The Engineer

i think the system will analyse the metatag and see that the picture isn't the required dpi so it can't give a clear facial analyses, and may be rejected, but i'm not sure about it, and no one know here if the system really check the metatag and the dpp and dpi, maybe it only check the measurement ( 600*600) as i saw someone saying that someone won using a picture of a Dog (no facial analyses = no dpi need), basing on that, you shouldn't worry, maybe it gonna pass the test.

I think you mean DV 2016 right ?

DV 2016 winner - i have a problem with DS-260 application , the problem is that i don't have a US Address 'cause i don't know anyone there .. any suggestions?

I may suggest you to put an hotel address and try to find someone, a friend, or a friend of a friend living in us, so you may change the address once you go to the interview, best of luck

Wait until someone give a better solution, someone more experienced than me,

I'm So sorry Upkilo for your sad experience, but stay strong please. when you think about your document and you had everything in order, they don't have any reason to refuse it, you even was told you're approved, stay patient and optimist and you gonna get your passport with the visa godwilling, i think by the end of this month, there will be some ppl who was refused ther visa for august cut off, and there will be new visa numbers available and you gonna get your, it won't take longer , and try to call the consulate two times at least per week, and two emails per week, to show your concern, i'm sure they will try to resolve your case, SO BE STRONG, BE OPTIMISTIC,

i opened an account in the given website and did all the steps and got my transaction confirmation number that and they gave me a paper to print and take with me to the interview and give it to them to pick up later my passport, i didn't know i should do it before the interview.

Thank you for everything Mr @upkilo, god will see the help you gave to me and will help you too.

first I want to let you know that its a Consulate in Casablanca, the embassy it's in the capital Rabat.

- passport (they demand it + the photo + High school certificate in the front window of the consulate)

- High school certificate (it's mandatory they won't let you walk to the consulate if you don't have it) + translation

- Birth Certificate (Green) + translation

- Court and Prison Records (you can demand it online and pick it up from your choosing court) + translation

- Police Records + translation

- Marriage certificates (for me, I'm single I provided Celibacy certificate) + translation

- 1 photo 5*5 cm

- second letter

- DS-260 Registration Application Confirmation (they don't ask for it, but take it with you in case)

- Medical exam (there is only two certified doctors near the consulate, I suggest you go to Dr. Abdelouahed Ambari he is a nice man) the cost is 1600DH, take your passport with you and the second letter + 7 regular photos + photocopy of the passport.

* for the translation you have to chose one of the list provided by the consulate, all the information is provided in the embassy website DV section, and they all located near the consulate, the price is between 100DH and 120DH for each document, in my case I agree with the translator for 100DH (the waiting time is 1 or 2 days)

-at the day of the interview you have to pay $330 about 3200DH

Thank you Bro, i didn't knew this difference between the one in rabat. and the other one in casablanca,

And thank you about the papers, i took notice of them,

and i found one on the list and located in kenitra a few weeks ago and did translated some papers i will need them for other stuff and maybe the interview too. it costed me 130Dh for each. the waiting time was 5days,

and the visa fee i saw they said i must consider 1$=10dh, so 3300dh, but thank you so much, you help me to confirm that i'm on the right way

and i saw somewhere that after you left the consulate, you must go to website and chose where do you want to pick up your passport, did you did this step, ? maybe you should to when you visa statu turn to Issued, you will receive it right after it, and sorry if i don;t say much, i don't know how to really help. but thank you for helping me instead .

Does Dr Ambari cost more or less than Dr Nezha el fehri ? and should i call to schedule an appointment or just take my papers and go ?

i live in kenitra by the way.

This is 2015

you were selected for visa for 2016?

your visa must be issued before the 30th of September for the year you were chosen

that would be next year

Yes Adil & Jeanne, i'm selected for DV2016 and i think my interview will be by Novembre God Willing,

but upkilo was selected for DV2015 , wish the best for all of us, and wish his visa will be issued before the 30th of september

The interview went smoothly for me, first she ask me (I interviewed by a female agent) if I do drugs, answer No, and asked about my education what I did after I get High school degree and what I study in the university, and asked if I have family and friends in USA, and the person I put his address in ds-260 and how he went to USA and what is his work, and where are you going in USA (the state / city).

that's what I recall (I passed the interview in may), it went quickly.

in the end she told me your case is approved, and she congratulate me for winning the DV, and wished me good luck in my journey to USA, and told me to come buck after 6 days to pick up my visa, but when I went to pick it up, they told me we will call you that's it no other words, and here I'm still waiting it's over than 3 months now,

I send several email and called the embassy phone same answer wait we will call you if your visa is available.

PS: my case changed to READY on June 9, and stayed that way but the date changed several time, the last time two days ago (Aug 25) but remain READY but they told me I'm still in AP, I don't understand if I'm in AP why my case showed as READY (from the day if the interview and June 8 my case was "Administrative Processing")

this my sad story, and I hope nobody face the same pain I did.

