Dv 2012
- Thread starter Shihabmh
- Start date
The annual DV program makes visas available to persons meeting simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated, random lottery drawing chooses selectees for DVs. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions, with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States over the period of the past five years. Within each region, no single country may receive more than seven percent of the available DVs in any one year. Hope this answers your question.
I was just wondering because it is said that Bangladesh has a very large amount of participants this year.
This fact means that a Bangladesh has more probabilities to win than someone else?
As far as it is random, why did you say that a greater number of visas goes to lower-rate of immigration countries?
Seems unfair to me. Countries with high rate of immigration have a bad economy so people need to immigrate!
Why does happen the opposite? :?

Every applicant from each region has an equal chance of winning according to the instructions.
I wish they would release the results earlier than May 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think this is going to happen. They have strict rules. In addition it never happened before, as far as I know.
You should quote the entire sentence and it will answer your question. They don't care about persons who need to immigrate because of 'bad economy'. If they don't set visa limits, it will result in overpopulation in the U.S. Who knows, you maybe selected.
According to this forum, They mailed out notification letters as early as March in previous years. Since we can check online, there's no need to allow early access. Anyway, we have exactly 2 weeks to go.

Guys do you think it matters the first letter after the year in the conf. number?
I mean if it is a number e.g 20121xxx or a letter e.g 2012Fxxx ... I'm asking because most of the people who have won have a letter after the year.
Is true that each country gets a specific letter after the 2012? Where can I find what my country's letter or number is?
Anyone who knows about all that stuff?
Thx in advance!

Hi iren, I really don't think that the variation in confirmation numbers are significant. It's all about the computer selecting our names. My number has a 1 after the year.
In addition, your country's abbreviation (2 letters) will probably be available via 'entrants online status check'.

It is not one letter, it is the abreviation of the continent, for example if you see mine is EU wichi is Europe, others are AS for Asia, AF for Africa and also OC for Oceania, hope this is clear. SO your country does not have a letter , you get the letters from the continent which country you apply for.
