Hello - well after 12 years of trying... here we are...

Wife won the DV, she has HighSchool diploma and some University
I am not the primary applicant

to the interview we are taking

Wife's HighSchool diploma
Wife's birth cert
Wife's police reports
Wife's medical report
Wife and I's marriage cert
Wife's passport

My birth cert
My police reports
my medical report
my passport

(court, prison, military docs not needed/dont apply)
(picture is inside the medical report envelope - sealed by the doctor)

Ill also take
+ bank statements with proof of more funds than mean poverty level in usa
+ stocks and bonds holdings statement
+ chest xray and vaccination documents from child hoods (all)
+ my own resume and 12 year work history and H1B status process papers

TO MY Understanding-- its not important that i take my own resume, or work history or diploma ((H1b status is not gonna help, but having it merely shows 'credability' that I have already been 'thru the system once' and they (USA government) can see im an asset to the american workforce (IT Manager)

Im CONCERNED because-- I dont actually have a ORIGINAL copy of my HighSchool diploma ((i only just now discovered this))

SHOULD I relax?

Thots appreciated...

also - my interview is July 13, and we have a holiday booked to Miami for last week of July (reward to celebrate and rush to activate the visa)

Is it realistic to believe (provided we have all forms above and that im not incorrect about the need for me to have my original HS Diploma) that we will get the visa's issued before the 25th, if the interview goes smoothly?

Is it realistic to believe that on arrival in July 25th-ish, we will be 'in time' and not 'too late' ?

three things to recap for my urgent assistance

1) does the non primary person need to bring their own 'original' High School diploma
2) ok to hope for visa-papers within a week?
3) ok to hope arriving by end July to USA will be granted actual visa?

Re: Your HighSchool Diploma = Your wife is the winner of the diversity visa so I believe it's only her that has to meet the educational requirements. You will receive a derivative visa through her.

Re: How long it takes to get the visa issued = I think this may depend on where you have your interview. I had my passport back in my hands with the visa stamp in it two days after my interview.

Good luck.
