Wapi Breakthrogh, I work for a USAID project, they do not give terminal benefits, you leave as you came. The only money I can get is the NSSF which is controlled by Government of Uganda

Congrats Notez...may the good lord richly blesses you....
ABOUT JOBS
I got this from Makiki (Dv 2013 kenyan selectees report here!!!!)
Let's start with work.....this is a Very important area for new immigrants like myself. There's little or nothing you can do here without a certification or a form of licence. That include pushing a wheel barrow. America is a society that believes in professionalism and rewards hard work.
Applying for job online will keep you at home for a Very long time. Submitting CV's without evidence of American certification will keep you on the waiting queue, prompting schools who view your CV to start calling you to obtain a certification and become employable.
If you want to do security jobs, that is the most abundant job here. America is security conscious. It's the cheapest training to get and it costs less than $300. After the initial 5 days training, you are given a guard card which is your licence to work as a security official. With this you earn between $9-$12 hourly. If you want to earn more, go for more training, usually for 3 weeks and obtain your gun, baton, hand-cuff and pepper spray permits. With this you earn between $16-$20 hourly.
Just Google security training centers and take off from there if you like this career path for a start. I will tell you more on nursing, teaching, driving, schooling, etcetera. Digest this first. Love you all.
I hope this enlightens someone!!! cheers

Hi Skache .... about you high CN I believe you will be interviewed you are safe. I have been following a thread with the top DV gurus.....and here is one of the calculations done by our top guru Britsimon on the matter
"
Britsimon
24200 is the number of selectees (including family) shown on CEAC up to the January cutoffs. So - looking at Rafikbos data, the January cutoff for AF was 19400 - and that is 11156 people. His data shows the visas issued numbers that could only have been issued to people up to the end of January. (because he grabbed the data on the 2nd February). So - his numbers show a total of 11294 visas for the cases up to the end January and 24200 is the number of selectees (up to the end of January).
So - Vladeks method demonstrates that the first 4 months success rate per selectee means that we need over 70k visas to satisfy the demand. Or to put it another way, at current success rates (for first 4 month and with NO AP cases going to issued and NO AOS) we would get to 55k visas with 117,854 selectees. Or we could get to 50k with 106964 (again with NO AOS and NO AP cases turning to issued)
So, contrary to your theory that we will see higher failure rates this year, we are actually seeing lower failure rates than 2013. So Sloner - what do you think? "

Thanks for the great idea......if you are a lady you better carry some hair for braids or weaves...as it will be expensive buying them from the local West African shops as they are expensive. I keep sending some to relatives in Europe. Choose a hair style that will last a few weeks without needing repairs or redoing you will save same $$$$. Have it done a day before flying out.... To do braids in Europe was about 60 pounds (kenya shillings 8659.68). I am not sure about US rates...but better prepared than not. If you can do hair eg weaves, braids you can make a few extra $$$$ by doing them in your house. For men well i can only suggest you buy a shaver...I bought one in Europe for myself and my wife would trim my hair every two weeks.... i know it might conflict with some African cultures...but I never paid anyone to cut my hair all the years i was there. Even now back home she still does it better than some barbers...and it has been so hygienic as well as I never worry of infections etc.
