I saw this message on the State website: NOTE: As of February 2, 2012, DV Lottery visa fee has been reduced from $819 to $440 per applicant. Damn, that was a week after our interview!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Were you asked to provide sponsorship forms. We were not asked to. I have also noticed that many people who were interviewed this year were not asked to provide proof of support. Phone the embassy where you will be interviewed and ask if they will need the support. If they ask for it, I would...

Has anyone been asked for affidavit of support this year? It looks like they are not asking for that at all. Friends of ours went for an interview today, but were not asked for one.

It would be good to know the timelines involved here. What has been done; what is expected to be done and when? How realistic is that considering we only have 10 months left in the DV year? Inasmuch as I would like to see a consideration of this, I am not very optimistic, and the lower my...

Was wondering the same too :( Starting with DV12, there is no snail mail notification. All notifications are through the status check website.

I said the following: 1) Depending on your email server's security settings, the email noreply@state.gov may be be send to your junk mail without you noticing. Therefore, you may not see the eamil that tells you to check the status check website. 2) On the status check website...

Be awate that some emails filter out that noreply@state.gov email. The safest bet is to just visit https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/ and enter your confirmation number (not case number), name &DOB...and you are home and dry.

If KCC told you that your case is up for review in November, then you may have missed your interview date. Go to the status check link I gave above, enter your information as I stated earlier. If you still see the selection letter, then it means your case is not yet up for review, you need to...

You won't receive any letter. Just go on to the status verification website (https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/), and enter your information there...just the same way you found out that you won. If you are current, your letter will pop up, otherwise, you will see the old letter confirmating...

My pips received a letter from the embassy stating the following : "... Before you proceed any further, please review the requirements of the DV program and ensure that you are qualified. U.S. law and regulations require that every diversity visa entrant must have at least a high school...

My pips had their interview letter, but their letter didn't request (or even metion) the highlighted documents. Does it mean they will not be asked for AOS (affidavit of support) at the interview? Anyone with knowledge or similar experience?

Only one affidavit will cover both of you. You use I134, but the same poverty guidelines as the I864.

A "Star Spangled Banner" suit with a matching tie would be a winner :) They would better select it, otherwise the republicans would call them "Unpatriotic";) PS: This is a JOKE! Don't listen to me

Agree with you there. When I look at the pictures of my friends who won (I entered them), I sometimes wonder why I spend so much time trying to fine-tune the available pictures to be perfect. These were picures that I least expected to be acceptable. One had a shadow at the back, the other had a...

Don't Know, but they prefer you have one. At the interview, one of my friends was asked to provide one, since they had put N/A on that. Yes, If she is a student, by all means state that there; one of my frineds did that and had no problems at interview. I doubt that would be a problem at...

Considering all the questions and uncertainties being raised (especially after the May 1 disaster), I hope DOS will have a comprehensive outline of the process and be more transparent in coming lotteries (if there ever will be one). All the speculation we have here shows that there is a lot of...

Does DOS define "Fraud Countries"? How do they define them? What entry is fraudulent...using same photo over and over, using multiple names, ....?

SOund familiar? That's waht they said in May when the Status Check website suddenly fzoze. Another nullification on the way ???

Noticed that too. I was trying to print a "neater" bar code than photocopy the letter I printed out earlier, now the site is spewing out "Not Selected". Maybe they want nullify the results again. Maybe they found out that 99% of the winners have vowels in their last names :) :) :) :)

Totally agree with you there. I know people who are really devastated by this whole thing. That was the most heartless deed by the DOS. IMHO, they (DOS) should have at least done something on compassionate grounds...for me, life goes on, but for those who had been selected, I just pray that they...
