DV-2011 from Cameroon

Nkwain,
In my last mail I indicated that you could be current in April or May but after going through the visa bulletins again,I realized that your number could instead be current in March or April, which means the next upcoming bulletin could be yours. You know, it will still depend on when you sent the forms back to KCC because being current doesnt necessarily mean you will get an interview date .If you didnt return the forms immediately after receiving the first notification,you might not get an interview date when your number becomes current. Please,create a signature to enable us better follow up with your case.

Cheers
 
Hey Bro thanks for the quick response, i indicated in the forms i sent to kcc that i had a high school diploma and a specialised work experience. wouldv i need to provide the evidence for the two at the level of the enbassy (hi school dip and work) or just one. And for the work experience which evidence will they need? a work certificate or payslip or what? thanks man.........

Hi falainwest,
In short, I dont know what the procedures are in Yaounde but dont think it should post a problem because your name will still be included on the list of those to be interviewed for that day but you would have to take a copy of the attached 2 letter along should in case the original doesnt reached you on time.

Cheers

Falainwest,
Please put more flesh on the skeleton,what do you mean by high school diploma?you mean A-level or something else?If not, then your work experience is what would be considered. You know, you would have to choose one of them and not both before or during the interview.It would be preferable to choose A-level because it is a staright forward process because work experience has some hurdles that are tricky to understand although doable.
Waiting!
 
Just wish to extend warm greetings to all the members in the forum. Congratulations to all those who successfully passed the final interview and goodluck to to all of us that are still hoping to achieve that. I was gone for a long while, which is quite a long story. Now that i am back lets keeping the ball continuously rolling same way you all have been doing in my absence!

hello mr Njangah, still talking about my high school diploma(ie A LEVELS) and my work experience, i wrote a mail to the embassy to enquire if they will require the evidence of just one or both, and te replied saying they will require both. As for the work experience can you tell me the docs i will need to provide? waiting.....
 
Hei Falainwest,
The issue here is qualifying directly (A-Level) or indirectly (based on work experience).
The requirement for direct qualification is a pass in A-Level
while for indirect qualification would need you to;

1) proof that your work experience is from a job that requires atleast two years of training,
2) have worked in this field for 3 years,
3) and lastly, show that your field of work should have a score of 7 and above, on the US job market list.

These are the issues entangled with the indirect qualification.If that is alright for you then go for it otherwise I would advice you to choose A-Level (except,your A-Level has a problem). If you read the DV instructions carefully you will find out that only one qualifying option is needed from the two options.You may have the two options but you will be asked to choose one and your qüestions would be based on the choosen option.

Falainwest, if you make a research through other forums you will find/get just same response to these qualifying options but the final decision will be yours according to the DV instructions.

I have just one question.Why would you go for work experience if your A-Level is genuined?

Good luck

Thanks very much for the detailed explaination, i was only thinking that since i filled in the form sent to KCC i was having an A level ( equivallent to my Baccalaureate) an a specialised work experiance they embassy will need me to provide evidence for the two. From all what uve said i think choosing the A level (Baccalaureate) will be the best option for me. Thanks MAN..
 
2011 winner

Hello to all,

I would like to salute the person who started this thread, and everyone who is participating in it. I am from Cameroon living in the USA, and I am a winner of the 2011 DV. My number is really high 2011AF00072XXX. I know all I can do is just wait and be prepared. I was wondering if we have past winners who went through the process with such high numbers. Good to all of us!
 
Welcome to the forum Lenye,

According to past statistics your case number would be current for september 2011.From what I`ve read on AOS, it`s only advantagous to low case numbers but dont wanna misguide you on the issue. If you seek on my opinion, I would prefer to encourage you to emback on the consular processing which means going back to Cameroon for the interview.Since your number is moderate not high as you mentioned, I dont now whether AOS will be friendly to you especially as time wouldnt be on your side in september.Think about it and follow other discussions as the final decision would be yours.
Cheers

Hello Mr Njangah,

My other worry is the affidavit of support stuff, i do have a sponsor in usa but dont know the forms to fill, time to begin the process and i also read about an affidavid of support fees etc: can you please explain to me the whole process before i screw up..... Alain
 
can this be the steps i should follow.....

1. Complete an I-864 (and possibly an I-864A) on your computer using CAPITAL letters.

Note: you need form I-864P to complete the I-864

2. Review the Form I-864 Checklist (and possibly the Joint Sponsor’s Checklist and the Household Member’s Checklist)
3. Print the completed form(s), and
4. Attach the bar code sheet and mail them to the NVC unless you have joined the E-Mail Electronic Processing program, then…
5. Scan the I-864 to Portable Document Format (PDF) and send it as an e-mail attachment to NVCElectronic@state.gov. Sending physical documents to the NVC will delay the processing of your case. When sending completed forms to the NVC do not include instruction pages or any other sheets which do not carry information you entered while completing the form.
 
Falainwest,
I am not conversant with Affidavit of Support but it`s the right thing to do, by starting immediately so that if there are any errors or unwillingness from the person to sign the Support then you can switch without delay.What I know is that DV winners dont need an Affidavit of support(German case). But in order not to jeopardize the situation some DV winners go for it just to make their financial situation solid. If that person is willing to sign for you then,that form is the right one. What most people do as I have read in other forums is that,the person signing the Affidavit simply writes a letter accepting to receive you and would be responsible for you untill you become independent. That letter "may" include other information if necessary annaul income and probably tax sheet.You will attach the letter to your file for the interview.This option is workable especially if you yourself has a solid bank statement to show, that is above the poverty guideline for the state you intend to immigrate to.

What is circulated online about the AOS issue is inconsistent. I can only speak for myself. For myself ,I had a family of 4 persons and based in Germany. I know that people in America would not find it easy exposing their financial status and in addition would not have time to run up and down following documents, what I did was I simply made my bank statement solid that would take care of all the family members when in the US. And was above the povertyguideline,I tried to get the AOS just to put more weight on my file but couldnt just because of the above mentioned reasons, but I encouraged my host to write a letter accepting to receive us and willing to support us in terms of hardship, which he did but under hard struggle.The letter was emailed to me just on the eve of my interview. I printed it out and attached it to file.At the interview you only furnish documents that are asked for.I was asked for my bank statement here (which reflected the whole family financial situation) and wasnt asked to give any AOS even the letter that my host wrote wasnt also asked for but questions about my host were asked like, what he does, where are we going to stay and what will you be doing when in the US?

I would just recommend you to talk to your host and if he is ready to sign you the AOS then fine but if he is not ready then try to explore other avenues as I did.You have to start immediately because that is the most important document that might surely give you headache if you are not in the position of raising up your own bank statement.I hope this helps.

cheers

I have a similar problem to yours. My CN 80xxx. The little difference here is that i am based in Cameroon. I really want to hear from people who had similar CNs and were successful. In fact, it bothers me at times. What is your consideration, AOS or CP?
best regards

Hello
Below is an email i sent to the embassy in yde about the affidavit/sponsor stuff and their reply was (It is not required.). My question is how can this be possible?

hello
In the forms i returned to kcc, i indicated the adresse of my sponsor. Can you please tell me if she would be required to issue me a simple letter stating that she will assist me in USA or fill affidavit (I 864). and also if i would need to fill them.

regards

ALAIN FORBANG
