Thanks Pak Hendra. I have received the package from the agent. My case number is 2008AS000078xx. What is the chance to get interviewed? I notice this numbe is not current in 2006. I have three sons, 23 years old, 20 years old (last year) and 16 years old. Could I still include my second son?
Also could you advise the address of internet I can download the form. Just in case I need it. Sekali lagi terima kasih Pak Hendra. Could I pm you ?
pak tan kim seng
all form can be dowload here http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/forms/
choose the appropriate form.. in this case ds230 & dsp122
i just think that a hoax from your agent is still possible ..they could just reprint the whole letter with the name changed ...
i think it might be better not to pay additional fees , at least until you go for interview in us embassy

Mr. Tan,
I know that we can only include our children below 21 years old. But I am not too sure with the cut off date. Is the age consider when we fill the form or when we get the visa ? You can pm me for more discussion if you want to

Many thanks Mr Toomackie. Where did you see the number in 2006. I saw un August 2006 bulletin the number was 7700. And in September bulletin was current. What does the current mean ?.
Hi tan_kim_seng,
You are welcome. You don't need to call me Mr.
"case number becomes current" indicates that your interview date will be scheduled on the specific month for which your number or the number higher than yours appears. For instance, if you check bulletin for September 2004 for DV-2004, you see the number AS 16,300. It means that DV winner with more than 16,300 didn't get a chance to have an interview. So, if you see the word "Current" in your region it basically means that all winners will have interview date

Toomackie, do you know the cutoff of the children age 21 years old? Before interview or before we submit the lottery. Looks like one of my son could not join since he will be 21 on March 2008. Thank you.
Hi tan_kim_seng,
It seems that it's not that simple. In order to find out age qualification, it looks like Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) Section (3)
comes into play. It states:
"DV Applicants. Section 3 also applies to derivative DV applicants. Because the DV process differs substantially from the preference process, however, treatment of DV derivatives will also be somewhat different. For the purpose of calculating the period during which the "petition is pending", VO has decided to use the period between the first day of the DV mail-in application period for the program year in which the principal alien has qualified and the date on the letter notifying the principal applicant that his/her application
has been selected (congratulatory letter). That period will be subtracted from the derivative alien''s age on the date the visa becomes available to the principal alien. The date the visa becomes available will be the first day on which the Department determines the principal alien's selection number becomes eligible for visa processing."
source: http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegrams/telegrams_1429.html
Example by By Bernard P. Wolfsdorf and Naveen Rahman:
"The provision is best understood with an example. A principal applicant is selected for the DV-2004 program for which the first date for mailing the application was October 1, 2002. The principal applicant receives a congratulatory letter dated May 30, 2003, notifying her that she has been selected. Accordingly, the diversity visa petition has been pending for 242 days. The principal applicant has a high lottery number and is finally able to proceed with her immigrant petition and receive a diversity visa on September 1, 2004. She has a daughter and a son. The daughter turned twenty-one on October 1, 2003, and the son turned twenty-one on July 1, 2004. The daughter cannot benefit from CSPA, because she has been twenty-one for more than 242 days. In contrast, the son can benefit, because he has been twenty-one for less than 242 days."
source: http://www.wolfsdorf.com/DVarticles/DV 2004 Update.pdf
First date for DV-2008 entry was October 4, 2006. Since your son will be 21 on March 2008, I think he has a good chance to be eligible.
I really hope he can benefit from CSPA.

Again, many thanks Toomackie. I have another question about photo requirement. The photograph must be in color, but must have only a white or off-white background.
What does off-white mean ? Can the photo with any shirt color and white background? What is the best combination?
Off-white is a yellow-ish, a bit of gray like white, like ivory. I think you can wear any color you want, which looks good on you
Since background is white, I would wear color other than white or pale color.

Go through this post, which was logged in under this thread, it explains it very well, you just need to sit down patiently and do the arithmetic.
Let your dad include you on his forms and let the embassy make the final decision.
