I'm glad to hear there's reports of winners. Hopefully it'll lighten the load on the DOS servers now and let some of the rest of us check if we've won or not.

I entered on the 8th of October last year and I didn't win. I don't think I've seen a winner who entered after the first day yet, which is really weird. There's also been a few cases on this forum of married couples BOTH being selected on their own which is another weird thing. hmmm it's...

Good luck everyone! Hopefully there will be a lot of winners on this forum. Btw, I assume the results will be out at midnight eastern time which is another few hours away.

I wouldn't be as pessimistic as the previous poster. The previous F1 denial may or may not be an issue depending on the reason for denial. If the F1 was denied say for having immigrant intent, it shouldn't affect the DV application since it's an immigrant visa. The past overstay will likely...

It's so close now. Who else is getting nervous about the results?

Actually reporting their e-mail accounts to the e-mail provider is not much use either. 419 scammers will usually have load of e-mail accounts to use to commit their crimes from. When one goes down they start off again from another of their e-mail addresses or they create a new one within a...

The photos are supposed to be less than six months old so it's best to have new photos for entering the lottery.

The Gimp is another application you could use for cropping. If your a linux user like me, Gwenview does the job of cropping and resizing nicely.

I entered the lottery tonight using Firefox (without SSL) and it was accepted. Maybe only the ssl forms need Internet Explorer.

Wow, Shihabmh that's an awful long time to be entering the lottery! I'd probably be after loosing hope of winning after that long. This year will be my second attempt at this. Fingers crossed I'll be successful this time around :) By the way, it's extra important you keep the confirmation...

That's odd. Since he's already been sent the notification letter from KCC, he should be okay though. EIDT: It seems this has happened to a few others who have received winning letters from KCC already. Read here

I haven't won this year either. Oh well, there's always next year!

congrats on getting the letter! I'm not 100% sure when your case number will be up for interview. For the US address, you could put N/A on the forms for the moment. However you'll need a US address sorted by the time you enter the US for the first time on your green card as this address will...

1. From what I've read the social security system isn't as generous as it is in Europe. In the beginning, you may be better off taking any job you can get to pay the bills until you find something more suited to your qualifications. Also, if you do claim social security before you become a US...

You'll receive the notification letter by post. If you haven't received one by July first you can check online here by using the confirmation number you received when you entered.
