I'm of a similar thinking. Australia has so much to love, but having lived in the States for a couple of years off and on, and my husband working in Silicon Valley, it's likely to be a good choice for us. If it is a no this year, we will just stay here and keep working hard. I have a double degree as well as work so I'm busy to make the time pass lol. We will just apply again this year. Another year, another application, life will move on :)

Q

but I am still positive about this year :)

It is quite odd that all regions will be current in June.http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5692.html l guess DOS are willing to give the 2% a chance to proceed.

Or maybe DOS just wan to issue ALL visas because of that lawsuit... Once a visa is issued, hey can't take them back so maybe i is to cut the plaintif any last chances as slim as it was because they are appealing... Because if DOS somehow lose, they won't have any visa to give the plaintif so at the end, the judge will only slap DOS head.

You have a point.But also DOS doesnt issue all 50k visas.So the 2% have a chance,its a very small number approximately 440 visas.

DOS lawyers in recent replies/briefs said that only 2% of the May 1st winners were random.These are the people who won n dint apply on the 1st day.Those that applied on the 2nd day onwards.

I thought they deliberatly picked more winners than visas to make sure they do issue all visas, aside from the ones reserved fro Nicaragua?

well, since they voided the may 1st results, I don't think they will go back picking winners, maybe they want to give former selectees who are not selected on may 1st 2012 a chance, but i do not think they will pick only the 2%, because during the first day, there were also some random winner. removing 1st day applicants from the process is a violation of the law

someone said in another thread that in fact not even half of the visa (DV1) are issued each year so maybe dos wants to get done with that DV2012 thing & give may 1st selectees who didn't file the lawsuit a chance... & who are not selected on may 1st 2012... Thoses who didn't file the lawsuit because american would be too proud to help someone who sue them (like everyones), & i recall reading aboutt a canadian resident applying for a tourist visa & got denied because he was part of an online petition (about 22k...)
 
Happy Easter guys! I am back, hopefully I will be selected again come May 1st. It was hard to get over the DV2012 fiasco. As for the 2% be reinstated,I think they are only clutching at straws. Just 23 days away from the result,how time flies.Wish everyone of us goodluck.
 
Come May 1st
