Hello @BritSimon - I think that a video on the reason why a case may be disqualified and hence generate a hole/gap ahead of the announcement may be a good idea. It may have the added benefit of getting people to do a better job during the submission phase in October/November. It would be good!
I'm just thinking: the highest numbers in DV 23 are 35xxx in EU and 65xxx in AF. There are 50-55k visas available, there are approximately 120k winners (+ -). If so, there are large holes between case numbers and 60-70k of DV24 in EU may be like 35k in DV23. Can it be this way?...
After 10 years of applying , finally not selected again 😁😁 IN 2019 MY submission won ,which is for my gf (her 1st time) Atfer she won , she moved without me .. can you feel how lucky i am 😁
I really don't man. I've been applying for the last 5 years. Every year I'm hoping for a different result, May results come...not selected. I guess I have to console myself that this lottery is random selection. I'll still apply again and again.
Hello BritSimon, thank you so much for your support throughout my process! I arrive in the US this coming week. I wanted to ask you, should I be nervous about the CBP officer interview at the port of entry? I bring all my documents, including my passport with the visa, obviously, and the sealed envelope they gave me at the consulate. I even paid already for my green card to be made once I complete my first entry to the US. I am still a little nervous, though. Should I be? Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to answer my questions!
Thank you Brit, THis is our 3rd attempt and i had totally written it off and applied again for 2025 just in case. We are 2024OC26XX family of 5 in Auckland NZ. Hoping for big gaps this year if case numbers are 45XX and up.

Hi in 2021 I followed your advice and instructions and I won with my case number was 45k and for a reason I don't know I have not been scheduled. Yet I didn't give up I thank God I have been selected with 10k for 2024.. . Please I seriously needs your advice personally to go through successfully this time around.. God bless you and your channel
@BritSimon how and when are the case numbers generated. Some confuse it with the confirmation numbers and how it impacts one’s chances of being selected.
The case number is randomly assigned to every case in the early part of the draw process. In fact that is how the draw process works. Every entry within each region gets a case number (rank order) and the system then sorts the entries lowest case numbers first. The lowest case numbers are the initial selectees, then holes are created and eventually the remaining selectees are announced.
Thank you @BritSimon for the clarification, a lot of folks get confused with this and claim if you submit a late entry then you will have a high case number which increase your chances of winning so happy that you have provided such a clear and concise response. We will be more than excited to host you on our UA-cam channel at your convenience to help educate our community on the DV visa application and process
Hi bright thank you for your helpful information, please i need clarity on this According to ceac data, there are 5505 cases before and 27637 after me in the AF region. That yields approximately 9140 people before and 45888 after me. And my case number is at nvc since December but I have not yet received the 2nl will I get a chance to be interviewed,since there is a slow movement in the Accra embassy, and if I will get interviewed when should I be expecting my 2nl?
Hello @BritSimon - One question, what if from some small country there are a lot of entrants with high case numbers? Does that mean that a lot of people will not get chance to go to interview because of the high case numbers? We got EU41XXX and I guess that number is too high even there are a lot of holes in DV2024...
2024 EU 33200 I just heard today about the case no. predictions and got devastated- I applied from North Macedonia, and that’s part of Europe… and people are telling me it’s one of the last numbers to be called for interview (if ever). I only started panicking when I saw 2023 bulletin delegating 32000 as last number for September… But hope dies last, so I’ll be waiting for the September 2024 bulletin to give up 😄

Lots of people "won" their DV lottery this year because of two things happening at the same time: applying without a passport and huge fee increase this summer. The fee increase will have a severe impact on the number of applicants willing to proceed. Especially in Africa. The family of 4 has to be ready to pay 10+k.

In the first place you shouldn't have registered because you don't qualify either by education or work experience. remember, there are some specific jobs that can qualify you. Not every work can qualify you.

Hello Simon, thank you for the infos provided, really helpfull. I was wondering if you could help me in one question. Briefly, we have been selected and my fiance will get her masters degree (end of June maybe July), but she has a bachelor degree already. is it worth it to wait for the certificate or should we hand in the ds-260 now? will there be any option to modify later? thank you regards, Tom
If the selectee has a high school diploma equivalent, then the degrees don't matter. If they don't have that, then there's no guarantee the degree(s) will be accepted instead, although they might be. You're supposed to have 2 years of professional work experience if you don't have the high school diploma. But proving the work experience thing is tricky and almost everyone who has a college degree has a high school diploma equivalent too, so it's best to just get a copy of that and use it for DV cases.

