each month, this documentarily qualified demand is tabulated.

VO subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations specified by the INA into monthly allotments. The totals of documentarily qualified applicants which have been reported to VO, are compared each month with the numbers available for the next regular allotment. The determination of how many numbers are available requires consideration of several of variables, including: past number use; estimates of future number use and return rates; and estimates of Citizenship and Immigration Service demand based on cut-off number movements. Once this is done, the cut-off are established and numbers are allocated to reported applicants in order of their priority DV Case Numbers, the lower case number first.

If there are sufficient numbers in a particular category to satisfy all reported documentarily qualified demand, the category is considered "Current". For example: If the monthly allocation
target is 3,000 and we only have demand for 1,000 applicants the category can be "Current”.Whenever the total of documentarily qualified applicants in a category exceeds the supply of numbers available for allotment for the particular month, the category is considered to be "oversubscribed" and a visa availability cut-off date is established. The cut-off is the priority Case number of the first documentarily qualified applicant who could not be accommodated for a visa number. For example: If the monthly target is 3,000 and we have demand for 8,000 applicants, then we would need to establish a cut-off so that only 3,000 numbers would be allocated. In this case, the cut-off would be the DV Case number of the 3,001st applicant.

Only persons with a DV case lower than a cut-off are entitled to allotment of a visa number. VO attempts to establish the cut-off dates for the following month on or about the 8th of each
month. The dates are immediately transmitted to consular posts and Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), and also published in the Visa Bulletin and online at the CA Web site (www.travel.state.gov). Visa allotments for use during that month are transmitted to consular posts. CIS requests visa allotments for adjustment of status cases only when all other case processing has been completed.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE SYSTEM AND CLARIFICATION OF SOME FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD POINTS:

Applicants entitled to immigrant status become documentarily qualified at their own initiative and convenience. By no means has every applicant with a DV case number lower than a prevailing cut-off DV case number been processed for final visa action. On the contrary, visa allotments are made only on the basis of the total applicants reported documentarily qualified each month. Demand for visa numbers can fluctuate from one month to another, with the inevitable impact on cut-off DV Case Number.

If an applicant is reported documentarily qualified but allocation of a visa number is not possible because of a visa availability cut-off Case Number, the demand is recorded at VO and an allocation is made as soon as the applicable cut-off number advances beyond the applicant's DV Case number. There is no need for such applicant to be reported a second time.

Visa numbers are always allotted for all documentarily qualified applicants with a priority numbers before the relevant cut-off, as long as the case had been reported to VO in time to be included in the monthly calculation of visa availability. Failure of visa number receipt by the overseas processing office could mean that the request was not dispatched in time to reach VO for the monthly allocation cycle, or that information on the request was incomplete or inaccurate.

Allocations to Foreign Service posts outside the regular monthly cycle are possible in emergency or exceptional cases, but only at the request of the office processing the case. Note that should retrogression of a cut-off be announced, VO can honor extraordinary requests for additional numbers only if the applicant's priority is lower than the retrogressed cut-off.

Not all numbers allocated are actually used for visa issuance; some are returned to VO and are reincorporated into the pool of numbers available for later allocation during the fiscal year. The rate of return of unused numbers may fluctuate from month to month, just as demand may fluctuate. Lower returns mean fewer numbers available for subsequent reallocation. Fluctuations can cause cut-off number movement to slow, stop, or even retrogress.
Retrogression is particularly possible near the end of the fiscal year as visa issuance approaches the annual limitations.

Per-country limit: The annual per-country limitation of 7% is a cap, which visa issuances to any single country may not exceed. Applicants compete for visas primarily on a worldwide basis. The country limitation serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the annual limitation by applicants from only a few countries. This limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however.

Applicability of Section 202(e): When visa demand by documentarily qualified applicants from a particular country exceeds the amount of numbers available under the annual numerical limitation, that country is considered to be oversubscribed. Oversubscription may require the establishment of a cut-off number which is lower than that which applies to a particular visa category on a worldwide basis. The prorating of numbers for an oversubscribed country follows the same percentages specified for the division of the worldwide annual limitation among the preferences. (Note that visa availability cut-off number for oversubscribed areas may be lower than worldwide cut-off number, if any, for the respective preferences.)
