Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated! I'm (European living in Canada) currently also applying for permanent residence in Canada, but only because I never expected to become a DV selectee in the first place. This application is obvious from my current status in Canada. There was...

Interesting question. Just to clarify: A DV winner does not NEED to have medical insurance in the US prior to entering the country, right? Another issue came up in my case: I noticed on my 2nl that my address at the top of the letter is wrong. It has my correct Canadian address, except that it...

My interview is in a month, and my medical is coming up, too. And even though it looks like everything is in good shape (just waiting for a PC from Germany now), I'm worrying about EVERYTHING now... Two slight issues remain: 1. I did high school in Germany. I have a certified translation of my...

I'm current now, the interview is in about 1 month from now. Just waiting for the last docs to come in. I got my criminal background checks right after I was selected for the 2015 cycle last May, but obviously they are expired now, so I have already requested new ones. And the high school...

Sorry for the late reply, it was a busy week. I'm current now, waiting for my interview in just over a month's time. My medical is coming up soon, too. Yes, thanks for the help! I figured it out by following that link. My confusion was based on the fact that I was checking the DS-260...

This seems such a silly question, but I'm not sure what to do: My case # is going current soon, and I got an email today to check www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC for an update. But when I'm trying, I just can't log on. I'm prompted for my confirmation number in the format 2015xxxxxxxxxxxx (=16...

Great. Thanks for clearing that up. Final question (for now I guess...), regarding the medical exam. I never had any serious illnesses, and there are no chronic diseases in my family either. I guess that's enough to pass the medical exam, or are people sometimes rejected for medical reasons...

Thanks again for the answers. This forum is certainly proving very helpful! Despite reading the instructions on the CEAC website very carefully, there are still 2 points that I don't understand (case number EU 24xxx): 1. I submitted my DS-260 only days after the system started accepting them...

Am I reading the numbers wrong, or is 20,500 the limit for FEBRUARY, not January?: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin/2015/visa-bulletin-for-january-2015.html The cut off for January is 16,000, or am I mistaken?

Thank you so much for the answer! I don't see how these criteria would be an issue in my case. But then, you never know. I'm cautious by nature... My following two questions I am sure have been asked over and over but I can't find the exactly relevant posts here. 1. I am still not 100% clear...

Hi, My case number is EU 24***, I assume my interview is coming up in April/May/June. As I prepare the docs for it, I am wondering about the following point: I am hopeful regarding the outcome of my interview, but what are the most common reasons for getting turned down in the interview? I'm...

Another question occurred to me after following the discussion here: I'm an EU DV winner, but currently live in a country whose citizens aren't eligible to participate in the DV lottery (Canada). The location of my interview will be the US consulate in this country (no interview scheduled...

Hi Britsimon, Thank you very much for the information. One more question came up: Now I'm just a little worried about the exact timing of my interview. I hope there is going to be enough time between when I get the interview notification and the interview to get the police certificates. I...

Hi Everybody, I'm new to the forum, this is my first post, I'm a 2015 Diversity Lottery winner, case number EU24***. I am somewhat hesitant to use forums like this one because in most forums it is hard to distinguish facts from hearsay and opinion. Nevertheless, I found some of the info here...
