DV 2014 - Africa winners

Congratulations on your visa Makiki! I can't wait to report the same news a year from now :D
 
Put all your documents in order and wait patiently it shall be well Tew

I'm a bit obsessed - I've already prepared most of my documents lol. My CN is so high that I just want to gather everything together in the next couple of months then just forget about the whole thing and go about my life as if I didn't win. In the off-chance I don't get an interview, that's the only way to avoid feeling completely demoralized. I plan on getting an internship, followed by a new job, etc, even if I may move back to the US within months.


What documents is everyone planning on gathering over the next few weeks in support of their application? Do you have a lot of preparation ahead of you?


For the education requirement: I need to get a new high school diploma issued to me since I lost the old one as well as have my high school write a letter confirming my graduation. I also need to request transcripts from my colleges even though they're not needed.

For financial support: I plan to ask my aunt to send an affidavit of support later in the year.

Police report: I need to get 2 police reports before the 2NL, and a 3rd one when the NL arrives. Do I need one from the US? I'm assuming it would be redundant since they'll do a background check anyway.


The above would take me less than 10 days to gather if it weren't for the fact I'm in the middle of moving.
 
I am a dv2014 winner and my case number is 2014af31xxx. I have a little problem. I came into the us on a bi visa. I am presently visiting the united states. I came in on 26th of march 2013 and was suppose to return to nigeria on the 26th of may 2013. Luckily for me, i won the dv lottery, can i adjust my status inside the us instead of going back to nigeria????
You can't ajust your status with B1 visa.

Hi Koo! Good luck on your interview!! Please keep us posted on how everything went. I believe I will likely be interviewed next May as well. Are you interviewing in Addis? That's where I'll be doing it.
 
I just received an email from the post office that my forms have reached KCC! I'm sure my file is among the first arrivals considering it's only been 1 week since the announcement of results. If date of arrival makes a difference at any point in the process, I'm happy I've done what I could to benefit from it.
