Cooooooooongs and welcome to this club Ug 1. Your quiz was answered by someone. Sorry for my late reply though.
It seems i have the biggest CN in Ug. Well, i hope to benefit from you guys. What documents are you talking about Ug1? Lets keep the thread alive.
Thank you so much. Yea we are a full house. Call us UPE class! I admire you guys, just 4 people! Yes, am through with the adoption papers. Our interview might take an hour. Will definitely post that experience!
Obeezyb has 70,000. Yours is much better.
It seems many Ugandans do not know about this forum. What does that show? Probably the over 400 winners never use the internet to search DV info. May be they just do the status check and off they go.
Yes, having no internet is like living in a house without umeme, its like you're blind. I cant imagine all the information we have access to that those without internet miss. Yeah i saw Obeez' 70k man, its way up there but wen i see Ash's 29k am like wow. Anyways Ash deserves that number seeing that s/he has a team of 7.
Thanks. The Umeme thing is true. As for the CN, I actually needed one in 2,000s but hey, it's all good. I am a 'she' by the way.
Hi hi
, good good, I decided to play it safe coz i read on the Nigeria forum where someone hurried to say she's not a guy as had been referred to by another member. Well well, am also a she.Hi hi
Am so glad you are a 'she' as well. That makes the two of us. Come to think of it, is the DV more like a guy thing? May be 'head of the family' sort of stuff? Cause believe you me, my husband is way out of all this. I just update him about the latest info. He has no clue. I just print info for him to read for example possible interview questions for married couples. That kind of thing.
Well, mine is the one who was under pressure from his relatives in the US to apply, they kept reminding him each year and it would come and go. He kept sending me the site and i was never interested. This time he decides we should apply, he sends me the stuff and i don't even look at it, so he sends his application and mine too but listing me on his as wife plus our kids, and the same on mine. Then we carry on and come May 1st, its me they select. I freaked out. Got so overwhelmed by the thought of quitting my job and heading for the unknown. No i wouldn't do that. Anyways, it took a call from a friend in the UK to change my mind and once that happened, my whole time is devoted to this thing. I read and read and read and worry and worry and oh, how did i get here? Its crazy.
Hi Ug1, we are in the same boat in regard to the police certs. Didn't know the DV processing time was almost one year for my CN. That is money lost! I have a feeling we do not need to do fingure prints again since FPs do not change. We might be asked to pay for the letter again. Will find out when the time comes.
Wow! It's like we are reading from the same script. My brother and sister did the same to me. For the last 5 years, they would send me the website but I never applied. And guess what my problem was, just taking the pix and uploading it. I was lazy to do that not until I got an office that is sitting ontop of a photo studio. So this time around, I got the guts on the second last day of the DV application window, I applied for both me and my hubby. And come May 2012 bang! he is selected and I am not. I start the process and along the way I land on this forum and I am hooked! Every morning I look forward to reading people's posts.

question 4 dsp 122
hey brothers...how are you???i hope that you are OK.
i have a question plz
i wrote in the 4th question on the form 122 the name of my country and not the name of the embassy...
is there any problem??!!!
this is question 4 :
4. Name of United States Consular Office where you would like to Process your Application
This will usually be the consular office nearest the place you live. However, please note that some U.S. Embassies and Consulates do not process immigrant visas. If you are not sure whether the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest you processes immigrant visas, or if you do not know which is the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest you, please list the city and country where you live. If you live in the United States and plan to adjust status with the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the U.S., please list "BCIS"; if you live in the United States but you intend to return abroad to be interviewed, please list the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that processes immigrant visas for the area where you lived before you came to the United States.
----------------------------------------------------
but they said :if you do not know which is the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest you, please list the city and country where you live.

I dont think this is a problem, i personally dont remember what i filled. But as if there was a drop down menu with countries such that u would select the name of the country. I stand to be corrected if am wrong.

brother so i don't have to send them the form an other time ??!!!
do u think that's not a big problem or not?!?!
This is so unfair Ash, and there has been an argument somewhere about the allocation of CNs. People are under the notion that the earlier you apply the smaller your CN. This is proof that its wrong. Hubby applied on the 2nd day of the window and well look at my CN yet Ash who applied on the 2nd last day has 29k. I will tell you why its wrong. The computer randomly selects the winners. so once all your applications are there, its up-to the computer to see you first or last, or not to see you at all. I read on a Nigeria forum some place else where a guy made 49 entries, changing a name on each but submitting the same pictures for all, well, one of the entries with a wrong name got selected. Dilemma if you ask me. On another note hubby needs to read as much coz he's the principal, its good you print for him.
Am a sister, but lets see what the others say. That was my opinion. You can post the same on the Kenya thread for 2013.
I too had been under this illusion due to the DV2012 lottery fiasco which led to results cancellation.The computer @ the time selected the first 22,000 entries to have been submitted on the opening day!!!!(who knows what has been happening to the previous DVs???).According to an explanation from a USgov official,the parameters were changed such that the computer would select winners date wise(from what I gathered) thus everyone would have a fair chance.
But this also begs the question as to how do Nigerians manage to get very low CNs??answer is very many of them apply on the opening day thus furthering the notion that early entry guarantees a low CN!!I'm yet to hear of a Nigerian with a CN past 30,000!!!
Obeez, yo right about the Nigerians, i have been to their forum on Nairaland, man you wont see a 30k CN but like i said we applied on day 2. and Ash on the second last day, it doesn't make sense. Her CN is half mine.
