Tens of thousands of would-be immigrants who thought they had a won a lottery to live in the US legally had their hopes dashed when the State Department announced last Friday it had voided the results of the 2012 Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery posted on its website due to a computer programming error.
In a video-message posted on the State Department website, David Donahue, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Visa Services said "These results are not valid because they did not represent a fair, random selection of the entrants as required by US law". He explained that because of the computer programming error, 90 per cent of the winners were selected from the first two days of US visa applications rather than from the entire batch of applications over the 30-day registration period. Donahue does not go into details about what kind of computer error could cause such a problem. He does say, however, that the problem has now been fixed. "We sincerely regret any inconvenience or disappointment this might have caused", he added.
Officials said they would now hold a new lottery, with the existing pool of applicants. Anyone waiting to receive word about their Green card status will have to hold out until July 15, when the new results will be posted online, to see if they have won the right to live and work in the US.
Under the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, the U.S. Government makes available some 50,000 US visas each year which are selected at random from people who come from 36 countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.
U.S. media reported that some 19.6 million people had applied for the visas for the 2012 lottery, hoping to get the opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. without having a family member or an employer sponsor them.
