DV-2009: wife got selected though advise needed

Dear all,

Yesterday my wife got a letter stating she has been selected for the DV-2009. We are both very happy though we still have some questions which we hope somebody can help us with.

As for the form DSP-122, question 6 and 7 are both questions which are a pre-requisite for the greencard entitlement procedure.

Now my wife does have a high school diploma, even a Bachelors Degree. Though as for question 7 where they state a job which needs 2 years of training, WE HAVE NO IDEA what this means. My wife has several work experiences though there is nothing saying that you need 2 years of training. So my our plan is to move forward with the high school diploma which should be sufficient, can we simply skip the 7. question and put N/A OR do we need to put in all her WORK experiences.

We fall under the European region and her number is like 25XXX . Would somebody be able to give an estimation of a possible interview date. Is this number OK or is it high. We are curious about or chances :)))

Thanks for your help

hi

hi

congratulation to both of you.
The education of your wife is sufficient to make her eligible as an eligible DV winner and you can skip question 7. Either of these two ( education or 2 years of work experience ) is required for eligibility, so i think you can show the educational background only.

Your number is rather high, but you should still be ok. You can check the visa bulletins of the previous years to see when your number was current in the previous years. Here's the link to the bulletin: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html
The DV-year starts in October and lasts till September. If your number is below the one listed for Europe in the Diversity Lottery section, this is the month you would have had your interview in the previous years.

Thank you for the reaction so far,

one other question regarding SSN number.There is an option where the ask if you would like them to apply for the SSN number.

Should we say yes ? Or can you apply later when you have received your GC.

What is the impact of applying directly when applying for GC ?

Grateful if you could give your thoughts on this.

Thank you,

Concerning Social Security Numbers

Hello,

Should your current SSN have some writings to the effect that " Not valid for employment without USCIS Authorization" then you would definately be better off applying for a new SSN card that does not have such, otherwise if your card does not have conditional requirements, you do not need to request a new card.

We come from Europe, so we have never had a SSN before. On the papers you can already apply for it, they ask this so is it better to apply right away or just wait until after the GC.

As for question 7 and the job requiring 2 years of training, what is best thing to answer. If you answer no does this entail any risk. High school degree is no problem, we both have more than 12 years of studies. If you answer yes you need to clarify and maybe the job we mention does not imply 2 year training need in US so myabe safer no to put a yes there.

What is your advise on this and what is the experience of other GC winners.

Thanks for the help,

PS Under question 3 they ask for rank number (on enveloppe) though can I assume this is just the case number ?

If you have a minimum of an equivalent High school diploma (S6 in Uganda, not sure what it is next door), and have a certificate showing that, then you neednt worry about work that required a 2 year training program.

Although we had that, we selected the education option, and even when we presented our degrees during the interview, they were pushed back coz all they wanted was our high school certificates if we had them.

Good luck
