DV 2020 All Selectees

By the way I forgot to mention that I just got my high school diploma this month. That I fought too hard to succeed for this good reason of DV2020.
So please guys stay positive, I feel inside me that everything will be alright.
Anyway, we still have the whole life to get what ever we want, and I know for sure anyone of us had learned many things that may facilitate any obstacles on the future.
See you soon somewhere in this beautiful world :cool:

Congratulations...
 
The article says to allocate remaining DV unused 2020 visas ( along with other categories ) to FY 2021 and 2022 , but in my understanding , that doesn't mean to let DV 2020 winners interview in 2021 . Maybe the visa numbers will be given to different people ( a second 2021 draw maybe ) . Because nothing said those with already case numbers of DV2020 will benefit from that .
Correct me if I'm wrong please .

I hope you are wrong :), but I understand your point of view.

I don’t know, it may be in the actual legislation, if someone has the time to go find it and read it (I don’t). DV is a small part of the visas mentioned and the only one with a sunset clause so no idea if that was taken into consideration. It may at least mean those on AP, with expired visas etc get their cases completed.

You are correct - it is about rolling over unused visas to be available in subsequent years. However, people here should also understand it's just a suggestion that passed through a committee - that does NOT mean it is law.

Reading through the write up of Meng can say u are right. They are just going to roll over visas that wasn't used in the FY to another FY.

Same selectees (which will be the right thing to do) or new draw (which will be extremely hurtful and only add insult to injury)?

This is a nice piece and i think if the house of representatives accepts it ,the roll over visas will be assigned to those who won the dv lottery

I really hope so, it makes me sick to think they will give them to other people. I am not saying they deserve them less, but I do say that after everything we are going through, it would be even worse to give them to other people.
 
Ok, I just wonder .... If they rollover only the visas, it seems like they will do 2 jobs for the price of one. Why in the world would they want to throw out of the window all the work they already have done (all the processed documents), just to start all over again. But you never know ...:rolleyes:

Aren’t you dv2021? I think you should not be worried yet as you have many many months ahead of you.

My wife was selected for DV2021 and we both send DS260 form already. We broke up recently, but we don't plan to divorce soon. Can I continue my DV2021 process as the spouse of the winner without any help from her? We will still be married, but not communicating. I am not sure will she continue her process or not.

1. Please post in the DV2021 thread.
2. No, you cannot continue. First a derivative has no claim to a visa if the principal does not pursue it. But whether or not she proceeds, and you would have to interview with her if she did, your marriage is now on paper only (which will become obvious from the forms you have to submit like ds5540), so it is equivalent to a “green card marriage” if you try claim a derivative visa based on it, and you could both be denied and even banned. You will need to try enter the lottery again yourself next time. If she were to read this I would suggest to her that she delete your DS260 from her application in fact.
