DV2015 Numbers Exhausted

[LinAus 0]

Has anyone else heard that the 50,000 cap has been met for ALL regions and that no other green cards will be available as of July 17, 2015? I completed my DS260 in September, number came up for July 1 allocations, sent off for DOS receipt beginning of July and am ready to send in I485. Just concerned that if I send off my I485 with the processing fee, they will keep the check, even though cap has been met. Thanks

From what I saw of the press release it's shoddy wording. They expect all visas to be used up by the end of the fiscal year, in my interpretation. I certainly would not want a 29 September interview though....

they won't schedule new interviews if they have no visa numbers available right? where is the press release you're talking about?

My reading is - they have scheduled what they think are enough interviews to get them to their quota.

Got it. Yes, after reading the whole document I think you're right.
