You should wear as you do in a daily basis, this is not applied if you wear an uniform because of your job (nurse, doctor, army, etc).
 
It's not necesary to have a relative or friend living in USA. It's recommended that you can give an address there, but if you can't it's Ok, just write down "NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME" or something like that.

2. Question 17 on DS-230 Part I ( Spouse’s occupation)

3. Question 18 on DS-230 Part I ( Date of Marriage)

Q1. It's not necessary to give an address in USA. Once you get there, you'll be asked about your address again in order to send the green card.
Q2. If she is currently studying, then you must write down "STUDENT"
Q3. Don't know at this time, I'll ask and give you an answer later.
Q4,Q5. Both of you must submit a form ds230, if you have children, you must fill out a ds230 form for each kid that will travel with you. So Q19 and Q24 refer to parents of each applicant.
Q6. You must answer with primary, secondary and high school information too. Ej: Course: Primary School - Degree: Primary school diploma // Couse: Secondary school - Degree: Secondary School Diploma// Course: High School - Degree: High School Diploma.
Q7. There's no part II in dsp122. For question 3 you can give any address you want to receive mails, you could give your office address, your home address or even an address in the USA if you have a person that you trust, so he can forward your mail.

Hope It's helpfull
 
i need some more info on this matter!
on the september bulettine it has information for september visas and at last it also indicats the ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF THE DIVERSITY (DV) IMMIGRANT CATEGORY RANK CUT-OFFS WHICH WILL APPLY IN OCTOBER. SO DOES IT MEAN THAT THEIR WILL BE NO BULETTINE IN SEPTEMBER? IF THERE IS BULETTINE IN SEPTEMBER, IS THAT TO summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during OCTOBER?
THE OTHERTHING DO YOU THINK THAT APPLICATIONS ARRIVED IN MID OF AUGUST WILL BE APPOINTED ON OCTOBER?

tHANK YOU
 
Hi I'm hoping someone can help me understand this. My number is 2012OC000008xx. I see that in the current bulletin the numbers for Oceania go to 300. Does that mean we will only get an interview if 500+ people before us don't lodge their applications or are invalid?

Also, what is the next step. Do KCC email/write to advise an interview date? How much notice can we expect to get?

I notice that Australian Chargeability is 900. Can anyone tell me what that means?

Thanks in advance

If you mailed it by EMS you are absolutely fine. I have told people before; EMS is just as efficient as DHL, UPS and FEDEX. Better yet, the mailing cost is half of the other three.

My wife interview is scheduled on September 1st. And she is 38 weeks pregnant.
On August 31th at 1.00 PM she started feeling some unusual pain. We started praying, asking God not to allow her giving birth before our interview. We know that if the baby is born after the interview she ll be processed at the port of entry only by showing to the border agent her birth certificate, but if the baby is born after the interview, thing may get worse: we ll have to do the baby`s medicals (215 dollars) + visa fees (819 dollars) + establishing the official birth certificate which takes at least 4 weeks in Montreal (express procedure is not available in Quebec) + applying for her Canadian passport. The 2011 DV program ends up on sept 30 2011. We are running out of time, and then it won’t be possible to fulfill those requirements within 4 weeks. Consequently we ll loose our immigration visa for good (bad luck).
The pain reached its climax at 4 .00 PM and my wife cannot bear it anymore, her water broke and we end-up at the hospital around 5.00 PM where she gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl at 10.00 PM. Can you believe that!
Soon after the birth we inform the doctor that we have a serious issue with our DV interview that will be held in few hours the next day at 8.00 AM, we explain the entire event and how it was important for us to get that visa. The doctor tried to persuade us not to attend the interview because my wife is too tired and her vaginal wounds have to be healed first. Finally after a 20 min meeting the doctors considered the whole situation including its impact in our future so they decide to give to my wife a certificate of temporary absence form the hospital for the next day valid from 6.00 AM to 10 .00 AM but without the baby (has to stay in the hospital). We thanked God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran home picked-up the documents, my wife clothes and mine, and head back to the hospital around 1.00 AM. The night was really too short, lot of things going inside my head…………………………………..

We arrived at the consulate around 6:40AM. We were the first in line with a few others arriving after 7AM. The doors opened at 7:30AM promptly and we were the first to enter. After going through security, we waited downstairs and sat in the chairs next to the elevator. We were sent up in the elevator to the 19th floor around 8AM. As we were the first off the elevator, received C1 and was told to have a seat. We were called up to the first window within a few minutes of being seated

We were called at the first window 30 min later, the lady proceed and took our fingerprints and medical results (not the x-ray or vaccination documentation) and passport. The agent found that my wife wore the hospital bracelet and then ask:
The Agent: why are you wearing the hospital bracelet?
My wife: I am just coming from the hospital because I gave birth few hours ago. I ask for a temporary absence from hospital but the doctors at first were skeptical but they finally understood my worries and decided to let me attend the interview without the baby
The Agent: are you serious? she called the CO to hear my wife story………………………..the CO was impressed by my wife courage and determination to get the visa. Because my wife was in pain. The agent asked for all our documents and the CO decided to interview my wife immediately after the documents checking.
The interview
CO: I can`t believes you came here few hours after giving birth!
My wife: answer……….
CO: baby gender?
My wife: baby girl and I gave her name
CO:…………….still amazed by my wife courage……………………..
My wife:……………………still in pain…………………………….
CO: pleased my wife to have a seat
My wife: thanks
CO: asked my wife to raise her right hand and swear to tell the truth ------------------then took fingerprint-----------
My wife: did
CO: recheck my wife diplomas and school transcript. Were you on F1 status in the pass?
My wife:ans………….
CO: where do you live ?
My wife:ans……………
CO: what are you doing for living?
My wife:ans----------
CO:do you have relative in US?
My wife:ans---------------
CO: what are you going to do in US?
My wife:ans--------------------------
CO: started typing………………….afterward she asked me to raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth ………….
Me: did----------------
CO: confirmed my profession
Me: correct
CO: in which us state are you going to live?

Me:ans------------------------
CO: what are you going to do in US?
Me:ans-------------------------
CO: ok --------and started typing--------------then asked both of us to sign the DS230 form, she added that the newborn will be processed at the port of entry. She pulled out the letter "Welcome to the United States” and said we were approved and wished us good luck.

It was a fabulous day!
