Just made a little donation since your website was extremely helpful for my family and me to migrate to the US. Thank you for your unconditional willingness to help others!!!!!
Thanks again for the donation Reinaldo. Both parts came through.
What if I don't have any sponsor in the US AND I have a little money on my bank account (1k$-ish, I'm a collage student), is getting loan the only way to get approved and avoiding to become a public charge?
Very useful video.. are there any main changes for lottery 2022 about the financial issues?
hello there, Can a sponser be different from the one we mentioned in the DS-260?? Thanks.
Hey there, though you have some another sponsor name's in ds 260, you can always change the sponsor's name later on by unlocking the ds 260 or even change the sponsor's name while you have the visa interview, the officer will update the sponsor's name and address and will send ur ssn and green card to that address.
You can go any place ,needn't be the same address as that of Sponsor.
It' s safe to say that this gentleman right here is one of the fewest people on TH-cam who actually know what they are talking about. Thank you for your effort and energy. God bless you
I saw reply in every comments....Good old days.
Sir please tell me....if I need I-134 in interview for DV2022.
My sponser gave me other files but not I-134.....should I change sponser or not.
My interview is in January
Thank you on all informations. If I don't have enough money by CO standards, is I-134 with "strong" sponsor enough?
Thank you for the video. But I don't really get it why do you say that non liquid assets are not taken into account and for instance job offers are. Let's say I have an apartment in my country which I can either sell or rent out for $1000 a month (it's not big money, but those money can support a new-immigrant). It's the passive income a person can get and it doesn't depend on one's capacity to adapt in a new country. And the other thing. In the instructions you show for the DV lottery there are "personal assets" right before the I-134. How can they be not taken into account?
It seems like you did not watch the video very well. First - the I-134 lists a sponsors income and assets. As I explained in the video, listed asset values are taken at 20%.
Second about liquid assets. THere is a big difference between what you might do to generate an income, as opposed to an income you already have and can prove. You might win the lottery, and that might be your plan - but they can't take that plan into account.
Also, the interviews last a few minutes. Do you really think the CO will want to get into a discussion about your future plans, cost of maintaining the rented apartment and so on. Make it simple.
Hi Brit.
I have a question about filling out the form I-134, my sponsor is a friend, he is married and has a daughter, his tax return is in conjunction with his wife. In the annual income section is only the salary of my sponsor or his family group? Thank you
OK Maybe a dumb question, but as the husband for an 1-130, am I the "sponsor" on the I-134 form, or is can it be a third party (I am the husband and make about 24,000 per year, but we have a close friend who makes over 200K)
hi.. If I use the same photo that I have used in 2023, is it good to do it ? Lottery is based on photo, education and job experience.
Hello Simon, please I wish to be clarified if lottery winners still need to present Form I 134 during the visa interview.
You're just priceless Simon. I just watched this video and I'm glad I did. I'm a single mother of one child under the age of 10. Would 15,0000 dollars be enough as an alternative for I-134? I know this is a late message but I'm hoping this will get to you. Thanks.
my case is 2020af25
l didn't include social media account coz someone advised me not too..
should I unlock and just include or...
thank.you sir
You should unlock and be truthful.
@@BritSimon Can you, if you please, elaborate more on this?
I just did not know what you are speaking about.
JJ I Brits thanks for knowledge,I lost my original marriage certificate,in Kenya am told I can only apply for a certified copy,can I use a certified without an original of it ?
So if i got it right if i dont meet the money reqiuarments 10k$ i can have my best friends and me sign the i-134 and does he need to have 10k in his bank at tjat time he has a good paying job so he should be fine and he has no kids or wife. And if i win i wil be moving it with him wold that also help me? And i wil begin applying for jobs the day i get in. Trump also loves norway so i,am good for where i live

