hallo brit,am gitanga from kenya can i use the birth certificate of my baby to submit his form ds 260? The reason am asking is that our system in Kenya the passport takes time before it gets out. because i already submitted my form and that of my spouse, now status has changed. tnx wait to hear from you.
September 20, 2017 at 5:04 pm
For the baby, people often use the passport number of the parent to submit the DS260 before they have the child’s passport.

September 26, 2017 at 4:52 am
Have you followed the instructions from the reciprocty page??
“Police Records
Available. The Certificato Generale del Casellario Giudiziale is a certified national record of final court convictions and decisions regarding mental incompetency and bankruptcy or a statement that no such record exists (Nulla).The Certificato dei Carichi Pendenti is a certified record of pending criminal charges, or a statement that no such charges exist, from the office of the Procura della Repubblica in the applicant’s place of residence. Both certificates are required from immigrant visa applicants residing in Italy.
Persons within Italy can obtain the Casellario Giudiziale by applying in person or by mail at any office of the Procura della Repubblica. The Carichi Pendenti must be obtained at the Procura della Repubblica in the area that the applicant resides. Such offices are located in all major cities and in many small cities and large towns. Those who apply in person must submit a written request, a photocopy of a photo ID and all fees; the certificates are usually provided the day of the request.

hi Brit how can i register for interview
October 2, 2017 at 6:29 pm
KCC schedule your interview. Once scheduled, some embassies ask people to register with a courier – but the embassy provides instructions about that.
October 5, 2017 at 3:16 pm
Dear Brit what are the documents to be prepared for an interview. Would be more than glad to receive ur support as solicited.
October 5, 2017 at 11:25 pm
This article has all you need to know.

October 8, 2017 at 3:34 am
The embassy is chosen based on the current address. Since it is set now – attend the interview date as arranged.
October 13, 2017 at 3:53 pm
HELLO BRIT
please how would i get to know my dv lottery interview appointment date .when my case is current in the Visa bulletin?
October 13, 2017 at 4:18 pm
Check the FAQ for how to read the visa bulletin.
October 16, 2017 at 5:18 pm
hi Brit,
1 how many days will i wait after i took my interview to get visa for dv 2018?
2 for how many years is the visa validity?
October 16, 2017 at 5:34 pm
1. Normally 1 to 2 weeks
2. It is unclear what you mean. The status (LPR) is not time limited. The GC itself needs to be renewed every 10 years. The temporary visa must be used before the expiry date – which is 6 months after the date of the medical.

Good day Brit.am a DV winner 2018. Please my questions are:
1-My mom’s name on the DS-260 form was written as NANGE PRECILIA instead of PRECILIA NANGE as written in my birth certificate can that be a problem?
2-when filling the form I also put that am in the university 3rd year but has not yet gotten a degree bc the school year was not yet finish and now am in 4th year can I still take my transcripts to the interview to show that I now have a degree despite the fact that it contradicts what is in the form?
3-My medical results will only be ready after my interview bc I hard to do a further test and the results will take time b4 coming out, does that reduces my chances of getting the visa?
November 17, 2017 at 3:28 pm
1. No
2. Yes
3. Delay, just delay.

Hi Simon! I am entering/qualifying on my work experience rather than the education. My job matches the requirements on onetonline and I’ve got letters from my employers stating the information. My interview is in Jan, do you think there’s any other docs I’d need at this point? Have you heard of people successfully getting their GC from employment based entry only? Thanks so much.
December 4, 2017 at 2:44 pm
Yes I have known successful cases.
December 23, 2017 at 1:19 pm

