I entered on October 12, 2010. In reflecting back, I believe our picture was not exactly to their specifications, the background was lightish grey and not white.It seems a lot of the people who won filled in their forms right when registration opened October 5th 2010. It seems especially odd because a lot of couples won together, which normally doesn't happen much. When did the winners here fill out their forms? Right away or later?
Good points; especially concerning a lot of married couples who won at the same time. In addition, they may have only selected 50,000 persons this time as opposed to 100,000. This year's lottery seemed to be unfair considering the various reports thus far. They need to draw again.Everything does point towards the visa's being awarded on a first come first serve basis. Either someone screwed up the drawing process or they did it intentionally to lower the number of winners (a lot of married couples who signed up together both won because they entered at the same time, but they only needed one visa in the first place, effectively taking away a greencard from someone else). In any case, it's pretty annoying that most of us never had a chance to win to begin with, when we unwittingly signed up at a later date.
Both of us applied on the 12 October, 2010...SCAM indeed!!!! Sorry, but I have trouble accepting the results based on the winning reports thus far!!I entered on October 30th. I also haven't been selected
scam or what?
I am married and was not selected.Some people used to get married just before going for the interview and the number of visas were increased. It was a kind of cheating don't you think? That's why they picked couples and families this time. I am too unlucky to be single...
