Keep the hopes up. I have been applying for 15 years. Soon hopefully.

I know. Just saying that NYC is also expensive because of the city, county and state tax as opposed to state tax or sale tax only.

It gets expensive in NYC when you pay almost 35% taxes and then sales tax on top of that....

Well I guess anyone would have done the same, the GN that he won this time is probably wasted now and could have gone to the others. Does the DoS consider such twin winnings? I wonder how many people like you plan the DV lottery again even after winning.

Not all people in NYC are like that. It depends upon who you are, how you look, who you know, how you present yourself etc. But yeah generally NYC is very varied and has a great community. Just don't misuse or abuse the hospitality extended towards yourself, be the same towards others as well...

Binding? Yeah I don't think that reasoning would fly. I am sure the DoS had terms listed before the application page.

I understand people who won were disappointed , but to sue against DoS for a GC lottery? We should be thankful they haven't shut down the program yet.

Those costs vary from country to country maybe. What other visas are more expensive than US visa?

That sounds... not so good. I thought a lot of people tried more avenues than just lottery.

I agree with this. A lot of people don't think about what it takes to come to the US. Entering the lottery is free, qualifying for a visa is expensive.

Gosh I hope I dont delete my confirmation number

Yeah maybe more. Or less. Depends upon area of chargeability.

Hi it seems your husband already got his GC. Why did he play again? Is it because you were unsure about the CN?

Thanks for replying. I figured that out later on. If his brother is in the US, perhaps he can apply for siblings GC.

Interesting thought about the dependents. I didn't see a message of check later on the website.

Its easy to speculate when you are not in their place. Let's be patient and let them resolve this. Remember this a lottery, all that time and effort and software and personnel effort wages is coming from tax payers money.

I just did that and now I have the session time out error.

Dont be sad and helpless. There are other ways of getting to the US. Job, Education etc.

Sorry to bother you. You said you are ready for the 12 attempt, yet your signature says you are in the USA? Did you win or not?

That is true. I have been going through the threads and some past winners had won with high CN numbers, and no interviews. Even after winning, it is still based on luck. And plenty of forms.
