LICO for 2018

[Randy.Orton]

Whatever you all said makes sense. And yes, I should have absolutely make sure to verify my LICO before applying and before taking someone's spot. I do feel bad and guilty for this mistake and I am devastated for losing this opportunity by a small amount. I just assumed that my LICO is good enough, and I am short just by 1200$ in 2015, but 2016 and 2017 is almost 15000-20000 more. They don't take average don't they, right?

What're my options now, wait for next year? Would they even draw me again?

Also, there is no case-by-case situation right? one less year in LICO means it will be a straight NO? b/c CIC agent told me I can try my luck, which is very tempting.

No - they don't take averages. You must meet the specific LICO level each individual year. No case by case situations (obviously everyone would want to be an exception). You either meet LICO or you don't.

You'll have to wait until next year and enter the lottery again.
