    I don’t care, she’s not God, I don’t have to defer to her just because you do. Also, just mind your own business, will you?

    DV 2019 AOS Only

    In those situations she should just keep quiet instead of assuming things, a question on this forum is not a question to herself, it’s a question to all members; I don’t feel the need to assume things about people when they ask basic questions, I just keep quiet and let others answer.

    Yeah, who cares, keep assumptions and judgments to yourself, I got my answer elsewhere, so I’m good!

    DV 2019 AOS Only

    Thank you @Mxmlittle you answered my question in a non-judgemental way, it’s much appreciated. That’s what I thought too, I also wrote on the “DV fee form” “please see money order enclosed for DV fee payment”. I used a WesternUnion money order. I was told by a previous selectee that any money...

    DV 2019 AOS Only

    If you don’t want to answer my specific question you should just say so instead of assuming I didn’t read the instructions. My question is a practical question, given I did not use a postal money order(because I know of previous selectees who used other money orders that are not postal money...

    A follow-up to this question: If the money order is too small and that, after writing the full DV program etc. St Louis street address in the recipient section there is only a small “memo” space left just enough for the CN, is it ok to only write the CN and not put the selectee name on the money...

    Does sending the DV fee payment before the 2NL(a few months in advance) is sent have any effect on whether or not the 2NL will be sent out?

    It's not just about numbers, it's about tackling problems on the ground, problems that-should I remind you-are threatening the very existence of the DV lottery through congress.

    Instead of using helicopters, why not radio and TV? Do you really think every secondary school teacher knows about migration across oceans??? You guys seem unaware that not everybody share our basic understanding of the world in 2015.

    IF they do that in Ghana, well and good. But why just Facebook? Why not the radio? That's what I'm saying, we should be more practical.

    Their information and community engagement will clear people's ignorance. The lack of information reinforces ignorance. Embassies should communicate more, how else do you think mindset changes? Communication plays a part. All I am saying is, there remains a lot of ignorance out there and it...

    That post was mistakenly sent under my username by a friend of mine who was browsing the forum on the same computer. I am from Central African Republic.

    Hmm, I understand your point on enforcing the law and prevent scams (doing the work of the police, obviously the embassies can't do that, and shouldn't do that. That's up to local law enforcement). I perfectly understand you on this point and I couldn't agree more. Religious sects are a more...

    You got me wrong there, don't blame the US government for the failure of certain embassies in carrying out what they ARE instructed to do by the State Department. What I'm saying is not just around the DV lottery, it concerns any intercultural activities. Embassies are not just outposts for...

    People like you and I, and so many others in these threads can be expected to do online research. But we have to understand that we only represent 0.01% of the average mindset. It is sad but most people hear about the DV from the 1st time through a shady "visa agent/consultant" and this is true...

    What do you think of the communication/community engagement done by embassies around the DV lottery? I think there's a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about the DV lottery in the mind of an ordinary individual, and that's mainly why visa agents have thrived so much and fraud has become...

    Yeah, I think a birth certificate and police records are the only ones that apply to me.
