"Dreams are usually my Plan A, then I found the DV lottery and realised you need a Plan B, C and D too"
All of a sudden I'm getting this gut feeling that we (My fiance and I) will not be selected this year.. sigh![]()

Dv 2014 not selected
Dv 2015 ????
I have the opposite - and it's scaring the #^%$ out of me! I keep looking at my husband and thinking "will we have enough time to organise everything?" The good thing is he already has a job over there, so that's not the worry (even though I am the applicant, I am sure that is helpful). My biggest panic would be a low number, and an interview this year.
Bahamas, go grab a snack - I think it's just hunger down there, not a bad result

I'm wondering, does this mean every remaining selectee will have to go for their interviews in June Or some could end up getting July interview dates????
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11: v24
I think due to the May results goof up many July successful entrants have not returned their documentation because either many of them may not be aware of the July re-draw OR other reasons (lost conf #, etc) and thus may not even know that they are winners.
I say this because I saw this strange section in this Visa bulletin, which was never included in previous years bulletin. So my guess is that the all regions are current possibly due to the fact that many successful entrants have not returned their documentation and thus they are not left with many people to be processed.
Also remember that this was the first time, no letters were mailed, and all was contingent upon retaining your confirmation #. It is also likely that a big number of entrants have not recorded their confirmation nos, lost them or thrown away after May results. It is probably all a theory with no way to prove, but this section below from the visa bulletin seems to suggest that outcome.
E. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR DIVERSITY VISA (DV)2012 ENTRANTS
Successful entrants are encouraged to send in their required documents to the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) immediately, so that an interview appointment at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or consulate can be scheduled in the near future. In order for an appointment to be scheduled with either a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, entrants must first submit the Form DSP-122 and Form DS-230 to KCC. Embassies and Consulates only have a limited number of appointments each month, including September, for DV applicants, so it is vital that successful entrants mail these documents to KCC very soon. There is no guarantee that a successful entrant who submits all of the required documentation to KCC will either be given an appointment or issued a DV.
There are several reasons why successful entrants should submit their documents to KCC now. First, there are 50,000 DVs available for DV-2012. Once all of the 50,000 DV visas have been issued for DV 2012, the program will end. In addition, because no more than 3,500 individuals from a single country may receive DVs in a given year, once 3,500 from an individual country have received a DV, other selectees from that country will no longer be eligible to receive a DV. Finally, U.S. Embassies and Consulates only have six months left to issue visas to eligible applicants in the DV 2012 program. Successful entrants cannot be issued a DV after September 30, 2012. Participants are reminded to check the status of their DV entry through Entrant Status Check www.dvlottery.state.gov, using the confirmation numbers they received when they initially submitted their applications.
Hello guyz....., Pls sorry my asking, Do u people ever sleep atall? I notice by 12am, 1am, 2am etc, reseach are still going on, postings are still made. God, i hope we dont have Witches and Wizards in this forum. I really admire ur strength and efforts, but men, i cant stay that late. If i do that, i will end up sleeping in the office the next day.

Our forum family is all round the world Ovicity
I'm in Australia of course and I am also currently on holidays from work (my last week!) and usually study quite late into my evening, so my posts can be during the day, around dinner time (it is my 6pm Wednesday now) or my 1am if I am doing research! lol Then we have slash-dot in the UK, Bahamaschick in the Bahamas I am assuming, and of course our African forumites. Some of us are already in the USA, and some are from Europe.
Have I covered all our places so far?
Such a multicultural forum we have!

@Bahamaschick you have heard what Tiwanna said,don't loose hope yet i know its about a lottery which one is not suppose to put all hope but at the same time it is good for one to keep wishing him or herself good luck even if one don't win for this year but surely win for next year cos life is all about one step at a time or precisely like a ladder that we climb.Good luck house.
My bro this thread has gone beyond forum but now a family.We don't have a choice than to keep the thread going even if selected or not selected its part of us now we keep it going and its the members in this thread that are keeping this thread going and that's why we got evny by other threads.So Keep the good work going guys.Kudos to @Mele for creating this thread DV2013.

@Schoolboy, True talk bro, but i hope another DV2013 thread will not be opened, cos i notice from previous years, once result are released, winners tends to open different threads on similar topics, knowing fully well that there's an active one already in motion. This they do, thereby making relevant informations difficult to get. I want to believe by now we should know how to cordinate ourselves so as to make things easy for everybody. Just my opinion, no offence please. All the best guyz as we all aproach JUDGEMENT DAY! One Love.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading for a few months now. Firstly I just want to say that you guys are great to each other. It's awesome to see the support stick around after the results come from people with both good and bad news.
Basically this is my first time entering. Living in America has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, but I only turned 21 last year and only found out about this in time to apply last year. I think the amount I want to win is selfish, because I know there are many people applying that are in far worse situations than I am (I live in Perth, Australia and have a reasonably well paying job) however I can never lose this feeling that I don't belong here and need something else. I'm willing to give up my job and the money I get to live in a shared over priced apartment somewhere in NYC on a significant lower wage - my family call me crazy, but I guess everybody else knows the feeling of wanting the "American Dream"
So enough about me :P..i actually have a legit question. My knowledge about the DV Lottery improved significantly since I started reading these forums however there is one thing i'm still confused about. When people talk about "current numbers"..for example, the numbers current in October are: ... . What does this actually mean? And the number that is issued, is that given as soon as you find out your successful, or is it once you have sent off the inital documents to KCC and then they give you the number so you know when your interview is?
I'm sure you guys are sick of answering these stupid questions over and over, but I appreciate it anyone could help.
Best of luck to everybody on May 1st. I hope a large number of us (of course me included :P) are successful.
Same boat as you! I'm 20, also from Australia (Gold Coast). Everyone thinks I'm nuts for wanting to live there. I can't help it. I love it. My step dad is from Texas, I've been over there countless times. I love it more and more each time. This is my second year in the DV Lottery, third "try" I guess if you count May 1st & July 15th 2011 haha. Hoping for success come May 1st!Good luck!
