The dv lottery has really thought some of us how to relax and wait patiently for something that we desire. And the case numbers will determine your patience level since some case numbers will have to wait several months to be current.

so far those here currently are fortunate to have received low CNs. we don't have to wait for that long.
 
A friend of mine won DV2011 and his CN was in the 80ks. He had his interview in the last week of September 2011 and was issued with a visa on the last day (Sept 30th) it was really hell for him. That year a lot of guys who missed out even though they were current staged a demo in front of the American Embassy.. That year was hell. So thank God we all have low CNs

He's in New Jersey now and we still communicate regularly
 
Hey all, someone wants to know what procedures to follow if he wants to leave after the visa validity period of six months.
 
Guys please make sure to print your 1st and 2nd letter motification when its available.
Because the EDV status check goes down sometimes for few days...
So play it safe

pls be clear, he wants to leave how? Wait after the six months b4 moving to the States? If that's the case then is a bit of a huge huge risk. I honestly don't know how that one wld pan out cos I know for sure after the six months the visa is as good as dead !!

Once his visa expires it's worthless.
If you mean however leave the US after having entered, he is fine as he is already a LPR in that case. He can then stay out for a year.

No. This applies to any immigrant visa, not just DV. For other immigrant visas if there is a major problem they can issue a new visa - not extend the existing one - but for DV there is no such provision. You get issued one, and if you don't use it before it expires, it becomes worthless.

This is a DV lottery and like any other lottery terms and conditions apply. There is no procedure to defer departure beyond the six(6) months maximum, however like @SusieQQQ said the only option after acquiring the visa is to move to the States within the stipulated six(6) months and then become a LPR (Lawful Permanent Resident) then you can move back to Gh for a duration of one year without violating the rules. Otherwise he should just forget it

Your visa will expire after the 6 month period and I don't think you should go through with the process considering the amount of money involved.

A real miracle indeed, thank God for our low CNs. 12 days more for VB to be out.
