Hi Britsimon, I hope you’re well! Thank you for the good work you’ve been doing to help DV lottery winners. You might not remember me but I was a beneficiary of your videos and write ups back in 2015 when I won the lottery in Ghana. Although I wasn’t successful, I was able to use the knowledge to help few of my friends who won the subsequent years. Fast forward in 2024, I applied for a B2 visa in London, got approved but my ceac status changed from “approved” to “refused”. I was invited back for a second interview. During the interview, the consular officer told me that background checks revealed that I have been applying for the DV lottery every year since 2015 thus doubting my intention of just wanting the visa for tourism purposes. I explained and justified why how my intention is genuine to the best of my ability. My passport was returned to me and I’m currently awaiting the final decision. It’s been a month since and I am yet to get the final update. I thought I should share this experience with you. I know you might have come across several instances similar to this. Thank you and stay blessed!

That's a bit cruel really. After all, buying a lottery ticket does not mean you pay the tax.

I live in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. My question to you, is Port of Spain embassy performing well?
@kemylew8 ай бұрын
I believe it is, according to the CEAC data the highest case number scheduled at PTS is SA2004 which is the current visa bulletin

Hello Simon, I understand that they are going to go up to case number 3750? I am in Argentina, in our group we are all above 35XX. Is this correlative? thank you! greetings

There are Argentinian cases at all ranges. But the video explains what I think will happen with the Visa Bulletin numbers.

hi simon. Have you made any video talking about DV AOS's early filing policy? I couldn't find one
@BritSimon9 ай бұрын
The policy exists. When you see the VB released making your case number current, you can file.

@@BritSimonIf my case number falls within the February cutoff, which was released in December, does that mean I can file immediately in December? Am I correct? Thanks

Being from SA with a cn of low 4xxx this is disappointing to see but I’ve always been certain of being an edge case. Still a good analysis. I think Havana is performing pretty well, last year they had a really good run and this year I feel will be the same but doubled. The next bulletin will be interesting to see how much movement SA has if there is any at all.
@BritSimon9 ай бұрын
Agreed. The quota for SA is about 1500 so it wouldn't be a surprise if Cuba takes a full 1000 of those, and Havana is showing it can easily handle that capacity.

Gracias por dedicar tiempo a nuestra region, pero no hablas sobre la posibilidad de un current, crees que este año tiren un current en nuestra region?
@BritSimon9 ай бұрын
No, the range I gave was the range where I expect the numbers to end. Meaning I don't expect the region to go current.

Risk is not "certain". Your number is low enough that you should remain open minded, just informed.
