DV 2012 Applicants and Lucky Winners

The person complaining is basing his conclusions on a sample of 70+ people. You need a bigger one (besides the fact that you never know if those people really won, or just want to raise the stink).

And even then, he did mention 2 people who won on later days.
 
Hi guys, this was my first time entering the DV lottery. Are the results all released at once? Or do they come out in stages? Because when i check the status it says

"Based on the information provided, the Entry HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED for further processing for the 2012 Electronic Diversity Visa program.

Please verify that you have entered all information correctly. You may re-check the Entry status by clicking on the ESC Home Page link below."

Why would it say 'you may re-check the Entry status'?

Thanks

All at once.

That's because you may, in fact, re-check the entry status. Say, for another applicant.

Hi everyone ! i'm new here !
I aplied in October without really believing i could win but i did !! I'm so happy i can't believe it !
I was just wondering if you know how much time it is gonna take until the interview ?
can you know with your case number ?
mine is 2012EU00010XXX
 
My boyfriend last year had 2011EU00012XXX, and he had his interview Nov 2010. So, you'll probably have your interview before the year (2011) end. Good luck and make sure you have evrything they ask for, and complete all the applications properly, because if you don't that will delay the process.

I cant believe this but I got selected for further processing!
case number: 2012EU00001***.

I called KC for more information because the info on the website is not all that clear. The told me I have to send to them form D122, with the barcode and 2 photographs. The next step is to wait till my number is current and I will be able to change my status. Im currently on a H1b.

I have a question though. I got engaged a couple of months ago but have not gotten married yet. Wedding is supposed to be in July. Can I include my soon to be husband in the green card or since I was not married at the time I submitted, he cannot be a dependent?

Im sooo excited I got it...I still think it must be a dream. I think I may have read the letter about 10 times!
 
Good to hear. I have been trying to call them, but haven't gotten through. Why did they not mention D122 anywhere on the web?

I won, I can't believe I just won!!!! It's a miracle. My dream comes true!!!
I've been trying without luck since year 2000. An now it's a reality.
I just want to say "keep up the faith" to all who have been trying for so long. It's not just a "first try, first time" winner lottery. As the twelve attempt was the good for me....
