ajk said:
Guys i am still a little confused about the CN.

Don't the interviews start from October? Applicants are informed August/Sept?

The visa bulletin says my CN is current now.

If you're place in the visa que is determined by the CN, what impact does getting the application forms in early have?

I think i am missing something here.

ajk,
are you a 2011 winner?
the current bulletin are for 2010. the dv lottery visa fiscal year ends sept 30. so oct 1 will be the new fiscal year for 2011. therefore you should start checking the bulletins starting oct 1.
the bulletin publishes the current month's cut off cn's and the advance notification cn's for the following month, ie, sept's bulletin will have the cut off for oct and advance notification for nov.
for 2011, you cannot apply until oct 1 (as stated in the 1st nl), if you are doing aos, it will have to be oct 1. if you are doing cp, they will inform you for appointment for interview in the month you are current. however, you can send in your ds forms to kcc now.
 
I won the DV last year but I still follow the discussion. I was wondering about SA because I have not heard anything. Someone started a thread for SA winners. Check on page 2 or 3.
 
Hi Guyanese,

Nice to see someone from the caribbean winning. I won the DV last year but I still follow the discussions. This year I made entries for a family member and also two Guyanese friends of mine. Have not heard anything yet. It seems this year SA winners may be limited this year.
 
Pls somebody answer my question,the visa bulettin for Nigeria in june is 17,200 dose that mean if your case number is below the cut off number your interview will come up in june?
 
Guys, thanks for your help!

You are absolutely right, i have been looking at the wrong bulletin!!!

I haven't really understood all the process, but kept reading 'get it in now' so was a bit panicked!

I have sent my forms, checked and rechecked all the details tried to be as thorough and accurate as possible. They should arrive tommorrow.

Now that i know i had more time, i wish i slowed it down a little, not stress so much; i hope i didn't mess anything up.

For the 'all schools attended' i did not include primary schooling...will that kill my applications.
I have include secondary, college and university though.

Do you know if you can contact KCC and get confirmation that all your documents are ok, while waiting for the interview slots to come available?

For my region (OC) my CN is less than 200 so this means i am in with a good chance then?
I don't think i will have any trouble with the documentation requirements, as i have had to have all this handy to get into the UK (where i currently live).

Cheers,
Ajk

If you haven't finished your J1 requirements you will be denied a GC so better check if you have been back in France for 2 years as the requirements are for a J1 visa......All the times you have spend abroad will be added to get to the 2 years for completion....if you have met the reqquirements than you should be fine, otherwise you can end up paying all your fees after winning the lottery and be denied for a GC and that isn't what you want....so check a.s.a.p.:)

Hi Guys,

Quick question about J1 and Dv-lottery winner.

Question 1:
I have an interview to get my J1 visa in july 2th, my question is: if I get the J1 in july AND after that I receive the NL DV-lottery 2011, can I go to USA ussing J1 while I am waiting for my GC interview? I nkow I have the 2 years requeriment, BUT, can I apply for waiver in this case?

Question 2:
If i can apply for waiver, is there a limit date to apply for the waiver, for exemple, I get my J1 (3 years valid) in july 2010, and my interview for GC is in jan 2011(for exemple), Can i just apply for waiver even if my j1 is still valid?

Thanks a lot!!!
 
Friends,

I have a few questions:
a) on the dsp-122 form page 1 - Can I select both high school diploma & Vocational school - as I have both
b) on the ds-230 where it asks about previous entry and the question is "location" is that asking for the airport that you flew into when you arrived? eg. LAX or SFR or NYC ?

thanks
 
Thanks for the wishes rumboj001!
I am starting getting a bit worry since I did not see anyone from SA yet .. if numbers will be low for SA I will probally have a high number for the 2011 year. I guess I need to be patient and wait untill October to find out!

Yes. But it also depend on when you sent your forms back to KCC. If you sent them early enough, then your interview will be in June. If not, then your interview will be in the following months.

are you sure that's your number? that sounds way off the charts.

Although I am not really a specialist in visa matters, but your number seems to be rather high. What's the date of your letter?
 
Well I received it on 31st May 2010, the letter was sent by KCC on 27th April 2010.

In general does the case numbers are invited to interview by first 50,000 entries (all other the world) or how it works? I just don't get the principle of this system.
 
I think you should read visa bulletins for each month to check if your case number has become current. You have to keep checking until the end of the fiscal year in the United States and if your number doesn't become current by then, your chances of getting your gc are gone. Also, I would recommend you check some other related posts on this forum since I am definitely not the best source for you.
 
Can anyone explain in a detailed way this steps:
especially I want to know how KCC confirmed receipt ? and what is the "current" and where can you check it ?

CN-2010AF00019XXX
NL SENT BY KCC-MARCH,09

Hello Everyone,

I am from France and I am in the US for the moment with a Q1 visa. I pass trough France Service and they received my letter in May 14, and they called me as soon as they received the letter. I send the paper back to KCC and I am waiting for my 2nde letter. I am hoping to pass the interview in January in France, I decide to do it in my country because they say it was going to be quicker.
Good Luck to all !!!!
