DV-2015 winners and 2016 applicants South america and the Caribbean

She left 8 years ago, she was married to an American citizen but she failed the residence because the husband had never declared taxes, she is now divorced

Hmmmm. I would suggest she enters. That 8 years could be 8.1 or 8.2 years - right? The DV2017 lottery will close 9/30/2017. So - even if she is under a ban now, she might not be by that time. So - she enters, and IF she wins - she could decide how to handle it.

Ok thank you very much
 
Hey guys! So, today i got all my papers legalized at MPPRE with the Apostille. Very easy, very fast. I just got there at 8:30 and waited for 20 minutes to be called. It was very well organized. Nevertheless, Caracas is no longer the only place you can have your documents legalized with the Apostille, since it can now be done at every Principal Registry of every state.
 
Hi guys,

Has anyone recently applied online for the police certificate in Venezuela? The website says it starts at 7am but when I log in at 7am the 600 numbers for the day are already taken so it does not let apply for the police certificate....

Any ideas??

Cheers,
 
Hi guys! i write a bit sad, perhaps dissapointed after checking that VB yesterday... I am SA76X, and I was hopeful i'd be current for January. And now i have to wait for February or even March. Statistically, it should have been for January. I don't understand why they did call so few cases, just 25 like last month! I know this is a patience game, but i'm getting desperate! Don't know about you...

@Carlos/Maria! I was able to get them quite easily. I even browsed the site at 1:00pm and did bot requests, mine and my wife's. I guess that day i was a bit lucky, then. Try to do it early but not so much, like at 8 or 9... One thing i found peculiar is that when i went to pick them up at La Candelaria there was a long line of people who were doing the whole process at the CICPC offices, bypassing the web form. I though i had to do the line as well, but when the officer saw i already had an appointement he sent me straight in to get my certificate at the booth. Saludos!
 
Britsimon got a question for you....

My home country (Venezuela) police certificate was issued in July 2014 and I have not returned to Venezuela ever since I got it, as it covers all my time in Venezuela do you think it will be sufficient? My concern is around is a bit old and they normally have a 1 year validity....

I sent an email to the embassy (Sydney) where my interview will be and they advised me it should be fine as I have not gone back to Venezuela after I got the police certificate BUT the case officer could ask for an updated certificate if he wanted...

Any thoughts???

Cheers

I think the advice from the Sydney embassy is both accurate and authoritative. I can't improve on that!

Im sorry to hear that Cornelio but as you say it's a patience game!
 
interview experience Caracas (Venezuela)

Hello! I don’t want to start this post describing our interview experience without thanking God in the first place, who blessed our lives enormously. Secondly, I have to thank God for letting me know @Cornelio, who guided us and was very supportive thru the entire experience, and last but not least to @Britsimon for all his knowledge and answers with absolutely good heart and will.


Our appointed interview was scheduled for Dec 2, 2:00pm at the American Consulate in Caracas. We got there by 1:00pm and went to the first security checkpoint. Form there we went thru other screenings and checking before getting to the Immigrant Section. We took a ticket are we called at booth 14. The CO gently greeted us and proceeded to take our fingerprints and told us to sit while he asked my wife (the main applicant) all our documents. I sat with mi kid in front of the booth and I could hear everything she was asked. First our passports, then my wife’s civil documents, then mines and our son’s. He only requested photocopies of each documents and the original translations. After that, the CO asked for me to come to the booth and asked if i was married previously, how many times I had traveled to the US and what was the longest stay there. He told me to take a seat again and kept asking my wife for more documents. After 10 minutes he told her to go pay the visa fees for the interview: 330USD @6,30VEF/USD and that we were going to be called by another CO afterwards. She made the payments and handed them to the first CO. It was just 1 minute of wait and we were being called to booth 16. The officer told us to raise our right hand to make an oath of telling the truth and nothing but the truth; he took again our fingerprints and no questions asked he told us straight forward “Your visas have been approved! Congratulations!”

I must say that both COs were very kind, gentle and respectful. It took us just 30 minutes from entering to leaving with our visas approved.

I strongly advice to all selectees avoid paying for any agent services. This was very simple even though it seems to be complex. The blog britsimonsays.com helped a lot from my experience. But above it all, have faith in God almighty.

I wish all God’s blessings for those who have their interviews scheduled for next month or are waiting for their 2NL.

God bless you all.

Congrats man! Santa came earlier this year ;)
I am so happy for you and your family, hoping to follow your steps soon... Just a question: Did they ever bother to ask you anything about the financial support, bank savings proof or affidavit?
