DV 2008 CP Interview Experiences

thx for the reply,

because I also tought that it is not acceptable to show bank statetments with money from perents, or friends. Now seems, I am sure would not be acceptable such thing.
 
Travel Document Representation

If anyone knows about how to represent travel history to embassy and its conditions, requirements tell us to know.
-Is it necessary to provide a brief history of travels you have made so far or just a copy of passport?
-Is it necessary to attach your travel history since you had been in parents passport?
 
Yesterday on 1st October, 2 applicants had a interview in Ankara, Turkey. They were asked to find a sponsor and bring the I-134 affidavit of support..


is there any detail about the other one (not the MBA student)?
i really hope Ankara embassy hasn't changed policy:rolleyes:
 
The other one was also student..

Don't worry, they did not change anything.

Yesterday the other winner received her visa. She is a teacher, her english is poor ..She submitted all diplomas, certificates and job experience. She was not asked affidavit of support. She was asked several questions like :

- Where did you stay when you were in th US last year? Who were these people you stayed with?

- What are you going to do when you will go the US?

That's all..
 
It says on my letter: "All members of the applicant's family, listed on the attached page, must appear at the U.S. Embass/Consulate for the appointment..."

Received one more package this time from Sweden, which says exactly that and has much more pages with instructions for a medical examination. Thanks for help.

Dragoman, best wishes to you for a successful interview tomorrow.
 
almost successful..

Today we had our interview: Location: South East Asia

Our interview was scheduled at 7:00 morning. We arrived at 6:45. The employee at the gate checked our names on the list and we were allowed to pass through the gate without waiting in queue like non-immigrant visa applicants. We gave our cell phones to the security and entered to the site. There were totally about 7-8 usual and DV immigration cases. Exactly at 7:00 they started to accept applicants for submission the documents. I submitted our documents at 7:40. Local officer checked one by one, all documents, medical certificates etc and returned x-rays to us. After that we were requested to take a seat and wait. She did not give us any number and did not ask to pay the fees. We waited until 9:00, at the end she called my name and asked my wife to fill the sworn statement once again and send me to pay the fees. I paid the fees and gave the receipts to her. She told me that we will be called to be interviewed by the consular officer.

Around 10:00 they called our family name. We came to the window where a nice and very kind lady was working. She took our fingerprints first, and then we raised our hands, swear, and signed the forms DS 230 part II.

She asked 2 questions:

1) How long we have been in this country?

2) Where will we go in the US?

That’s all..!

After that we talked about Russian police certificate that I did not obtain yet. She was very helpful, she proposed some options to get the document that proofs I have no criminal record in Russia. She gave me the form on which clearly stated I need to provide them ‘police certificate from Russia’ and added I can bring it anytime with the passports and we will be granted visa. I hope I could obtain the certificate soon...

By the way, when I received the 1st NL I have noticed that during original entry I have interchanged my first and middle names. At that time I asked here several questions how to correct it. As I was advised here by the users like ‘gr8ideaman’ (special thanks to him) and later by KCC I filled the forms with the names as they appear on my passport. Consular officer did not ask anything about this mistake, on the form that I was given shown my correct name.

I hope my experience is helpful for the winners who will have an interview at later date.

Great thanks to all here for sharing information on this forum...

Good luck to everyone..
