Now the details: Wanted to be extra careful so I had to set double alarm last night and then went to bed. Before going to bed, I checked my documents to make sure everything was intact. Around 3:45am my eyes opened (natural instinct I guess lol) couldn't go back to sleep again so had to watch Aljazeera news to keep myself occupied. Exactly 5:30 I bordered a taxi cab. Got to the Embassy some few minutes after 6am. Meet a couple of people waiting around the embassy. At 7am the gate was opened. We were ordered to form 2 separate queues, one for immigrants the other for non-immigrants. I joined the immigrants queue and then we went through security checks. Our bags were scanned and mobile phones, laptops, usb were left at the security. We finally went through and into the main hall. Soon my name was called and my documents were taken at Window 1. I was then ordered to go do my payment at the cashier. I paid $330 and took the receipt back to Window 1. Then the waiting began. I waited for about 30 mins. While waiting I met a lovely lady who was also on DV lottery (we were too far apart to have any meaningful convo. Soon my name was mentioned and I walked over to Window 5. A lovely American CO greeted me with smiles. I smiled back (keep a smile)
