If you are using your own assets, you don't need to fill form I-134. This form is to be filled by someone who is a permanent resident in the USA fand wants to sponsor a dv-winner.
Apart from cash, if you own shares, building or a business, you can use it. If you have already filled one of the form 230 to kcc, then you don't need to fill another one again. During the interview, the 230 form that you filled will be in front of the embassy official and questions would be ask based on the information you provided on the form. You will be ask to sign the form in front of the official.
Some participants of the American Visa Lottery are expressing doubts over the manner the American Embassy in Accra is dealing with them.
According to them the embassy is all out to deny some of them the chance of traveling to the United States of America (USA) without any tangible reason.
The Enquirer is reliably informed that some of the participants have planned to stage a demonstration at the Embassy building at Cantonments in Accra on Monday.
"We have paid $775 as visa fee and that money is quite heavy and now we are not hearing anything positive from the Embassy," one of them said.
Apart from that, the group told The Enquirer that they had to spend another $300 on medical examination.
"We had to pay money for police report clearing us of any criminal records," they told The Enquirer.
According to them, Embassy officials are now trying to use DS230 part one and two of the form to disqualify some of them.
That part of the form requires that the applicant should under affidavit provide the addresses of the person who supports him or her.
The motive is that winners of the lottery would not have the necessary documents while in the United States unless after one month.
Again, the applicant should provide the address of the person to stay with while in the United States.
The argument of the embassy, according to the group, is that they provided different addresses and that is why they are being disqualified.
They, however, told Thy Enquirer that it is possible to have two or more people accommodating a person and another supporting that person.
"Are the Embassy officials trying to tell us that we do not know how to provide information?
"We think that there is ,something fishy somewhere and that must be addressed in earnest for them to do the right thing" they said.
They, therefore, called on the Minister of Foreign Affairs Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni to intervene to ensure that they are given the right deal.
"We are appealing to the government through the Foreign Affairs Minister to help us solve the issue," they said,

Hi Mykoko,
Thx for the above information from the Enquirer. If the reason the embassy is giving is true then my advice to fellow DV 2010 winners is that let's make sure the address of our sponsor (affidavide of support) is the same as the address of where we intend staying in the US.
OUR EFFORT SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN
You should ignore the website mention in ammeck09's post. That is not an official government site. All USA government site would end in .gov.
If you are interested in applying for the upcoming DV Lottery, you should go to the following site http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ for instructions and link to the actually application site.
Best of Luck to all those who enter the DV lottery

Note, Nowhere in my post did I mentioned that the link given below that post is the official website. I put that link simply because the information or explanation was quoted direct from there.
Some of the unofficial websites offers some valuable information to complement what we obtained from the official website.

This is why I'm trying to avoid them by doing my abroad. I know it's not everyone who can opt for this, but this is a good opportunity for me to avoid them.
What is the problem of staying at a different place other than your sponsor's home? These people are taking us for granted.
I will also appreaciate to hear from forumers who are due this month.
