Mike Bibby, DV is something that one has won, it doesnot depend on the mood of the counselor. If u are a high school graduate , they cannot deny you, they can ask you to reschedule the appointment and get a better financial document. They go by the case number and ya your turn might now come , visa number might be finished before it comes to your's . So one should consider the case number too. If its far behind , say 20,000 there is little chance.
