There are no family based wins. All wins are family based in principle because family members are automatically eligible to join the winner (if, of course, you are married and you are the legal parent of the kids). Note that I said eligible to join. If you decide not to officially include the kids at this point for whatever reason, they are excluded from the application. That means they cannot join you. Not now, not later. Maybe after 5 years when you become a citizen, but I take it that's not really an option.

Still waiting, Europeans living in Asia. This is our 7th time, so not very hopeful but we'll keep trying nonetheless. We're happy here too but would like to return one day since our 3 children were born in the US during our 4 year stay and therefore all hold US citizenship. Pretty sure we'll go some day (we can apply for family based reunion ... but our oldest will only turn 6 this week, so maybe -early- retirement?!), but hope to be back in 3-4 years or so. Enjoying Asia now. Good luck everybody.
One of your kids need to be 18 or 21 to be able to sponsor you to stay in the US so that will take more years....it is called anchor babies and you can google it and search for the requirements to get a visa or green card based on that.

Hi everyone, i'm jose, from spain. waiting anxiously for the letter in my mailbox everyday. good luck to everybody. are there any spaniards like me? thanks.
I actually got something in the post last week and have been lazy to go and get it. How big and thick is the envelope? They said it can't fit into my letter box. I was planning to go and get it at the weekend but I just remembered that it might be the DV letter - fingers crossed - I will go and get it tomorrow morning.

Greetings Kevin01 and congrats on round 1
Yes, mine has a stamp from Malmo Sweden too. Not sure why but if we both have it, should be ok I guess
What shall I choose in the education section of DS122&230. I have a Master's Degree -- a) University Degree or b) Advanced degree.
Can I change the address I provide on forms DS122 & 230 about where I am going to live permanently and shipment of the GC upon interview? Cause I am not sure yet, cause it may change in the future.
Thanks.

Choose university degree. You can change the address at any time you like.
Just in regards to 'You can change the address at any time'. How do you do this? Thanks
Two Romanians who received the NL on this forum, as far as I know: sica1983 and myself.
See the DV 2011 AOS only thread.
Good luck to you if you are still waiting.
You can change your address online after you submit the i485 package and you have a pending case.
For instructions, see this link: https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa
Hi guys, I got my NL too. My case number is 17XXX, I'm from Italy. Except for the paper forms we have to fill in and send to the US, is there any on-line application we have to submit?
Is there anything to pay at this stage?
Does anyone know how many Green Cards are available in total for Europe for the DV 2011 ?
