• Hello Members, This forums is for DV lottery visas only. For other immigration related questions, please go to our forums home page, find the related forum and post it there.

For the DV 2013 lucky ones and future entrants.

I have a question, is the interview date will be communicated, I mean is necessary to be 4 to 6 weeks, or it can be more than that (let's say two months) as the longer the period of notification, the better for me to organize and prepare.

well that is a silly mistake to make. the key here is that all documents like the education as well as passport and birth certificate need to read the same.

a single letter extra or missing should not be an issue in a normal case unless fraud is suspected.

I would suggest put the surname as it actually is on the passport. better to be truthful then try and make a new one.

so brother do i have to write the right surname on the forms 230 and 122 or i have to change my passport.

because changing the passport here is a very bad operation and takes a long time and they can not change it some cases...


i don't know what to do...


i some forums they told that i have to change it on the forms 230 and 122 better than changing the passport...


anyone have the same case or knows someone who has this problem...


i need help i didn't send the froms yet plzzz...

From http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9662 , the country-specific instructions for Tunisia (they forgot to put the title "military records", but there is text about it):

"Available. The Bitaket Sirah is merely a discharge certificate issued to anyone who performed military service. It does not include a conviction before a court-martial. Crimes committed while performing military service will appear in the ordinary police records. Applications for Tunisian military discharge certificates should be addressed to the Ministere de la Defense Nationale (Tunisian Ministry for Defense), Tunis."

There's many more documents needed than just your passport, like your birth certificate, bank details etc. All of which need the same last name... Wouldn't you rather just be truthful and change the forms? Rather than basically changing everything in your life that has your name on it (which may not even be possible..) I'd rather be truthful and honest about it and hope they agree, rather than lie and be pulled up on it and then definitely not granted the visa..

Arab countries are famous for writing the names in slight variation when translated from Arabic to English (eg Mohammed, Muhamed, Mohamed.etc. )

I honestly believe as Jessie says it better to be truthful and just enter the correct name in the DS forms if its just the "e" than i see no real issues.
 
Dears... i am from syria but i moved to a neighboring country a couple of months back due to the unrest taking place in syria. in addition, the american embassy closed in syria and all syrians are supposed to have their interviews in Amman. the question i have is: should the documents i submit on the interview day to the embassy of Amman be attested by the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or will they accept the documents as long as it is all original. in other words, do they know and trust how documents from Syria look like or should it be attested by syrian and jordanian authorities to be accepted?

one more question, would they accept a police certificate that has been issued 4 or 5 months before the interview date?

please help or direct me to any website that would provide some information on this...

thanks a million

I am Syrian living in Qatar, I have won the lottery, and got all the documents attested by the ministry of foreign affairs in Syria and they should accepted as any agency in the world accept the attested documents, I got attested documents to apply for my CPA exams, however, what confuse me is the documents state that we should get Police certificate and criminal record, and in Syria you get not convicted certificate which include both, I don't know if you know different information. please help me if you do.

your interview would be this year with a low CN like that. even if they schedule you lets say in December then you still can call the embassy in which your interview is to be held and request to delay to the date suitable to you.
 
I can't wait for my interview to be scheduled, almost every day I am checking the status of my application, and some one told me that maybe my interview will be held on October, and I can't wait

Wait is killing me :)
