This is a very very special month for me
We are sorry about you Kuhananth, this is like a hit wicket in Cricket, lost in a unexpected moment.
I saw some where that appeals are valid for DV visa categories BUT fiscal year (30th Sep) is the restriction

Wished you saw my BEWARE ! thread that I bumped several times this FY about this 21 Yr old 'law'.
As I said in there the underlined part in your message is not as simple as it sound.
Did you see it and do the calculation? If not do it now and see for yourself.
Did the 2nd NL to your Dad contain your name? (2nd NL from KCC has a page with derivatives names clearly mentioned)
If 2nd NL did not have your name, then for sure you are aged out.
If it did mention your name, then it is possible CO may have done a mistake!
So....read my post, do the calculation closely and see for yourself.

I understand however KCC replied to my father on 04th October 2010.
" Your forms are acceptable for continuation of visa processing. It' means Our visa ok . If we will current.
and KCC did not infrom about my visa problem until they sent 2nd NL
This is KCC's fault. If they informed . Not a problem.
KCC's last reply
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you have a child who has turned 21 since the time of your original
entry, you must discuss this matter with the consular officer at the
time of your interview to determine his or her eligibility.
So please suggest ....

Well....too many ppl in this DV process thinks that KCC is the 'king' !!, but they are just 'clerks' doing admin stuff whereas COs/IOs are the mngrs who INTERPRET US IMM. LAW and issue visas ONLY AFTER CHARGING ppl a fortune as FEES!!
That's the simple truth.
Last yr, when the SL family lost visa to child by a mere 10 days difference per that calculation, the CO has advised that their hands are tied 'cos they are bound by US law and DoS/USCIS admin memos.
Best!
Thanks Nuvf.
It's means .Why did KCC accepted my visa forms for continuation of visa processing?.. If they was accepted means Also my age was accepted. Now not... So this is KCC's fault. Am i correct?.. Can my father appeal against KCC?

I assume that you have done the calculation by yourself carefully and may have found that the CO is correct in following the rule.
Like I said before, IMO, your 'assumptions' regarding the role of KCC is far removed from the reality.
You may know that now your chances of getting a non-imm visa to US is bit on the hard side.
But, if you secure an I-20 for an F1, they 'may' be considerate to issue you one, it is just a guess, but worth a try.
Go prepared with some property+banks a/c s in your own name to show the 'strong connections to home' clause in that visa.
F2B based GC will take time, and you will have to remain single if you take that route.
Read elsewhere for those info and make an 'informed' decision.
Best!

Dear Friends, My Visa Interview is SUCCESSFUL
I take this moment to thank all you guys who helped me to achieve this great moment.
So interview experience is as Lasantha mentioned earlier. Even if I took pile of certificates they returned them all with photocopies. only sponsor letter, police reports, medicals and B/C M/C were among accepted. Further no quection was asked by CO other than asking to sign the papers. It was so simple. Finally got a letter that 'likely to issue visa and collect passports next week'

One of our friend (Ruchira) is going to interview next month. He's got pass for maths at the second attempt.
His quection is whether he can submit his first OL certificate (Maths - F with other subjects) and second certificate (Only Maths - S) for the interview.
What do you think guys, will he be in trouble.

From last June (2010) until today I came almost everyday to this forum.
Even if I joined first, Kuhananth came late and opened this thread for Sri lankans and went a long way.
Then Lasantha came as a one of few who is really helpful to everybody.
Ofcourse I can not forget the expert comments of Nuvf whose advices were so informative.
Thanks again for you all.

Hi! Nalin
Thanks! for your wonderful comments. Its true this forum has been so helpful for all of us. It helped some of them with their queries and doubts and most important fact is we became friends through this forum.
See, though sri lanka had 515 winners in 2011 dv lottery, we found only few members registered. Hence, we are not sure about others, what was their situations with their dv lottery process.
truely, this forum will go long way to help future winners of us dv lottery program.

Congratulations Nalin, and good luck for the future!!
btw, mine were not any 'expert' stuff!! Just re-cycling the info out there so ppl can make some 'sense' out of it!
For your O/L Q.........
I bet the reqmt is 'one and the same sitting'. But ask him to dbl chk with the emb.
He got no A/L qualif.? if he does, I think he will be safe with combined OL and AL, but better dbl chk.
He may take a chance and go thru the job route if qualified, but he need to prepare 'thoroughly' b4 the intvw to do so. In-fact he may go prepared for both options.
Best!
dv-2011 winners from Srilanka
Math is most important to DV winners and Any sitting that's not a problem. But must pass the math . 2nd or 3rd...
Ex 01: 2000 year 6 subjects passed without MATH ( DISQUALIFIED) 1st attempt
2001 year 4 subjects passed with MATH (NOW QUALIFIED) 2nd attempt
Ex 02: 2000 year 5 subjects passed with MATH (DISQUALIFIED) 1st attempt
2001 year 2 subjects passed without MATH (passed ..... 1st attempt fail subjects) (NOW QUALIFIED) 2nd attempt

Pal, from whom or where did you get this 'clarification'?
