OK – I am going to be unavailable this whole weekend (three day weekend) so I am going to write up my thoughts and hopefully answer most questions. I will not be able to answer questions until Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what now for DV 2020 selectees.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n OK – there are FIVE groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 1. You can get your visa re-issued, even if you are in the Schengen area. Contact your embassy and quote the judges order. You probably will need a new medical and will need to pay fees again. Don’t delay – you need to act fast. You should not need an interview so this should be easy for the embassy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 2. If your case is now resolved (meaning whatever caused the AP delay is resolved) your case can now be approved. You will probably need a new medical to ensure the maximum visa validity. Contact the embassy asap and discuss the case with them. Do not waste time – now is the time to fight for your chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 3. Contact the embassy and see if they will schedule your case as an “emergency” or “mission critical” appointment. That is what Judge Mehta has ordered. You should make sure your medical is new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 4. Having slept on this it strikes me there may be a chance for you. If you are in a country where the embassy is open and there are not that many winners there, I suggest you contact KCC and respectfully ask\/demand that they forward your case to the embassy. This is outside of their normal procedure of scheduling, and they may not be able to do it – but if they will just send the case to the embassy, then it will be up to the embassy and yourself to get things arranged for the interview and the medical. It’s a chance. Quote the part of the order that I have quoted below. Judge Mehta has noted they behaved wrong and now need to do whatever they can to fix the problem in the last few weeks. Write to KCC and refer to the judges order – maybe some of you can make this happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Group 5. Other than cases where you are named, your chances of interview before the September 30th deadline is low. If there is an extension granted, it may only be covering the plaintiffs named on the various lawsuits. However, we will need to wait and see what Judge Mehta decides on the 25th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
