Dear Friends, I am asking a question on behalf of my friend who won the DV 2007. He wonders how much money should he , his wife and his two sons have in their bank accounts as they do not have anybody in the State who can support them and fill the affidavit of support form for them? Thanx

Ssn Thank you for your helps. The advised web site was quite useful for me.

Can anyone help me and tell me what is the procedure of applying for SNN after entering to USA? Should we go to specific office or just fillling the related item in our forms during intrview is enough and we should wait for it to be mailed to mentioned address.

Thank you very much for your kind advise. Actually as we are from Iran, I think the procedures will be a little bit complicated but finger cross that it wil be OK. The link was quite useful for me. Cheers :)

Does anyone has any experience about Dallas port of entry? How are the officers? What sort of question, they will ask?

Dear Mr. Matinfar, You are more than welcome. If I were in your place, I did not change the place of interview, because: Ankara consulate is less busy than Abu Dhabi as many Iranian travel to Abu Dhabi for applying for non-immigraion visa (it is cheaper, easier and nearer). So, if you change...

Dear Saeed, It seems having Affidavit of Support is very important for them. As you mentioned, it is somehow unfair to ask everyone for the support, but well there is no choice. I think they make much fuss with Iranians rather than other nations. Regarding our case, we had affidavit of...

First of all congratulation Denniz for being one of the winners of DV 2007 :) 1) All of the required documents which has been listed on first NL should be translated as non of them is in English (Birth certificate, Marriage certificate, Diploma, BA certificate, Bank statemenent and others)...

Ankara or Abu Dhabi They have selected the place of your interview. If you read the first page of your package I mean the congratulation letter, you can find where is your interview. But I think you can change it. Ours was in Ankara. Not bad, but Abu Dhabi is cheaper and you can find every...

Security Clearance My friend Tawhid, I really can underestand your situation, as security check is like nightmere. But pls. keep in mind that it will be cleared. Regarding your question as far as I know, 1- Security Check: It will normally takes between 4-6 week. But it also depends where...

Mer30 my friend. Hope yours will be issue very soon. :D

Name Check hey, as our interview was in Ankara (Turkey), I used to check the official website of US consulate in Ankara. There is section there "Security Clearance" which will be up dated weekly. When our case number has been shown (after 10 weeks), we travelled to Turkey and went to embassy...

Dear Tawhid Our security check took about 11 weeks!! İt was like endless nightmere. There is no way to check your status as Washington do not reply to us. We checked our status with the US consulate where we had our interview. Actually the duration of the FBI check varies from person to...

Dear Afraid After our security check has been done our case number published in consulate website where we had interview.

Actually I did not contacted Washington as they will not reply to us. The embassy should contact them to get aware about each person's status. In our case the embassy wrote me that they receive e-mail from Washinton about our case and so on..... The weired thing is that why should you send...

Dear Kari 77, They could not keep our passport during the Security Clearance as we are Iranian and we do not have US embassy in Iran so we traveled to Turkey for the interview and for returning to home we required our passport. Are you stuck in FBI name check? Where are you come from?

My Friend, first of all I would like to tell you that I am "MRS" not "MR" :p . Our number was AS39XX. We are from Iran and we had our interview on 11th of March in US consulate in Turkey. The person who interviewed told us that the procedure will take (normally) 4 to 6 weeks or even 8 weeks...

Our security name check has been completed last Thursady after 11 weeks. 11 weeks full of nightmere and doubt but finally it came :D . They told us in the embassy that it normally will take between 4-6 weeks. We will go to US embassy next Tuseday to get the visa.

Well, the interview was pretty smooth and very short. They did not have asked very especial questions. Just routine questions. The problem is with FBI name check (security name check), which will be applied for certain nationalities (it is obvious that Iran is one of the main ones). The...
