"US government is incompetent-->trying to overthrow the Govt. " WAT

This is not possible. F1 status is non-immigrant.

October 6th, around 2:30 PM EST. I wasn't selected.

I'd just like to add that even if you were born in an ineligible country, if both your parents were, at the time of your birth, not permanent residents of the ineligible country but were citizens of an eligible one, then you can still enter as a native of that country.

Whether or not you're allowed in (and for how long) is still at the discretion of the CBP agent. You can be turned away with no justification on the officer's part. Every time you enter, you have to overcome immigrant presumption; not something that's very easy to do for a young, single college...

Don't want to be at the mercy of an arrogant moron with a fetish for power every time I want to visit friends and family.

thank you very much

can someone please direct me to the blog? I tried searching for it but came up empty-handed. Thank you.

65%? Really? Where are you getting that number from?

bear in mind that your moronic contributions do little to dissuade individuals that have carefully assessed their situation and determined that opportunities in the US are infinitely better than in their own home countries.

Lolumad? What mystical powers of deduction led you to the conclusion that I'm not college educated?

First grade grammar and spelling aside, your post demonstrates a laughable lack of logical reasoning. Why should I feel ashamed for wanting out of a country that has provided me very little in terms of educational and employment opportunities? Also, how can a country hate an individual? Pick up...

How is filling out a FREE application that takes less than 10 minutes to complete a waste of time? Yes, the odds are overwhelmingly against being selected, but in the off chance that someone is selected, that person's life gets a major upgrade (presumably, anyway. I know mine would). There is no...

Since we're stating the obvious, I woke up this morning and ate breakfast.

It's all relative. No sane person is envisioning a utopia.

I'm wondering if I would be eligible for the DREAM ACT if it gets passed (yes, I'm quite aware that it most probably won't). I have been in and maintained legal status since I arrived at the age of 14. After graduating with a bachelor's I promptly returned to my home country, for fear of...

It's on the official website. Apparently there was a glitch that caused a nonrandom selection (where 90% of the winners were selected from entrants during the first two days).

I'd love to know the answer to this as well.

Not that I agree with the preferential/case vs case assessment s/he proposed, but how exactly does a US diploma open any doors immigration-wise? It can certainly be helpful as far as graduate/post-graduate education is concerned, but I'm not seeing the "huge plus" part.

I can't deny that my life would be considerably easier were I a permanent resident of this country, but to pin my hopes on ~0.1% is madness, pure and simple.
