Hello house,
Please join me and we give a big shout out to the Almighty!
When we traveled on 1st June, it was Kenyan public holiday so we stayed an extra day. Reaching the Embassy on the 2nd, they had finished processing only one visa. They told us that the other would be ready the next day. We couldn't wait since both of us had only asked for a day off work and this was day 2. We left the embassy and told them that we could only pick both passports and the envelopes on the 9th June. (9th is a public holiday in Uganda).
I reached the embassy at 8am and the pick up was at 9am. They made me stay out till 8:30am (This time I traveled alone). While inside, I waited for almost 45mins or more before a lady came to the window 4 with our file. ( The security lady had called the immigration dept while I was still at the first entry check up since pick ups are always at 3pm, they had to confirm the 9am pick up)
The lady gave me the envelopes and the passports. I sat down and praise God in my heart while checking for any errors. There were no errors and that's how I walked out of the embassy. The envelopes are safe home and the passport in my bag. I had to show some friends at work today.
For the first time, it's real for my husband. We are still talking on wen to leave but our POE is Dulles Int. Airport in Maryland.
A man of God once told us that whatever one gets thru prayer can only be kept thru prayer. Now that almost everyone is current or has the visas, we should pray for favor to go before us so that we find good paying jobs easily and favor before men.

Hello House, My husband is a pharmacist and although he has an education here, he still needs an American education to practice. Does anyone know which sites I can visit for him and how we can go about his education so that he can continue in his profession. Now that we are going to be permanent residents, do apply for financial Aid and how do we can go about it too?
Apart from being a nurse? which other professions pays good? A friend of mine advised me to start as a CNA and then to a Nurse then do a Bs and specialize. Wat does the house say?

First of all, I will like to congratulate both of you on your successful acquisition of the dv visa. I'm happy for both of you and wish everything you plan comes true if it's the wish of God. I will continue to pray for you on your preparations and your eventual journey to the promised land, but one thing I will ask from you is not to depart from us - since your experience will be beneficial to current and future winners.

Hi yaro,
Congrats in advance. Come August, your case will be approved and you will have your visa. I'm sure on the blue form you were given, the circle awaiting administrative processing results. Also both of you should be alert when you receive calls and the person tries to tell you that he or she met you without a wedding ring. It happened to us and we suspected that it might be officials from the embassy. Congrats once again.

Full results out very early this year:
G. DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY 2011 (DV-2011) RESULTS
The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2011 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 100,600 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first *50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2011 numbers will be used during fiscal year 2011 (October 1, 2010 until September 30, 2011).
Applicants registered for the DV-2011 program were selected at random from over 12.1 million qualified entries (16.5 million with derivatives) received during the 60-day application period that ran from noon on October 2, 2009, until noon, November 30, 2009. The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent, or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status must contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for information on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have been used, the program for fiscal year 2011 will end. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2011 will derive no further benefit from their DV-2011 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2011 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30, 2011.
Only participants in the DV-2011 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2012 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2012 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2010.
* The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the NACARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.

MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE
Dear Colleagues, please help me give glory, honour and praise to the God Almighty for being gracious to me and family yesterday. My family had a successful interwiev yesterday and i was given a yellow sheet to submit my 3 weeks baby's passport and medicals on June 30. I tried all my best to get the baby's passport but the immigration officer in charge disappointed me at the last minute. On the yellow sheet, they have written baby's passport and medicals. Does it mean all is well? what does the yellow sheet mean? I will share my experince soon. I love you all.
JKO, congratulations to you and your family for having a successful interview. I wish you get the requested documents in time to submit to the embassy. Once this is done - the rest will be preparation towards your eventual move to the US.
A yellow sheet is given to applicants from whom additional documents are required. When you have the required documents, you should submit all the documents either in person or by post on given days and given times. Specific instructions regarding which documents are required and how to submit them are provided on the yellow form/sheet. These instructions vary on a case-by-case basis. When these documents are submitted, you don't need to contact the embassy with regards to the status of your application. The embassy will contact you on the next action or course to take.
From what you have written above, everything points to the fact that once the additional documents are submitted - your visas will be issued. Once again congrats to you all.

Hi JKO,
Congrats man, it's rather unfortunate that you couldn't get your baby passport before the interview day. No need to worry, once you submit them on the 30th, you will be fine. All the best man.
