For All Winners DV2012 , What we can do ?

The main point here is that: with or without a computer error, the selection is still RANDOM.

As this situation is an "error", nobody knew about it. As a result, nobody could gain from it. Nobody knew that applying on the earlier dates would increase your chance. As a result the whole process is still RANDOM.

The selection process is a blackbox. The internal coding is NOT known. As a result people applied at any random time within the given time limits. The code could have selected applicants from any application time period.

This "error" has just ADDED to the RANDOMNESS.

Think of it like this: Assume that each application is a 1 penny coin dropped in a big jar. Also, assume the coins are made of iron. The selection is to be done by opening a hole at the bottom of the jar and let some random coins fall out. The coins falling out are the selected ones.

By "error" there is also a magnet in the jar as well. When the small hole is opened at the bottom of the jar it opens just below the magnet; the few coins (selectees) start falling through the hole. The magnet with all the coins stuck to it also falls through. Nobody knew that there was a magnet ("error") in the jar. So nobody tried to throw their coin next to the magnet.

The process is STILL COMPLETELY RANDOM.

Noone has been favoured.

There is no reason for the voiding.


Please let me know if you disagree.

I am letting you know that I disagree. I am also letting you know that you are trolling around by posting these 100 million times.
 
...well what can we do? nothing they already deleted our case numbers form the database...

No, they didn't. Whoever told you that was either lying or trying to manipulate you to make you give up. They can't delete the case numbers from the database as that would be covering up information related to a pretty big scandal and a very serious offense. There will be congressional investigations and this data will be requested by senators and congressmen. They can't just delete it (even if the KCC workers may tell you they have no access to it right now, or whatever they were instructed to tell.)
 
This is what immigration lawyer Ron Gotcher said on another forum regarding this:

"My understanding is that the program took 90 percent of the entries from the first two days and the rest from the remaining pool. I agree that they need to be held accountable and I am most definitely not defending what they did. I just want to inject a bit of reality into the talk of litigation. As someone who has sued the government many, many times I know what is involved. Litigation over this issue is simply a non-starter. A better approach would be to persuade members of Congress to perform their oversight duties and hold hearings on this screw up. "

"The honorable thing to do would be for Congress to allow the people who were notified and who paid their fees to immigrate, and the do another full lottery drawing from the entire applicant pool. "

"This is a pretty high profile mistake. If enough people make noise about it, something will get done. "
