ZGREAT, never heard from him.

I am in touch with johnija who is now settled in New York and Mercy who was in Dallas. Guess what happened? I met here in Denver one DV winner guy whom i met at IOM and he is also settled in Denver already. I am in touch with some good friends from Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria. You guys should be close together so that will help each other.

My man rolex, thanks for the appreciation. I am no more into the DS forms, cut off numbers etc stuff. I feel like i am way behind in all such information. I am now more interested in sharing with you guys what the life over here looks like.

I got a little busy that's why i couldn't write the next part of my previous post. I will do write it though.

Congrats to all who got the 2nd NL.

CHEERS!

Dear Rolex,
Thank you very much for your answer. Sorry if I confused you. What I mean was I lived in two European countries at different time and I got from one of them which was easy and from the second country they asked me to have a letter which should explin why I need it. Bytheway I am also living and working in Addis at the moment. I don't know if I can send them the confirmation letter that I got when I filled the DS260 form. God-Is-Love suggested to use the 2NL which is good, but what I afraid is the time. If they take longer time, then it will be a risk. Thank you very much guys, it is really a pleasure to be member of this forum!!!

now I understand Fikir12, before u do that u should consult ppl, but is not possible to print out duplicates and send one of them? because they will send ur 2NL through mail , so you can print as many as 2nl you want , so you can send one to Europe to get what u want, I think this one is possible, u can print ur 2NL as many as u want then u can use it.

That is no issue at all, just take the new and old passport to the interview.

Brit, am wondering, if your passport is due to expire in the us after you go through, do you come back to yo country to get a replacement since you are not yet a us citizen?

Your home embassy in the US should have a process in place on how to renew expired passports without their citizens having to go back to the home country to do that in person.

You don't get an American passport until you become a citizen. So, if you need to renew your passport, you would normally do that through the embassy of your own country (in the USA).
 
Hello everyone,

Even when you can get a US passport, if you have retained citizenship of your own country you will usually still need a valid passport of that country to travel back there. (Or occasionally just for easier travel like short queues at airports, visa free in certain areas etc)
