For Dv 2012 May 1st selectees!!

what is all that with the 2%? Are they planing to reinstall some former may 1st winner from last year?
 
Don't be surprised if KCC sends out email for some of the May 1st winners or the 2% (that were random) that their case is being further processed......

'Current' in June for ALL regions is unusual.....

Here is the decoding table. Decode your confirmation number using this table and calculate the difference between you submission time from confirmation screenshot and the time that you decode to. If the difference is more than 1 hour and 30 minutes you have a chance to be backfilled and get into 2%.

For instance, if your conf. number is 20121OO** and time of submission is October 6th, 2:48:59 AM, your entry from the table is October 6th, 2:05AM, and it differs from your real time of submission in 43 minutes and 59 seconds. That is less than 1 hour and 30 minutes, so you are not backfilled.

My bro im getting more and more convince everyday on your statistics of winning selection.
 
My conf number is 20121O3 and the submission date is: oct 5, 2010 2:29PM
So I am maybe bacfilled? What does it mean?

Yes, very likely. If the court decides that 2% are random, you have a chance to be reinstated as well. Let Kurzban know before the hearing.
 
To decipher meaning in numbers and statistics like these is like magic. Is that why we call people like Raevsky a maths wiz /comuter wiz? LOL

But, my confirmation number looks nothing like those on the table - it begins 201228**********.

I entered later in the month, so I was definitely backfilled.
 
Personally, I feel like the court case is what is stopping the May selectees from getting processed. Signs from the Visa Bulletin would suggest that there may be left over visas this year. It would be very easy for DOS to offer those, otherwise lost, visa numbers to the May 1st selectees - on DOS's terms. But the court case just complicates things!

NZ VISA ERROR: IMMIGRATION MAKES A U-TURN

Immigration New Zealand has backed down and says it will be accepting all Silver Fern Visa applicants - including those who had been told their applications had been accepted in error.

Hundreds of would-be skilled migrants, approved under the scheme........had earlier received an apology for the "technical error'' and advised that they would receive a full refund.

Approximately 4,000 people were logged into the website to apply for the visa and 306 people went through the full application process, including payment, after the 300 quota had been filled last Friday.

"INZ has reviewed the circumstances and in an act of good faith will accept all applicants who completed the application process with confirmed payment,'' said service support general manager Rob Stevens

Immigration Minister Nathan Guy had said he was disappointed that the fault occurred, and was demanding a report on how it happened.

FRIDAY'S GLITCH

All 630 applicants were emailed to inform them that they had "successfully submitted" their applications and that their payment had been accepted.

But within hours, a second email was sent out to hundreds that said: "We regret to advise you of a technical fault ... and that your application was accepted in error."

Rejected applicants were told in that email to apply again "when the quota reopens about this time next year", and they would get a refund.

New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment director Katy Armstrong said the "mess-up" was not a good look for New Zealand. "Here we are trying to encourage more to use Immigration's online services, but what we have is an agency with an archaic computer system that cannot support it," Ms Armstrong said.

Declined Malaysian applicant Andy Chew, an IT professional, said the computer error showed all the more why New Zealand needed migrants like him to lift the technology and skill levels in New Zealand.

Cool find, Abbie! Although the NZ glitch affected much fewer applicants than the DV2012 glitch, it's nice to see such a response from the officials. Thanks for sharing!
 
I don't the the DoS had a choice because of the legislation. The court ordered them to redraw, and they can only give away 55,000 visas per year....

The legislation has not been tested. The court did not order a redraw. DOS decided to redraw. The number of 50,000 visas does not need to be increased.

No government or an organisation or court odered DOS to redraw the random selections in July.DOS did the redrawer selections in July and announced it July 15,2011 because they felt that the May 1st results was never a fair random selections caused by computer glitch.so in other to have a fair selections they voided the May 1st results in May 13, 2011 and have another redraw and announced the results July 15,2011.As of the 50,000 visas, was first before 55,000 visas during DV1995 but by 1997 the house passed a bill to allocate some 5,000 visas to Nicaraguan country program which started in DV2000.So there s nothing increasing of 55,000 visas.It has been 50,000 visas since DV2000.So take note.
 
It is not 50,000. It is 55,000 minus NACARA, and NACARA is up to 5,000 per year. So if NACARA is less than 5,000 then DV is more than 50,000. But DV is at least 50,000
