USA! this might be an answer to last time debate over Free will Vs Determinism. If we consider that labrea's destiny is to live in the US then no surprise he wins the lottery twice in a row. Whilst other can try forever (I hope not our case
) I think people should also follow their instincts and act according to how they currently feel about certain issue. So if they feel like keep trying even after dozen attempts then it's probably the right thing to do and they should soon see in reality the confirmation that that was the right thing to do.Boer,
What do you do for a living? Have you ever been to OZ?!
I really like New Mexico... and the Tequila, heheh
I have a friend who is still there - she is a US citizen tho... says she would adopt me if it were possible - so I could stay!
Somehow I think 30 is a little too old! Fingers and toes still crossed for the winning letter!
It was not hard to find a job at the beginning, I had a friend he was leaving from USA and I started to work instead of him after I worked about a year that company went out of business so I lost my job but after day I found another one, worked about 7 months than that company also went out of business which was last month.. and than I decided to open my personal company.. Since last month I m doing my personal business, its going good, better than work for someone..
Hi all, I'm a DV 2010 winner from Nigeria,
This forum is very interesting & I like everybody's high expectation. I so much wish you all the best & pray you all shall be selected when the big white envelop start rolling from next week.
Funny enough, I never expected the letter when I received it simply because I can't remember the number of times I played it (I started since 1990s before on-line application was introduced. I think I only skipped it 3 times) so because it's lottery I always put my mind off it the moment I send the application. I kept trying because quitters never win.
Then again, I applied on the very last date - 1st December, 2008 for DV 2010, in fact just few hours to timeout and as usual put my mind off it. Then in April, 2009, I returned from office stone tired & my mum gave me an envelop, I didn't know where it came from just like my mum so I flung it aside cos I was too tired to open the envelop. After about 30 minutes or so, I took the envelop and I couldn't believe what I was reading, thought I wasn't alright, I talked to myself to relax, wiped my face over again to see clearly, I read it 3 times to assimilate the 1st page, eventually when I got it right I didn't know where the energy came from, I rushed out of my room & hugged my mum sooooo tight, I wanted to lift her up but I couldn't because her weight is over 100kg
All the best guys.
One Love.

My friend who I was planning on filling out the affidavit of support has just sold her house - and her finances aren't look to great right now.... she is a US citizen....do you think it will still be ok for her to sign?Hi Friends... another question flashing before my mind while anticipating the BWE (Big White Envelope)
At the interview - are you asked how much money you have?
Depends on the employee who conduct the interview. My friend was asked for financials...if you are asked and don't have them that could mean administrative processing until you provide them or being denied.
, also - does the mail come registered (you have to sign for it) or does it just come regular post?
regular mail. that is why later on the website is launched with all the winning info when you enter you conf.#, in case you didn't receive anything
Police clearance - how do I go about that?
You go to the authorities of places you have lived after you were 16 years old and lived for over 6 months and you can get a police report, stating you have no criminal background, or if you had what you did wrong...
and one final question (for now
NO! If the authorities check on it, she can be charged with either a misdemenor or felony for lying to authorities and IMO you don't want to ask any one to lie for you. Also if this comes out, you will be denied access for a long time.
Try to get some one else to fill it out, or get a job offer, and start saving some money? Did you already win, if not it doesn't mean you will win this year and you have time to start saving. Some win the first time, others haven't won after 10 years....
Thanks you guys!
...hope you win soon
