By the way, I miss everyone around here and it feels good to sneak a peek every once in a while, hope y'all are doing well and best of luck to all DV2016'ers as well!!

Wohooooo!! congratulations!!

What a shame for AS, I'm still devastated. I don't know if I can ever get over this...

Sigh, I wish I could just forget the last 14 months, sadly easier said than done.

Again I'm looking forward to seeing how they will clear all those late AP from July forward. It will also be VERY interesting to see if the special procedures to quickly resolve AP will be applied to all of AS and other regions as well (This is for you Susie ;)). All of this makes me wonder why...

I see what you mean. Anyway, I have never said that the US immigration system is racist, nor do I believe so. I've been to the US MANY times, and the whole reason that AS gets only 8000-8500 diversity visas is because there a lot of Asian immigrants living in the US. Nor have I ever blamed the...

Actually, I don't have much info about the mechanics/statistics of SA to begin with. The only thing I know is that there are some special circumstances in Venezuela and Cuba, that even Simon stopped predicting the progress of SA a while back. As you can probably know, the final cutoff of AS was...

I agree, that's an unfortunate truth.

I don't think what KCC did to RoA this year is fair. I mean, sure, they wanna give some chance to those who have been for months on AP and might clear soon, those deserve the chance, I can sympathize with them. But to actually hold the entire region with no increase AT ALL for some APs that...

Anyway, I'm outta here. It's been a pleasure. Good luck to all! :)

I quite agree with you, and not only because I missed out. I hope Sensei-san won't mind me borrowing this chart that speaks better than words: So yeah, the law says that all applicants should have a chance of being selected (it IS a lottery, in the first place), but doesn't say anything...

Sigh, this is so sad, for all of us. FSW, you really are smart, kind, and respectful. I wish you the best in your life!

Alright :(, thank you Simon!

Ok, I'm not in the mood, but you're a special case, so whatever..

Nope, light is faster. Check your facts, Sensei!

Right as usual, Martin. But the question is: How on earth are they going to start suddenly clearing those Iranian shady "BACKGROUND CHECKS" (emphasize the quotation marks) in the speed of light? Sounds more like a tool of political pressure, if you ask me.

Thanks Mutaz, I feel terrible, my CN is 99**, I knew it was not safe but I always thought the last cutoff will be higher than that.

Simon, could it be a mistake or something? This is unbelievable!! Or maybe they'll change it next VB? Trying to cling to some hope here :( :(

Come on, Sensei! Let's borrow a dose of hope from all the cool pre-selectees :p:p:D:D

Especially if they're feeling guilty about last year's Iran's "catastrophe". Sorry can't help the speculation.
