@SeeFisch According to NICE
type 2 goes to QRISK score
Type 1 if > 10 years or above age of 40 or nephropathy.
I never heard of this criteria of 7.5 % ?!
@BritSimonSays The court decision is final. It’s a little bit shocking to see administration that preaches about the importance of immigration and immigrants yet fight so aggressively against the very law that provides the best pathway for immigration. I just can’t understand why they did this
Appealing the 2020-2021 Diversity Visa winners' case is concerning.I urge President @POTUS Biden to swiftly resolve this, withdraw the appeal, and uphold American values by granting them the opportunity they deserve.
