• Hello Members, This forums is for DV lottery visas only. For other immigration related questions, please go to our forums home page, find the related forum and post it there.

Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

what do they rily want? all with same things in common: money deals,loan offers,money transfers to my personal a/c my personal info,i won this,that oh my i was in shock when i logged into my email the one below my signature which i dont use often only to find loads and loads of messages with this fishy deals.why do they need my personal info that much? do they want to interfere with my dv process? any ideas?
those things have been happening since forever. its impossible to keep your email add a secret. the thing is to ignore them coz the moment you give out your personal info ur done. esp your acc number. it happened to someone i know. they cant interfere with your DV process in any way if you ignore them.
Precisely why you should guard your personal information closely. Get use to not sharing information unnecesarily, you don't want to learn the hard way when you become the victim of identity theft. Displaying your email address (wheather it's frequently used by you or not) in a public forum is un-wise

true that man. if you have to share it make sure you dont have any personal info stored there.
 
In our churches its the same Marriage Certificate issued only that this one is signed by the Pastor and not a government official. But some churches have theirs as well so if yours isnt from the Government just do it and have both certificates during your interview.

Thanks makiki

Here is point to
point answers:
1. both of us are
working in United
Nations, can we
continue work here
in our native
country by
maintaining Green
card. Are we
allowed to work at
our native country
in the organization
like UN. If so, I
came to know that
we need to file a
tax return after
spending extended
time out of US, do
we have to pay tax
for any foreign
country income? if
yes, what will be
case for being UN
staff where tax is
exempted.
Answer: No you
can't work in your
home country, you
need to live and
work in the US. In
fact if you were
working for a US
company that would
have worked, with
this some tax
exemption is there
as well.
2. We are planning
to remain in the
USA only for one
month since we will
only be granted for
1 month leave at
the office. Would
this time-frame be
sufficient enough
in order to get
green card and
Social security card
on hand?
Answer: Your
immigration visa
works as a
temporary I-551
(Green Card) for
about one year, so
you can travel
overseas from the
US until your card
is issued. Usually it
takes about 4 week
to get to your
address in the US.
As far as the Social
Security is
concerned you need
to visit their local
office in right
after you arrive in
US, you apply and
you need like 2 -3
weeks to get it.
However once you
apply for Social
Security you are
there, they will
send it to your
address in US.
I guess one month is
sufficient however
try to have one
week more for just
in case.
3. Can i get my SSN
and Green Card in
my native country
sent through
courier service once
it is received by my
uncle who lives in
the stated address
of US. Then I will
plan when to visit
USA next.
Answer: yes it can
be posted to your
uncle address if
that will be the
address written in
your Immigration
Papers (Ds-230). I
wouldn't
recommend that
these sensitive
documents be
posted by courier,
it is up to you, if
planned let him
copy both the SSN
card and the Green
Card.
4. As I plan to stay
in USA only for
about a month, will
there be any
consequence at
immigration if i
buy round-trip
ticket in advance?
will this make any
difference?
Answer: No problem
at all, you are fine,
just make the first
landing and you can
travel the next day
no matter what kind
of ticket you are
holding.
5. Could you please
suggest, how will it
be possible to get
visitors visa or
tourist visa for my
parents before i
leave to US?
because they will be
left alone here
which i don't want
to be.
Answer: please visit
the US Embassy in
your country or
visit their website
to see the
requirements. it is
possible that you
apply for your
parents non-
immigrant visa.
Note: If you plan to
work in your
country and
maintaining your
Green Card, there
is a possibility to do
that for TWO
YEARS absence
(trip outside the
US) only and for
ONE TIME only as
well. In this case
you need to apply
for that while in
the US.
Good Luck

I dont think so unless they pass and agree about it before october 2013 otherwise be prepared to fill the 2015DV Lottery
 
Status is refused.

so, case could be created with wrong date in kcc, but tha was not the case. consular officer at the post read the case incorrectly - this is what happened. send an email to the consulate with printout of the casecreation date and explain them the baby was born after the date, not before.
 
@misses i read the selectes instructions where they stated that "please do not send any civil documents to the kcc'' so i dont think you should send the MC to the kcc but got to present it during the interview

But u can send copies:):)
 
Hi Everyone :) I have a question: is it possible to still make correction with the infor you gave on dsp 122/ ds 230 form or its too late to correct? aint current yet . Thanks

Welcome to the world wide web..

why do they need my personal info that much?
Nothing personal..it's business(we do have software/people that "fish" the net email addresses so that they can send u that junk:mad:)

do they want to interfere with my dv process?
I hope u r not using this email address "officially"(KCC/US embassy:( ).

As long as kmahyuni isn't ur real name & u did not fill in ur personal details in yahoo...then u should be ok.Go gmail..yahoo(smh).

@Karendi;not to burst ur bubble,they actually do send notification mails but u do have to be internet savvy to know that the above mail is full of sh**.
1:Was the mail from KCCDv @state.gov?Ur guess is as good as mine!!!
2:Their email address is visa.department@dvlottery.consulate.us.tc which when googled,u will be warned that its a scam.The .tc domain name registered for Turks & Caicos Islands according to wikipedia,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tc. [/URL] .Perhaps Turkey have began a DV of their own LOL:p
3:Their phone number though is American_the +1 prefix or routed thru there(who knows?)

All in all,I'll give an E for effort:cool:

I did get one of these mails last year Nov telling me to send cash to Western Union in the UK.Honestly,how can I be notified that u r a winner in Nov yet the results r released in May??

Processing fees

Type of Residence Card Status Amount (per person)
United States Permanent Resident Card Granted! - Waiting for payment of processing fee $879
Processing fees Included
Total $879
Although the Diversity Visa participation was free, the law and regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a visa processing fee of $879. The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon receiving the payment.
The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is $879, payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $879 fee is the only fee a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.
Accompanying family members(wife/husband, fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the program and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so you can travel/move together in the same time. However the fees must be paid per person and each member(e.g wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $879. There is no discount for childrens.
Please note that you are allowed to take with you as many family members you want. However for each person you must pay an additional amount of U.S $879
For example if you decide to move in the United States with your wife and a kid the total fee is US$879(your fee) + US$879(your wife) + US$879(your kid) = US$2637.

PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the fee payment primarily to process your visa related documents and verify your identity.
Visa Payment processing instructions
The fees must be paid using Western Union money transfer and will be processed by the U.S. embassy in the United Kingdom.
Western Union is a leading provider of International person-to-person money transfer. With more than 150 years experience and 245,000 Agent locations in over 200 countries and territories, Western Union is recognized for sending money quickly, reliably, and safety.

Name : Kevin Wine
Address: 73 Queens Avenue
