F. DIVERSITY VISA LOTTERY 2014 (DV-2014) RESULTS
The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2014 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 140,660 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first *50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2014 numbers will be used during fiscal year 2014 (October 1, 2013 until September 30, 2014).
Applicants registered for the DV-2014 program were selected at random from 9,374,191 qualified entries (14,633,767 with derivatives) received during the
30-day application period that ran from noon, Eastern Daylight Time on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, until noon, Eastern Daylight Time on Saturday, November 3, 2012. The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent, or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status must contact the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services for information on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have been used, the program for fiscal year 2014 will end. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2014 will derive no further benefit from their DV-2014 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2014 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30, 2014.
Dates for the DV-2015 program registration period will be widely publicized in the coming months. Those interested in entering the DV-2015 program should check the Department of State’s Visa web page for more details in September.
* The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress
in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the NACARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.

Morning Family2133,

the next bulletin will include your CN so I hope you are ready...start processing the police clearance because it takes about 2-4 weeks to process
 
you re right my friend ....my number is 30xxx, hope I ll do the interview around Feb-March. thx again my forum mates ...and our time is coming, Family I think in November you ll be well prepared.
 
Family2133 said:
That will be great, but if you start in December again it may limit the period you will have before entering the US bcs you have to enter when its still valid. Start its processing basing on 1.The period you expect the interview 2.The period you want to stay in Uganda after the visa issuance. Good luck

Family2133,

you are correct. I need to be mindful of the visa validity period. January/February 2014 should be more appropriate I think. I need to do it and get it out of the way.

Yes according to the previous Bulletins for the last five consecutive years, my number has always fallen in November, so come November I may be in the ring. What is the validity of the Police certificate. What do I apply for according to the embassy requirements, is it Police clearance , Certificate of good conduct or Police Certificate

Don't know about where u come from but in Kenya, the Certificate of Good Conduct has been replaced with Police Clearance Certificate.
So I tend to think Whether Police Clearance, Certificate of Good Conduct or Police Certificate are one and the same.
Correct me if am wrong. :)

You will need a police clearance. Here in uganda the police call it Certificate of good conduct. You can have it processed at the Interpol offices at Plot 2 Mabua Road Kololo.

New 2014 guys register, below is the link to the East African spread sheet for 2014 selectees:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AqZnbgMvNnNHdFFZS2hKS295c1BDR1dpb1RLZ1laWnc#gid=0

I have also added a column for the month and year when any one is expecting the interview according to the previous bulletins, open and fill so that we can be able to track. The names are arranged in such a way that interview months are running from top bottom.
This was suggested by JONGE and I agree with him.
