Please look for an announcement in this space on Sunday night (Pacific Time). Thank you for your patience.

Thank you all for your patience. The lawsuit will be submitted to the court this week. I will inform you once it has been filed and registered.

In response to many of your questions, please see the attached faq Thank you.

You may recall that on May 25, 2011, we requested that the Office of Inspector General at the Department of State launch an investigation into the invalidation of the DV–2012 results. We have now received a reply from the General Counsel within the Office of Inspector General at the Department of State: Mr. White: Deputy Inspector General Geisel asked me to reply to your letter to him, dated May 25, 2011. Thank you for your letter and your interest in this matter. The Department has asked the Office of Inspector General to review the Diversity Visa Lottery matter and we have agreed to do so. Sincerely, Erich O. Hart Erich O. Hart General Counsel Office of Inspector General Department of State While no additional details were provided, one can surmise that this is an encouraging sign. Nevertheless, this should in no way detract from our resolve to proceed with our lawsuit;…

It is readily apparent that the Department of State does not wish to engage in a constructive dialog on this problem. Therefore, we must prepare for the next step. I will be contacting individuals who filled out our questionnaires. I will continue to periodically update this blog and send out e-mails to those who have written to me. If you have not contacted me yet and wish to receive e-mails, please send me a note at white@bridgewest.com In the meanwhile I would encourage you and your relatives/friends to continue to contact congressional offices and tell your stories. It is so very important. The Department of State is counting on you going away, to forget about this, to go back to your normal lives. Don’t let it happen… Thank you.
