DV requirements. Please help.

Hi All,

First, good luck to all of you in this bumpy journey and I hope you all get what you wish for.

I am a US Resident and I just learned that my friend won DV 2008. First requirement is that she must have a high school degree OR 2 years of Zone 4 or Zone 5 work experience. She does not have a high school degree neither work experience except she has been doing catering at home without an established company. Would that be considered SVP range 7 (apprenticeship training)?

Thank you in advance.

call KCC and ask.

Even a nurse is in Tier 3, and they get a lot of training.

This looks tough. The US embassy in Lagos has been ruthlessly efficient in denying DV case based on work experience without high school diploma. Unfortunately this is after collecting the $355 application fee
One long shot is to try and complete an on line high school diploma before her interview; one guy from canada completed it and scaled thru' the interview; see post by Samfjd
""6. Half an hour later I got called to Window 8 where a different young man as at the counter. He just asked if I had ever been to US before to which I replied "Only while transiting to Fiji via Honululu". He also asked what I intended to do in US and when and where would I move there and I replied, work as an Accountant and Real estate investment as I have been doing here in Canada. I said it will take me 4-5 months to sell 2 of my houses and complete some other business transactions before I can move to Seattle, WA as it is conveniently closer to BC, Canada where I will still have some real estate investments to take care of. >>>>He had also asked how I had done a US High School Diploma from Canada and I explained that I had done via correspondence and online using web and internet's distance learning technology. <<<<<He then returned all our originals, took biometrics for both index fingers and said our Visa would be mailed via Canada Xpresspost within a couple of days, commenting that it will only be valid for 6 months and I must immigrate before it expires.
I thanked him and happily left for my hotel."""
The other long shot is to convince KCC and the embassy that you have been in a supervisory role which might put you in zone 4/5 and svp 7 as opposed to an entry level caterer.

so I guess I will have my dad to give a try.........
thanks a lot for all the replies.
If there is still anyone has similar case to my dad,,, please kindly post your opinion.... good luck to all!!

Yes, the Printing Machine Operators are Job Zone Two: http://online.onetcenter.org/link/su...023.00#JobZone. But, since your father was managing the shop, you could go with General and Operations Managers, which is the Job Zone Four: http://online.onetcenter.org/link/su...021.00#JobZone.
And, I think, he should have worked 2 years in the last 5 years

Otherwise, you have to deliver the message to your friend that she cannot apply. That could ruin your friendship.
Or if she can afford the $355, she can apply and see what happens.
FYI, from my review of the Dept. of labor web site though, svp 7 jobs usually require college degrees.
