I am from India. And over here only the rich can manage the amount specified in the poverty guidelines. I am from middle class and i cannot manage that much amount. Practically speaking , if i had the amount specified in the poverty guidelines , i won't have even thought of entering DV-2011.

I thought India is in the list of ineligible countries.

I understand but the USA can't let every one in the country unless the can proof they can make a living for them self without getting to be a burden on society which wouldn't be fair to the American's and only would be a bigger chance of the DV programm being shut down!

It is good to know what you need to have upfront and to proof so you won't spend your hard earned money for nothing and end up being denied.

Agree with you. But I also red on some forums that some people weren't asked about their bank statements.

I guess it all depends. For example if they see that you have advanced degree, good work experience and you English is on a good level your interview may take only few minutes.

Vaccinations are something different than bank accounts....if a CP employee thinks you are capable of getting a job and your English is very good he/she might not ask any further but has the right to do so.

With not enough proof of required vaccinations the USA will deny your entry! Or you must have a very good reason why you don't have them...being pregnant or having a medical issue which doesn't allow you to get the vaccins.

Regarding the vaccinations. Is it something similar to police certificate. I mean that you have to get a letter from a doctor assigned by US Embassy or something?
 
No, you might get them from any doctor, but you need to present the certificate to the US Embassy approved doctor at a medical examination appointment, or you can have the examiner to administer them to you on the exam.

So it's not something difficult, unlike police certificates. Thanks for the info.

P.S. Still no news about DV 2011. Maybe they have canceled it :(
 
You have to go to a certified cicil surgeon which is approved by the USCIS. They have a list available for the USA and I guess they have a list available of doctors in your country. You can't just go to your primary doctor and have it filled out. So don't waste any money or time.

The civil surgeon will know exactly what you need and don't need and according to how much proof you have of past vaccinations that will determine what you need and how much you have to pay. If they test you for TB which is required and it comes up they might order X-Rays and the cost will be higher...if you need HPV the cost will increase, if you need vaccinations the cost will increase....etc.

My friend had all her vaccination that were required and she needed to give blood which was tested...the cost was $ 100.- and when the results are in you can pick up your documentation which you need later on...don't open the sealed enveloppe! You will get a copy for your own records....so the cost per person can vary from $ 100.- to $ 400 or higher per person for the medical.

I wouldn't be a burden! I can make a living! But do I really need to have $20.000 in the bank to prove it?

The cost is probably $100-$400 in states but I guess it will be less in some countries. For instance in countries where $400 may be an average monthly salary :)
