Diversity Visas: Visa numbers.

[Misty2 0]

Hi, I'm happy to say that I won the DV 2014 lottery in the Europe section, but I'm not so happy to see the high number of 44,xxx. What are my chances and when am I supposed to go for my interview? As I can see only the numbers up to 33,000 are current now for the 2013 FY. How will they ever manage to reach 44,000 next year?

Thanks

Oh okay so reading this made me a little sad I'm an Aussie; judging from last year with a case number in the 2300's I am unlikely to get a visa?

Correct. I am also a 2014 "winner". And from my research I didn't find one year that they actually issued all the visas. This means that if you are CURRENT, you are most probably OK (as long as you complete all your documentation on time).

Your case number is your DV case number just leaving out all the middle zeroes

example 2014EU243 or 2014EU9852
