Hello guys,

I've been checking you for a couple of years now, especially right before the receipt of NL's, to see when people start receiving them. This year, i decided to register and write here.

I'm Turkish, applying the lottery since 2003. Same story every year. From April to September, checking the mailbox every single day. Last year I checked it on the website and saw that I wasn't selected. Hopefully this year.

I am also following a Turkish forum too. Since 2003, many people won the lottery there, mostly people who applied and forgot about it. Or people who has some type of relation to the U.S., either studying, tourist visa holder, working etc.


I lived in Turkey until 2007 and applied from Turkey until then. In Sep 2007, I came to the US on a student visa and applied showing a US residency (Country where you reside now: US). Did not win. Same for the 2008.

In 2009, I was approved for an H1-B working visa, got a job, moved into a new apartment etc. basically everything in my life is new. Hopefully this year I'll win.

I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I'll be reporting from NJ, USA.

I hope all the winners will be the people who desperately needs the GC and will make full use of it, rather than people who applied and forgot about it next minute.

Good luck,

I hope at the the end of this Lottery we still talk to each other winning or not, coz as u said friendship, family, love & respect r the most important thing!

Sure Diafa—I'd love to stay in contact with you, especially as you'll be filing my DV Lottery application every year as you promised because I said I'll quit if I'm not successful this year :). Of course I'm just kidding, that's not the reason, true friends like you are hard to find. What I really hope is that our (all of us here) luck changes this year when it comes to DV Lottery, so we can have a drink somewhere in the U.S. to celebrate and chat about our future plans.

So If I don't win the lottery this year, I was thinking maybe I could study there?! I even called my postal service today and said to ensure ALL my mail is delivered, as I was expecting so *very important* documents. If for argument sake, you've been chosen at random and your letter from KCC is not delivered, it get's lost in the mail.... and you check on July 1st on the website and it says 'congratulations' - do you still have a chance at the GC.... or is it too late?

I pray we all get chosen this year.
 
Beech send an email to kentokey the will now send the form by email u fill the form in the internet and u will now sent it back.

How about no NLs this year :D And you can only check it on July 1st and KCC will email you the forms :) Let's see how many heart attacks we will have :) JK
 
This is my story..

My dad won a DV lottery back in 2004. We were all excited as this was an opportunity to start a new life and career in USA. My uncle called our Dad and said you've got some kind of mail from America and its say KCC on the envelope. My dad went to pick up the mail and surprisingly it was from KCC and we've won the DV Lottery. As my sister and I were under 21 at that time we were also included in the winning. It was a great moment for my family and specially me. I had just finished my high school and was ready to go to College. My sister was still in 10th grade.

We opened the packet and there was a congratulation letter and several other forms. It took us 2 weeks to fill the forms and to make sure everything we put on it was accurate. We mailed in the form and just waited for the 2nd NL..Months passed we didn't hear anything from KCC...3 months-4 months went by still nothing...

I began to worry a little and started doing some research online if anybody else are in the same situation as we were in...I googled day and night...and later find out the 2nd NL goes by the case number and each region has its own case number and quota...our case number was AS23XXX which I thought was higher for our region...

We started checking visa bulletin and our case was never current..It was so disappointing and
frustrating to know that we've won the lottery but never got a chance to seize the winning...

Every year after 2004 people I know who had higher case number from than ours from our region have received their 2nd NL and are in USA right now...

I was so determined to go to USA...I aced my SAT and TOEFL and got scholarship in a Private University in USA...I came to America the same year and it’s been almost 6 years I have lived in USA...I like it over here...

The only thing that bothers me is that my family is not here with me..Have they gotten the 2nd letter?
They would be here with me and we will all be happy...

I don't care if I win this time or not.. I am young and I am already here..I can manage myself but I
want my family to win the lottery this time..My dad fills out application every year it’s already been 10
years since he started filling out the DV...

I hope he wins it this time...

There are just so many hurdles to clear with this lottery..actually winning and getting the NL is just the first set of barriers to overcome. It takes remarkable luck to get through to the end and get that GC. Axldai I hope lady luck shines on your dad again.
