Like I said before, this is just my 2 cents. This is a free society, you could do whatever you like, I could care less. The only reason I even bothering replying your post is that I can't believe how absurd this is. Of course I know this has happened before, but posting this kind of inquiry...

It is this kind of fake marriage that will cost other decent applicants their future chance of getting the DV visa. If the US government finds out, they will definitely cancel this DV program for good. This is definitely not an encouraging act at all. Just my 2 cents.

Peng, the place with the most Asian/Chinese would probably be Los Angeles in the west coast, and New York City in the East coast. You can pretty much get everything by living there, very convenient with all kinds of amenities you can think of. I guess it would be a good place to get settled...

Thanks for the reply will.truman, thanks for your reply. I also got a confirmation from AIT saying that these are the forms to prepare for the meds. btw, are you also a past winner? If so, congrats to you. Here is AIT's reply for anyone that's interested. twangela, haven't heard...

Help! Medical Exam Same here. In my 2nd package received from KCC, there isn't any "physical examination form" or "medical instructions" regarding what forms to prepare! Do any of you remember what forms is needed for the medical exam? I found these forms available for download at AIT...

Security Clearance? Thanks twangela for your reply, one thing off my checklist! :p I have another questions, reading from another thread, they were discussing the possible processing time for security clearance. Do nationals from Taiwan ROC require to go through this so-called "Washington...

Catseyes, this post is most helpful and covers almost all the issues that any new DV winner might have. I second her suggestion to make this article a sticky. :)

Bank Statements for Interview As I was preparing the documents, I noticed that the bank statement I plan to present to AIT CP interview would be my savings at Emigrant Direct (Online High-Yield Savings Account). Would it be an issue ? Though Emigrant Bank (owner of Emigrant Direct) is actually...

From the US Senate site, it says something like this, .. create a program that awards visas to aliens with an advanced degree in science mathematics, technology, or engineering. Probably the amended DV program will give 2/3 of the quota to people in these professional fields in the future.

Also, this email is using the name of a "legitimate" airline website, UniAir, that is based in Taiwan. UniAir could definitely sue them for using their trademark without their consent. Plus, the logic of this email is a bit messed up, how and why would an airline company sponsor a program that...

That's a scam as well. Official DV winners will only be notified through regular mail (paper mail). All notifications that is received through emails are from Web sites posing as U.S. government sites. For more info, please read: Diversity Visa Lottery:Read the Rules, Avoid the Rip-Offs...

Thanks twangela & nonopopo for your reply. I emailed AIT asking them what is the next step I should do if I decided to change my interview to an earlier date (after being informed of a specific interview date by KCC), still no response from them after almost a week. I tried calling them at the...

Regarding AOS Welcome to our thread ImInUtah, also congrats to you. :) I had the same dilemma when I received my DV2006 NL back in May 2005. From the research I did both here and NTU BBS forum, I was surprised to find completely different views on Adjustment of Status (AOS). On NTU...

Congratulations nonopopo on receiving your GC. I was just about to ask on the thread whether we can pay the fee at AIT using US credit cards. Thanks to you, my question is answered. But on a side note, can AIT accept AMEX (I assume they accept VISA or MasterCard) for the fee? I called KCC...

Wow, after reading your hint, I think I know the answer. But I would feel bad if I took the liberty of answering it right away without znaty giving a shoot first. Peng, it is definitely true that a quiz like this could lighten up our spirit while waiting for the GC application. :p Just...

Welcome, Mishel! Hello Mishel, You are most welcome to join our discussion on CP experience. Sorry to leave an impression that this is a Taiwanese-only club or some sort, though this thread is mainly geared toward sharing of CP experiences at American Institute in Taiwan (AIT). Personally...

Re: Working and Living in the US twangela / cnlin, Forming a club / sharing our experiences is a great idea. In the meantime, I can probably answer some of the questions you might have re: living and working here in the States through this thread. I will do my best to provide the most...
