Hi, any idea whats the secret of winning DV Lottery?
I have been applying this since 2002 and have never got one.

Iam from Indonesia

select500:

There is no secret to winning. The winners are all chosen at random with the use of computer software. So just keep trying and pray that you win!

You do realise that the DV lottery is closed to Nigerians.

A reminder that this world is vanity. I wished we were immortals. Just like everyone that won the dv, josemaria never knew the 24th of July 2014 was the last day he saw he's parents, neither was he aware that he was never going to return to his father land... we got to America the same day last year, and we've been in touch since then, but then life happened and everyone grew farther apart. I found out yesterday that josemaria had passed on.....the pictures are on his timeline on Facebook. The most painful part of it is that, he died sometimes around December last year and nobody knew. I hope you are in a better place now, somewhere far beautiful and better than chicago. RIP pal. I pray that the rest of us won't lose our life in this struggle. Amen

@ewhoma,I am not here to join issues with anyone after all myself and my family members already have our visas. I am a DV-2013 selectee and has since collected our visas. I am only here to share ideas based on official documents (US Govt Websites) that i read during my own time. I will be posting links to these write ups to help us understand the entire process better.

However, for knowledge sake, it is better we understand how some of these things work. As i stated earlier, National Population Commission (NPC) is a federal government body responsible for the registration of births and deaths in Nigeria - the reason why it exists in the 36 states of the federation. Unfortunately, the body does not have a national database where births and deaths are stored and that is why they rely on sworn affidavit from a competent court of law to issue the attestations. An affidavit is actually sufficient in some cases but the US prefers that we obtain the attestations. NPC will not issue any attestation without an affidavit or declaration of age from a court since they do not have records of birth prior to 1992 when the body was instituted. You can imagine advising someone to travel from Lagos to Adamawa for instance just to obtain an attestation letter that is based on an affidavit already issued by a law court. By all means if you happen to still be around where you were born , go ahead and obtain the attestation there else get it from your current base as this will not harm your application in any way. Please note that you will never be denied a visa for incomplete documentation. At the very worst, the CO will keep your visa till you return with the missing document. You will only be expressly disqualified if you have not complied fully with the DV instructions. No one knows it all and that is the essence of a forum so that people can share ideas.

@all, whatever that is shared on the forum is not final and i will always urge members to carry out their own independent investigations of an idea or experience before adopting same.

I rest my case.

Good Luck all.
