Refused GC?

I know that people are reluctant to visit this site again, if they were refused the GC after or before the interview, but I would appreciate if all can share their experiences in this thread.

If you were refused GC on DV basis or know some one who was refused or delayed, please share your situation in here.
 
I would like to hear it too, in the past some one was refused and wrote on this forum that is was due the lack of English and he needed to obtain a license to perform his profession in the USA and according to what he wrote the employee stated he would not been able to pass the exam and not be able to work in the US due to that....denial.

Some people are on administrative processing and I wonder what happened to their case as well as a person from Europe who's husband was approved but there was something wrong with her biometrics...I wonder if she got her GC in the end?
 
I agree with the OP...many are interested to hear what went wrong and others can learn from that and in some cases a denial can be changed if there is proof something was done wrong...

On top of that people who got denied might have shared their story with all of us during their process so just as others stated how their interview went it is good to know how everybody's jerney went....
 
On top of the explanations well-stated by Bentebee, I am basing my interest on the fact that: “Random selection by the KCC computer as a selectee does not automatically guarantee that you will receive a visa. You must qualify for the visa as well. “

KCC selects around 100,000 entries every year to ensure all of the available DV visas (50,000) are issued.

I think it will be of general interest to know the interpretation of various visa offices to the disqualifying reasons. I assume that some will be more common in one region than another.

According to the enforcement manuals, visa refusal may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Submission of more than one entry (if discovered at any time)
2. Misrepresentation and incomplete applications
3. Death of principal beneficiary or applicant
4. Wrong country of chargeability including Cross and Alternative Chargeability
5. Failure to meet the qualifying occupations, education and work experience requirements
6. Criminal records and law violation
7. Failure to attend interview or pay required fees
8. Lack of required finance/sponsors (Public charge)
9. Health limitation and medical issues
10. Numerical control (regional and country-specific)

I have also come across some unfinished stories that involve lateness in submitting forms and documents, errors in applications, errors in country of nativity, previous visa refusals, and candidates with history of minor offences.
I am curious to know about the lucky and not so lucky participants who went on with their interviews and may have paid the processing fees but were turned down!
Comments from applicants who may have had irregular issues but successfully passed their interviews are also welcomed.

Please feel free to share your stories even if it is related to unfair decisions, process of appealing refusal decisions, mistakes made and how they were corrected, etc…
 
I guess by now you might have read about my friends succes but also about her birth year entered wrong at entering the lottery. Her siblings birth year was entered together with her birth month and day.

It was a shock when she found out but after having sent all proof to KCC of the mistake and all other papers showing her real b-day, she was never asked about it, not even at the interview and she had a copy of her siblings passport with her to proof it.:)
