Thanks Vladek.

Hi all, I'm currently working on, to have my supporting documents translated, since most of them are not issued in English. My interview takes place in London however most of my documents will be likely translated in my country of origin (which is not UK) so would US embassy in UK (or any other...

Its not, I read it some time ago and I have missed that comment out. Thanks.

What if someone lived in States previously, is embassy going to do its own research through their systems in such case?

Thanks britsimon, this is really helpful.

I'm EU39K so it will be September if my number gets current. So I'm afraid I might be the last person to bring something to the table on that matter :D. The whole money requirement kind of contradicts the DV spirit, for people from wealfier countries its much easier to save up that amount...

For discussion's sake, its sometimes good to be misunderstood :D, and I'm not saying they are expensive or cheap, I'm just finding those states less expenisve than part of UK i'm currently live in. Per my earlier post I'm not comparing major cities nor I would take on them without extensive...

It's actually not that bad, first 10K is not taxed as personal tax free allowance in UK, than next 32K is taxed with 20% rate however you have to pay national insurance contribution on top of that, anyway on average salary (26K british pound) you would end up with 25% of deductions. I like...

I hear you SusieQQQ, still, I think you are better off in states if you in work. if you take an average income as an example and compare UK and US (2 people working in the family) which is valid for me. You would pay almost 25% in taxes in UK and only 15% in US. State tax have to be paid in MA...

Bujar, I think in this particular case they couldn't accept your university papers as a proof of your education since you have not completed your course as yet. As they simply follow a procedure (They always do) they needed to see your high school diploma from preceding educational institution...

Yes, medical insurance, scary territory, leads often to religious discussions on the topic, and daily commuting sucks no doubt about it. Ok here in Europe we pay that in taxes either explicitly in some countries or implicitly with an income tax, the average costs, though, as far as I'm...

Well we can't really look at the specific major cities because costs of living can vary significantly for them even in the same country. Once you out of "metropolitan" area you can see that costs of living are comparable or even lesser than in UK. I can settle in Hartford, Portsmouth, or...

britsimon, 16K is fine, although I saw some posts were people placed some ridiculous amounts of money (several thousands of pound) especially with relation to London embassy, so we'll see how this will work eventually. I'm prepared to have more than the sum you mentioned, I'm not going to...

Hi all, does anyone know how much money do I need to save for family of 5, I know that number may differ from one embassy to another, note I will likely take the interview in London? Also I'm working on to secure a job prior the interview, so having a job offer letter, would that allow...

EU 32K, i think ...

I was deactivated for some reason, so I had to "re-profile" myself. Now Im back, though.