Hello I am the winner of the 2024 lottery, but my case number is about 23000. Now, should I wait for the next case process or should I register for the 2025 lottery?
Some numbers for very small countries do not seem to make sense. The visa lottery is something you must keep tabs on year by year, or else that small window of opportunity escapes you. To imagine almost a 1000 persons from some small island waiting around for this particular window raises interesting questions. And added to that not everyone has constant access to computers (personally I find mobiles a pain to do any serious work). Plus there is need to make sure that photos are done professionally or else it does not upload.. I see numbers like 600 pretty high for populations of 100,000 plus people. This raises a lot of questions.
The numbers are not seperate by country, they are within a region. So a person from a small country in AF region could have number 2024AF1 or number 2024AF110000.
@@BritSimon There are stats where I saw every country and the number of entrants. It is organised by regions, but all countries are listed for their specific region for a particular fiscal year. But can't seem to remember the link or the exact search words that bought me to that link.

@@BritSimon thanks for your time ; if I try to get work experience certification is it gonna save me ?? I’m so worried
In the first place you shouldn't have registered because you don't qualify either by education or work experience. remember, there are some specific jobs that can qualify you. Not every work can qualify you.
Hello, my case number 39*** in Asia is it huge case number or it’s ok, and I have chance to get an interview? Thank you 🙏 😊
Im filling DS260 form I face with the error .
Your request cannot be processed at this time.

Greetings from Cameroon, Brit I am really worried about my case dv2023, AF359XX. I submitted 15th August I understand i was late and have not received 2nl. Do u think I stand a chance to get my 2nl?
@njanji kate have you received it now?

Hello Britsimon, Thank you so much for the wonderful and exhaustivr discussion. I was almost losing hope because my case number is 2024AF120XXX and I don't know yet whether it is a high case. Am just praying so that am considered.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi Patrick, where do u come from ?
@@elbachirUmoh From Uganda
AF120XXX is to high u have little or no chance

I wasn't selected.. from Uganda 🇺🇬 but I will try this year for the Dv 2025. Kudo's to those who won 👌
Reply to this tweet in October,as you make your application,missed out on this one too🇰🇪

Hi !
I am selected for dv2023 and my case number is AS23xxx . I have not received my second letter yet and I want to reopen my ds260 form because I want to make some corrections. My question is , if I reopen my ds260 form right now will it delay my application to process? Will my visa gets refuse if I reopen my ds260 form ? My case is right now with KCC and they have not processed.
Can you update us whether you have been interviewed or received your greencard?
@britsimon I keep getting this same error The information entered is not valid. This is the third day getting same error even after copy pasting all the information. Wonder if there are others experiencing the same
I am very confident to say this is a mistake you are making, not a system problem.
Does anybody know if I need to change the interview location, do I need to do that before I get interview scheduled or after I get my interview date? Does it affect or delay the form 260 submission?
I got a question - let's say I applied for dv lottery and I got married between may and appointed embassy visit. Will my spouse also get a green card?
Thank you so much!
Thanks you very much sir
Hi Simon, I was one of the winners of dv2021 eu80xx and as we missed the chance back than me and my family have been applying year after year and my dad won again this year he is a eu430xx do you think we got any chance this year ?
As the video explains, we don't know enough yet to make predictions. We need to wait until we at least know how many are selected.
Hi, Thanks for your amazing videos. I have 2 questions please, (1) How long does it take from the moment you are told you passed the interview till the moment you are allowed to enter the US? (2) Once you receive the green card is there any limit of time to enter to the us without losing the green card?
You can enter as soon as you have the visa, and MUST enter before the visa expires (6 months after the medical).
@@BritSimon Great, thanks for your fast answer . My case number is EU10XXX. What are my chances of actually being scheduled for an interview and when?
@@cloudemotive you are going to get it... And the interview will most likely be this year. My case number is EU548xx, so i have absolutely no chance 😢 previous years there was a cutoff at eu32000
@@IvanaTestuje You have chance, because it's very likely that there are a lot of holes this year

Yes
I was selected with Cn EU44***. My embassy is in Paris, can you tell me about the waiting time for visa processing? Thank you
It will be based on your case number, and for now we can't predict much except to say it won't be before next year.
First comment😂😂 winner
Hello, Simon! Thank you for information. My case number EU54*** . I am from Kyrgyzstan but resident of UAE. What do you think about which embassy with be better for me Abu Dhabi or Kyrgyzstan?

