DV 2018 Kenya Selectees

HI FOLKS!!
Let me introduce my self again. I was a DV selectee for the year 2014...with CN AF81*** I was selected while i was living in the UK. I relocated to Kenya several months before what i thought would be the interview month to spend time home before jetting off.....i was sure i would be interviewed in nairobi as i thought then i had a safe CN ....but was knocked out at the last mile by the CUT OFF with less than a 1000 digits to my CN to go. I was crushed/heart broken/ devastated......so was my family...If i was suicidal then i would not be typing this (LOL). So I had to accept and move on.....!!! I could not return to the UK because of new visa rules that had kicked in then with PM Cameron on the steering wheel. So I was stuck here at home.....but i kept trying the lottery each year......I thought i would enter US under OBAMA....but fate had it......i would see non. There was an Oklahoma party to be hosted by Family123 for those who were to make it to the US then....but was never to be. They say lightning doesn't strike twice.....I believe it has. After the 2014 disaster with CN's..... i will not put my hopes up though my CN is under 2018AF00038.......I don't know if it is a good number or not but i will just flow along...2015...2016...2017 i would have gone through.....but it is a wait and see game.....Who knows i will enter under Trump......!! Wow it is good to be back home.....Gud to see Guriix/SusieQQQ/MushyHOT/Sm1smom.....Britsimon.....Thanx for your help then......you were very instrumental....i know things have changed so has the process... i will move at a snail pace as backbencher once more......CONGRATS TO THE NEW WINNERS.....it will be a bumpy ride full of emotions etc....but hang in there you will make it to the great land of Milk and Honey......

Very lucky. Congratulations on DV2018, your CN is a safe one, best of luck for interview and medical.
 
Hi guys, my name has an apostrophe at the end. When I fill DS-260 it rejects it. Kindly advice. Another question is that my friend gets error before e-signing that "the case number you entered does not match the case number that you entered at Sign In", yet it's the same number?.

I don't know what you need to do regarding the apostrophe at the end of your name.

Your friend needs to remove the leading zeros after 2018 on his CN to enable him submit the form.

Read the instructions carefully. I'm pretty sure they tell you to leave out any special characters (that would be anything that is not a normal Latin alphabet letter) but you need to check and confirm that.

That's true SusieQQQ, it does instruct to leave out any special characters.
