- Thread starter Sil2022

more than 5 n now i stopped emailing now.i even called...
Ohh
hopefully they gave you an update over the phone
im sorry they dinthopefully they gave you an update over the phone
Why were we told that our visa is approved straight after the interview but we still waiting for over a month now. Can they change the decision given during the interview?? If so why did they even schedule the interview when they know that they have reached the 55k cap. Customer service with the Fiji embassy is hopeless after requesting updates with our Passport there is no reply and when we call the embassy they say that we will have to wait for there reply to our email.

What does it say on the CEAC website?
On September 6th, the Department of State informed Posts worldwide that the DV ( Lottery) limit was reached and decided that DV23 applicants who did not receive a visa by September 6, 2023, were ineligible for visa issuance. The 2023 U.S. Diversity Visa (DV Lottery) Program has officially ended worldwide. The Department of State has issued all available diversity visas for the DV-2023 Program. We recognize that the early conclusion of the 2023 Program may be disappointing to those 2023 selectees who were unable to receive a visa. Reaching the DV limit so early in September was an unprecedented event and we had no control over its process.
i got my interview on august 31st and got approved but am still waiting for my passport and visa to be returned only to get their email above. is anything can be done or just returned home pretend this was never happen.

well it seems that the case number mentioned is behind my case number and yet i was not issued a visa instead was told that they reached the limit
Bula we had received the same message today we should protest for our rights...we have spend almost 7k for our expenses and we received this kind of message, what were they doing all this while without updating our case to issued
Very seem unfair because it's their fault why they were. Ot updating g our cases soon after they approved our visa

I see a few posts here about the abrupt end of DV2023, so I wanted to clarify some points.
The visas were exhausted at the close of business of September 6. After that the only visas that were issued were those that had started the issuance process prior to the end (those that show in CEAC as "Administrative Processing". There were about 100 such cases on September 7th.
No other cases can be issued, regardless of what you were told in the interview. A verbal "approval" in the interview is not binding. Fees taken for medicals and interviews will not be refunded, and there is no basis to sue the government. Visas ran out. They actually issued about 56000 - meaning MORE than were allocated.

But how they call in for interview when they know very well we about to reach the cap .In fiji we are already suffering and people are forking our money from their pocket and receiving this news from them almost a month now.
