Yes lasantha finally I got Visa.I had an interview in Oman.They were asking the sponsor documents such as I -134,1040,sponsor current job letter,his green card copy or his US passport copy etc..But finally I found sponsor & submited all the required documents.But I am advising by my expieriance all to do the interview in SL embassy other than any other place.Because embassy wise their requirement will be changed.As a Interview expieriance, they kept me their more than one hour.I hope srilankan embassy maximum 5 minutes.They checked my documents every ins & out.Mean while they have asked some small question related to my documents.Where u born,where u r working.where u studies etc.Just they want to cross check.Fortunately I didnt do any mistake in the documents & the answers.Otherwise it will be problem for me.If you have correct documents what they need no need to worry.U will get Visa very easily.Because once u got interview letter & once you have proof of documents, definetly u will get visa...this is my interview expieriance..
So I plan to travel USA texas area coming May..Because of the cost of living & the climate mainly I have sellected that area.I just want to know one thing from you all.I just want to rent an apartment & I have money.But without job & guarantee will they provide apartment.If anybody knows pls reply me..

Hi! Dulanga.
Happy to hear from you good news. You are absolutely right, its always better to face the interview at us embassy-sri lanka. They know about our documents and other requirements,so they will treat us fairly.
If we are facing the interview in other countries we would end up with difficulties.
I am living at present in Dubai-UAE, but i will be facing my interview in sri lanka.

Regarding your question about apartments, as far as i know with my knowledge you do not need to prove the tennant job guarantee. Just they need an addittional deposit as a guarantee according to the monthly rent.
Once you have a place to stay,you can move around and find a job.

Good luck in USA
God bless you.

Weren't they supposed to have the cut-off dates for May/June out by mid-March? The visa bulletin page used to say 'coming soon' for May, but it seems they have removed that.

Kuhananth, I'm hoping we'll be current in June, if not July.

its very simple easy but waited long time.we go to the embassy at 7 am. There was a long line. We enter at 7.45. We submit our letter to gate six then half an hour we submit all our docs. we give them a lots of docs. But they return many docs to us. Then we wait a long and then we fingerprint. After that we waiy two long hours. We r bit tensed about long waiting cause every dv applicant complete interview and some get ap an some visa. Then we called at 12 pm and we enter at gate nine. Co asks to swear an sign then ask marriage date. My husband told co (male) that our marriage is affair marriage. Co laugh to hear that and ask for what date we meet eachother. I told him and co replied that oh very long time relationship. Then he wants to see our photo. We gave him our university life photos and later some marriage photo. The co is very much pleased to see our old photo and he is laoughing to see that. Then he give us a token. We dont understand what it was. He said with smile that he approve our visa and come tomorrow to pick up our visa. We became astonished to hear that. At last our all waiting come true .
