DV 2020 All Selectees

Last week they were reporting it was going to be with this Friday-Tuesday business... they just keep stringing us along without real information or timelines. Thank god for this forum or I would have lost my marbles already, this is so emotionally draining.
Last week, “they” were talking about some executive orders on immigration due today, and they are signing some EOs on immigration today. There was nothing official indicating that pp10014 was due to be addressed this week - it had been hoped for and speculated (including by me, and lawyers on Twitter, and others here) but there was nothing official that it would be addressed today. It is certainly extremely disappointing and frustrating that they keep kicking this can down the road.

Even Reuters and other news outlets reported it, based on some comments that are not being "redirected" it seems. You are absolutely right, it is disappointing and frustrating and I wish they would just give us some sort of information, it's worrisome they keep deflecting when asked about it.
Thank you for responding.

Absolutely agree with you . This forum does really help and I find it more reliable than outside sources . Thanks once again to all the members who keep updating us with the right information all the time.

You mean the news about it? I can certainly look them up and link them here if you want me to. I think the person from the WH that reported something would be done about them today, was something Oliviera? I am horrible with names, I apologize. It was her comments that these news outlets based on for their articles, and today they are reporting it as "she did not give a timeline" which is why it is so frustrating. It is basically just stringing us along like a bad ex lol

Ya, she never gave a timeline for this PP in particular as far as I know which i why I was asking.
 
Guys according to this @Britsimon video britsimonsays.com/extending-an-immigrant-visa-for-unavoidable-reasons/ (which is from the March last year) if you already have you green card visa, but can't travel due to the reasons you can't control most of the embassies would reissue a visa. If so then we can just reissue our visas and wait till the ban would expire at the end of March. Is that correct? And if it's correct then what is the Gomez case about?

Ok I've found it myself, it only works before the 30th of September of the year when a visa was issued.
 
These old guys are cut from the same cloth:(:mad::confused::cool:
He prefers the status quo as set by his predecessor and very happy to maintain it but still criticize his predecessor for setting it
The sheep is in wolf skin, dining with the wolves but wants us to believe he's a sheep
The difference is his predecessor was just bold and loud and courageous and did what they all want to do
He should receive the same backlash as his predecessor for continuing the legacy he inherited

It was indeed the wrong year to win the lottery.
Be blessed fellow DV2020ers.
 
Guys do you have any idea what can we do to attract attention to our matter?
We have visas that are going to be expired in March and we cannot enter the US because of the Pp10014.
There used to be a web resource - Petition to White House "We the people" - but now it disappeared and this link just redirects to the WhiteHouse home page.
Does anybody know any other way to attract attention to our matter? We need to apply somehow, ask them to either rescind this travel ban or extend visas.
We are in circumstances that are not dependent on us, we're in a desperate situation. Need to do something.

The lawyers are trying to resolve that issue now, with a goal to either get 10014 blocked and/or at least allow re-issuances. After yesterday, that is probably their highest priority. It is being argued in the Gomez case and the Annunciato case.

Thank you, Simon, do you know when we can hear some update on either Gomez or Annuciato?
 
Good morning to all ones.My condolence to all visa holders who are waiting for a relief in the court cases to enter the USA. Its not easy having the visa in hands but you cannot enter. I pray something is done urgently.

I happened to go through the joint motion for summary of judgements by the Aker, Mohammad and Kennedy lawyers and it was very convincing. They appear to be very convinced that Judge Mehta will order re-issuance of visas for expired visa holders and grant the request for issuance of the 9095 reserved visas or more.

However the part that didn't sound nice to me is where they asked the court to prioritize named plaintiffs. And Curtis argued so well that I believe if i were the judge i will grant the prioritization !. Some of us who are not named plaintiffs could not secure interview slots the last time Judge Mehta ordered DOS to start issuing visas.
All the same half a loaf of bread is better than none.

So wherever you are take heart,relax and pray. Our lawyers and moderators are doing all they can to help us. May God bless Britsimon, may God bless some1smom, may God bless sussieQQQ and grant all of you with long life and good health.

As class members we appreciate any judgment passed on our probono case but we have to appreciate that the paying plaintiffs invested in the cases financially and deserve priority.

We just hope as freeloaders we get the remaining chances as a class
Let's not hate on the paying plaintiffs
1. They are few
2. These cases need money to be managed and it's their money that the lawyers are using in the process
3. They actually made this possible in a way critically
4. In life, a paying customer is served with priority as they sustain the business and freeloaders can't jump the queue to be served in the presence of a paying customer :cool::p

Let's coexist and appreciate each role we play in this ecosystem
