DV denial

Just want to know has anyone been refused DV after the interview and what was the reason.Let us talk to this as a guide to future interviewee.
 
During my interview at US embassy I witnessed firsthand two denials on education grounds. One case the lady had less than high school certificate but was claiming experience with ministry of health.result-instant denial. Case 2; the wife was principal applicant but her aggregate grade was lower than set by embassy-instant denial. Also witnessed marriage based dramas-must be careful and truthful with this area. If its not genuine by your intentions or countrys' practice, the C0 will catch u believe u me! No lies just TRUTH!
 
yes, this is another reason that has been sited...

Please my cousin attended her interview for the DV 2011 lottery on August 1st, 2011 at Tokyo Japan and Consular officer concluded she was ineligible under section 212(a)(5)(A)of INA

This is what's the reason - didn't have sufficient highschool level or job experience that falls in the appropriate level category - 4 or 5 is required, anything below that will NOT get a DV visa.

Cousin can go back to school or college and get qualified that way or get some relevant job experience - this is all for future DV lotteries - right now there is nothing she can do - the decision has been made for her DV2011 status.


High School Education: A high school education means successful completion of a formal course of elementary and secondary education comparable to completion of a 12-year course in the U.S.

Work Experience: If you are qualifying with work experience, you must have two years of experience in the last five years, in an occupation which, by U.S. Department of Labor definitions, requires at least two years of training or experience that is designated as Job Zone 4 or 5, classified in a Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) rating of 7.0 or higher. The U.S. Department of Labor provides information on job duties, knowledge and skills, education and training, and other occupational characteristics at their website http://online.onetcenter.org/. The O*Net online database groups work experience into five "job zones." While many occupations are listed, only certain specified occupations qualify for the Diversity Visa Program.

How To Find the Qualifying Occupations on the Department of Labor Website: Qualifying DV Occupations are shown on the Department of Labor O*Net Online Database. Follow these steps, when you are in O*Net Online to find out if your occupation qualifies:


<LI class=msonormal>Under "Find Occupations" select "Job Family" from the pull down; <LI class=msonormal>Then Browse by “Job Family”. (For example, select Architecture and Engineering) and click "GO"; •Then click on the link for your specific occupation. (As an example, select Aerospace Engineers. At the bottom of this Summary Report for Aerospace Engineers, under the Job Zone section, you will find the designated Job Zone 4, SVP Range, 7.0 to < 8.0. This means using this example, Aerospace Engineering is a qualifying occupation.)
If you do not have either the required education or qualifying work experience, you are not eligible to be issued a diversity visa. Only you, as the principal applicant, must meet this requirement. Your spouse and children do not have to meet this requirement. Do not continue with this application if you do not meet the qualifying education or work experience requirements explained above.
 
Also the poverty guide is out for 2011 - dv winners I believe are supposed to show 125% above poverty to be eligible, which is around $13,000

One person stated on this forum (perhaps 2 years ago) that he was denied for not speaking and reading English very well. For his job he needed to pass an US exam and according to his statement USCIS was convinced he would not be able to pass it and work in the same field. Without the license the person would not be able to work the same job and he needed to know all technical words, etc.

I know a US citizen born in Puerto Rico who speaks English very bad and his writing is similar although he uses help from others, but he always gets the worst jobs and lowest pay checks. He tried to get a better job and was made many promises but in the end they let him do more advanced work but paid him the lowest. With so many people applying for the same job they will get the best and aren't waiting for people who hardly can express themself.
