DV 2020 All Selectees

She’s not going to get a plastic green card if she didn’t hand it in. I am very surprised the immigration officer did not ask for it, are you sure it is the immigration packet and not the X-rays? (X rays don’t matter). She probably needs to go back to the CBP office at the airport she entered to hand it in, if that’s the case, and she should call them first.
just to check: Is there any notation on her visa about CCD?
Thanks for the reply. Its the immigration packet and not the x-ray. For some reason my friend forgot to hand it in and the immigration officer forgot about it too..
 
@Britsimon @SusieQQQ any update about the hearing last day?. Since this hearing about the affection of P100014 to the skilled migration, does thus has any impact on DV cases ?
If and when the Judge enjoins the government from enforcing PP 10014’s suspension of entry, DV2020 visa holders will enter the US immediately and visa processing for DV2021 will resume immediately
 
Please if Biden signs executive order to end the muslim ban, will the cases at embassies with the ban also get the 9095 reserved visa? ( that is if everything works in our favorite)

The September 30 order did two things.

1. It reserved the 9095 visas to allow later issuance IF the lawsuit is finally won.
2. It certified the "class" meaning ANY unissued DV2020 case is part of the class.

Point 2 doesn't mean everyone can get a visa because point 1 is not enough visas for everyone.

Even if the lawsuit is finally won and, we cannot be sure who would get prioritized. BUT it is likely that priority would be for cases already at the embassies and possibly case number order. So - if Biden removes the Muslim ban (which seems VERY likely, almost certain), some people that were previously scheduled or with low case numbers might get a chance. BUT if those cases typically need long periods of AP (for example Iranian males), they would have almost no chance since 9095 will get used very fast. And of course all of that depends on the timing of the final order and the COVID chaos at that time.

Far too many variables to give clear answers of course.

Britsimon ,Is there information on the number of winners DV2020 who still need to be interviewed? The 9095 is only for DVlottry people ?

The 9095 is only for lottery, yes.

We do not know exactly how many are waiting, but I have estimated there are around 25,000 people left that are "approvable" - so the 9095 will cover a large chunk of them, but not all.
 
I personally go to Turkey today. I work online and in the past, I worked on several occasions from Istanbul, often for months.

I am planning to fly to USA directly with Turkish Airlines at some point in January. I won't book anything until after elections.

I am leaving now, as most countries in Europe go into full lockdowns and with weather so shit, I just don't wanna be here anyway, prisoned in my flat especially

Pitty I cant go to Brazil (its on the same list, along with schengen) as summer is starting there and timezone is good for work.

Hi everyone,
this might be a silly question but...
I have seen Puerto Rico is considered a USA POE, so, can we activate our visa there?
I have been reading Puerto Rico entry requirements and they are different from the continental USA. Seems like they ask for a test but no 14 quarantine outside Schengen.

Im a Dv2020 winner with a valid visa til 20th March and Schengen area.
Thanks all :)
 
Can someone give an quick update about DV2020

Judge Mehta has issued an order with the briefing schedule which is on March 12, 2021.
From what I understand is it means he would issue his final judgment after that, and the resumption of processing for DV 2020 will happen in April 2021.
