...peeps checking already. Well I’m off to bed, I will follow the good advice given and wait a good few/several hours before checking. That and I’m not staying up till 2am my time when I have to be up at 5am to go to work. I’m not going to check before work, as I would like to be able to wallow in my own self pity at not being successful and cry alone at home. Hehehe. Such an optimist...or am I a realist... As they say, hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Good luck to all. Only a few hours to go.

Incorrect family status disqualifies you at interview, not the selection phase. It’s mostly duplicate entries from my understanding that disqualify at the selection phase.
Cheers, don’t expect to be lucky but if I am it’s sure gonna change my holiday schedule over there in August

Don't get too excited, you've got a LOOOONNNGGGG way to go *IF* you get selected. Nnothing would have happened by August so don't be changing your holiday plans.Cheers, don’t expect to be lucky but if I am it’s sure gonna change my holiday schedule over there in August
We talked about this before, and someone told me that this is not true. The system does not disqualify based off picture, that would be at the interview?
If you do not follow the instructions on how the picture should be taken you will be disqualified. eg They clearly state that you should not wear glasses then you go ahead and do so. The application will go through but you will automatically be disqualified
12pm EST timeIs it already available? I'm only able to check for the 2019 entrants, and I also lost my verification code

Not sure where you get this info. If the photo tool allows you to submit the photo, then it will allow selection based on the photo submitted - a photo not meeting specs in the way you describe is the kind of thing that will disqualify you at interview. All the automatic disqualification is done by computer, they do not have someone looking at a few hundred thousand photos looking for problems to deselect....
Duplicate photos or different photos of the same person (which means duplicate entries) will disqualify you at selection, this is something the computer facial recognition program picks up. Reusing an old photo is supposed to disqualify you, but for Dv2019 at least that doesn't seem to have happened, perhaps they will have tweaked that aspect by this year.
If not see you again next year lol

First of all, that is not Simon’s clock
Also, he already warned everyone to temper their expectations and slow their roll because the site will crash in the first couple of hours.

@Sm1smom - I know, I am joking with him in case it's not clear
The joke is, site died even before he thought it would die, because people go crazy

I got the joke - and yeah - amazing that there were enough people checking before the noon start that it overwhelmed the servers.
