Been 2.5 years so far, and counting the days to become a citizen.

It has been something else. One of life's best experience, from being selected to receiving the visa. It's true that one goes through some nervousness and you keep wondering what if something goes wrong, especially if you're put on Administrative Processing, but when it's all history you will look back fondly at it all.

Being in America, especially if you come from a third world country like myself, is pure joy. You probably know how everything in those countries is a struggle against corruption, disorder, bribery, and dysfunctional bureaucracy. This makes doing even the simplest things here a joy because you compare it in your mind to how it's done back home. I sometimes even go out for a drive without going anywhere, just to enjoy the open clean roads where people stick to their lanes and stop at traffic lights etc. :p The physical green card itself is a beauty that I can't stop admiring to this day, and sometimes I don't even believe that I actually have it in my hand. I wish you will all get to enjoy these feelings, whether here or in another country where you can live your dreams :)

Am in the same boat as you...its an awesome experience n moreover when you've come back from short visit to africa and the cops direct you for a self check in kiosk you feel proud to be in America.....all the best to May selectees:):)
 
Is it binding to insert an US address in the DS-260 form? Or I can leave it blank and notice an US address during the interview?

Thanks :)

I don't think there will be any issues. Probably the time out thing that happened last year but who knows, its all possible. What part of the world are you from?

I understand your point of not having lot of hopes on this. The chances of winning is only 1% and I started to apply for this since the previous lottery of 2016, they are some people that are lucky and get selected on the first try and they are others that even try 9, 10 and 14 times. After my first not selected, I approach this in a different way now and will just celebrate if I get selected, if not then move on with normal life activities.
