You have to ask the consul about what to do.

I read that you will get a note that you took the first shot out of a series of required shots, that note will also say that you can't take them all at the same time but you intend to do so and that is considered sufficient for the consulate.

so how are people that don't know anybody in the US and just have the cash or bank statement for $10K supposed to prove their finances?

That sounds about right.

New York can be a good place to meet other people from your country though so you can have some measure of getting used to life in America slowly, especially if your English is not perfect. And having stores with products from your country is good too until you get used to eating McDonald's.

I don't think courts care about administrative decisions, they can always override them or put an injunction on the July 15 drawing. They are a different branch of government from the legislative branch and administrative agencies. Can you back up your assertions with any sources other than...

If someone is writing a letter right now, I came across some good quotes to put in the letter:

They are not going to delete them. It was discussed in another thread somewhere. In the event of a congressional inquiry it would be tantamount to destruction of evidence. They will most likely keep all evidence for years to come.

As paulzorn has said in another thread, so we need to write to members of Congress.

WRONG - the DoS said "We have no evidence that this problem was caused by any intentional act. No unauthorized party accessed data related to the DV program. " There was no wrongdoing to "discover." There was no interference.

All eligible entries have had a chance at winning - the DoS did not claim all the winners were in the first 2 days of the entry period.

Yes, because they said there is no evidence of someone's intentional interference and not everybody was selected from 5th and 6th, it is still random no matter what the distribution might be. I guess it just does not look "random enough" so they cancel. ;)

I have read Diversity Visa hearings. There was a guy testifying before Congress about losing his DV win because of State Department's fault. http://judiciary.house.gov/legacy/93387.PDF You can read it on p. 38-45. We have to make sure we write to this Senator. Someone please do.

Obviously they used the same program/algorithm from the previous year(s). They didn't say they had a problem with a "wrong" selection in last year's DV lottery, that means there is no reason they would have changed the program from last year. That means the program used is the same as last year...

keona, I understand your pain, I feel the same However writing and complaining on this board will not change anything. Please copy your messages and send them to Congressmen who can do something about it. This website has direct link to forms on Congressmen's websites so you can just copy and...

If we prevail it would not matter what the deadline was for the original 50,000 visas. This year's deadline would not be applicable. Justice would be restored and courts would not allow some deadline to interfere with a court of law's decision. Internal administrative rules will not take...

If a bill is passed it would actually not be called a "private bill," it would be similar to a private immigration bill but for a larger number of people. If such a bill is passed it would not matter what the deadline was for the original 50,000 visas. It would either allow some 10,000 visas a...
