Hi suhrid, I emailed to KCC and they replied: "Your forms have been received and are waiting to be processed. Mail is processed in the order of the date received, thus the importance of submitting your forms in a timely manner." All I can do now is just pray and wait.
If you are using your own funds, then you need about $15,000 or its equivalent. If you cannot meet this amount then you need the form I-134.
On the other hand, the consular assesses each indidivual case differently. You could still go with the £7,500 and be successful/ or no question being raised about your funding. It all depends on the possibility of you getting employed early.
it have been more than one month i had my visa interview. i am waiting for their call since then. can anyone enlighten me, how many days does it take to get response from them. is this more than one month delay in my case, is it normal ?
Dear Ammeck,
Thanks for your input. You have one wrong information out there. There is no amount requirement like $15000.00. Whoever told you this is wrong. Normally to qualify for US Immigrant Visa each person should meet the threshold of "Poverty Level" amount. You can simply go to US Immigration website USCIS dot gov and search "Poverty Guidelines". You will find the current amount. or you provide 'Affidavit of Support" from US Citizen/Resident i think its something like I-136 Affidavit form
However, saying all that there is different criteria for Immigrant Visa under DV category. As long as the consular officer is satisfied that you would be a burden for US Government a consular office can issue you with a US Immigrant Visa. Now lets say you have $3000.00 in your bank account and you are a doctor by profession. You are likely to get the visa because you are likely to get jobs in the US after your arrival. I know in some country US embassy do not require any bank statement at all!! They are happy with copy of your CV.
However, to give you a clear idea, for a single person if you have over US$5500.00 i think you meet the current Poverty Guidelines by the USCIS.
Hope this help. Be Honest and clear with them. Dont just deposit so much money into your account as this would confuse them.
Best of luck!
I think it depends. For some applicant they don't ask for any evidence but for me I showed USD.25K Bank Balance Plus I-134 from my uncle living in USA but they advised me to submit I-864 from my uncle. In my 2nd NL it was mentioned to provide with I-134.Thank you. I will submit my bank statement with £7500 GBP and my parents bank statement along with evidence of properties. Do you think that will be quite enough?
Got my visa today I would like to specially thank Metroloy, Suhrid.suhrid, Sik, Warm_Pallab, i2009, Sync and all other friends in this forum for their help and support. THANK YOU ALL. May Allah be with you always. )
I am in "administrative review". Waiting for a call. Don't know how much time it may take.

well, have a good news to share. i received my visa today.
after 2 months of wait, its a great relief; when i was almost fearing that i should give up hope.
as i am thinking, my name, having 'mohammad' and 'khan', and the islamic background of my family, made them to examine the case under 'administrative processing'. that is the cause of delay.
thank you everyone associated with this forum, for the support when i almost lost hope.

what i learned from my case is that there is nothing to fear if your criminal record (!) is okay. its just that they have a thorough check-up of ur background. i have a family of strong islamic background, and i managed to get a visa. so if you believe that you are okay, then there is nothing to fear.Congratz... Suhrid.. that is good news.. i have been following ur case since it was under adminstrative processing.. thank God lastly we hear the good news.. i am also under AP for nearly a month now..

jonydhaka,
Have you actually check the poverty guidelines to come out with that figure ($5,500)? For clarification purposes you should check the USCIS poverty guidelines for 2009 which is found here line for your analysis.