Thanks god the interview went so smoothly and i'm really sorry for what happened, but stay strong, i believe they will issue it very soon, maybe they're just waiting for a visa to be available for you, if it's ready, it mean as i think you case is ready, and need only an available visa to print it and give you back your passport

thank you for the story, i hope it won't happen to me, even if i have doubts about a paper maybe i will ask for another one, because i lived in another country from 18yrs to 24yrs so i took my police certificate and come back to Morocco, but i just noticed lately that the certificate only have my name, birthday and place of birth, and does not contain my ID number, so i'm not sure if it gonna make a problem, so i start thinking about asking one of my friends abroad to go take another one for me and ask to put my ID number, and the send it to me before i receive my 2NL.

can you please tell me what papers did you took with you to the embassy ? how was it there ? and the cost of medicals ? and translation ? please .

I'm so sorry to hear that bro, what was the main problem that puted you on AP, can you tell me please how was the interview ? what question did they asked you ? do they said visa approved or they need time to review you case again ?

Sorry again, i only wait for the 2NL and it's stressful, but you should stay optimist, you gonna get it godwilling, try to contact the embassy and ask about your case, maybe this gonna update your case somehow ,

It's been two months since I started learning about DV 2016 but i'm not seeing or hearing any communications from persons in the above country ( MOROCCO ).
Please let's use this thread for 2016 Moroccan DV winners. . Let's meet here, encourage and exchange helpful informations.
Thank You

Thank you Alex for keeping us updated, and I wish you the best of luck, stay optimist, you gonna receive your Visa.

She don't have to worry at all, she may say that she have a couple of things to deal with before moving permanently to the USA and it only gonna take 2 weeks and she already have a round trip, and it gonna be fine as i saw from other experiences out here about the same topic, i hope there will be better experts to give an answer better than mine, Good Luck.

Yes it will be okey, she only don't have the right to stay more than 6 months outside the USA, so for 2 weeks it gonna be fine.

Safe trip.

Thank you Very much Susie, i'm totally realized now, i hope even taught they process my forms before the cutoff, thank you again.

Hello people, i have a question please, i'm selected for the DV2016, i have a low case number, AF9XXX and i sent my DS260 about a month ago, i wonder how many weeks does it take to KCC to process the forms received, and if it's about 3 months, and if they start the cut before processing my forms, will i receive an interview appointment once they process my forms, ?

i mean if they cut for 10 000 by October for example, and they still didn't processed my forms for a case number of AF9539 for example, and the November its 13 000 and they just finished processing my forms, will they schedule an appointment for me ? or if my forms aren't processed before the cut off, i loose my chance ?

thank you very much

Hiii Back Susie, I just noticed that my answer about your last comment never arrived, probably because of my weak network, for which i present my apologies,

I'm just thanking you again and telling you that i did what you said, rereaded every single document related to the DV Lottery, and i'm now just waiting for the KCC to schedule my Interview. Thank you again Susie for helping me and helping everyone in this Forum.

Thank you again Susie, really.

So i won't send anything and any documents to the KCC for the moment, and i only have to wait for couple of weeks until KCC send me an email saying that my interview is scheduled ? sorry for repetition , just trying to make sure i understand every thing.

Thank you Susie you are the best, unfortunately i already submitted my DS260 a couple of hours before seeing your answer, i finally got a address of a friend of my family living in USA, and about studies, i putted unemployed but i said that my highest degree is university degree ( engineer ) and subscribed 2 institutions, one for university and the second one for high school diploma, did i did it right ?

and thank you about prices, it gave me a clear idea so i may be prepared,

Finally, after submitting the DS260 and getting the confirmation number that i saved and printed too, what is the next step please ? should i just wait from 4 to 8 weeks ?

Thank you very much in advance Susie for giving your time to read and answer.

I found that ASO is Adjustment of statu , so done with one question

Hello good morning everyone,

Fistly i'm new here in this forum and i would like to thank admins for accepting me, secondly i would like to thank Susie for being kind and so quick to answer my pm and for all the help she gave throught the forum as i almost saw all the posts and comments here about DV LOTTERY in order to not ask questions asked before.

I just figured out yesterday that i was selected for the DV 2016 and like almost of you, i was chocked and couldn't beleive my eyes lol

BUT i still have some questions and hope to get some answers:

Q1 ) my case number is like 2016AF00009XXX and i'm from morocco localized in Africa, does my number figure with first people who will be scheduled for an interview ?

Q2 ) if i'm in the middle and not with the first ones who will be called, do i still have to fill quickly the DS260 ? it's already done i still have only one case to fill, the one about where would you like to receive your Green Card in USA, and i don't know anyone in USA so i'm confused about what to put there, and by the moment trying to find a friend or member of family that can help me about it.

Q3 ) if i don't find any member who could provide me with a valid adresse, what should i do ? it's the only step remain for me in order to finish the DS and send it,

Q4 ) i just graduate for an Engineer degree this june 15th, 2015, do i have to put in studies and work section that i'm unemployeed and fil in studies section that i studied for my degree between january 2010 and june 2015 ? and what are my chances with this degree ?

Q5 ) what it the total amount of money i will need to pay all fees related to this procedure from submitting the DS260 to having the visa issued and the fee of the Green card once i make it to the airport entry if all goes well ?

Q6 ) i used to see in many post the word ASO , what is it please ?

That's all for the moment, thank you in advance and i'm sorry for all that amount of questions, i hope to get some answers and feedback, my appologies about my english if i wrote some mistakes and i'm pretty sure i did lol,

Thank you very much

waiting for you guys,

Ayoub
