Nope, you don't need to. The certificate of good conduct that you have in hand is the one you need. Good luck

I'm pretty sure a person who was not selected who rather have been selected with a high CN ;)

When you track your family's green card on ELIS, what does it say? Once endorsed, the DV visa serves as a temporary green card for one year and your family should be able to travel to the US within a year from endorsement date. However, expect some scrutiny at the POE if you have been outside...

Thanks Khchan, Which part of California are you in? Initially I'll arrive to Brooklyn, NY but eventually planning to settle in San Jose, CA.

You can find both on your visa. The alien number is found on your visa as "Registration number". You just need to add A0 in the beginning. DoS ID is your case number. It's also found on your visa as IV Case Number.

Hi Khchan, Here are my answers to your questions: 1) The notification letter does not list any required documents. It basically gives you your interview details. 2) Your friend will have to submit documents by 9:00am in the morning where he will only meet an embassy local staff - Not a consular...

In some countries - I think Syria included - you get assigned a new passport number once you change/renew your passport.

Disappointing but not unexpected! Hopefully this month's slow increase will be compensated by a considerable jump in next month's VB, though I doubt it. I think Simon's next update of CEAC data will give us a probable indication of how things are going once we see how many visas have been issued...

It depends on where your interview is. Some embassies (like Kuala Lumpur where I had my interview) ask to see only your highest level. Other embassies are more strict and insist on having a high school. And even within embassies, sometimes it varies by CO.

Yeah I'll try to do that once I land. Thanks heaps Susie :)

Thanks Susie. I got it updated on ELIS but like you said, I doubt it would override the address they have in the system. I'll just do my best to have it changed at the POE. Just to imagine the worst case scenario, what would happen if they end up sending it to the old address?

Thanks @SusieQQQ and @Sm1smom for your input. Another question. My friend staying in the address which I provided as an address in the US will be moving out next month and will have no access to that place anymore. Aside from changing the address at POE, is there any way to change it before or...

Following this recent thread about activating GC before arriving to the US. Never heard of this before. What exactly is that? Any links I can follow to learn more about this?

Thanks @Sensei-san. My country of chargeability is Yemen but I haven't lived there for the past 12 years. From BritSimon's embassy league table, it seems that the US embassy in Bangkok processes a very few DV cases. If you meet the requirement and have all documents in order, then I think you...

Praying for you all to make it through :)

Thanks all :)

Thanks Susie. TAL is "Technology Alter List" http://www.pengweber.com/answers_for/VisaProcessing/tal.html

We had our interview yesterday in Kuala Lumpur. I’m glad to say that our visas were APPROVED :) Thank god, the endless stress and worrisome regarding whether I would make it or not has now ended. Now starts the planning and preparation for the big move. Since there aren’t any winners...

What an interesting story! If you contact KCC either by phone or email using your case number, full name, and date of birth, they'll provide you with your appointment details (i.e. Date and time). You should do that at least for now to know when your appointment is and get prepared accordingly.

2nd Notification Letter. It's basically the letter you receive notifying you of your interview appointment details after your case number becomes current and your forms are done processing.
