Just some more info gathered in one place, this might address Morandi's or some other similar questions, NOTE this is meant to be just an overview (in fact this is copied over from other forum) so please do double check current state of things on official gov. websites: Green card holders...

SnowAngely, you could always top up your savings a little bit by using cash borrowed from friends, family or shifting money from credit card to current account, that should work perfectly if you would just put some missing bits needed to fulfil the quota even shortly before the interview (not...

If you are able to get some savings I-134 might not be compulsory (it wasn't for me on DV-2014 case), my interview was conducted in London and 30K$ of savings was enough for my family of 5. Saying that consular officer was more interested in our plan of settling in US, if you speak the...

The letter is rather vague for that matter, it lists main applicant and family members (who aims to travel with the applicant), there is no specific wording with regards who should attend the interview. Per Franko's advise, the letter might be your best option you can use US embassy mailing...

Try to open new thread on your question, I'm not an expert in this, but there is a way for undergoing the whole process from withins US, you might be eligible for this, see here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/instructions-for-selectees/adjustment.html...

Hi Adela, on your question, if I can recall correctly Franko is not quite a father figure as yet ;D, however look here, first thread's entry: http://forums.immigration.com/threads/successful-dv2015-interview-london.323325/ "Wife's case number was 2015AF00004***, and we had the interview at 8am...

Franko, just few more words of cautions ... this is (the insurance cost) just the beginning, family with children - like mine- will likely spend the full "Annual deductible" amount of money, i can say that based of experience, I have one child ill after another during the "winter" season...

Its worth to emphasize that two hospitals / health centers placed within couple of blocks between each other might charge you quite different amount of money for the very same procedure, so its worth to know the local providers however it's very unlikely that one would do a research while...

I understand that main applicant can travel alone, and family members can follow and enter later as soon as main applicant is already "activated", or should all applicants travel together for the very first time?

It seems that you are quite convinced about the emigration from your country to US, so my advice it, do it, if you don’t try it - you might regret it. However, based on information you gave if I were you I would not burn the bridges, try to keep your job (career break, arrangements …) / house...

Multiple applications done year by year can't disqualify you, if you are selected and eligible your visa will be granted. However I would imagine that multiple application submitted for the same fiscal year might be detected and rejected, so at this point if you plan to submit application on...

Im still around, not that frequent visitor as earlier, though. Pls. reply on the conversation I just opened.

Congrats Vladek! I thought my interview was hilarious with younger children crawling on a carpet, and teenager manifesting his extreme boredom in front of the consular officer, yours was better, though, no doubts about it.

I would imagine so, I wonder what you felt: - Finally! - What have I done? - Really? :D. I thought that the hardest bit was to get through with the application, Im starting to realise that real fun is just about to begin ...

Yes, i was asking about Visa appearance so franko's post clarifies the matter.

Is there any specific type of Visa on them like B1/L1,or a wording for that matter which would indicate Visas type? I'm just curious. thnx.

You have to document at least:  a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education; OR  two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or...

If I would have planned this trip for just myself I would arrived on the same day and probably took train, however with whole family I had to make sure that everything will go nice & smooth so we could enjoy the trip rather than being stressed out. Franko if you received your passport back can...

I agree, in hindsight train would have been safer, however car was more convenient for our family, so I think I would again go by car although I would probably go beside M1 instead of M1 itself so I could drive off the main road and take diversion if needs be.

Hi all, as promised this is my DV “interview” story, first of all Franko apologies for stealing your thread, since this is London embassy and a successful interview I thought I could add few lines underneath as well. Hopefully someone will find this helpfull. My interview was scheduled for...
