DV-2015 winners from Asia with CN 10,000+

[Sensei-san]

Well, Australia's list of skills was very interesting (this was often a topic of conversation for Saffers looking to emigrate). Anyone with a decent degree (sciences, finance/accounting etc) generally could find it easy but they also had things like hairdressers on the list at times. And yes, I knew a couple of hairdressers who indeed emigrated to Aus using their skills. I believe since the financial crisis hairdressers are no longer on the desired list, but...

Since guestgulkan made the post, the idea started to grow on me. Finance/accounting sounds good.

Speaking of hairdressers (got fresh cut yesterday), in Thailand this particular profession is on the list of professions that cannot be performed by foreigners at all, according to the law. If I remember right, it is in the section of professions for preservation of cultural authenticity.
But the most progressive country in this respect is North Korea, where any individual's hair style is a matter of national security and has to be state-approved. How cool is that.

ROA with 60% of Asia quota is a more suitable way to meet the true meaning of diversity. With Nepal and Iran taking 70~80% of Asia quota, duopoly visa is a better name to replace diversity visa in Asia.

Repeat : your idea of diversity is not theirs. End of story.

Countries (that people are leaving) are not the definition of diversity that the USA cares about. Diversity, as defined by this program, is Asians, or Africans, or Europeans etc.

long story short KCC just doesn't give a **** if the asian visas are mostly taken up by nepalese and iranians, to their eyes all asians are the same no matter which country they are from (which by the way could not be further from the truth)

they just couldn't care less except going home earlier

if another iran/nepal-like country was to pop up thus reducing roa visas even further, then so be it, "Why should we give a **** ? they are still asians even if they are only from 3 countries"

 

[siliconeslinger]

KCC's interpretation of diversity sorely needs a fixing

 

[siliconeslinger]

It's unfair. 7% of world visa quota for each country is still a too large share. 5% or even 4% is a more moderate limit to achieve the diversity.

Fairness isn't at the top of kcc's priority list

I must say your post and signature statement are nonsensical on so many levels... Why don't you just simply move on with your life and, if you promise not to cause the same ruckus in case you are "preliminarily selected", participate in the DV 2017 lottery - you will have the same chance of winning as anyone else participating from AS region, which should be comforting to you, shouldn't it?

I knew it would sink in eventually. Now you finally get the rules, will you be entering DV2017?

My understanding is the number of original entries from Iran and Nepal dominate the total numbers for Asia. So, naturally, if everyone has an equal chance, they will dominate the number of selectees too?

It's like the OC. Australians and NZers dominate the number of entries so, naturally, they dominate the number of selectees. I don't see the Fijians getting antsy about it.

Most Fijians don't even understand how DV works. They never bother to check their notification when it arrives. For those who bother, as soon as they get the first notification, they think it's time to pack and leave for the states. It's difficult to find the ones who start doing their research and manage to reach DV help sites such as this to understand the process in detail.

Well, apparently this is what some people elsewhere think too hence some of the anger expressed here.

Simon, could it be a mistake or something? This is unbelievable!!
Or maybe they'll change it next VB?

Trying to cling to some hope here

Cut off for 2015 is 7,650. But last year it was higher than this, I'm sorry for your feelings, but keep on trying.
