Thanks for the video Racheal. Just a few things to note, it's actually better to move with your family otherwise taking them later make be even more costly wiht the fillings and petitions that you have to do. Then also we are fortunate that medical examinations are now done in Uganda. Thank you.
Thank you for this information , I meant after doing the medicals, and all that stuff. So just traveling to the states, one spouse can come for starters make some money and before the visas expire have his or her family travel abit later because those air tickets can be quite expensive.
The Ugandan US embassy handles only non immigrant visas like visit,medical,student visas.Its the Kenyan US embassy handling immigrant visas (as in you're relocating to the US for good).
This is mainly for African people. But for us in South Asia we don't have issues with passport, embassy, translation, etc. We have all embassies here. We get passport in a day.
You talked about getting a small birth certificate representation Worth 5k .. aren't the US embassy in Nairobi strict about that notice..dont they want a real birth certificate? 🤔
I paid from Uganda but the payment dint go through. I would advice that you do it in the USA because every time you do it and it is not approved you pay an extra $30. So please pay when you move to the USA it is easier.
Hi Derrick, the photocopies in black and white are okay and even cheaper. You need around 4 passport photographs to show up with at the embassy for the interview. They will ask for them for your visa, then ask for 2 at the medical exam to put on your file.
Hi Rachel thank you so much for the knowledge you share with us.mkn my question is i tried to check for status or case number after i got the confirmation number.will I be disqualified?nsaba kunzilamu mkn
The case number comes after you have been selected. After application keep your confirmation number, you will use it when checking for the results and if you e been selected, then they provide you with a case number.
You didnt mention fees for the affidavit of support tht (negates being a public charge) .....where a resident sends you their info showing where you will stay until you gain self reliance......or it was taken care of by you from personal savings or disposable monies???
@@rachealagasha2323 bt how do you get to choose that host or get someone (permanent US citizen) to trust you to send you sensitive info about their lives (likes of ID,returns )
Thanks Agatha for wonderful info if one was born in upcountry with no birth certificate but passport information indicates you were born say bushenyi and your residing kla its a must to get it from bushenyi or you can get it any where where did you pay 5000 to get it😊 thanks
🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m terrible at Maths I could not add off head to save my life. I should have done the conversion as I edited but I figured my viewers will figure it out, they are smart people 🤣🤣. I will do better next time.
So after they schedule a date for your interview, they ask you for a dhl address of your choice where they can send your passport after approving your visa and putting it in your passport.
All you have to certify is the documents from university done feel the need to certify the high school certificates and the fee depends on the university you went to.
Hey Rachel... I wanted to know... How many times can I check for my status whether I have won or not???.... Do they upload the statuses various times or at once???.... Also... Why is it that some people win but don't get a visa?????... So when do you know it's all over and you are finally set to travel???.... When should you get comfortable because it seems Winning alone isn't a guarantee that you will make it to the USA
Hi Martha, so you check in May for the results and normally you go to the dv lottery website, they upload all the results at once. Some people don’t get the visa because they probably don’t have all the qualifications and this could be they dint do their A level, or failed the medical exam, or they lied about something, I made a video on some of the factors that will lead to disqualification. It’s all over after the interview at the embassy when they tell you your visa has been approved, they give you a green document to confirm and retain your passport then tell you to pick up from a dhl of your choice. That is when you get comfortable.
Finally the one I've been waiting for. Thanks Rach

Hey Agatha. Thank you for the video. My question is, we have a whole US embassy in Kampala. Does one really have to travel to Nairobi anymore?
So when the embassy schedules your interview it tells you the embassy to go to. I don’t know why they use the Nairobi one honestly
The Ugandan US embassy handles only non immigrant visas like visit,medical,student visas.Its the Kenyan US embassy handling immigrant visas (as in you're relocating to the US for good).
I just landed on yo channel. I also applied fo r dv lottery 2025. I have faith am gona win

Nope they are not strict like that, they want a birth certificate you give them one.

Hi Racheal,did you pay the greencard in UG or Kenya you said you paid in centinary bank?is there a branch in kenya?
I paid from Uganda but the payment dint go through. I would advice that you do it in the USA because every time you do it and it is not approved you pay an extra $30. So please pay when you move to the USA it is easier.
Thanks Agasha, really insightful, is the photocopy in color or black and white. What were the photographs for again
Hi Derrick, the photocopies in black and white are okay and even cheaper. You need around 4 passport photographs to show up with at the embassy for the interview. They will ask for them for your visa, then ask for 2 at the medical exam to put on your file.
Thanks allot for the information.
My pleasure!🤗
Thanks Agatha for the videos, how can i get a cheaper air ticket please
I will talk to someone and get back to you, do you think you can inbox me via instagram. @ Agasha Racheal.
If i dont have a host family ,what can i do to settle in ,if i have arrived
Unfortunately you are not given a visa without a host. So before you do the interview you need to have a host.
Hi Rachel thank you so much for the knowledge you share with us.mkn my question is i tried to check for status or case number after i got the confirmation number.will I be disqualified?nsaba kunzilamu mkn
The case number comes after you have been selected. After application keep your confirmation number, you will use it when checking for the results and if you e been selected, then they provide you with a case number.
Hey agasha plz take through on how to apply for letter of good contact or police clearance certificate in uganda plz thank you
You just go to the Uganda police website , and make an appointment online , you make a payment and that’s it. No technicalities really.
Keep it up
So what exactly do you have to pay for directly to the US authorities before going for the interviews?
You pay for the visa before doing the interview, it’s a non refundable fee.
@rachealagasha2323 How much do you pay?
@ it depends all this information would be in the instructions they send you after you’ve been selected
You didnt mention fees for the affidavit of support tht (negates being a public charge) .....where a resident sends you their info showing where you will stay until you gain self reliance......or it was taken care of by you from personal savings or disposable monies???
I personally didn’t use an affidavit, I got my host’s tax returns , Id and recommendation letter. Also think the affidavit is free though.

