Your interview will be in October 2010 so expect your 2nd NL in August or early September. Congrats and start preparing towards your interview.
 
What is the significant of not writing your case number on top right hand corner of your forms? I forgot to write mine but wrote it on the envelope.

Don't worry at all, it's just for convenience sake. In case any of your documents gets 'missed' with someone else, they could be easily separate the two using the Case Number written at the top.

Don't you have the minimum qualification - O/L or SSSCE? It's difficult especially in Sub-Saharan Africa to qualify for the dv lottery program by work experience.

If you have work experience you can put it there but actually it has no influence on your chances of getting the visa.
 
Please, don't let this thread die early. thanks

this thread is not going to die early. definitely not. as u know processing for DV 2011 will commence on October, so its from them i guess more ppl will be using this thread. keep ur fingers crossed n believe!
 
Dear All,

I have mailed all two forms (DSP-122 and DS-230) to KCC. My uncle has completed all documents of affidavit and will be giving it to someone in the States who will bring it to me here in Ghana. My CN is 2011AF00005xxx and I'm told I'll be current in October this year. Will the affidavit of support documents still be valid in October 2010? Thank you

With this case number, you are definitely going to have your interview in October this year. The police certificate in Ghana takes just about two weeks to process after submitting your application - so I think you can apply it in late July or early August. As I mentioned earlier on this thread, there is nothing like 'best' time to apply for it. Once it's not over six months, then you're ok to submit. The medicals can be done only when you are current, so you have to wait for the August visa bulletin which will be released in July 2010. After the bulletin is released, you can send email to kcc (best time to contact is a week after the release of the visa bulletin) to inquire about your interview date. When sending the email, you should include the following details:
1. Your Full Name
2. Your DOB, and
3. Your Case Number

About the issue of the best hospital/clinic for your medicals, I will leave it with the guys who had their medicals in Ghana since mine was done in the UK (London).

G. DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY 2011 (DV-2011) RESULTS

The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2011 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 100,600 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first *50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2011 numbers will be used during fiscal year 2011 (October 1, 2010 until September 30, 2011).

Applicants registered for the DV-2011 program were selected at random from over 12.1 million qualified entries (16.5 million with derivatives) received during the 60-day application period that ran from noon on October 2, 2009, until noon, November 30, 2009. The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent, or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must fully complete the information requested.

Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status must contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for information on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have been used, the program for fiscal year 2011 will end. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2011 will derive no further benefit from their DV-2011 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2011 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30, 2011.

Only participants in the DV-2011 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2012 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2012 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2010.

* The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the NACARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.
