In dv14 we have AF170000 while AF have 62000 selected including family members.

So don't worry CNs have holes in between.

Case numbers are not all consecutively filled

Every entry drawn originally by KCC is assigned a case number

KCC draws a lot more than 125k entries to get to 125k selectees...because a bunch of those get disqualified - photos wrong, duplicate entries etc. so you are left with non-consecutive case numbers. Hence what vladek calls "holes".