Thanks so much, stay bless
As always your videos're pretty informative!Thanks a bunch.
You're welcome!
If my employment status and education history change after submitting DS260, do I have to tell KCC to reopen my form or wait till the interview?
@BritSimonSays
Hi Brit, my wife is DV2022 selectee,I have 2 questions:
1- how to prove or show CO that we won't be subject to public charge, knosung I-134 are no longer needed in dv2022 instructions.
2- Making current occupation of my wife a housemaker is wrong, she has BSc deg.
How did it go?
Please what specific banks are eligible for the personal bank statement
I won the lottery 2021 but my concern is when to start the process. I am now unemployed so I think it would be better to send DS.260 after I am employed again?
what about public charge in DV-2022 can it be used 1-134?
Hello BritSimon, The Photos i entered were recieved, but they were not apeared as i have seen on your vidio. Is there a problem?
My potential sponsor would be my father but he is not listed on my birth certificate. What should I do in this case?
Hi brit, I would like to seek your advice. Our family have no idea what to do. We are DV winner for 2020 case no 2029as12xxx. Due to trump's recent proclamation 212f on Burma, our DV interview unsuccessful n refused. my mom in law is US citizen too. We did submit public charge questionnaire form with supportting bank statement, n assets. But in the end , rejected. Kindly advice what we should do?
Hi
Any idea why the November bulletin isn't up yet?
Great Simon. I'm Dhansing Gurung from Nepal.
Hi Brit, I'm from Nepal and our sponsor is not Nepali. He filled the form for us just after getting 2NL but recently he resigned. So my questions are 1. Could he be our sponsor whereas he is not nepali 2. Could it be okey if he is jobless till the interview date?
Finally, I understood this!! Thanks!!
Please answer my question. We are 4 in our family and now I have no money in my bank account but I have car costing 20000$. Do I need to sell it until interview in order to show money instead of liquid asset. I can also sell my parents house and add the money to my bank account. But I guess this process will take at least a month so the bank statement will not be for a period of 2-3 months. I dont know what to do please give me advice🥺🥺
Hi Brit, thanks so much for the video. It's very informative.
1. I'm dv2020 winner with CN- AS18xxx. Submitted ds260 in July. When do you think I will get 2NL?
2. My sponsor is coming to visit my country in December 2019. Is it alright if he brings all the documents & sign I-134 in December? ( Is it too early? Will it be an issue?)
Thanks
1. Wait and see.
2. Probably OK, but nearer the interview is better.
@@BritSimon can we bring a copy, i request my 7ncle to send me the document on email, is it going to be a problem?
Hello sir , ❣️🙏I am a university student. I fill dv lottery and ds 260 as a high school degrre holder. Now i am studying final year. So sould i provide that i 134 sponser.
Dear BritSimon:
The lady at USCIS live chat said that my sponsor can send hard copies to the Department and CO can easily access all information of the Form via his computer since she doesn’t want to send it by post mail to prevent package loss and information **hacked** via email due to sensitive info in I-134. Is it ok to bring a scanned I-134 with some ***blackened information*** including 1040/W2 and pay slips when I am at the interview?
Thanks in advance.
If you are having the interview outside of the USA, that is completely incorrect. The form should be presented by the applicant at the interview, and without redactions (blackened). I explain why in the video.
Dear Sir, I have submitted DS260 already with sponsor A, What should I do to change the sponsor from A to B?
All you did was give an address. THat is not a sponsor necessarily. So - you can present an I-134 from a second person. OR you can change the address at the interview.
What if I don't have a sponsor in the USA. How can l fill this 134 form. At what stage do you fill this form.
It seems like you did not watch the video. You could show savings if you have a lot.
What if I don't have a sponsor for I-134?
Does anyone know anything about the US embassy in Bulgaria, as in the likelihood of someone being asked to provide an affidavit of support or having to pass a public charge test there?
Assume they ask.
Hello brit, first thanks for this video, There is written in my country's US embassy page:
"Applicants who fall into any category below should bring these additional documents
For family based visa applicants:
The appropriate Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for each financial sponsor along with a photocopy of the sponsor’s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return, and any relevant W-2s.
Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card).
Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (such as photographs, letters, or emails)."
I'm alone - not family based applicant, so i do not need I-864(I-134) form, as it's written above? so if i do not need sponsor, does it means also that there is no need to show some sort of personal savings or job offer?
Dv cSes use an i134.
Please speak for administration processing (PA)
What exactly?
Hello Brit,
Am glad to join u today for the green card that as been a dream and this time I will av to enter the lottery
Best of luck.
Hello Simon, I did submit my dv lottery application a couple of days ago but I did not save or print out. I really want to see it again. Is there any way to look at again just to know how did I do? I received confirmation, my question is just to see whether or not I filled up as I thought.
Please did you manage to see your entry again?
My sister’s case is 2020Af54... is it safe to fill out the ds260 now?
Yes
Hi BritSimon is it still the case? I heard that this was removed or it is only removed for AOS??

