Britain is gorgeous. Lived there for a while, and would've resided there if I could learn to drive on the wrong side :p

The site is devastated! I entered for 6 other people and will check their entries, so there is a chance I might be giving someone life-changing news today :)

Here is something to get you pumped up a little... Found a screenshot I took when I checked and found a selection notification. Hope you will all see this on May 3rd :D

Cairo, Egypt. Actually I'm not the best one to advise on the transition, since I already had ample savings that I transferred to the US and been living on them as a retiree :) Generally though if you are someone who respects the law and has good work ethics you should be successful in building a...

I remember that incident, and I can't imagine the heartbreak of those who were informed that they made it only to later be told that it was a mistake... Wow! :(

Been 2.5 years so far, and counting the days to become a citizen. It has been something else. One of life's best experience, from being selected to receiving the visa. It's true that one goes through some nervousness and you keep wondering what if something goes wrong, especially if you're put...

No notification about the second draw, and I almost didn't check again. If my memory helps, when they put up the 2nd NL online, they emailed me that my status has been changed.

Good luck people. If I remember correctly, it took me about 14 tries until I got selected, and it wasn't even on the first draw, rather on the second one back when they sometimes did a second one to reach the target number of visas. Don't give up hope, if you don't get selected continue...

Sent you a private conversation to ask about something :)

Hello people. Sorry to see that no one here got selected. Let me tell you how I believe this should be done. You need to understand that the chance of being selected is small. So you should not at all build high expectations. You need to focus 100% on your current life, how to improve it through...

Orlando, Florida. Everything is clean and safe, driving is an absolute joy, people are friendly (except in certain areas that you should avoid), and dealing with government offices to get any documentation or even registering your car will leave you laughing hysterically because of how easy and...

Hiiii!!! I'm a veteran winner from Egypt, now in America for a year. Just thought I would stop by and wish you good luck. It's so very good here you would feel depressed when you go back to visit Egypt! Cheers :)

So, I am a US permanent resident, but still have 5 years to become an American citizen. I have an Egyptian passport. Now I need to change my name in the US, and I know exactly how to do it through court without a problem. The thing is, in Egypt name changes are not allowed. You can only change...

The first part of my story can be found in the signature, and here is an update for those feeling curious about what to expect. I arrived at JFK, handed the envelope to the passport control officer, who asked me to look at a camera and snapped my photo. She then told me to follow her to the...

My father who is 80 years old was a permanent resident of the USA. Then in 2008 he stayed outside of the US for about 18 months, and filled an SB-1 application for a returning resident Visa, and on the interview produced doctor's statement that he was undergoing treatment. The lady interviewer...

So, after arriving in the USA, the basic things one would need is a cell phone line and internet access. I don't want contracts at this point, and I'd rather have a throw-away pay as you go stuff. What is the best pay as you go SIM card that would work on my quad band GSM phone? Where can I...

No problem at all. I'm an Egyptian born in Saudi and the Egyptian certificate worked just fine for my application. yes, choose unknown. Yes, she can. Just make sure that there is a real statistical advantage for doing so. I don't know if chances are better for people chargeable to Egypt...

Of course I'd value any sound information. Saw that case you're talking about and unless I'm talking about a different one that case involves claiming a different country of changeability when the country of birth is eligible. I think he should just do as you said since it's a very tricky one...

I'd say don't risk it and take a new photo. For DV-2014 the last I heard was that no additional entries will be chosen since a bigger number was selected in May's draw. Others can shed more light on this.

A friend is about to apply for DV-2015. He was born in England, a country whose natives are not eligible to enter. His parents were born in Poland, so he wants to put Poland as his country of chargeability. The question is, when he was born his parents were in England for 3 years working for a...
