Dear All, thank you for your help and support.

I already got the visa for my whole family.

God Bless You All!

Thank you buddy2012 and Penguin_ie for answering my questions.

Personally I better got straight answer after interview rather like this.

This situation made me tired and screw up my upcoming plans.

Now I'll try to think positive like both of you say better AP then rejected.

I almost forgot, before the interview start in Administrative check process, I must fill again for DS-230 in front of admin counter for whole family. Is this something related with AP ?

I just doing my interview for DV with my family. Result of this interview, the officer return whole family passport and give me yellow letter with title

"Your application for a nonimmigrant visa has not been refused. At preesent, your application must be suspended under section 221g of the immigration and nationality Act, as amended (INA), for further review at the Departement of State or by another agency. Embassy xxxxxx will resume action on your application after we are informed that this review is completed. Please be advised, however, we do not control the pace or scope of this review.

• Administrative processing (They give this x on the checkbox)
  
• Waiver of inelegibility
  

When the process is complete, we will contact you with further instructions or to advise you that your visa is ready for pick-up.

AFTER you are informed that your visa is ready for pick-up, you may return to the Embassy on any weekday. You will need to bring this notice and the white ticket with your pick-up number in order to retrieve your passport.

First time I received this yellow letter, the officer told me if my visa not rejected yet, they need further review and contact me soon via email or phone. Because of that I don't look detail on this letter until I at home. Now I confused with some sentences :

1. I was apply for Diversity Visa which is immigrant visa but on that yellow letter there's words "Your application for a nonimmigrant visa". Is the officer give me wrong letter ?
   
2. What is section 221g ? I already look and read on travel.state.gov but still not understand. Can someone told me what this mean.
   
3. The officer return all family passport but in this letter say if the visa ready I need bring this letter and white ticket to retrive passport. Weird isn't it ?

Thx for your advice.

1. I will talk again to my wife about 3 years visa process if they came after me.

2. Let say I only pay 1 weeks for hotel and move to apartment, meanwhile my green card no yet mail. Can you tell me how and to who I update my address after I got my real place to stay ?

Dear souleymon & Penguin_ie,

Thank you for the enlightenments.

1. My wife concern about the weather adaptation for my baby. We think no problem to wait 2-3 years more for K1/K2 Visa.

2. Oke, I will do research for motels.

Hi All,

I have been selected as one of DV lottery 2012 winners.

Question :

1. My wife don't want to follow me soon to US because she not ready and want focus to take care my baby until age 5. My wife have no problem if I pass the interview and go alone without her and baby. Should I go alone for interview and pay for myself or bring whole family to embassy for interview and pay for 3 persons (me, my wife and baby)?

2. Is that mandatory to answer questions number 10 & 11 in I-230 Part 1 ? I never go to US and don't have closed friends or family to use their address.
