dv22mtl

I did an analysis on DV22 IV category for MTL interviews conducted since April 2022 from Xarthisius’s data pulls. ~57% of DV cases have put into AP / 221g and they likely got 5535 questions emailed to them. That is, 124 interviews conducted since April and 71 cases put into Refused (AP) status. 19 cases have been issued approvals after being in Refusal/AP status. 51 cases are in Refusal/AP status. As a comparison, the global average for AP in the DV22 category is ~25% Also, with the DV category, if we aren’t approved by Sept 30, then it’s game over for us. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Hi all, Coming from the DV IV side, there's a bunch of us from DV22 that are also in 5535 AP status from MTL. It seems like a few of us are getting 5535'd each day recently for different reasons (travel history, work experience, education, name changes). To get an idea of how many of us there are, you can see all the MTL refusals at https://savediversityvisa.org/dv2022allconsulates/ I'm in contact with about 20 of them. We are also compiling a spreadsheet separately. As far as I know, there's only been one true rejection on the DV MTL side for an overstay. The rest of the refusals are 5535 APs. Sad to be in the 5535 club with you all. Here's to hoping we get processed before our DV Sept 30th deadline.
