It's not just because glitches, sometimes there is a low number of selectees.

Yes, but it can be a second selection from what I have understood now. Some years, even if it is rare, there have been a small number of selectees, small here is 80-90 000, compared to around 150 000. That happened in 2018 and 2012. And when that happens, there is a second selection during the period of Sep/Oct the same year you can see the results.

Ok! Thanks.

What is AP?

Is there a lottery for Canada or what? Is B1 and B2 for USA?

Yeah sure, but the NACARA does not apply the lottery?

NACARA has not really anything to do with the lottery?

Oh, so that is what the VISA bulletin shows. How many that have been approved?

Ok! But they used to do that from what I know? They used to tell the applicants to save their number and see if they got selected later. So that is not the case nowdays then?

Hi. Today is the day many of us have been waiting for, some hours left now to see if you that had applied for the Diversity Visa Program got selceted or not. I don't really know if this was the prior years before, like a decade before or so. But if you logged in with your confirmation number and you didn't get selected the first day of results or maybe the first month, you got an information box on the Departmen of state/USCIS website that you may keep your confirmation number and check in later, because there might be a chance that you could get selected later in the process. I don't know if this is the case today? When looking back at some screenshots from Google, this is indeed the case, but those are from 2011 and 2016 I think. Is this scenario also true today? Because today is the day that folks can check if they got selected, but if they didn't, can they get selected later? How long should one wait and check? Should I check continuously for some months? Or did the Department of State simply remove that option, i.e, if you ain't selected, you won't be selected for that fiscal year?

So what you mean consulte with a immigration lawyer? Through camera?

So I can't even visit through visa waiver program? I've heard that if you show them your Police clearnance and reports and they see you are clean there they don't do more searching, or in deph searching, maybe that is from case to case tho? So yeah better to be on the secure side and show it.

But I live in Sweden.

What is CIMT?

Encounters where there never happened anything. Its common here in Sweden nowdays that the cops stop and pull over people with foreign background, even worse if they sit in black sedan cars. But one of these times I got mad, because it isn't really normal. Does my story fit in to the category of moral turpitude according to you?

Yes, but its a very minor thing. I don't think they will go so far if my police reports and clearance is ok and clean. I don't know, I might still answer yes and explain everything. Not sure.

Well. I seriously think I have to chose NO here. On the physical I can maybe say yes and that I have been depressed from time to time. That won't do anything. The question if USCIS can find out if I have any pending stuff going on while my current police report is clean.

Hi. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, if not, then a moderator can please move this to the right section for best answers. Thanks! I hope you can bear with me and read everything 😃 I'm not a lier, very far away. I've never had anything in my criminal records or in my police register, but I have had problems with depression since years back. Right now I have 2 cases pending, I have not been selected or anything in the lottery yet. But in case I might I would like to ask this. I have these questions about moral turpitude. Last year police was going to stop me, I completely lost it, because I have been pulled over like 200 times during a very short peiod of time. I resisted the police, and I even tried to kick away one officier from binding my legs. But I never touched her/him. So in this case I have 3 suspicions against me, - Violent resistance, threats against an official which in this case is an police officer and the last violence against an official. The second case is that I threatened or wrote bad things to 2 journalists, that is also pending, here I am suspected for anlawful threat, the mild degree of it, and some sort of " molestation " also the mild degree because I emailed them. So these are the 2 cases I have pending. Remember, I've never done anything before. No drugs, I dont even smoke, and never have. Have never done any ill-treatments to anyone i.e beatings and such. Not involved in sex trafficking or those kind of stuff either, but I just had this stupid encounter with the police which I now feel bad about ofc. What happens if I get selected? Should I tell them this during the interview that I have these 2 cases ongoing? Won't I be refused and denied a visa/entrance then? The lottery is once a life time chance to win. Again not a lier, but from what I have heard lots of folks are lying for some minor stuff. I should mention that I actually got released after 3 hours in custody, after I calmed down. I've talked to my lawyer also who says that jail/prision time is not included in the scale here. Because I never touched the police. I was more like annoying and said bad words to them like profianity and such. The same thing goes on for the journalists case. These stuff hapened during the last 2 years, before that I have always been clean. Since the incidents with the police, it has passed 14 months now. My questions are now. Should I tell them this on the interview if I get selected, and what will happen you think? And finally, if I don't, can they see that I have these cases pending? I live in Sweden, born and raised here. I say this because maybe they can check pending things through some sort of cooperation. Because right now my police clearance is clean, I have never been prosecuted and sentenced before.