Hi Simon,
I don't have any family in the US but friends who are students at the moment.
Also, being a single (never married) applicant, 25 year old, how much would you suggest I should have to prove that I won't be a public charge?
An I-134. You may need to find a friend of a friend.
Thanks britsmion
Hi Simon,
My dad has a bachelors degree but hasn't worked for the past 10+ years. He is not a public charge in my country. He's in good health and wants to move to the US and start a business. ( he's 55 ) do you think our family has a chance? Thank you so much
If he has substantial savings, yes.

I wanted to ask 2 things
1. If USA address changed, is it good not to unlock the ds and only bring the new address to the interview
2. Just in case of not being interviewed - is it officially allowed to attend to dv2021 on October 2019.
Thank you.
1. Interview is fine.
2. Yes
@BritSimon , Dear Mr. Simon, Sorry one more thing about second question,
Is it ok that the passport details in ds260 that has been sent, will be the same as in dv2021 October entry (as we know new DV2021 should be filled up including passport details).
Thank you dear Mr. Simon
Yes of course.

Hi my name is vera im from syria i tried the lottery at 2012 and this day im living in lebanon i have no idea for the result im separated and then divorced and i listen that i won it at 2014 my x didn't talk me about this i want 2 know if i still have the chance to have the green card or i lost it? Plz tell me something
You cannot process a "win" from 2014. You can re-enter the next lottery, but you have the same chance as anyone else.
I know how to check it but at that time there war the Syrian war and we left to lebanon and i was in a bad sichuation.....

Hi sir,
Thanks a lot for all of your efforts to clear up the hole process. May i ask you if a tipe one diabetic is considered a ''health issue''? Knowing that it has never being an obstacle between me doing my job perfectly nor doing any physical activity !
No problem.
@@BritSimon thanks for your response :) May i ask you sir about the health care system, because in my country they give insulin pens for free for thoes who have health assurance and are working of course? Is it the same case for the U.S and can i have an idea how this case is treated? I know it's a bit out of subject but it will mean the world to me if you provide me with an answer!
Over here, you pay for insurance. You will need that - especially with an existing medical condition.
Thanks a lot sir, your videos and responses are so helpful. thumbs up
If someone on a temporary visa in the US used services at planned parenthood is that considered public charge?
No
Why is visa bulletin for november not published?
I dont know.
I dont know.
Thank you, BritSimon. I came across this update after this video but I'm a bit confused here. What does it mean? Does it mean Visa applicants are not required to complete nor should they present the DS-5540, Public Charge Questionnaire? HELP HERE, I'M CONFUSED!
Update on Public Charge
Last Updated: August 7, 2020
On Wednesday, July 29, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York enjoined the Department of State from “enforcing, applying, implementing, or treating as effective” the Department’s October 2019 interim final rule and accompanying Foreign Affairs Manual guidance related to the public charge ground of visa ineligibility. The Department is complying with the court’s order and is in the process of updating its guidance to consular officers on how to proceed under the preliminary injunction. In the interim, visa applications that appear to be ineligible under INA 212(a)(4) will be refused for administrative processing to allow for consultation with the Department, including legal review to ensure compliance with applicable court orders. Visa applicants are not requested to take any additional steps at this time and should attend their visa interviews as scheduled. Applicants are not required to complete nor should they present the DS-5540, Public Charge Questionnaire.
Source: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/update-on-public-charge.html
Right now the "new" parts of the public charge concerns are blocked, but other parts remain. My best advice is have a DS5540 ready and an I-134.
Awesome! Thanks brit
