Documents and Money backup question

[Lisbeth 3]

Good Morning Everyone.

As I got a really low case number I am assuming I will get an early interview appointment.

I've got my University degree translated into English but I wonder if I need to translate the High School degree as well?

Shall I present both degrees or the university degree is enough?

I also have a question regarding the money. I have checking information about the money you should show you have in your

account in order to demonstrate that you will no be a public charge for the United States. Currently I am living in London, and I am saving as much as possible (as this is a expensive city) If I reach 6.000 pounds for the moment of interview that would be 7,800 US dollars. Will be a denial reason if I do not reach 10,000 US dollars?

I am thinking is asking to my relatives to use my account for saving in order to show a better bank statements at the moment of interview. I got a better job almost 2 month ago so I am able to save more money now, before it was a little bit harder. But definitively I will move to USA with at least 12,000 USD if I get the GC. Someone could give me some guidance?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

S/he's posting in the Diversity Lottery forum and there is no timeline for us to fill in for this type of visa.

OP, with regards to your degrees, take everything you have. You may not be asked for everything but it's always preferable to have too much and not be asked for it, than to have too little and be put into Administrative Processing. The minimum is the high school qualification so make sure you have that (translated if needs be) and the university qualification. Don't overthink this. You have to prove you finished high school. You have a high school qualification proving this, therefore provide it. The university degree serves as evidence you won't become a public charge so take that along too.

With funds, large deposits from families look suspicious and, if they do look at your bank statement, they may want to know the source of the funds, whether you have to pay it back etc. It may be better to just go in with what you have and/or find a US sponsor (not legally binding) who is prepared to say they will support you from becoming a public charge.

Thanks Emily, I will take everything then.

I know people in the US but non of them are enough close to ask them to be my sponsors.

Is there any amount of money I should have in my account ?? my concern is, if I do not reach 10,000 US dollars as single applicant , Am I going to be rejected??

There is no single standard of accept or reject on public charge grounds for DV because it's so individual - depends on age, qualifications, savings, etc. If you don't have the money but have a degree in a field that will make finding a job easy, then you should be ok, especially if (as it sounds like) you are relatively young.

Hi Sussie,

Hopefully, I will find a job easily. I am an experienced Buyer/Demand planner with over 10 years of experience managing suppliers worldwide.

I am 38 (Female) Single. So I am not planning at all to be a public charge, in fact I look forward to find a better option than the one I already have in London.

Sorry to bother all of you with my profile details, but I really want to be sure about the money, as this is the only concern I have regarding the process.

Thanks for all your comments and help.

Regards,

Lisbeth

Unfortunately no one here can be "sure" about it as it is not a definitive answer but depends on how the interviewing officer judges it...all we can do is give (hopefully informed!) opinions on it.
