so, i had to take around until that time and i reached the embassy at 12:50hrs.
12:50hrs arrived at the embassy entrance and had wait until security allows me inside.
13:15hrs security called me inside and had to go through the security check-ups. had to leave my mobile at the security office. went through scanning machine.
13:25hrs I reached the consular office and handed over appointment letter to counter-01, officer told me to take a seat.
13:30hrs Officer at the counter-01 called me asked to hand over the documents.(i handed over all the relevant documents)
and she asked me to take a seat.
13:40hrs Officer at the counter-03(Cashier) called to the counter and he told me to pay the visa fee. After paying the fee, he asked me to take a seat and said another counter will call you for finger prints.
14:00hrs Officer at counter-02 called me for finger prints. After finger prints she gave a token number and said, consular officer will call you. So, i took a seat until my turn.

Fellow Countrymen...
I have a few doubts regarding filling the form and hope that the people in the fourm who have already obtained their visa can help out.
1. In the DS 230 form they have asked for permanent address in the US and the address to send the green card? Do I leave this as N/A, to be determined or do I fill it with a relatives address in the US.
2. Q39 - Name and address of petitioner? Who do they mean when they say petitioner. I assume its the applicant or do we have to give details of a sponsor.
3. Regd the sponsor - what kind of letter does the sponsor has to give? like an affidavit or just a general letter?

hoping to hear soon.
Thanks in advance.

Hi my sister also won DV 2012 and her forms have been sent to the KCC already :) .
1)from what i learned it's always good to use an address of someone in the US coz they use that address to send the green card ( and i heard a case of forms being returned for leaving it empty ) so get one of your friend living there in states to provide you with his address just for the name sake . you could always change it at the POE

2) name and address of petitioner should be the winner of DV 2012 . if you are the principal applicant then you should arite your own name address there n the space given
3) i contacted the consulate here in colombo and they said a letter mentioning that DV winner will be assited financially till he/she settle down there in states is enough for the time being ( it should include the sponcers full name ,address and contact details )

anyway I fear that they maight make it compulsary for everyone to submit form I-134 like in african countries so u better arrange someone in advance who's willing to do it for you just incase but for the time being just a simple letter is acceptable ..
good luck with your application . plz mention your case number n ur next post :)

ours is AS12***
 
and i also have a question here . is it possible to obtain the police clearence in advance without waiting for the 2nd NL to arrive ??? i have seen lasantha amal's updates and seems like he's done it months before his 2nd nl is received ..

please advice me about the procedure of obtating the PC through US consulate ...
thanks in advance

Hi Chamalka, welcome to this forum

Well, I wanted to get PC well before since it takes months to arrive. How ever it was not accepted by the Embassy and ask me wait to be 'Current'

Lasantha's case is different since he first tried to be interviewed in Dubai hence applied PC early.

BTW fill up your signature with CN

I'll mention below my inquiry to KCC and reply below and hope it will serve your first question.

Q. I have kept blank the question of "Permanent address in the United States where you intend to live".

please let me know when i am supposed to provide with this address to you sir ?

A.If you are currently unable to provide a response for question(s) 10 and/or 11 of the DS 230 Part I, you should state “N/A” (not applicable) for each question. This information can be updated at any time prior to the interview by notifying KCC or physically presented at the Embassy on the day of interview.
