This would mean he provided them a case number, either incorrect ("not a diversity number") or one defined as a hole in their system. Either/or, there is no recovery from this that I can see. Sad, but end of story - sorry Mikey85, really am.

Hmm I just hope the screenshot with his name didn't come from someone else and money change hands after that to get a confirmation number...
I've never heard of a disappearing acceptance letter before? Holes always taken out before the 1NLs?

They should be yes, but then there is obviously some last minute shuffling hence the 84 vs 91

That change in numbers has happened before and I've still never heard of it... also the numbers always go up rather than down...
Something doesn't add up about this story to me.

Hmm... If this were the case, he possibly could be holding a photoshoped piece of paper with his personal information put in, any third-party could produce, and should be glad KCC prevented him from unknowingly attempting visa fraud

Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, as we all know, rampant fraud attempts already negatively impact the political/public perception in the US of the Diversity Lottery System (and to some extend the US IV process as a whole) as it exists today. I think KCC & local US consulates have to be lauded for having increased vigilance against visa fraud, as far as it currently goes. It is unfortunate though that, on occasions, this approach may well negatively impact some "innocent bystanders".
I'm not sure why I should post in these forums if you all are just going to make fun of my situation. I am utterly disgusted that you assume I am trying to commit visa fraud. I received a response from Jessica at KCC this morning saying that they were looking into it and that they have had issues with the system that they are aware of. Thanks for all the help though/advice so far.

Whoa boy, no one is making fun of you and no one accused you of visa fraud. We have had a number of situations before when someone comes on and says "I was selected" and then it turns out an "agent" entered on their behalf and they didn't even know about it ...and the "agent" is trying to scam them out of money. So forgive me for being worried that someone was trying to scam you. Good luck with getting it sorted out.
Sorry my mistake then I assumed you were referring to my case. And no it was not a confusion between the confirmation and case number. Thue said I had an invalid case number not confirmation. I will keep everyone updated though as to how they respond.
One quick thing. My INL has just my name on it under the DOS seal. I just looked now because some of you said people posted screenshots on the forums, and they have their address then their name saying Dear xxxx. Mine just says dear xxx. Any comments?

It should look something like this (in sequence, left letter border):
"Seal
Date
Barcode
Name
Street Address
City, ZIP Code
Dear (FULL NAME),
You have..."
If you send a confidential PM with the screen print doc to SusieQQQ or Britsimon, they can tell you whether what you got looks legitimate.

What is the difference you are questioning? The capitalized D in Dear or something about your name.
By the way - yes it would be good to send me the 1NL - I can check the validity for you - britsimon3 at gmail
I am very intrigued about the story...
