Hi all,
I am DV08 winner in Japan and have already recieved my 2nd letter from KCC. I am scheduled for interview on 1st week of November and would like to share/seek information to prepare properly for it. Lets try to utilize this forum for our mutual benifit.
For me, I would like to request the experienced people who won DV from Japan to suggest what forms should we be filling beside the regular birth/police/education/healthrecord stuffs. There is no proper information on the American Embassy Tokyo about this dv winners. Do we need to fill up any other standard forms when thinking of showing evidence of support as bank statement.

Regards

Interview scheduled : 1st week of Nov
 
Hi sagamihara_boy san,

In my case, I prepared copies of Tax forms just in case because I had a student job when I was F1.
Also, I brought old passports. But, they did not ask me any additional materials at interview.
As for bank statement, you just need to ask your bank to issue English version of "Zandaka Shomei"

Good luck!

Thank you for the suggestion Tomoaki san,
For me I have not lived in US so I dont have anything so show besides Zandaka stuff. That means I have to live with that.
Btw, when did you get your passport and papers back after you finished your interview. Is it possible to get your passport back on the same day as your interview. I have this unfortunate situation, I have to go to some other country on business 3 days after my interview, and that means I need to have my passport back. Do you have any ideas on it, how it works.

Thanks for the help
 
One another question on this,
do you have to fill any other forms while going to interview if you are not being sponsered by family/relatives or job offers in US? I mean the forms like
1-130 or I-864 (as both forms are to be filled by people in US) .
Your response is highly appriciated.

I am DV-2004 winner, and at that time they returned the documents back after the interview.
But, the situation has changed, and US Embassy Tokyo won't return them the same day.
It seems that people usually receive the documents next day by Expack.

If your bank account has enough amount, you don't need to worry about it. It would be ideal if you have job offer,
but you will be fine. I didn't turn it in. Generally speaking, Japanese don't need to submit I-134 as long as they
have enough amount of money on their bank account or job in US.

thank you Toomackie
I guess I understood the situation now, that means if I have enough (more than 125% of the poverty line), in my bank a/c that should be fine, is what it means right. One more question if you care to answer, you had said that in your documents you had the zandaka (eng) from your bank, which I guess is not the summary of 6 months or lets say a year. It shows the current standing right? Do you think we need to show the documents of few months of transaction. I have my eng version of the coming month prepared, but all the other transaction summaries are in Japanese. Can you suggest if it makes any trouble.
Thanks in advance

Yes. But, in my opinion, US Embassy in Tokyo tends to ask more. It means they ask more than 125%. So, the more is the better.

You don't need to worry about 6 month account summary If you have interview in US Embassy, Tokyo.
Zandaka shomei (current standing) is just fine.:)
