Important: A case number being eligible for interview for a given month does not mean that the case concerned will be interviewed during the month in question at all cost. It may well be; it may also not be. In addition to the case number being eligible for interview, other factors contribute to determining when the case concerned will actually be interviewed.
Cases Not Yet Eligible
Cases whose case numbers are the same or higher than their region’s cut-off shown above are not eligible for October interviews. Applicants concerned should consider their region’s cut-off number when the next visa Bulletin is published (anytime from September 7th to 15th) to ascertain their status. The cut-offs to be revealed in that Visa Bulletin will concern NOVEMBER 2024, the second month of interviews in the DV 2025 Program.
The Visa Bulletin
The Visa Bulletin is published every month. It is by means of said publication that Diversity Visa applicants get to know the month when their case will be eligible for interview.

All the best to DV 2025 applicants!
