DOS Invalidation of DV–2012 Results Leaves 22,000 Winners Devastated — Our Proposal for Correcting this Injustice

Posted on May 18, 2011

The Department of State’s invalidation of the DV–2012 results has left 22,000 winners distraught. And they have a right to be — they did nothing wrong, started to act on their winning notifications, and now have had the carpet pulled out from underneath them. Why can’t the Department allow those winners to remain and conduct a new drawing on July 15 for 78,000–100,000 additional selectee slots? This is the topic of my letter to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Visa Services, David Donahue: donahuefinal1
