dv lottery selectee and future spouse
Hi thanks for all the good info on here. We just found out yesterday my partner was selected for further processing for the 2013 lottery. I thought results came out mid June so
I'm affraid we might be behind the 8 ball so to speak.
We planned to marry later this year but now are trying to speed that up the soonest we can marry is in a month. Can he still go ahead and complete step 2
Of the process the DS forms and put in our set marriage date of 28th July on the forms and post to Kentucky? Or do we need to wait until we are married
And fill forms in with date of marriage and post them to Kentucky then. Just don't want to miss out. This is an absolute dream come true and a blessing from the universe.
This is what we have deemed of
thanks in advance

What is your CN number? There is no hurry to send your forms complete the wedding etc then send. Make sure you document your relationship prior to selection as well as the wedding very well.
You will be put through severe tests including separate interviews. Read the forum it has many such cases and people stating their interview details etc..
The CN Number is 20132ZUCY35*****
Thanks so we don't need to rush and send those intial DSP-122 forms and a new supplemental DS-230 form for him before the wedding to gurantee our spot at all. We haven't sent anything to Kentucky since we have found out. I thought it sounded like a bit of a first come first serve basis with the visas that's all.
Thanks
Hi sorry the CN number is 2013OC00001###
So im just trying to understand, since this case number is already allocated
Does that mean they already have an idea of the sequence of interviews they will
Run? Therfore there is no mad hurry for us to return our paperwork immeiatel.
How do i know if we have a low or high case number? Should we send an
Updated ds 220 to kentucky though prior to the wedding to inform them of our intent
To marry. Thanks very much. Congrats on you sucessful interviw

Hi
Am looking at your CN and it looks like a very high CN and being from the oceanic region the interview might be real soon. This is just my take though and i would urge other older members to say something about it. You can check previous forums and try to estimate your interview time through previous visa bulletins which are released every 15 or 16 of the month.

No, not too late. I sent mine in 3 weeks ago and they got it July 2nd.
I think people get the idea that you must rush your forms to Kentucky because they think their interview date is determined by the order in which Kentucky receives the forms. But your case number has already determined that.

DV 2013 Lottery Winner and Marriage
Hi I posted a few weeks ago when we found out my partner won the 2013 lottery. We are still trying to set a date for the wedding. I just wanted some help with Info. I would like it if we could wait until Oct/early Nov to get married and have a proper wedding. But I know we are blessed with this opportunity and we need to grab it. I don't want to lessen our chances and my partner is anxious to get the paperwork done.
So I guess I wondering should we elope and do the wedding party thing, or can we wait until Oct/early Nov and do it properly. In the mean time should my partner send an adjustment of status, or any paperwork or can he not send that until we are married?!
We are from the Oceanic, Australia and his Case Number is 2013OC000016##
I don't really understand, does it mean if his case number is high we have good odds, so we can wait, or should we not risk it with something so important and just elope be happy with our opportunity to gain a greencard and have a wedding celebration later.
The Greencard is a true dream for us to live and work in the USA and we don't want to lose that opporunity. I know friends and family will understand if we need to elope.
Thanks in Advance. H

hi there,
The interviews are conducted in the order of your case #. Since your case no is high (for OC region), you have ample time on your hand. The Visa bulletin is published around the middle of each month on the State dept website and that indicates what case nos are current. The fiscal year begins in Oct each year. Here is how it went in 2012 for OC region.
Oct 2011 - 300
Nov 2011 - 500
Dec 2011 - 575
Jan 2012 - 650
Feb 2012 - 775
Mar 2012 - 925
Apr 2012 - 1000
May 2012 - 1150
Jun 2012 - C
Jul 2012 - C
Aug 2012 - C
Sep 2012 - C
The above means that if you have a case no lower than what is cutoff for each month, you will interviewed in that month. For instance any OC selectee with a case no of 300 or less will be interviewed in OCT 2011. "C" means current and all case nos can be interviewed. As you can see anyone who had a case # greater than 1150 was interviewed in Jun 2012 or later. In prior years most OC selectees with case nos > 1600 were only interviewed in July or later.
KCC roughly takes a couple of months to process the papers, so you have plenty of time. You can get married in Oct/Nov and send the paperwork after that for both of you since it is unlikely that you will be interviewed before May/Jun 2013.
Good luck!