Question I was in a marriage though not legal so I wrote unmarried because I don’t have legal papers is that ok
January 5, 2018 at 9:28 pm
If you were unmarried, then yes.
January 27, 2018 at 8:03 am
Hi britsimon, thanks for your effort making. Please I wanted to know can your primary or vocationally certificate qualify you for the interview? Thanks
January 27, 2018 at 3:21 pm
No.
January 30, 2018 at 12:34 am
Hi Britsimon, from what i can see the look of the page has changed from your video, is this correct or am i on a different page?
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/diversity-visa-program-entry/diversity-visa-if-you-are-selected.html
January 30, 2018 at 6:31 am
They changed the site recently – no problem.
January 30, 2018 at 1:13 pm
Hi Britsimon.
I am going for an interview on 6 March in Johannesburg. My police clearance certificate is expiring on 8 March. Must i get a new one.
January 30, 2018 at 2:27 pm
If you have time, get a new one, otherwise I think it would be acceptable.
February 8, 2018 at 3:15 am
Hi brit simons, I was trying to find the info on high school requirements the way you described in the video. I’m for the equivalent for Germany under the us embassy in Germany but can’t find anything. Am I bliiiind??? https://de.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/diversity-visa/
February 8, 2018 at 4:32 am
It’s possibly not listed. It would be the point (usually at 18 years old) where you gain the education needed to enter University.
March 1, 2018 at 3:32 am
Hello Brit.I’m Atta, a dv winner.I will go for my interview on the 5th march 2018.When I was filling the ds form, I only used my senior high schoool certificate in Ghana since that was the only certificate I had.Eventhough I was at that time schooling in a nursing institution with that certificate.But I thought because I have not completed yet there was no need to add that.1.please can I take a transcript and a letter of attestation from the nursing institution to the embassy during my interview since I’m in the final year.2.should I give the trascript and the attestation plus the documents I submitted earlier to them if I’m asked of my documents or shouldn’t add the attestation and the transcript. 3.if I add the attestation and the transcript if I’m not asked to do so will that affect me.
March 1, 2018 at 4:32 am
1. Yes
2 & 3. I don’t know what is “normal” in your country.
March 1, 2018 at 6:58 am
Contact me on whatsapp on +233279835780. I am also a winner. I can guide. Contact me from 1pm Ghana time going

Hey BritSimon.
Wanted to get your thoughts on something… My husband has ordered police certificates from three different countries. The UK and Canada ones will be here on time but we’re worried about his Irish one. Due to the crazy weather they’ve had recently, the mail is seriously backlogged. We ordered our police certificates even before we had a 2NL but clearly that wasn’t early enough with all the snow.
The question is – what do we do if it doesn’t arrive in time? We have 3.5 weeks still but are not sure what we should do if it doesn’t come. Do we need to reschedule our interview?
Thanks for any insight.
March 10, 2018 at 4:43 am
No – attend the interview as scheduled and follow up with the police cert when it arrives.
March 16, 2018 at 1:15 am
Yikes… Brit I’m on every page..I’m sorry. But about the affidavit of support, it’s not an exactly required document but important to have. How do I get it?
March 16, 2018 at 2:42 am
It varies by embassy and by case.
April 5, 2018 at 9:09 am
Hi Brit, I wrote yesterday but unfortunately i selected my email address to receive notification instead of this platform.
My question is, if a lady travel with her husband bearing his name and give birth and do a DNA test and notice the child is not his, can the man filed immediately divorce?
April 5, 2018 at 5:01 pm
I am not a divorce lawyer.
April 15, 2018 at 6:31 am
Hi Brit sir greetings.can we know the result of interview on that day?I mean wether visa approved or refused. Please let me know sir
April 15, 2018 at 2:05 pm
They tell you an outcome – but you have to wait until you have the visa in your hand – usually a week or two later.
April 20, 2018 at 4:14 pm
Hi Brit, im 2018 dv winner, i just got 2NL for June’s interview, my problems are almost all my documents are copy of legalized document, cause i lost the original long time ago. Is it gonna be a problem to accept my case?
For example; high school certificate ,they only published once, so if i lost it i got the duplicate only with legal stamp.
April 20, 2018 at 4:18 pm
I can’t really answer that – it depends on procedures in your country, the embassy procedures, the CO and so on.
