According to the NR, there were estimated 8,000 lads, and half of them 
are out-of-status, so they may not be able to compete. 

Out-status includes: dependent visa (F-2, J-2, etc) with an out-of-status
principal, who was no longer a F-1, J-1 holder; dependent but with 
independent visa (F-1, J-1, etc), those would not be considered out-of-status
just because their spouse or parents were out-of-status, but would be if
they lost their own F-1, J-1 status.

We have cases that lads with dependent visa from out-of-status principals
got interviewed and approved right here in the States. So, the competing 
lads includes the DED lads. That means 4,000 estimation is the minimum. 
Even so, there are not enough visa numbers to accommandate 4,000 lads
this year.
