Shabby and Cathyliss lets hope we will have the dv thing next year. All the best to those who were selectedI came accross this info..thought it was necessary to share For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached... does this mean that if the number reaches 100,000 or 50,000??
Makiki, this KCC is making me fear, in my daughter's Birth there is no father's name but I mentioned that on her DS 230 form,. I hope the will write on my 2NL NFN. Mama futher discuss of why can only be done email with u.
Hi Donmisty,
I think to be safe be honest and explain the situation to them, and the fact that she's not planning to join you now but later we pray all will be well.
Assuming you got a greencard and married someone after 1 year, your wife would still go through the process. They already know you're married and God will go before you.
Be Blessed
Could disqualify, doesn't mean will disqualify, but as we've seen from Ash's case, incomplete info will lead to disqualification. And I think the requirement is to list all dependants, even if they are not travelling with you. Please double and triple check before your interview date to avoid disappointment.
The annual limit is 50,000 by September 30th.
Sorry about that. But dont give up. Try again.

Hi,
HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS WILL BE SELECTED?
There are 50,000 DV visas available for DV-2013. Because it is likely that some of the first 50,000 persons
who are selected will not qualify for visas or pursue their cases to visa issuance, more than 50,000 entries will
be selected by CA/CST to ensure that all of the available DV visas are issued. However, this also means that
there will not be a sufficient number of visas for all those who are initially selected. All applicants who are
selected will be informed promptly of their place on the list through the E-DV website’s Entrant Status Check.
Interviews for the DV-2013 program will begin in October 2012. Selectees who provide information requested
in the notification instructions will be informed of their visa interview appointment through the E-DV website’s
Entrant Status Check four to six weeks before the scheduled interviews with U.S. consular officers at
overseas posts. Each month, visas will be issued to those applicants who are ready for issuance during that
month, visa-number availability permitting. Once all of the 50,000 DV visas have been issued, the program
will end. In principle, visa numbers could be finished before September 2013. Selected applicants who wish
to receive visas must be prepared to act promptly on their cases. Random selection as a selectee does
not guarantee that you will receive a visa. Selection merely means that you are eligible to apply for a
Diversity Visa, and if qualified, issued a Diversity Visa. Only the first 50,000 selected applicants to
qualify will be issued visas.
I think the problem with my case was that i didnt send the birth certificate to Kcc because I thought I would present it to the CO.As for the case creation I am at a loss of words. He specifically said 25th Jan 2012 after the baby was born. But the question is, how could we inform them immediately yet we didnt know we had won? Results came out in may 2012.
I sent back the 230 form minus the birth cert. I only sent an email explaining the addition. So my advice to any one adding a kid or spouse is that just send all the documents to KCC. Just present original to CO but when a copy is already on the file.
Congs my dear, you have luck and that will follow you to the CO.
Papasan, for DV 2013 its actually 115,000 applicants selected including those added in October 2012.

Again Ash, sorry about your disappointing news. Thanks for coming back to update the forum regarding your situation. I'm more than convinced the reason you ran into trouble is due to the fact that you did not send in the child's birth certificate with his DSP-230 form. The certificate is the only way of proving to KCC that the child is truly yours.
These guys are sticklers to rules. The CO at the embassy cannot at his discretion proceed with an application that has already been 'red-flagged' by KCC before getting to the embassy. People here have talked about other people showing up at the embassy with new-born babies at the time of interview and ending up getting the visa. That's a totally different scenario, the CO (and KCC) do understand such situations, the CO is allowed to use his/her discretion in such situations in view of the fact that the born was born after the interview letter was issued and there isn't enough time to send updated documents to KCC by the applicant before the interview. It's different when the applicant has months to do this before the interview.
Next selection will be in october after recieving the submited forms. The number to be added will depend on how many initial selectees would have responded by october. Stay hopeful.
I didnt have any laminated documents so i dont know a thing about it. When you send email to the Embassy please include your case number date of birth and full names of the applicant then ask your question ImmigrationVisaNairobi@state.gov
By the way this time they selected 125000 people
They picked lessons from DV2012/13, a sizeable number of initial applicants do not submit their forms for various reasons yet their target must be achieved hence the high number.
thanks Makiki
