DV 2020 All Selectees

Congratulations to dv2021 winners ,I hope you will succeed and have a good luck not like us dv2020 winners,everything was going perfect last year when we got selected,number of selectees was so low and 5.000 visas were added plus we were only waiting for our interview dates,then boom the world shuts down,It is a long and painful proccess,Being selected is not “winning lottery ,after that you have to win 2-3 time more “the lottery” you should pray that KCC works better and faster,that something bad doesnt happen in the world because it can affect you,the procces is so sensitive,I havent slept in a year reading the news and being afraid if some new law pops up,And the most important thing Pray every day that chinese people dont eat wild filthy animals alive and shut down the world again,because thats what happened to us,a chinese ate a bat soup and our dreams fell down(thats the world we are living in) from the happiest people we became the most desperate people on earth,Good luck dv2021
 
I read that green card ban has had little or no effect ... I guess the reason for extending to other kind of visas...
It's had little to no effect because embassies were closed so they cases could not be processed/interviewed anyway. Now the embassies are getting ready to reopen.

Am a DV2021 Winner. i just want to take sometime to encourage you and everyone else. You just got to have some faith. Challenges will always be there but unless they say that they wont process anyone anymore you cant conclude that everything has failed. Right now everybody is current. what more could you ask for. Trump's order is expiring on the 23rd and he has not talked about extending it. what more could you ask for. I think you need to be praying that everything picks up from there and that order is not renewed, that the cases keep ticking down but you got to believe that things are gonna get better. You got to have some faith.

Hi group !I heard several conf emails received in AS and AF regions,but none EU in this week,do you know any case that got email this week in EU region ,last week many have got their conf emails,if not do you know or have a thought why could this happen,or they were concentrated in other regions this week and maybe they’ll concentrate in EU region next week? what dou you think?

What country for AS? I have heard no one from my country gets a confirmation email. I am dying to get one as well. *sigh*
 
Lol seriously , you all should wait and see before freaking everyone out. so far it only says things about visa obtained through employment H1b L1 even J1 and asylum.
But all the news articles do mention "encompass" in reference to the current ban. Its worrying and very sad. But yeah, let us not speculate, there is still time.
 
It has been reported where?
Maybe reported is not the correct verb. But it has been widely talked about as in: discussed by immigration lawyers, CNN and WSJ also had articles about it and there were some leaks/rumors (which is where some of the lawyers got the information in the first place, I think?)
In Spanish you'd say it is un secreto a voces (which sorta means is not official yet but extremely likely and what everyone expects -for clarification, that's what the phrase means, not that everyone expects this. I, for one, do hope this is not the case or, if it is, that it gets overthrown or whatever they do with this sorta stuff. As a 2021 selectee myself, I am extremely worried about the future of our process-).
Maybe reported has a more factual connotation and there is nothing official yet, sorry about that.

Since we are on the topic, something I have been wondering; if this does happen, it would essentially mean banning most of the legal immigration, right? Can they actually do something like that and get away with it? To me it sounds kinda wild and not really possible but I am clearly not an expert. What do you guys think? (just asking for opinions here. Not to worry anyone or anything, just because I am actually wondering from a legal point of view)

I would say strongly suggest that if you want to start a discussion asking for opinions speculating about what general immigration law may or may not be legal, you don’t do it within a thread that is specifically for DV2020 selectees to discuss processing their selection. It may be on “the” topic that a bunch of you overnight (my time) decided to go crazy on speculation, but it is not on this topic.
 
Never in the history of Internet forums was so much bandwidth devoted to so much fruitless speculation by so few.
I understand how it can seem like fruitless speculation to some and, for that, I am sorry (specially because I get how it could be annoying, again, sorry about that). But for others, such as me, specially from the inside and having been sucked into all this mess, it is extremely helpful to talk through it in order to process it and help calm down the nerves and anxiety. And that is also understandable and respectable. This is confusing, scary and heartbreaking; and it makes me feel better to have a place where I can connect with other people going through the same situations ans feelings. We will not fix the world, solve anything or predict what will happen for sure; but it could make us feel a little bit better and a bit more hopeful.

It has got NOTHING to do with the thread you are posting in. Please start another thread to discuss it. This thread is for discussing the processing of DV2020 selectees. There is reason you can start different threads on the forum. Some of us are here to help answer questions about the DV process and don’t want to wade through pages of speculation to do so. And that’s aimed at all of you posting rumor after rumor. Please take it somewhere else.

Oh! My apologies. I thought it did belong here since it also affects and includes DVs. I am pretty new to forums, I only registered yesterday, so thank you for kindly and patiently correcting me and steering me in the right direction.
