Long time no see, I had given up on moving to the USA seeing there was no point, after my first posts here.

But I did apply and got the paperwork thru today for the lottery GC.
So just wanted to ask, I fill in what they have sent me,and photos back to Kentucky, then what happens next, I will sort out my documents for the poss. interview.

But just wanted to find out from you lot what happens and what to expect later on.

I qualify as a Occ. Health and Safety Specialist and have the needed experience and it is rated as required.

Any help as always greatly appreciated indeed...

That should get you started.

As it happens though there is nothing in the second letter that you really need. The most important thing is for you to keep an eye on the Visa bulletin ever 12/15th of the month and when your number is current you can organise your medical and call to find out your interview date.

Aslo I discovered a major cock-up with the DS-230 part 1 form, I didn't sign it and neither did my wife with hers, I have contacted the Kccdv and informed them about this so I await their reply, is this a biggy to worry about or can I send them a signed one from the copies I made, always something...

Thanks all...

A quick tip, take your time filling in the forms, there is no rush sending them back, triple check everything you write on them, better still fill them in on your computer and print them out, thats ok to do, its what I did and the forms are much clearer to read then as if they are handwritten:

I have seen this over and over and over, winners get into a panic and fill in the forms totally wrong. the DV does not even open till October so there is really no rush to send the forms back in. Not to worry, you can just resubmit any updated forms, its not a big deal. At least you made copies, which is something people always forget to do, make a photocopy of your copies and sign them and send them in, that should be fine. :-)
