The appeals court has denied the petition for an en banc review, so the DV2020/DV2021 appeal is now over. It’s a sad end to the process, but at least people can now process this news and find a way to emotionally move on.
Many thanks to the many fine lawyers that gave it their best shot and so very nearly got the DV selectees the justice they sought.

Hey BritSimon, I was one of the winners of the DV2020 who was not able to get an interview (basically one of the denied applications), I have been applying for the lottery ever since and do not get selected. Is there an algorithm keeping an eye on me or I can keep trying my luck? What do you suggest?
October 1, 2024 at 21:20
There is no algorithm against you. The reality is that chances of selection are very low, about 1 in 100 years.
October 2, 2024 at 11:30
I guess that’s fair, thank you!

Hello Sir,
If you don’t mind I would like you to fix the OPTION DONATE HERE where the comments apear. Most of people do not see it on the other side.
September 5, 2024 at 17:46
That’s kind of you to think about that, but I don’t do this for donations, so if it is hard to see, that is ok.

Continue to vote Democrats. USCIS gets now more additional paid holidays than ever. Mayorkas spent 2.6 bln dollars of paid additional holidays but still theg are backlogged the worst. Mayorkas doesn’t have money to secure southern border though. And the delays are the worst for all categories of visas ar USCIS .

Sad, frustrating but not the end of the world as longer as am still alive.
My wife we attend DV2012 but our case remains administrative processing(221) until end of the FY.
I was sad at beginning but finally realize it is an experience and nowadays if we get chance to win and get visa I won’t waiste time like friends those went since that year.
We thank you for your time to assist people without paying one cent. I learnt a lot here

Hello Simon, My case number is 2024AF49****, it was true that I did not show up for the interview on June 12 as I have not received any email due to presenting the wrong email adress on the ds-260 form. I reached out to Nairobi embassy and they sent me the 2NL but I had to reschedule.
When I tried it reads the ‘System is busy’. I emailed the embassy to help me with this issue.
What do you think of this?!
September 4, 2024 at 11:51
What I think is that you have already lost a lot of time. Unless you sort this out right now you will waste this chance. No need to ask me vague questions. Take action!

So sad to hear this outcome.I was a DV 2021 winner and successfully processed and moved to the US.
September 4, 2024 at 04:54
was selected in 2013 but unfortunately they did not call me and did not reach my number. I felt very sad and depressed. Honestly, it was a crushing of hopes
September 4, 2024 at 04:07
Thank you for update and information

hello
I have been registering in the DV Lottery since 2005 until now. I was selected for the DV Lottery 2020. I was caught by this article. Maybe my part is broken, but I still hope to register for the DV Lottery 2026. Maybe I will win.
September 3, 2024 at 23:51
Good luck.
September 3, 2024 at 20:46
Very sad.

I am a Cuban dv2020 winner. I am already in the United States, not because of dv but because I entered through the border, but I was on the lookout because I left several dv friends waiting for this answer and unfortunately unfavorable, but life goes on, you have to get up and follow the path of life.
