Congratulations to everyone who has been selected (or will be once they get into the website!). To those who have not been selected this year (particularly those familiar names), I guess this year is not the year for that kind of change. I join you on the "not this year" bench.

Hopefully, there will be next year and we will meet here again!

Warmest wishes as always

Probably next year we will get better news @Qewty I was driving a while ago and said the same, that probably this year is not the time for this level of changes :)

The system works perfectly 364 days a year. Is it really worth a major overhaul and investment in (over)capacity that sits largely idle 364 days a year so that the one day it gets 20m hits, people find out the result a day or half a day sooner than otherwise...a time frame that makes absolutely no difference to any selectee?

I´m so sorry @Mijoro . I hope that the high changes of OC go your way for DV 2019.

yeah, I know that but still hopeful some of the already members in here give us some good news
 
No luck with getting onto the website. Tomorrow morning should be better for me to check (still does not stop me hitting refresh)
 
I am in USA, I applied for 17 people and two folks won the DV2018, one from Ghana and one from Fiji. Their numbers are low and I am thrilled for them to come to USA. I have been here for 23 years and love this country... moved from Australia, originally from Fiji

Good to see you got 2 selected and I´m sure they will be happy, when they get the good news.

Exactly. We could just as easily point out that this is entirely predictable (indeed a couple of us advise waiting in this very thread), so people complaining really have themselves to blame for not listening to more experienced voices.

why are your being condescending all the time? you realize some people have a lot at stake, right?

It's never a good idea to have "a lot at stake" on a lottery. Yes we realize there are people whose living circumstances would be vastly improved by being able to move to the US. But it's a lottery.
 
FYI to all - as I understand it the "selected" letter does not state the number of selectees - so it is way too soon to know whether regions will go current and so on. However, judging by at least one case in OC with a case number over 2018OC1900 it seems like we are in for a high selected number year. That could mean over selection, and the possibility of cutoffs. This would suck and be particularly hard to advise on as we will be in the dark with CEAC data.
