not selected oh well maybe next year...... heading to the beach
Ahhh Bahamas.. I wish I was near a beach *sigh*
Last year I hadn't even checked on the first day, waited until May 2nd. I was happy to win but kept telling myself to wait another week or two, just in case it turns out to be a glitch! So I understand you guys.

Just checked and our entries (me & gf) were not selected.
We are a little sad but life goes on.
We will double check our results in a week time as I saw in other forums that changes were made in DV2012 & DV2013 for some entries (I dont know the reason).
And we will check again in Sept.
But life goes on and we will try again next year if the DV will go on or on other paths that will be available due to Immigration Reform.
I will come back here from time to time to write to my forum friends and I hope to see some winners as well.
Thanks Princedriss for your thoughts and thanks to any of you outhere.
Q , dont be sad and dont give up! We will get there one day! And we will meet in SF Bay for a coffee! Take care!

You never know try this one as well. Infact this is what i was trying at the same time i entered DV2013 so when the time got to checking entries and we were selected i continued with the US one. Try Provincial Nominees in Canada they take professionals you can do it on your own or hire an attorney i love Attorney David Cohen or Abrams & Krochak atleast they are reputable and NOT scams.

Congrats IheartNY
Hi all ,
my wife and tried for the first time this year...both not selected. But to get things clear.
Why does it say: the entry has not been selected at this time. I found the last part "at this time" a bit confusing. Yes english is not my native language ....but its not that bad is it
Does is mean your country hasn't been processed yet or what ?Anyways thanks for your help and to those who where selected we say Congrats and goodluck on your journey.
Best ,

It say 'has not been selected at this time' because your status can change to YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR FURTHER PROCESSING at any moment in time. Many people have reported having their status change for the better an random times throughout the year, in addition to the secondary draw in October which is very likely to happen. Last year they drew an additional 10,000 selectees on October 22.

@Maddie Further selection may be in order in Sept. 2013 and you should keep your confirmation number and re-check your entry at that time because new entries may be selected.
On the other hand the 'at this time' is also a polite way to inform you that, on this occasion, your entry was not selected. You may try next year, if a new DV program will be available.

aha thanks for clearing that up....you can immagine the nerves .
My DV 2013 visas are scheduled to arrive tomorrow... It has been exactly 1 year since we found out we`ve been selected... I wish you all good luck
If you are selected, expect some hard times ahead.. getting all the documents ready, worrying about CN number when it will be current... and other little things It wont be an easy ride...
Then finally probably most stressful of all... actually moving away to USA and trying to find your own little place in a big country...
I will probably stick around this forum, as a way to give back to the community... Since this is not exactly easy process feel free to ask for help in the forum... we will try our best to sort you out

This is one of the American idioms that I truly dislike; in general usage, it gives a false hope and is only used to make the rejection softer. Example: "we are unable to employ you at this time." Well thank you, it makes me feel so much better!
In this particular case though, you should know that you can be selected in a possible October draw, so nothing is really final.

The immigration bill will make immigrating to the US easier for skilled workers and entreprenor (that's why I aim at that one), but the DV... I think the 2015 will take place
