Ben toch echt wel benieuwd of er nog een volgende trekking komt.
Entitlement to immigrant status in the DV category lasts only through the end of the fiscal (visa) year for which the applicant is selected in the lottery. The year of entitlement for all applicants registered for the DV-2013 program ends as of September 30, 2013. DV visas may not be issued to DV-2013 applicants after that date.
Wijziging aangebracht in het bericht. Er wordt duidelijk vermeld dat het programma eindigt op 30 september.

Ik plaatste hier per ongeluk een quote van een eerder bericht, terwijl ik niet de bedoeling had hier iets te schrijven.
Negeer dit bericht dus maar. De quote heb ik voor alle duidelijkheid dan ook weggehaald. Anders zou je je kunnen afvragen waarom er een quote staat, zonder verdere reactie.

In de eerste plaats weet ik niet in hoever ik andere personen op andere fora mag geloven, maar
wil even het voorbeeld aanhalen van een persoon die blijkbaar toch geselecteerd was ondanks
er op het scherm stond: "has not been selected". Volgens de persoon in kwestie lag het probleem
bij het gebruik van een oudere versie van IE.
Bij nieuwere versies stond er dat hij geselecteerd was, doch bij de oude versies was dit niet zo.
Misschien toch maar proberen om je aanmelding te controleren op meerdere computers, ofwel
was dit een broodje aap verhaal, ik weet het niet. Maar wil het wel even terug voor jullie
opzoeken indien jullie dat wensen.
Ik heb het bericht na wat speurwerk terug gevonden.
Lees gerust eens door en denk er van wat je wil.
Er is ook een handig gedeelte over het interview, goed voor mensen
die plannen hebben of die binnenkort zelf naar het consulaat moeten
voor het interview.
PS: Weet niet of het mag (berichten plaatsen van andere fora), don't shoot me if not!
My WHOLE DV Lottery Experience from Start To Finish.
Hello!
I have looked at this forum a million times throughout my journey and have found it sooo amazingly helpful I thought I would share my experience in the hopes that it might help some people.
I am from Australia, and applied for the DV Lottery in November 2010 on a whim. I didn't really think I had a chance but I guess you have to be in it to win it! My friend and I both entered and I put my number in a safe place because I knew it was a long wait! I checked my number in May and it came up with the message 'You HAVE NOT been selected.' I wasn't really surprised to be honest so I threw away my piece of paper. Sometime after that I read that there had been a mistake and the lottery that was drawn had not been random and they were going to do it again. I was excited but I had already thrown out my piece of paper with my number so I thought that was a bit unfair. Low and behold after a few days I received an email telling me my number and to check again July 15th. I thought that this was some kind of sign so I kept the email and was feeling alot more positive this time around.
After another two months of waiting (Waiting becomes a theme in this process) I checked it on the morning of the 15th. I could not believe my eyes that I had been selected! I almost thought it was too good to be true and after the last draw being wrong I didn't get my hopes up too high, and not knowing much about the process I wasn't sure what my chances were. I knew I was in for a long process but I had ALWAYS wanted to live and work in America so I was beyond excited! I filled in my forms that weekend and sent them away to KCC. I used an express post bag but it didn't have tracking and it was frustrating not knowing if it had arrived, so I would advise anyone who is sending their forms to use tracking.
I evenutally emailed them asking to confirm whether they had my forms. They said they had been received. I went back onto the DV website to check my status again (strange I know) and it said I 'HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED.' I was using a different computer that was older and didn't have the up to date internet explorer so it came up wrong. Use and UP TO DATE browser when checking otherwise you could get the wrong message. I went home and checked again and all was in order.
After this there is a MASSIVE wait until you hear from them again for your interview time. My interview was at the end of November, and although this is pretty early I still felt like I was waiting FOREVER! I went and had my fingerprints done, had my medical which was easy, and then got all of the other documents in order. The selectee site that the DV government gives you isn't that comprehensive, so I searched this forum for Sydney Consulate information. I found some great stuff that told me exactly what to take, and to also take a photocopy as well.
