But they continue to issue their bulletins? Sorry, I am confused. I thought they were still issuing DVs at this time. So basically, nothing us happening until the ban is lifted.

If you look at the bulletins (which cover a huge amount of other visas than DV and have other things like dates for filing) you’ll notice the DV numbers did not move during the ban.

As expected, I didn't get selected. But out of curiosity, does anyone know when the entrant, selectee statistics gets released?

It will be in a future visa bulletin as an informative section at the end, not sure because of the delay in release this year but maybe August visa bulletin.
 
@SusieQQQ but it did in May 2020 though and in June 2020. (And now everything is current) I only see that it didn't move between March and April. So does that mean embassies reopened and are now issuing visas again?

look at issue date of the VBs vs the new numbers in them.
no, embassies are not reopened, did you look at the link I posted above for you which contained information on both embassy closure and the visa bans?
 
sorry, it seems that I don't know what to read here. Where can I find the issue date on the VBs?

Hello everyone!
For the 5th year in a row, no luck!
The only good side this year is that I could teach the site instantly and check 2 applications (hubby, and mine). Did they finally managed to support the load?

What about Pierre, Puda,...?
Good luck everyone

Not selected once again but its a lottery with very low chances of winning and not putting lot of hopes on this.

I have no idea where to ask for help so I’m very sorry that I’m writing here ):
When I try to check if I or my mother won it says “information is not valid” even though I have screenshots saved on my computer of our applications so there is no way I’m writing something wrong. So I’m not sure how you’re supposed to fill it in now? Let’s say with the name how you’re supposed to write the name?(I’m gonna use a fake one)
is it SMITH, JOHN or
JOHN, SMITH or
SMITH JOHN or
JOHN SMITH
I mean it says to use punctuation but when it keeps saying “information is invalid” I don’t know what’s right or wrong anymore. Our Confirmation Numbers are correctly written I always throughly a few times if I wrote it right, the date of birth is obviously correct too. Please help me out with how am I supposed to write our names? Thank you very much!! Or if you know what type of problem this is that says “information is invalid” please let me know!!:)

the page just asks for last name, not full name.
 
Not selected for 19th time. I guess twenty's a charm for me :) At least I don't have to wait a whole year till next draw, just 11 months. Congrats to all the winners this year! Hope the process goes smoothly and your visas get approved w/o too much stress. For the rest of us, oldtimers here, keep on playing and dream on until your dream comes true. It's better for them to surrender the GC's to us because we are surely not giving up!

As others told you, it's just family name. And just year of birth.
Make sure you don't mix up the 0(zero) and the letter O in the confirmation number.
Good luck!

Thanks for wishes and kind words. Well, it doesn't cost us anything to play so why not. I honestly thought this would be my year because someone mentioned last October that this year we will have better chances due to passport number requirement (and the fact that a lot of people have no passport at all). But obviously this was not the case as I see many long time members of this forum have not been selected too. I can't even say I am shaken, for shure not stirred :) But winning would make me sooo happpy! Good luck to you as well!
