Yes, comprehensive immigration reform has been on GW Bush's agenda, and now on Obama's. It may never pass, but something is going to change eventually. The DV program is highly controversial in the US and lots of people are afraid of frauds, scams, and open entries to terrorists. True or not, this is what people believe, and if there is one thing the US voter would agree on for a reform, is to cancel the DV program. It is a pity as it is for me the only way left for hard working immigrants to access the American Dream. You don't necessarily need only PhDs or Doctors to build a country. The hard working middle class immigrants is what made America, as we know it today. Too sad one forgets what built this country.

Stories like this annoy me so much! I am an Australian who longs to live and work in the US. I have had multiple visas there and it is my dream. I was not selected in the DV2014. I checked this forum almost every day of the year to keep up with people here and talk about US related things. To read someone was seleceted from my country, and doesn't even know if they will take it really makes me question what is fair. I can just pray for Oct when they hopefully release more from DV2014, and continue to pray that DV2015 will take place....sigh.

You've got enough funds to go through. The standard deviation is between $10,000 USD and $20,000 USD and you've got your degree so absolutely nothing to worry about.
Tax returns I don't think you'll need to show at the interview (I've not read this anywhere).
As for the timeframe you have you'll know from October 1st 2013 onwards when the next fiscal year starts as to the case number cut-offs for your region. It won't be immediate i.e. they notify you 6 weeks before your interview date so you'll have that time to gather all your documentation together so the moment you receive your 2nd NL start acting within 24 hours.
Bank statements depend from embassy to embassy/country to country but to be safe go with 6 months bank statements.
If you know someone in the US then go with the I-134 form (single applicant) as it is a strong affidavit.
Feel free to ask anything else you need to know mate
Case No - DV2013AF0007XXXX (applied the first time and got it the first time - lucky me lol)
Entry Checked - 1st May 2012

Confirmation From KCC - 25th May 2012 after I sent them an email
2nd NL - Not Yet
Police Clearance - Not Yet

why i need to have I-134 form (single applicant) as it is a strong affidavit?
Hey, Thanks so much for the well wishes. Congrats to you and your wife. One day it will be my turn!

You don't need it really, but there's no harm in having it. If you're paying your own way through then you don't need it.

Hello everyone and congrats to who won 2014
I am just registered and very happy to tell you all that my wife got selected for the dv-2014
Case number 2014EU00002xxx.
As new here i would have 2 questions.
1, with this case number when do you think they will send the 2nd NL for our interview??
2, i think i made a mistake on the forms i sent to KCC. On form DS-230 part two, question 39. i answered wrong by not putting my wifes name as pettitioner or self petioned but instead i putted my uncles name who lives in US and is going to support us when we go in the first weeks.
Is this going to be an issue for them and eventually disqualify us from further processing??
Is it needed to resent those forms corrected to KCC??
Please any help will be higly apreciated,

You must correct that before the interview. I would suggest sending the whole pack again, the forms, the photos and the barcode page. Use the opportunity to spend some time checking all your answers to make sure it is very accurate - it doesn't matter if you spend a bit of time on this now because your case number means you won't be interviewed until summer next year.

1. Your case number is very low so you will be processed very quickly - probably having your interview in October, 2013.
2. The mistake won't disqualify you. You can correct it now by sending a new set of forms to KCC. Since your case will be processed very early I would suggest you do that asap.
Hello there and thank you for the quick reply.
Can i do that correction on the day of interview?? or i have to send the full pack again with all the info as the first time including th photografs??
Thanks again,

For this mistake you could probably correct it on the day - however, to correct it you only need to send replacement forms (not photos as well) so I would personally want to correct it - and there is enough time to do so.

Yes, you did right to out N/A. I made a mistake as i thought i would put there who is supporting me in US when i arrive.
You are fine as you made them.

DV lottery winners are self petitioners - some people think it is a sponsor - it is not.

Do u mine i was right by putting n/a or i should have written my name as petitioner for me, and for my wife and son?

Your name should have been the petitioner for all parties - BUT I don't think it is a big deal. They will simply correct that at the interview. If you want you can also send in corrected forms to KCC...
I dont understood this thing about de cut off...can you be so kind an help me? if posible I would like to know more or less when will be my interview?
