    Visa Bulletin September 2016

    I'd say at least in February since forms are submitted significantly late - hope I'm wrong but this is from my own experience. Good luck

    Visa Bulletin May 2016

    So why wouldn't they write "current" instead of faking a huge jump of 6000 CN in Europe ?!

    How much time to receive GC??

    I remember to have used the same site where I payed the GC (if you don't remember let me know). You would need the confirmation number to check the status though... How long did it take for your mother-in-low to get the interview, from the time you applied?

    The "been there done that" thread: life in the US after DV

    @SusieQQQ maybe because we have a child: Twenty-nine states, plus the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, have chosen to provide Medicaid coverage to lawfully residing children and/or pregnant women without a 5-year waiting period. Or/and because being...

    The "been there done that" thread: life in the US after DV

    Is Medicaid comsidered enough coverage? I think so, having read the booklet of what it covers, it's awesome for those who just arrive and do not have a job... I got it very fast when I arrived <1 month but I had to wait about 2.5 months for supplemental health coverage.

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Proof of address is required through an utility bill. Start with a smaller bank. You need to keep lower daily balance in order not to pay the monthly fee.

    VISA Bulletin for October 2015

    Won't you give us details on when you submitted DS260 form @Tinjana and @waelrt ? This way you'll let us understand how far has KCC gone with processing. It seems so far they have reached not even mid June submissions.

    DV 2016 OC Selectees

    Some people who have submitted the form by late May (27-28) have reported to have received no 2nl so it's obvious June forms are not proccessed yet.

    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    Yes @deni you need to get both the certificates you mentioned. If your interview will be in Tirana (not Naples) you need to translate the docs in English (not Albanian) and notarize.

    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    Hi Adela, I guess that registering with a courier is a must in every country so you can pick up the visa in a pick up point of your choice. Do it before interview of course.

    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    You have to show proof (funds) you can initially sustain yourself in US, so not become a public charge, until you find a job. A sum of $40k would be good.

    Finding a job in the USA

    Well it's almost all online... build a good resume (sometimes companies have their own forms), send as many applications daily and follow up by responding quickly to interview invitations! Try indeed.com (the best) and craigslist.org (also for housing, cars etc). For me it's starting to work...

    DS260 Form Help!

    No reason to be afraid of opening DS260. You can put data, save them and return later on to add or edit info. Don't know your CN but suggest to submit the form asap in order to avoid delays.

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Hi @Sam16XXX . You better go to the nearest SSA office where you will be able to get the SSN. No need for the physical card (which will come after 7-10 days by mail) to complete all things you mentioned.

    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    Just paid the Immigration Fee at USCIS ELIS and the 'bubble' moved almost instantly to Optimized status (I was expecting to get Accepted status first). Also received this confirmation by e-mail. The process seems to go fine even though it will be completed after we enter the States next week :)

    The "been there done that" thread: life in the US after DV

    Thanks for your suggestions @Sm1smom . Of course I´m aware of the need of having a proper health insurance, it´s just that I was concentrated on my child´s immunizations. @SusieQQQ while googling I came up to the NY State Vaccines for Children Program where results seem to be the same as your...

    The "been there done that" thread: life in the US after DV

    Not sure this was explained before in some other thread but I need to know whether shots (immunizations) for infants are offered free at any (or selected) health center in USA. If not, does the child need to have health insurance of his own or my job health insurance can cover him (I´ve heard...