Hello BritSimon, my case number is AS26xxx, but I am F-1 international student and currently in the USA. If I do adjustment of status, will case number impact me? In worst case scenario, if my case is rejected, will it impact me when I get my OPT?
Thank you
Many people do aos in the US, if you have never been out of status nor worked illegally you should be fine. However you can't submit right now and it has its own timeline of submission
@@jeylohnen Hi Juliet,
When can I submit it? Do you know the timeline or do you have any link of the website? Thank you!

Hi Simon , I am from Kyrgyzstan, my case nu 28xxx, I am working in Dubai, if I will be invited for interview- how advance they inform
When will dv 2024 visa bulletin be available?
Hello Simon, thank you for the infos provided, really helpfull. I was wondering if you could help me in one question. Briefly, we have been selected and my fiance will get her masters degree (end of June maybe July), but she has a bachelor degree already. is it worth it to wait for the certificate or should we hand in the ds-260 now? will there be any option to modify later?
thank you
regards,
Tom
If the selectee has a high school diploma equivalent, then the degrees don't matter. If they don't have that, then there's no guarantee the degree(s) will be accepted instead, although they might be. You're supposed to have 2 years of professional work experience if you don't have the high school diploma. But proving the work experience thing is tricky and almost everyone who has a college degree has a high school diploma equivalent too, so it's best to just get a copy of that and use it for DV cases.
Hello Britsimon, please i am a winner of the lottery for 2024.
But when I want to feeling my Ds 260, "the page is replying that the case number entered is currently unavailable

Hola Simon. Podrías hacer una explicación como ésta de la región SA? Por favor.
You would need to be more clear about which year and so on.

Hello
I am the winner of the 2024 lottery, but my case number is about 23000. Now, should I wait for the next case process or should I register for the 2025 lottery?
Some numbers for very small countries do not seem to make sense. The visa lottery is something you must keep tabs on year by year, or else that small window of opportunity escapes you. To imagine almost a 1000 persons from some small island waiting around for this particular window raises interesting questions. And added to that not everyone has constant access to computers (personally I find mobiles a pain to do any serious work). Plus there is need to make sure that photos are done professionally or else it does not upload.. I see numbers like 600 pretty high for populations of 100,000 plus people. This raises a lot of questions.
The numbers are not seperate by country, they are within a region. So a person from a small country in AF region could have number 2024AF1 or number 2024AF110000.
@@BritSimon There are stats where I saw every country and the number of entrants. It is organised by regions, but all countries are listed for their specific region for a particular fiscal year. But can't seem to remember the link or the exact search words that bought me to that link.
@@chilray4706 This was published in the August VB for last year. It listed selectees for all eligible countries.
But still, what Simon said is correct. The numbers are by region and not by country.
@BritSimonthanks for opening our eyes, you are so helpful, Awesome!
Now am Dv2024 selectee with my case number at 120000 and in Africa region, do I stand a chance or I must give up hope
What about eu 24*** case number?
i won dv 2024 from africa & my case number is around 9k when do u think will i be able to be interviewed please say sth
I lost my confirmation number and have been trying to retrieve it but I’m not receiving any email containing my confirmation number however when I place forgot my confirmation number and filling out all the information correctly & hit submit, right above forgot my confirmation number there is a number that appears. I have tried so many times and the number doesn’t change so I guess it could be the number only that all the Survey I did after I lost my number says that you only receive the confirmation number which you lost through an email. Any helpful info would be highly appreciate. Thank you 🙏🏾
They never send an email for a lost confirmation number. It is shown directly on the webpage.
Hu @BritSimon. My question is:
I am a winner of Green card 2024.
But my case number is 39 000.
And the hugest case number in Europe is more than 85,000. People say that I have no chance because my case number is very high. So what do you think about that. Thank you very much

The case number in Africa for example means the sequence of all Africans that win or just the winners in your country.
For examle im number 100k is that means that 102k and 99k are from the same country morroco or they may not they are from another African country please answer 🙏
So far I’ve seen 66xxx for Europe being the highest. Does anybody have higher than this?
