September VB - DV14 Last Chapter

best of:

Q: Will this have any impact on the Diversity Visa program in September?
Immigrant visa processing (including diversity visas) continues and remains a high priority. The Department expects to have used all numbers for DV-2014 when the program year ends on September 30, 2014.
 
Europe will be issued visas 16600-17500. Does not already exist changes in quotas.
I do not see other than the State Department posts petitions calling explain the increase in the number of winners. You swallow it? We need to create and reinforce a collective letter petition. It is necessary to punish the perpetrators. In 2015, they did not slow down. let's stop this mess in 2016,2017,2018.

They are like a clockwork man! I looked at the 18.07.14 data and I estimated 1587 to be issued at the end of August!

If they only would have been as good with the initial selection and their estimates :rolleyes:

Sloner you do realise that you are talking about US visa lottery program and not Soviet Union visa lottery ? Nobody is going to be sent to a work camp in Siberia for that, nobody is going to be punished for that.

"Selection does not guarantee a visa as there are more selectees that available visas" - this means that they can select 20 000 000 people and you cannot do anything about it. They clearly say it on the selection letter and they have been saying this for years.

Is it fair ?? No, of course not but they have their butts covered by the official rules and that is pretty much it. People have the right to complain but I doubt there will be any significant outcome.

Sloner, in 2012 it was worse since they cancelled the whole draw, and of course they got away with it!

Sloner, I understand you're upset. But you know exactly what happened. Someone got cr@pped on from a dizzy height after 2012, for allowing visas to go unused. The point of the exercise is to allocate 50k DVs a year. Everyone is told selection does not guarantee a visa. Therefore, all the incentive was - and remains - for KCC to over select in preference to under selecting. I understand people here are disappointed and upset and I am desperately sorry for those people here who have missed the cutoff. But one needs to understand it from their perspective too.

Let's not forget they cancelled the draw because they discovered it had been done in contravention of the law regulating the lottery. Maybe Russia would just have kept it quiet and gone with the original selection so as not to embarrass themselves, but KCC did the right thing according to law and according to ethics (because the people who entered did so on the basis of a random draw not a date-specific entry one).

In Russia they say about such "On the fence's Х... written, it does not mean that you can believe that." I just want an explanation. The penalty is the next after the explanation.

In Russia in 2011 would have done as well. Results canceled. In 2014, this would not have happened.
In the United States a mess. They are not able to calculate 2 * 2.Unlike the English and the English-speaking Americans in Russia the best education and the best specialists. Fools to work in such an institution would not take.

No Sloner, you change the story as it fits and suits you. Again, I'm sorry you missed out on a visa. But I have no doubt that if you had made the cut off you would not be getting so high and mighty and angry on behalf of the ones who did not. In any case, if Russia is as superior as you claim, surely you wish to remain there anyway.

If I understand you correctly what you're saying is that in Russia just because an official government agency says something doesn't mean you can believe it? Well.... Welcome to real democracy.

Hi....if that number is correct (one hundred and sixteen thousand) then I am afraid the number will not become current and you cannot get a visa. African numbers are cut off at 81100 for DV2014. I am sorry.
