SOOOO SWEET JOEQUI!!
Thanks SOO MUCH FOR THOSE WORDS & UR PRAYER !!!
HOW WAS IT TO GET THE 1st NL and the process after it.... did U excepted it???
Good Luck for all the good things that will happenned to u in the futur!!!!!
Thanks so much Diafa,
I got the 1st NL May last year through my country postal service. The documents/forms were so much - Depends on how many you are in your family. For me, we are family of five. It took me 3 solid days to fill the form to avoid un-neccessery mistakes and also b/cos there are alot of personnal information they wanted from us. And of course you need to accept and signed. My wife did the filling and signing for the children.
I sent back the form to KCC through DHL and called after one month to confirm recipt which they acknowledge.
I trust this will help.
Thankkkkksssss Joequi to share u r story !!! that's definitely helps to know the way u handled it !!
Im single and no kids sooo not thaat much of papers to fill and U might laugh LOL but i already filled the forms LOL, I know It sounds CRAZY....
CONGRATULATION TO U & ALL UR FAMILY!!!

Diafa,
honestly it sounds really CRAZY, how come that you have filled the form. You filled for people ?or what.
I'm sure people will start to receive NLs in a matter of few days or at farthest in 3 weeks as Diafa mentioned, but this doesn't mean that we'll immediately have someone reporting his winning here unless it happens that one of us posting in this thread or those just lurking wins. I'm saying this because, if I remember good, I was here at the beginning or middle of June last year and there were no reports on winnings even though numerous people had already received their NLs. So it's true that for some reason only small number of those who actually win also decide to share the news in this or some other forum.

I agree and if I recall correctly, usually the first posts are from people in the US receiving NLs for friends/family in other countries. That's what really gets the ball rolling aka postbox/postman stalking..lol...
U r welcome sonibago!!!
That's my 4th attempt this year... As I was student I never really was sooo excited about getting the GC coz it was a problm if I got it and had to finish my education in France where its actually free to go to University and the government gives u money to go each month(as u know in US it s TOOO EXPENSIVE, at least 25000$ for a semester)...And I was playing with a company called FRANCESERVICE but this year only i ve discover that the picture that they used was totally not OK, I was not facing the camera, and had a huge bang where u cant see neither of my forhead and my ears too sooo 3 attempts and paying 50$ where I realized this year only that it was just some B**S*** from this company that was called a serious ONE....
I just played by myself this year, and hopefully it will be THE GOOD ONE... FOR EVERYONE TOO!!!
But USA is in my Heart since Im 11 years old....immigration is Horrible...People should just travel , work and live where they want ....They all like to say that we r FREE but I do not call that FREEDOM.....When Im stuck somewhere where I absolutely hate everything!!!

USA,
put yourself together, it will be fine. I know how you fell. Just like it happened to me, i played 2008. i waited till April and May 2009 to no avail, i said well i shall try again. I was right in my office when they called from the mail room that i have a parcel. I told the person to bring it right to my office. I saw a white big envelope with KCC written on the side and was address to me, at this time my hands started shaking. I took the parcel to the conference room, opened the envelope and found out that i had won the lottery after 11th attempts, while in the conference room despite the airconditional i was still sweating. I made a statement - USA where we come. Honestly it was a wonderful experience.
Goodluck to everybody

LOl I try to not think about it but its tough!! this moment of the year makes me soo impatiente!!!! but time goes fast....I think we still have to wait at least 1 or 2 weeks before we will hear someone having received the letter !! And I hope it s not more than that ....coz on the USA AMBASSY WEBSITE here is what they say :
http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/DV-2011instructions.pdf
"16. WILL ENTRANTS WHO ARE NOT SELECTED BE INFORMED? All entrants, including those NOT selected, may check the status of their entry through the E-DV website and find out if their entry was or was not selected. Entrants should keep their own confirmation page information from the time of their entry until they may check the status of their entry online. Status information for DV-2011 will be available online from July 1, 2010, until June 30, 2011. (Status information for the previous DV lottery, DV-2010, is available online from July 1, 2009, until June 30, 2010.)

Thank you for your comment joequi, it's easy to see from your posts that you're a mature and down-to-earth person. It's almost hard to imagine how it feels trying 11 times! I hope you'll at least be rewarded now when you're plannnig on relocating to U.S. because that is the harder part of the whole process and you deserved to go through the following steps without much setbacks.
Diafa, I've also found this sentence in the papers that were sent to some winner of DV2009: "April 2008–June 2008; Selectee notification letters are sent providing information on the next stages of the program." So you're right—when we reach April that's officially the start of the prime time to receive a letter, but there have been those who received it even in March so we can call them the really lucky ones—these get one or two digits numbers.
