    2015 DV Winners from Zimbabwe

    Do you know if your DS260 was processed? I would imagine you should have received your 2NL now. Maybe the one with a higher CN had their case scheduled for interview before your ds260 was processed. They say that interviews are scheduled by CNs. So, that's the only reason I think they got in...

    The good news is that one set of my pips finally landed without a glitch, save for some terrible turbulence on the way :) We are all happy. Now, I want to withdraw my brother from the sibbling petition...and I have not found how to do this. When I login, I don't see any option to withdraw from...

    I hope you found the answer you were looking for. If not, try to check the legal websites (I could have put some here, but it would sound like solicitation), they have a lot of helpful information. You can even ask them questions, the downside of that is they will try to solicit business from...

    I have seen many amicable divorces. People share custody of their children even without court intervention. I am not saying that you go and lie that you are happily married when you are not. BUT, you are not divorced either. You can tell the CO that you are separated or seeking separation. In an...

    Out of curiosity @Sm1smom, suppose: 1. You are separated. The DV requires you to put his/her name in the application. If you win, what happens? Does s/he come along as a dependent? 2. Your marriage is coming to an end, and you have realised that you have to part ways, but have not yet separated...

    Yes, we are digressing. I will let it rest. As I stated earlier, all I can do is ask, I don't have first hand knowledge in either scenario. I guess the original question could be conclusively answered by the embassy that handles the case, as they can provide specific proofs of financial...

    Sorry had to cheat :) I asked. Apparently the IRS allows a significant tax break, so he effectively pays minimal taxes. The other, who works for a Japanese company (post-pandemic), says there is a tax treaty that allows him to pay his taxes in Japan and not be double taxed in the US. I could...

    Thank you for the enlightenment...would certainly not have known the original intention of i-134 :) They should include footnotes for simpletons like me :) :) I hope this puts the original question to rest then. And, yes, there many folks that I know that continue get income from outside the US...

    Is response in 1. correct? From @Britsimon's video, I thought one could complete the i-134 for themselves. The i-134 instruction to the first entry also say "You may file this form on behalf of yourself or on behalf of a...". And the question on the i-134 itself is "I am filing this form on...

    I don't blame your sponsor for saying this. Tax returns contain sensitive personally identifiable information (PIIs) that, in this day and age, we are strongly recommended to protect by all means. Now, for the affidavit of support, we are asked to send tax information in the open, and to be...

    1. Probably depends on the embassy as I have heard different requirements. The embassy should specifically tell you want is required. In my relative's case they wanted " Completed affidavit of support form I-134 by your U.S. sponsor and the sponsor’s current tax returns. ... Completed affidavit...

    Sorry if you misunderstood my earlier response. I was saying, unless the CO determined how big the residence is, it is unfair to deny someone's application based "overcrowdness" without determining the size of a residence. For example, a 2000sq ft 5-bedroom home can easily have an occupancy in...

    If they specifically said so, can you find an alternative host address then? I find it very odd and unfair for the CO to do this, unless they checked the home size. While it's not usual to have a home occupancy this high, it is not unheard of. Many Asian families have multiple generations living...

    Sorry to hear that you are in this situation. The sad thing is that you cannot argue with them or appeal, as far as I know. possibly, they did not want you to crowd one household as 11 people??? If possible, look for another sponsor. If the CO says $46k for 6 people, I guess your sponsor is in...

    BTW, is there a way to know which case numbers are processed by which embassy?
