countdown to dv 2018 results

[ambassador12]

i just checked it and has not been selected... will diversity lottery be cancelled this year ?

 

[DVBoy88]

I hope they dont cancel it

They should cancel this lottery. It's so crushing to see 'not selected' year after year. This is your whole life that is at stake. So thoroughly dejected. And think I now am beginning to hate America.

Why don't they just ban all lotteries everywhere for the same reason? It's terrible that so many people enter them and so few win. How dare they.

Right?

The lottery will not be cancelled at least for now. This is a process that will take time in the case they decide to cancel it. Best of luck for DV 2019

DV lottery is not something that you work hard on it, and end of the day when it doesn't pay you, u get sad. It's just a lottery, don't depend on it like it's your last chance to survive.

What do you mean "no success"? What message did you get - invalid number, or something else?

It will be interesting to see if there will be any actions on the DV lottery Visas.

Make sure that you fill in everything correctly, its probably case sensitive.

Its to early to say but I doubt it and yes the number of applicants is increasing every year.

@Britsimon - do you know of cases where people did not (or were not able to) proceed with their interview in previous years (effectively canceled) and were selected again in subsequent years? I am just falling a bit into a depression with that conspiracy theory that those people may somehow be 'blacklisted' from ever being selected again.

There is a case of a person from OC. He was selected last year and was selected once again. That's what I call having a huge load of luck and I personally don't consider there is a black list for people that was already selected on the previous lottery, its all based on luck.

It's not a blacklist, it's just that there is 1% chance of being selected...

There is someone from OC having been selected three times in a row.

That's amazing and that person should share some of his/her luck

Do you know if that person went through the process on the first or second selection but did not actually go ahead with the interview on either, and then got selected again on the second/third time?
