Where these numbers came from
travel.state.gov blocks automated access, so these were taken from secondary coverage (Secondary immigration coverage, Law firm bulletins) and are shown marked rather than hidden. A reviewer confirms each figure against the official bulletin before it loses this label. Open the September 2026 bulletin (opens in a new tab)
A rank at or below the cut-off means numbers in your range are being processed. It is not an approval, an interview date, or a visa — and DV eligibility still ends with the program year.
