I knew that this will happen.These was the plan from the beginning.Next step is consolidation which will happen no mater what lawyers say,and in the end no one will get visa,maybe 0,001 percent.And of course,there will be nothing from reservation of visas because he has no power to do such thing.And as we can see he is not busy,that was a fairytale from lawyers.Curtis with his low to no fee policy destroyed us all.i want my money back.

We will know for sure next few weeks
 
I don’t get why Curtis decided to include the whole Africa without any payment at the beginning.. it was clear there would be tens of thousands of applicants. Anyways, I am not upset about the money, but I am reallyyyy unhappy by the fact that this “charity” destroyed the chances to get the visa.
 
“Highest bidder” … I don’t see your point, Brit. Extra 500$ doesn’t signify you are “rich”. I am just being pragmatic - with less charity more things could have been done. I am not against poorer countries, but in the long run everybody cares about his / her visa in the passport and not about 50k other prospective DV holders.

I’m quite sure the diversity visa lottery wasn’t meant to be a highest bidder auction or an exclusive opportunity reserved for the “rich” only.

Exactly. In fact, I distinctly remember a while back seeing a USCIS answer to a question of why there is no premium processing for immigrant visas being something like “money should not enable people to jump the queue for immigrant visas”. Yet it seems that is what is supposed to be happening with these court cases. I guess that principle was not mentioned to Mehta when he gave named plaintiffs priority last year.

For those who paid and are now upset at the large number of plaintiffs - was there any representation made that there would be a limit on the number of plaintiffs? I also find it a little odd that people who wanted there to be as many hashtags, social media followers etc as possible to show how widespread support was are now upset that so many actual people affected by this are on board! You should be happy about trying to get as many people visas as possible rather than trying to make it an exclusive club, no?

As do the people who happily took the free option. Why should they care that you paid? Your principle applies across the board.
 
hi everyone. is it too late to send out ds260 and the documents? ive been on the fence about continuing but now i've changed my mind. just wondering if it's too late to even try at all

Because he knows that Africa region has the highest number of selectees and generally they are from poor countries. So by easing the barrier to entry, he could have a LOT of plaintiffs from the highest selected region.

Seems to me like a brilliant business strategy! But unfortunately that strategy has decreased our chance as Goh plaintiffs to get processed before 30 Sept deadline.
 
Look, it’s good to sound kind, be all-inclusive, talk about the equality of opportunity etc etc .. and it’s probably even more easy when you are already “on the other side of the ocean”. Why would not you? All I say is that this case is almost done due to the way Curtis accepted plaintiffs. And I don’t care if I sound harsh and my opinion is not popular here - at least several thousand could get visas (if the judge ruled so), in comparison to 24k who drowned it. Anyways, these discussions will not change anything and it’s ok to agree to disagree.
 
Guys I have been trying to login into the ceac website for the past few weeks, I keep getting the same error. At first I ignored it thinking its too many people checking at the same time and it may be server issues. But It has been happening every time I check for the past several weeks.CEAC.png

I hear you.

It is just unfortunate that we paid $2000 just to get a fighting chance. Then came Curtis with his lawsuit. Now people who paid $0 and others who paid $2000 have the same fighting chance.
Actually, someone who paid nothing might get scheduled before a Goh plaintiff who paid 2 grand. (Assuming we get a positive result and assuming cases get consolidated)

Thats what’s going on Goh plaintiffs’ minds right now. And as Erika said, it’s not just the money but the affected opportunity that makes us frustrated. Personally, even if the lawyers have asked for $5000 I would still sign up because Diversity Visa is the cheapest and fastest route to get a Greencard. Other routes cost much more money and time. Just saying it’s not only the money that is making us frustrated as Goh plaintiffs..

However, all of that doesn’t change anything and we will have to wait anyway :)

Try again. This happened with me several times in the past. I tried again after some hours and it worked.
 
I have a small typo with my father’s name on the already submitted DS260. (Ex. I typed Kith instead of Kit). Should I contact KKC to unlock the form and correct it? Or could I just correct it at the interview? Thank you.

If that is the only error you have, you can correct it at the interview. No need unlocking the DS260 form.

NO - do NOT keep randomly trying! If you do that you could block your DS260.

It is very important that you figure out whether you have a mistake in any of your details.
