Let’s pick this back up when it gets moved to a new thread. One of my closest friends who I have posted about was forced to go back to Saudi Arabia after getting a grad degree here, which was devastating to her because she loves America so much (at least what we should be/cold be). Last year I talked her into not giving up, and tried to get her to pursue Canada. She said no, she wanted to be in America, so she did the diversity visa application. 1 in 127 people make round 2 and a little under half make it from there. I didn’t tell her the odds because I didn’t want to bring her down, but obviously I expected disappointment.
She just sent me a copy of the email that told her she made round two. Nothing is ruining my joy for her today!
