Banned. I simply don't have time to deal with idiots that want to play games. I am WELL AWARE of how emotional a rollercoaster this is and I am already very nervous about pushing out information that I cannot be 100% certain about for fear of giving false hope, but USDoS are not pushing info out, so people that make that job harder can go find another place on the internet to play the fool.

But if some people have reported STO followed by non-selected, doesn't that hurt the STO theory? And if yes, what other theory is out there?

No it does not hurt the theory at all.

There was the usual period of time when there were server issues and network issues and so on. Some people are also not too careful with how they treat browser sessions, clicking and so on. Those things for some people can give the same or a similar message as the one I am discussing, but I have made it very clear that is NOT what I am talking about. Those who have access to check more than one case will understand what I mean. There is a very obvious, very repeatable, totally consistent difference between a not selected and the "real" session timed out cases.

So - someone who creates their own session timed out message is not what I am talking about and someone that sees the not selected once or twice can probably believe that message.
 
Hello Everyone,

I was always getting the "session timed out" message until now. But, it changed a few minutes ago to "You have been randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program for the fiscal year 2016 (October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016)." If you would like me to scan the letter and post it for you, please let me know and I will be happy to do that.

Good luck to all!

Please do it, we want to see the first winner :)
 
I can just confirm that my friend just received his number EU 263xx after permanent session timeouts. Seems that the problem is fixed on DoS site :)

It still gives us hope haha.

Any chance of a re-draw?

If you are referring to a redraw like in DV-2012, that was the result of winners being selected from the first two days of the registration period. Since there is no data at the moment to analyze, who knows. One would think, though, they won't make the same mistake twice. If not selected, one can hope that they made another error, another, another,... .But c'mon guys & gals, it is not an organ transplant waiting list.

Congrats! Just in the very same minute another guy posted on the U.S. Department of State: Consular Affairs FB page that his time out error just changed to 'you have been selected'... and the winners will now start turning up hopefully :)