Yes you can get it from Kampala. NIRA does the job for you.
Hey am kindly requesting how long does it take to certify your uace results like how long does the process take
I did not certify mine but I believe it shouldn’t take long. I know you do it at UNeb though
@@rachealagasha2323 so if you did not certify yours what did you show at the interview…??
@@rachealagasha2323in a weeks tym u will have your stamp
Thanks Rachel
My question is,how do we fill that part of mailing address 1 and 2 on dv lottery form
Just put Kampala Uganda , or whatever district you’re in, their adress system is not like ours here
Hello Racheal.
What Academic Documents are verified from the Embassy.
Secondary or Tertiary Certificates??
All of them. They want all the originals for all levels , the transcript and the certificates
Hi Recheal ❤ what of if you included a child is it possible to leave that child behind?
Another question what if I fail to get the host ?
Yes you can choose to come by yourself for starters then pick the child later.
Unfortunately for you to even do the visa interview you must have a host.
Thank you Racheal for the reply my dear
So that means I can’t travel coz honestly I have no one to host me there in the USA 😢
@@milliebae7439 you can always find one
Good copy ❤
Thax.
Where is the visa being placed
In your passport, the embassy keeps your passport and sends it back after 5 business days.
Thanks babe,very informative
Thank you too for watching

🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m terrible at Maths I could not add off head to save my life. I should have done the conversion as I edited but I figured my viewers will figure it out, they are smart people 🤣🤣. I will do better next time.
Hello dear ,do we need to legalise all the documents .
Hi, so yes your University transcripts all need to be certified at your university. Then have the certificates from your high school.
Thanks
Hey @reacheal how did you get dat notice birth certificate and where did you got it from?
Hi from URSB
@@rachealagasha2323 10x dear🥰
Do they check every document you take to the interview
Yes they do and make copies, that is why you need to have all the originals.
Where did you get your birth certificate, i have a birth certificate but I got it from the district
That is okay too. Bottom line is it is a bother certificate , I got mine from NIRA
Hello dear after your results,how long did it take you to fill your DS2 60 form ,i mean which month did you fill it???
Hi there, you are supposed to fill the ds260 form immediately. This helps you get a nearer date for your interview.
Any winner to share the photo studio they used in kampala?
I used Dada it’s between Uganda house and aristoc, that street basically.
When will you be able to invite someone who want to come to the USA ?

@@rachealagasha2323 Yaa en thank you madam Racheal fi the programs...can't wait to apply for the DV this year 🙏
Hey Rachael... Did you have to certify any of your documents?
Yes I had to certify my university transcripts.
Hi Rachel, what about certifying other academic documents like S.6 and S. 4
@@bukirwaannet I did not certify those ones, I only certified my university certificates.
Thanks Agatha my passport age and academic documents age are different what can I do
You can swear an affidavit, you might need a lawyer for this. The affidavit will show that you are one the same person.
Did you have a host already?
Yes I did
So about the date on the dollat note you mean tge series year?
Yes that’s it.
May question is can u help me find a host a in america incase i dont know anybody in USA

300 ush to and from kenya??? Doesn't add up coz even in ksh its more than 1500 one trip
300,000ugx , it was a slip of tongue.
@@rachealagasha2323 hehe okay dear
If you are a family of 4 do you pay the $230 for the green card for each person or just for the main applicant
For every one because they all get their own green card. It is $220 you pay an extra $30 if your first payment doesn’t go through.
@@rachealagasha2323 okay thanks 😊
To pick your passport in Nairobi, you DHL address. I didn't get you there pls clarify
So after they schedule a date for your interview, they ask you for a dhl address of your choice where they can send your passport after approving your visa and putting it in your passport.
Was there last week paid the 160 dollars n they told me to go to village market and pay 30k ksh ...like wtf

How I wish medical was done in Uganda for Ugandans. It's too much on us!!
Yeah I hear you.
Surely , it could be better
It’s now done in Uganda
Did you use KLM?
Yes I used KLM but did not buy my ticket from them . It was way too expensive.
when you enter us after winning dv lottery, how fast can you start working?
As soon as you find a job
Do we need to show bank balance is there any requirement
Hi no I don’t think you do I dint have to show any of that
Does it expire
Yes, from the moment you are given the visa, you have 6 months until it expires
Is this money paid after winning the lottery or....
This is the money you spend on everything up until you travel to the USA
What of certifying the documents
All you have to certify is the documents from university done feel the need to certify the high school certificates and the fee depends on the university you went to.
When am selected do I travel back to Uganda?
Yes you can, you however can’t stay in Uganda for a year or more , you would have to come back before end of year.
U said it's like twelve million s
Yes ugx 12 million and more.
Can i pay green card at the embassy
No you can’t.
Phew! All along l thought it was free
I’m telling you, or if they would give ko you some ka money but waaa, you are entirely on your own.
You didn’t talk a bout Hosting . hhhuhhhh!? did you have a relative in the US!?
