DV 2012 interviews start on 1 October 2011, so you still have at least 5 months before the interview. When you have the interview depends on your case number. The higher the number, the later your interview will be. You can look at old visa bulletins to estimate when that will be.

Thank you for your replies! I will start browsing through everything tomorrow. 
And sorry for not realising that the answers might already be somewhere within this forum. I'm sure to check that in the future before I rush to post something! I already have more questions but I'll hold off until I'm sure I can't find answers anywhere else. Cheers! It's great to have a forum like this filled with people who are familiar with the process. Makes me feel not so alone.

But that's not so common also.

You should watch the visa bulletin to see whether your case number is current. If it is current you must ask KCC for the interview details. You still have till 30 September for the interview.
Marriage at the Notary Office
Hi,
I am married to my partner at the notary office couple of years ago and we have a 19 month daughter. We are both Greek citizens. In Greece, we are recognized as a married couple (with the exemption of filing a common tax return form, or sharing our public health/pension insurance-so in case one of us dies, the other wouldn't be entitled to receive the other person's pension).
Any way to cut the whole story, we both applied for the dv-2013 (not selected) and the dv-2014. We ticked the married box, I recently spoke to an American lawyer dealing with immigration visas (looking into applying for H-1B or an O1) and I was told that in the US we are not considered as a married couple. Hence, I would need to go on a tourist visa.
Q.: was it faulty to tick the married box on the dv- lottery application? I thought I had to include my husband and our daughter once we are legally recognized as a married couple in our country...

Help/Advice Needed!
I am a DV2013 selectee from Africa and the whole Affidavit of Support is a little confusing so here's my question:
My "sponsors" on my form are listed as my aunt and uncle (both US citizens) i.e. I will be living with them therefore I have provided their residential address.
However on DS-230-Part II I have indicated the petitioner as myself i.e. I will be financially sponsoring myself as I do not require a financial sponsor in the US as I have sufficient resources in my current country of residence as I am self-employed.
I have indicated myself as an entrepreneur/investor on my form as I do not plan to seek employment in the US but rather be self-employed.
QUESTION - do I need to go through the whole effort of the I-134 form or can I simply present my original personal bank statements and original company bank statements/annual returns/audited accounts and have a written affidavit from my parents who are the company directors that they will support me if required at the time of the interview?
Any advice or information is highly appreciated

Police Certificate question.
I have a concern regarding one of the DV Immigration requirements which is the "Police Certificate". I completed my unviersity engineering degree in Jordan from the period 2002 till 2007, I lived my life in Kuwait and I just used to go to Jordan only for the semesters purpose. The maximum period I used to stay there is 4 months then I come back to my country of residence Kuwait between the semesters.
Now, Do I have to get a police certificate from Jordan ?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks Juicee and Diecka for your replys
Diecka.. Yeah I remember this question and I didn't mention Jordan as one of the places.
I think I don't have to worry much, Thanks for both of you
Hi,
Please pay attention to the instructions :
If you spent more than 12 months in Jordan (not necessarily consecutive period of time) then you must submit police certificate from Jordan. If you spent there a total of less than 12 months then you do not need the police certificate, unless you got arrested there for any reason.
When the Applicant Needs a Police Certificate
| IF the applicant… | AND… | THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from… |
| is living in their country of nationality at their current residence for more than 6 months | is 16 years old or older | the police authorities of that locality. |
| lived in a different part of their country of nationality for more than 6 months | was 16 years or older at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
| lived in a different country for more than 12 months | was 16 years or older at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
| was arrested for any reason, regardless of how long they lived there | was any age at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
Best of luck

Police certificate
Hi mohanned
For the official instructions click on the word "instructions" in my answer above
The link is :
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4760.html
According to my understanding, if you spent more than 12 months of your life, after age 16, in another country that is not your country of nationality then you need the police certificate from that country. In your case, if you spent more than 12 months in Jordan then you need the police certificate from there.

Highest degree certificate and marriage.
I was (surprisingly) asked at interview (London):
1. Highest certificate of education. I prepared high school docs as per Instructions for Selectees: Civil Documents. But, of course, I prepared my Master degree certificate as well (and copy).
2. Marriage certificate - for me and for my wife - 2 certificate! What a surprise! We are normal and have only 1 marriage certificate. Hopefully we had additional copy (with translation).
So, be prepared!
Good luck!
