Default Green card lottery

Hello there,

Results of this year's Green card's lottery (DV-2004 I guess) should be
mailed around this month, right?

It might start some time soon. Note that in past years, notifications went
out in approximately March through May, and then a second batch went out
much later, maybe in July, or last year as late as September or October.

I can't wait for my day to come

Although, I'm turning 22 in November and at the time I applied for the DV-
2004, I was still allowed to apply with my parents together, right (my
birthday is on Nov 27th and I applied around October 7th) But from now on,
I can't anymore, correct?

Unfortunately, what counts for you is your age the day your parents get
their immigrant visa. There are a few exceptions, but I don't think they
apply to you.

I did't know about that! I have looked all over that travel.state.gov's
wesbite but I couldn't find any information about that. Where did you
find that information?

I have to admit that I'm not sure where it is written in the law, but it
is a principle that holds true throughout immigration law. Just a few
months ago, the Child Status Protection Act was passed that fixes this
problem in many cases (unfortunately, it wouldn't apply to you). So
searching for this law might be a good starting point for you.
