Taking in to account that the Republicans are the majority in congress.Im afraid they may end the lottery...
Maybe... it's funny though how many Americans are brainwashed to vote for these pieces of trash... oh noes lets cancel the dv lottery so we won't get another 9/11...
Republicans, hate gay marriages and love their guns. Their too cool...
I checked the www.state.travel.gov website and found that they have given the total number of applicants for the DV lottery. In the visa statistics section – immigrant visas visa statistics they have a table of total visa applications for 2007-2012 and total entries for each country. The total Number of Diversity Visa Applicants for year 2012 is as follows:
Entrants =14,768,659
Derivatives (wife and child (ren) =4,903,609
Total =19,672,268
Check out the website for information on how many people applied in your country.
Conserning case numbers, there are some who have more numbers than alphabets and others vise versa. I saw a confirmation number of one of the individuals in either the nigeria or ghana forum having stated his confirmation number with a mixture of a lot of numeric digits and few numbers. Actually it was only 3 alphabets and 13 numberic digits; 2012 3 numeric digits 13 alphabets = 16. Others i know have a mixture of 13 alphabets and 3 numeric digits; 2012 3 alphabets 13 numeric digits = 16
In the form section of the www.state.travel.gov website, they have made an announcement that they are going to gradually replace form DS 230 with online registration form DS 260. They have further stated countries that they are going to begin with and will gradually add others. Check out the section for more information.
We should thoroughly prepare for anything concerning the DV lottery process.
Cheers
Correction on confirmation numbers; the confirmation numbers total to 16. Examples 1; 20121ST17PNZSMOU. Example 2. 2012104195M3S2Z4.
Apologies!
reality33, why do you think the confirmation numbers differs as stated?
Win Dv,
I have no clue as to why the confirmation numbers are different. All I know is that my confirmation number is similar to the 1st example that I gave. I have seen a confirmation number like my second example in "DV 2011 winners forum Nigeria report here - pg 30" written by ferdiii. His confirmation number is 2012104109R8P8F3.
It has been several years since I reapplied for the DV lottery. Maybe those who have consistently been applying could shed some light on this issue!!!
They pretend to hate gays, but yet they get caught having gay sex in the airport bathroom. I am referring to the senator of NYC, and there were a few more.
Republicans are a bunch of hypocrites,and I hope Sarah Palin doesn't run as a candidate in the 2012 election .
why do we have to wait so long for the results....i really dislike the wait
Look on the bright side, the information on the DV website says that online results will be available May 1st. That's two months earlier than in previous years. Letters are sometimes received more than six weeks before online results are posted, so let's all hope we start hearing about winners in March already. Just hang in there through winter ;-)
Correct.yeah i guess so...but they aren't sending letters out this time though
Think of it, if you find out that you did not win, you would have to wait that much longer for the next year lottery entrance period. This way, entry period and result check are rather equally spaced out.why do we have to wait so long for the results....i really dislike the wait

It was specifically stated that winners will no more receive notification letters from KCC. U av to check online around MAY 1st to see if u won. That is the more reason u were warned to keep ur CONFIRMATION NUMBERS. Pls take note.
Correct.

i adore palin. She's one heck of a charming airhead and she better run for office in o-twelve or i will be seriously disappointed. She doesn't stand a chance but boy, elections won't be nowhere near as fun without the whore of babble-on. If i could, i would vote for her just to help make sure she'd stay somewhat relevant. How she has never been awarded entertainer of the year is beyond me.
