Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!

Hi

Hi mates, great to see u all once again after some few weeks of truancy. Thank God my family n I have safely landed in Obamaland. We left Ghana on Thursday n got here on Friday. I must admit it was a smooth flight from Ghana to JFK though it was quite a distance. Everything was kul till we got to JFK and had to connect our next flight to Logan airport, Boston.we r now lodging in Worcester, MA till Mama Kiki moves to Texas then we will also move. Lol. From the little I've seen so far, I must say USA is a very beautiful country. They r now in spring n I just love the weather.

Mates, I have some few issues regarding the payment of the USCIS fees. I only have cash n don't know if they accept cash as well as the mode of payment. Will I also be paying same amount for my 6monhs year old baby? Need ur help on this please.
 
Filled the wrong year of birth during DV application

Hello everyone. I am still trying to find my way through the forum am sure this question has been asked, but am gonna ask anyway. I filled the wrong year of birth when i applied for the Lottery, is it possible to change and if so do i have to inform them first via email before i submit the forms (DS230 & DSP 122) to KCC..

About the payment When and How to Pay the Fee

Submit your payment after receiving your visa package from DOS and before you depart for the United States.

Pay your USCIS Immigrant Fee online. You will need to complete the electronic form and provide:

  • the Alien number of the applicant

  • the Case ID number of the applicant

  • your checking account information, or

  • your debit or credit card information.


All check payments must be drawn on a U.S. bank.

If you are unable to make this payment, another person can make this payment on your behalf.

If you are making this payment on behalf of another person, make sure you enter that person's Alien number and Case ID number.

Yes you can pay for the young one but you still have 1yr to do so for her :p

just fill the correct date of birth in the DSP122 and DS230 forms. Typo errors do happen so take it easy
 
I just received an email from KCC concerning my file update stating "the information provided will be included in your file for review".

In my usual daily research i came across rather interesting info;

1.The I-134 is not a legally binding affidavit, it is used for non-immigrant visa's. This form will need to be notarized.
2.The I-864 is a legally binding contract that the sponsor will be financially responsible for the immigrant in the event the immigrant attempts to benefit from certain federal aid programs. This form is for at the Adjustment of Status part of the journey. The newer version don't need to be notarized since they are already legally binding.
Click to expand...

You are absolutely right!

Forn I-134, unlike the I-864, is not legally binding according to the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 9, Section 9 FAM 40.41 N4.6-3 (pg 15). However, any one who applies for and receives benefits they're not entitled to is legally liable to the government, not their sponsor.

Thanks for catching that, dubai-b.

Thanks for the info Mama Kiki. But where do I find my alien number? Is it the number written in my passport by immigration officers at the JFK? Is the Case ID number same as my CN?

In your Visa right below the case number there is a registration number please see if it looks the same as the number you were given OR on that sealed envelope there was a summary sheet which had a number starting with A.

Your Visa has the following

IMMIGRANT VISA
IV Case Number
2013AF20XXX01
Registration Number
X5X35XXX
IV Category
DV1

That registration number is the same as the Alien number all you need is to put A before that number

Makiki, I just like the way you respond to issues. God will bless you.

Frank80, I read your case in the previous posts and I realized we got babies at around the same time. Please tell me, was your baby included in the 2NL? After how long did you send your baby's forms to KCC? How did they handle the baby issue at the embassy? I send his forms and birth cert a week before i received my 2NL so his name is not included. Am so anxious sleeping is a problem.

Triple L, sure Mama Kiki has been of great help to all of us here. I'm dying to meet her in person. I sent the filled DS 230 form together with my daughter's birth certificate in January and had my 2nl around the same month. Her name wasn't part of the beneficiaries so I called KCC to aske why. They told me they received her documents but that was after they had scheduled me for my interview. They asked me to go ahead with her medicals cos they will send her documents to the embassy. Since it was a fon conversation, I decided to send a mail to them so I could have written evidence. I got the same feedback. I printed it and took it along on the d-day. Fortunately for me, my interview was smooth n lasted less than 2mins ( if I'm not exaggerating). I wasnt asked a single question. The CO only took my finger prints n that of my wife, gave us a form to sign n that was it. I pray urs turns out smoother than mine. All the best.

I bounced on that while going through fine prints. Am a little perplexed that nobody going in or getting ready for interview has raised any queries regarding the I-134. In my time it was a requirement especially for guys with family. Thanks again for everything. What's your take on the post about grants,loans,etc in a lay mans language for those who intend to go back to school?
