are complaining to the US State Department. As we reported a few weeks ago, the State Department discovered its annual drawing for immigrant visas was marred by a computer glitch. The computer picked winners from those who submitted applications in the first few days of the month-long lottery window and ignored the others. The State Department stopped the process after 22,000 had been notified they had won and revoked those announcements. Now, owing to the complaints, the State Department Inspector General has been called in and will review the whole matter. He might reverse the decision and make the winners who were made losers winners again. But don’t bet on it—because then the State Department will hear from many of the other 15 million applicants who didn’t win and were about to get a second chance.