USA Arrival
we had a long flight into San Francisco on Friday. we got in on time but there was a huge clue as a lot of flights had arrived.
In SFO they have a separate line for new immigrants when wee got into the line the officers were really worked up in fact on of them told me later that they had one of the busiest days in recent times that day. we had to wait over 2.5 hours to finish the process as there were a large number of immigrants that day around 20 were being processed before us so it took a wile. they looked very Korean / Chinese and since they could not talk English well they were driving the officers crazy.
now the process itself is simple they will fingerprint you electronically take a photo and they also finger print your index finger with ink the old fashion way and make you sign a form. they then open your envelope and pull out the photos and attach to this card which goes for the green card processing i assume.
The envelope contains all the Ds forms we send after being selected along with the papers we gave at the interview these i assume will all go to the USIS as our records.
the officer after entering all the info explained to us that we should receive the green card in 3 to 6 months that's the official line. however unofficially he did say it arrives sooner. i heard another officer tell the couple he was processing that they would need to visit the SS office i will do that Tom-mow.

Dear brother,
I am so happy for you that you reached US safe and sound.
I have read all yours posts on this forum, and a couple of questions, if you don't mind.
1) As I have read, you also did not have a sponsor in US, you were going there on your own assets. It means that an affidavit of support from someone in US is not important, if one can prove that he has got enough assets and financial means to supports him/herself once he/she gets to US. Am I right?
2) You successfully passed the interview, could you please tell us, if you don't mind, something about your education, and profession, and also something about your assets. We can learn alot from your experience
3) Mistakenly I have disclosed all my dv-2013 lottery details to a friend, e.g. my confirmation number, date of birth, full name, case number. I don't trust that friend of mine. Can he create any problems for me, sir?
Thanks a million!
please help me
I apply for B1/B2 VISA in 2009 and I make my marital status MARRIED ( which is false) and I was refuse the visa twice in the same year.
2013 i was selected for DV2013 and my marital status was never MARRIED (true).
Im asking since they took my fingerprint in my previous application, they were having my personal document.
So can dis affect my chances of getting DV2013 VISA.And has any body encounter such problem.

That will affect you unless you prove divorce (with court papers) or some other credible story. Yet again, NEVER MARRIED is different from DIVORCED or SEPERATED. Those guys are not daft. They will check your record for sure. You said you were married and now all of a sudden, you have never married, man thats tricky. Did you prove your marital status by giving them a marriage certificate in 2009? Coz you can't claim yo married yet you have no proof. The other option would be to swear an affidavit stating that in 2009 you were co-habiting with your girlfriend of say 2 years and you honestly believed that you were married just as some cultures recognise co-habiting after elopment as a marriage (meaning there was no official customary ceremony otherwise that would be described as a marriage in some parts of Africa). And that was why you filled the form wrongly that you were married whereas not. However, you were advised by a Lawyer that co-habiting is not a marriage and that is why you filled in your right status as never married at the time of the DV application.
@ ash2013;truth be told,u hit the nail on the head;having read ur post,it got me thinking;could this guy's visa denial in 2k9 be based on the premise that he was married yet he was not?
On the other hand,don't u think u r stretching it a bit when u say that he consulted a lawyer for the DV application after staying married for some 3 years.If u were in the CO's shoes,would you buy it?
But hey,at least he got an idea,let him run with it if he's feeling lucky?

i declared my own assets. as per past posts anything in the region of 15000 to 20,000 USD will do
well for education i am a US CPA and have a masters in addition to other professional qualifications do i guess that made it a little easy for me
well regarding your friend its difficult to say however the manual intervention in the DV process is very minimal so you should be fine he could check your details and know when you interview etc but not much more then that. be more careful one your interview notice arrives....
