Things to know before entering the DV 2011!
- Thread starter bentlebee
- Start date
What is the purpose of giving false information? Russia was eligible for DV-2010.
I am going to take the photo printed i mean at a photographer not with my own digital cam, Can you help how to make it meet the requirements for the GC lottery
Submission is electronic only, so you do not need to print the picture. Chances are that the requirements for dv11 will not change since last year. Go ahead, read the dv10 instructions, then use your digital camera and play with the file until you get a correct size. That's it.
Well so i tell the photographer not to print it just take it on a drive or something ?
It is not true!
In Europe you have to pay 755$! It is true!
Where did you read (fees can be up to $ 1,600 per person)?
It is the total of all costs before getting here...
Pictures, DV fee, medical exam, postal costs, ticket for 1 person, etc...
If you do AOS you are already here so you pay $ 375.- +$ 1010,- + medical, postal costs, etc...no ticket.
IMO the $ 1600.- is even a low amount to get it all done, if you add more people on the application the amount will be higher!
Hello rockstarw,
The instructions for DV 2010 can be found at http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/T1026V-DV-2010bulletin(3).pdf#13
For 2010, the DV application was only accepted electronically. You need to upload the required photographs and their software validates the photographs before accepting them.
Exactly, Russia was eligible for DV-2010 but it wasn't for previous years. There is a note in the DV-2010 Instructions that says:
"For DV-2010, Russia has returned to the list of eligible countries. Kosovo has also been added to the list of eligible countries. No countries have been removed from the list of eligible countries for DV-2010."

Be aware that many fraudulent web sites are showing misleading information regarding the DV requirements. bentlebee made it clear that the information provided was not official.
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
DV 2011 will begin 2nd October 2009
DV2010 Winner
Awaiting 2nd letter from KCC

Hey bentlebee.I nid ur help.Im preparin 4 dv 2011.N l wntd to apply as per the work n work experience qualification.Im a regdistrd nurse(with a diploma)So where do l indicate this,in tha form while applying online if so in whch column ,the education level column or in subsequent nl's????Thanks in advance..
When you enter online you fill out all the questions very carefull so you won't make any mistakes and check it one more time before hitting "submit".
I don't remember very well if you have to fill out your work qualification, as far as I remember it is something you have to fill out on the form when you receive the NL that you are selected as a winner and can move forward in the GC process...that is the time you need to provide all proof.
Later you have to pay the fees for the application, AOS if you do that, medical, etc....x 4...since I understand you are going to apply for 4 people.
The online form is not too difficult to fill out, only some have issues with the picture.
