Hi CO,

I was randomly selected for further processing in the DV 2014 lottery program, my interview was successful and my visa approved in Yaounde but when i went to pick up my visa on the date specified it was never issued. I was informed days later that KCC ran out of visa numbers ( my interview took place on the 16/09/2014 and my CN was AF67***) In December 2015 more than a year later, i wrote to the US government explaining the injustice with my visa application with copies of the letter sent to the White house chief of staff, Speaker of the House, Attorney General, DHS secretary, Secretary of state and the US ambassador to Yde. The US government replied promising to investigate the case, weeks later they replied stating the US law has no provision for the issuance of a visa on a government program that has expired.

I hold a permanent residence status in a European country with wide travelling experiences. I live and work in Cameroon since 2010 but with frequent visits to europe. I am applying for a tourist visa to the US in July to attend the baptism ceremony of my nephew in Seattle. I wish to findout if my application will be considered as an "immigrant intent" considering my previous experience and could the fact that I wrote to the US government be seen as a desperate attempt to immigrate to the US?

Also, filling the DS 160 i was asked if i have ever been refused a US visa before, what should i fill considering that my visa was approved but never issued and that was my first experience with the US embassy.

Thank You

Hello,

please i need help in understanding what might be wrong with my DV lottery visa application at the embassy in yaounde. I was interviewed on the 16th of September 2014 and the consular officer told me at the end of my interview that my visa has been approved and he gave me a yellow paper to come on the 9th of Oct 2014 at 3PM tp pick up my visa. I was at the embassy on the 9th of Otober and while the names were being read for pick ups, i did not hear name, no further information was given to those of us who didnt hear our names as when next we should call at the embassy or what to do. Curiously, I called the embassy on the 15th of October to find out about my visa, I was asked my case number which i gave and i was asked to come back on the 22/10/14 for a final decision. I told the lady that i do not understand what she meant by ''final decision'' because the consular officer already informed me during my interview that my visa has been approved so what final decision could she mean this time but she insisted that i come back to the embassy for a final decision on the 22/10/14



I just wish to find out if there could be a problem with my visa considering that people who were interviewed with me on the same day received their visas on the 9th of October 2014.



Thanks and waiting for your reply.
