DV 2020 All Selectees

Hello Everyone,
So i submitted my documents in Aug 2019 and got my interview schedule email last week - first week of Dec 2019. Hurray CN 2020AF88**
I have been going through the checklists and i have found it quite generalised. Is there a link to a checklist specifically for DV Winners? For example, i saw that i have to request my sponsors last tax forms and bring with me to the interview. I doubt this is needed for DV as i am going to live with my uncle in Texas and will be showing a bank statement of about 10k US dollars in my account.
Please if you can shed any light on this and also point out to any sub forum on 'interview prep' that would be lovely.
Thank you very much.

Hello everyone
I was selected for DV 2020. My number is high, SA36XX.
I have a girlfriend for seven years but I have never been married.
I applied to the DV 2020 as a single, I sent the DS 260 and the documents in august as a single.
If I got married in december could it affect me in the interview and therefore in the process of obtaining the visa?

It should be fine, as you will have evidence of a genuine relationship. When you get married, update your ds260 and add your new wife as derivative. She will then be able to get a visa with you, assuming you interview after you marry.

Did you read the website that is linked from your interview letter? This https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...a-program-entry/diversity-visa-interview.html and following pages tell you pretty much all you need to know, unless there is any consulate-specific info to add (which is also linked from these pages).
 
Thank you Susie.. I did read it.. Every inch of it and every single link. Was just making sure. Anyway, i got a checklist from the Embassy.

I have many photos since the beginning of the relationship, conversations and some publications on Facebook.

Hii there
Can I apply for 2021 lottery if I'm 2020 selectee having a scheduled interview?

Yes, but curious as to why you would if you already have an interview scheduled? The only issue from now would be a disqualification, are you worried about that?

Hey all,
I have a question regarding the US address that I‘ll have to provide in order to receive the Greencard. Does it have to be the address of a private person? I worked at an NGO in the US before and was wondering whether I could just submit their address.
 
So I just want you guys to confirm that this info is correct, that the person whose address I will be including in the DS-260 form (the permanent address where I would stay when arriving to the US or have the green card delivered) should be an American Citizen or a permanent resident.

Also, in case I have no contact of such a person, how should I manage the permanent address thing?
My parents should be the ones who will provide the financial support until settling in the US. So I was planning to get their bank statements to proof that I won't be public charge when I arrive to the US. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

There is no check or restriction on who the person is, just that it has to be a valid street address.