During the wait before my interview I did alot of research online. I think I must have known everything there was to know about the process. Of course I still had some doubts in my mind and had read horror stories about people not getting a Visa for various reasons. There is a great place that takes american size passport photos just near the embassy, so I did that the day before.
THE DAY: I stayed at a place just 1 street away from the consulate in Sydney which was the way to go. You want to be able to walk to your appointment so that you know you won't get stuck in traffic. At 7:40am I arrived at the consulate and went up to level 10 where you go through security. It wasn't open yet but there were three others waiting there. It opened maybe 5 minutes after I got there so we went it, I didn't take a bag cause then you have to check it in, and the others had all kinds of things so I got to skip past them and was the first to sit down. After 5 minutes of waiting a lady took about 4 of us up the elevator to the Consulate. If I could recommend ANYTHING it would be to go straight to level 10 at about 730am. That way you are first and you won't have to wait. I have read things about getting in the elevator last so you get out first and are first in line, but this didn't really matter because in the end whoever is the most organised will get through the fastest anyway.
We got up to the embassy level at about 755am, where number 1 was called, then myself. I went up to a window and presented all of my documents listed, original with photocopy underneath and was asked to sit down and wait. I had everything they had asked for and anything they didn't want to see (financials) they gave straight back to me then and there. Only give them what they have asked for, and if they want anything additional they will ask you themselves. They then took about 5 minutes to review my documents.
I was then asked to go to the window to pay, so I went there and paid with credit card. This for me was much easier then messing around with money. I sat back down and about 5 more minutes later was called up for my interview. The lady asked me the following questions:
- What was your longest stay in the US?
- What visa were you on for that stay?
- Have you ever had any immigration problems?
- What is your highest level of education?
- Where did you get your bachelor from?
- Do you have any children?
- Have you ever been married?
- Where do you intend on living?
- Have you ever commited a crime?
That's all for today, your visa will be with you in a week.
I walked out of the doors at 8:20am. It was such a quick and easy process. I actually couldn't believe how easy it was. Only a couple of days later my visa had arrived. I am moving in February and could not be more excited!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
Dat is wat je zou verwachten ja... Maar blijkbaar werd daar geen aandacht aan gegeven.
Ik hoor nu al verhalen van mensen om op z'n minst iedere maand te controleren.(tot september 2013)
We zullen dat maar doen...
Willemijn schreef:@Wallstreet: waar heeft u dat gehoord dan? Lijkt me helemaal omslachtig.
Bepaalde mensen op andere fora zijn zo ver gegaan, dat ze contact (telefonisch) hebben opgenomen met KCC.
Waarschijnlijk was dit een standaard antwoord van de medewerkers van KCC, maar meermaals was de clue dat deelnemers
gevraagd werd om sowieso hun status is de gaten te houden. Ik vraag me ook af wat er van aan is, maar neem toch aan
om het beter maar te doen. Het lijkt me ook omslachtig, maar echt zo veel moeite kost het niet. En sinds KCC afgestapt is van het
versturen van een NL (notification letter) per post, lijkt me het toch het beste om zelf meermaals te controleren.
Jammer dat er zo weinig winnaars zijn uit onze contreien. Op naar dv2014 dan maar.
Dit vind ik dus een afknapper van formaat! Slecht 1 winnaar op het forum, en dan nog iemand die hier 1 bericht heeft geplaatst nadat hij gewonnen heeft, en voor de rest niks meer van zich laat horen. http://forum.allesamerika.com/viewtopic ... t=vbreugel
Een dieptepunt.

Het is enorm teleurstellend, eerst de problemen van dv2012, nu dit...
Jammer dat ik niet sinds dv2009 mee deed. Al was dat ook geen zekerheid
Maar voor een forum als dit, is het jammer..

Hoezo krijgen de winnaars geen enveloppe meer in de bus?
Nee er worden geen brieven meer verstuurd.
Kandidaten dienen hun resultaat te controleren.
Wanneer het resultaat positief is, krijgen ze een link naar de nodige gegevens.
Deze dienen dan via e-mail bezorgd te worden, althans heb ik me laten vertellen.
Maar in één van de topics over de dvlottery staat er een goede link met een antwoord op al je vragen hieromtrent!
