They won't ask you to show 13,000$!! Show whatever you can/have. Is there anyone on this forum who's gone through the interview in the last 6 months and who truly had to show that kind of money? So far I haven't read about such an experience. I only had 6,000 on my bank account, half of it...

Yep, you're probably right about not that many Europeans wanting to use "a free" GC card now since it looks like that America's hit a recession. But living in Europe I can tell you that things aren't that great either here...Sure, it looks great on tv, all the economic growth, strong euro...BUT...

Hey y'all, the good news is that you CAN find a one-way ticket that is cheaper from a round trip! I got it for 60% of the round trip ticket price, so not too shabby. And it's not just about the money for me..it's about knowing that I have a plane ticket that I can't or don't know if I'll be...

Congrats, Tazmania!

Upgraded, I don't know if you've read recent posts from people who have passed or are about to pass dv interviews, but quite a few people already mentioned that embassies aren't that strict anymore when it comes to financial proof. Or perhaps you just don't believe or accept that...For example...

After receiving all the papers after a successful interview, is it okay to buy a one way ticket to the US? Thanks.

Thank you!! Wish you luck too!

Stress-free interview experience in Zagreb, Croatia Just sharing my dv "interview" experience... It was yesterday at 8 am in Zagreb, CRO. I was the only DV winner there, and from what it looked like the only Slovene who claimed her DV visa this year--or at least the only one doing the CP...

Once and I won. Well, technically it was twice, but because I was naive and didn't investigate, I applied through one of those commercial-fraudelent sites. Yeah, that was a waste of my money and time. But luckily, the second time, or the "real" first time I won. I'm very grateful. I wish...

Congratulations! It's comforting to hear that the interview can go very smoothly. But what did you mean by "it was far cheaper" (with your credit)? Wow, it's next week for me :eek:

Utah. Why? I lived there for few years, it's quite cheap (from what I'm used to in Europe), quite a few jobs are in the greater Salt Lake area, people are friendly and like to help, much lower crime rate than the average U.S. state...Great climate, it's done wonders for my health, I hardly...

Yep, very true...location is very important. especially now, it seems. That's why I'm going to Utah. Rent is for average European standars very cheap, and I hear there's still a solid job market there. Besides, there are things other than money that are important to me...It all depends what one...

Hey, can anyone tell me all the info that my sponsor should include in a sponsorship letter? I've just heard that my embassy has accepted those too. My sposor is not too happy with disclosing his personal financial info along with the I-130... Thanks for your responses! Wish you all luck!

I think you should ask at your job, or whomever set up your IRA account, in the US. Just out of curiosity...Did you know anybody in the US before you moved to there 3 years ago? Good luck,

My 2nd letter said almost nothing (new), except for the interview time. The rest was what we all know, bring original documents and copies, blah blah...
