Bad News: Bill was passed to end DV Lottery!!

I wouldn't jump the gun just yet. There have been past bills passed too. Understand that it is a PROCEDURAL process with many hoops to jump through. It's just passed at Committee stage, next it has to go to the Floor, another Committee, then to the President. So I would not be premature. Nevertheless, I was surprised to see many people agreeing with the bill that I did not expect like Sen Zoe Lofgren. Let's just say there is more pressure than ever that the DV needs to go and more people are in agreement now: very high rates of unemployment where even Americans are fighting for low grade jobs that traditionally DV people do, US in crisis (the word "depression" used in commentary), the law suit this year against DOS hasn't exactly helped either.

What an intelligent and useful response X8976F. I guess the information in those links aren't reliable. Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding.
 
Hey, that the document indicates the effective date. Please note that a misunderstanding and making a false claim is totally different. However, once you have read the details in the links, why not intelligently explain them, rather than calling people names? You've made it worse....That is what we are here for (i.e. to share ideas) We are pricks and uneducated alike, I guess.

First line: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled...
End of story.
 
I hate when ppl who have no idea about the law and congressional process comment and post stuff like this...I hope more people read this thread and believe DVL is canceled so that fewer ppl apply next yea...:cool:That's what you get for being ignorant and plainly stupid.
H.R. 704 passed the House Judiciary Committee. This comes at no surprise. The House and the Committee are in the hands of the GOP, who try to reduce immigration. The House will now consider the bill and most likely it will pass in the next month or two. HOWEVER, the bill does not become a law until the Senate votes on the exact same bill. First, the bill, if approved by the House, will have to go through the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is in the hands of the Dems. They will not push for this bill so it will die just the same way the previous versions of this bill died in 2005 and 2007.
Senate has made it clear that they want to see a comprehensive immigration reform bill on the table and not just piece by piece legislature. If the DV is canceled it would be as part of a bigger and more thought through bill.
Committees and oftentimes the House pass hundreds of bills every month but very few become a law...most of those bills simply signal attitude in each chamber and become grounds for debate and eventual bi-partisan legislature.

Many thanks for the clarification, Delit2727! I was confused first, since I hadn't heard the bill passing the House. Yes, before you guys post anything like this, please do some research! Otherwise this will cause a huge panic among ppl.
 
win dv: I also recommend to DEIT your post so that ppl understand what actually is going on! The DV is NOT over yet!
 
Again,
DvWasScam was ultimately right when he said DV will be cancelled forever.
I can't believe he was banned everywhere.
Now it's ultimate payback.
This part of forum will cease to exist.
What I care most of is that mostly outrageously moderated russian forum govorimpro is in agony now and will soon lose all its creadibility.
Hurray for justice! You can't ban so much bright people who made every single word from their predictions come true without going unpunished.

I greatly welcome the DV cancellation - because if I were a citizen\GC owner I would not think it's for my new homeland' security! So I guess it was coming.

Dvwascam was a government agent or something.Hes aim was to create confusion.
The glitch was also planned so as to create trouble for Dv program.
 
I think they should

- Eliminate DV lottery
- Stop Family Based petitions for siblings
- Have more employment based visa's and more reasonable priced Investor visas and green cards for E2 Visa holders.
 
Also, everyone who won... actually lost.... now those who sent forms will be banned from getting B1\B2 and J1 visas... for like 5-10years for sure
PS Looks like I'm actually happy I didn't win! Cuz I'm going to get J1!
 
Infact winning on the first draw was a nightmare.Theyre punishing people for their mistakes.There has been reports of a guy(previous winner) being denied a visitors visa,despite the fact that he had gotten it before without any problems.
 
This is someone's personal opinion:

"Although the personal assumption is irrelevant, but too many people have been planning to pin down the Lottery for years, but they couldn't, cause there were no excuses. It makes perfect sense that this whole "glitch" is a complete conspiracy, DOS knew it all along and they knew some ex-winners must gonna be complaining & suing, then it's going to be a huge mess for everyone. Then they will have EXCUSES to cancel the lottery, officially. Otherwise, this whole drama seriously doesn't make sense at all. It could easily only took a high school student couple hours( or not even) to put the results in Excel, and identify the glitch. And it took those intelligents SIX months and TWO weeks to find out? Completely doesn't make sense."

100% agree.. they did the same with The Maine, ..with Perl Harbor, etc.. why not this time?

Seriously, that so-called glitch really doesn't make sense. However, the dots will connect eventually. Look at it, they jumped at this "Bill" (again) shortly after the results were released. They are on to something. Perhaps, they believe that immigrants are too stupid and naive to pick up on their scheme.

I was serious man. I do believe they are playing with us, actually I'm the guy who created the post "DV-2012 July WAS A SCAM"...I love USA, but it has a dark side, which means doing ANYTHING go get what they need, lie, deceive, and make up stories like this one..
 
.... they believe that immigrants are too stupid and naive to pick up on their scheme.



yeah, but they forgot that their country is built by immigrants, and ALL OF THEM are immigrants....

Very true. Someone has told me that they may have manipulated the results or program the computer to not select 'certain' people. Perhaps, this is what they may have done over the years and that is why some people have not and will never win. They have blocked these ones. I hope this is not true.

This is exactly what I suspect...actually I'm talking about this here http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?326288-DV-Lottery-is-it-a-MEANT-TO-BE-thing-or-not but some people think what I'm saying is silly...

It puzzles me as to why people would put 'things pass' people. I don't ever 'say never' or it's 'impossible"...This fiasco unveiled that 'anything' is possible and raised many red flags and suspicion. While I understand that not everyone can 'win', it seems ironic to me that persons who have been playing for years have yet to win.

Lastly, I truly feel that the majority of the ex-winners were punished, thus they lost the 2nd draw. Well, the USA is a 'World Power' and I guess they have the power to do whatever they want. Not fair all the time.
 
Out of curiosity, is it possible for DoS or anyone for that matter to track our IP addresses? My friend mentioned that he's thinks people from DoS and OIG etc. are monitoring various forums to track persons discussing immigration related topics. Once they are successful, they may have blocked us from winning the DVL....

Wow... Ip address? Blocked from winning the lottery? Seriously? Lmfao, IP addresses get changed all the time. It doesn't matter, you and most people weren't selected and are making such a big deal out of it now. Comon... The chances of winning were 1% on average and you know that. Although if it would make you feel better to think it was all mistake that you were not specifically chosen then thats fine. But damn... Bit far fetched don't you think? :p

There were millions of people worldwide who were disappointed for not being selected last Friday. You just have to accept it and move on, I know it's easy for me to say but I did accept it when I realized I didn't get selected for may 1st. I really did not even care to be honest, now look at my outcome lol
