I think I saw a printout of some information from the DS-260, and there were pages on top having a lot of text I did not write. The reason I can't tell you more is that the CBP officer seemed quite uninterested in reading anything beyond the top page. | |

| Oct 6, 2016 at 13:20 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | @Crazydre Why does that matter? It is a communication between two US government departments that happens to be done by having a third party carry an envelope. In the unlikely event that she wins the lottery, there will be documents she needs to send to get the visa, and documents, in addition to the envelope, she should have with her on arrival. Those lists of documents are what matters. | |

| Oct 6, 2016 at 13:16 | comment | added | Crazydre | @brhans Once the sealed envelope is issued by the embassy, what is actually inside it? My understanding is that it's roughly the docs you've sent to the embassy earlier, but I'd like to know more exactly | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 13:11 | comment | added | brhans | still confused. Are you asking what you get from the embassy or what you send to the embassy. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 12:39 | comment | added | Crazydre | @brhans I know that, but the applicant has asked me to provide her as much info as possible, in case she does get selected. Also, I wonder if all the documents I listed, or anything besides those, will be in the envelope | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 12:33 | comment | added | brhans | I'm confused - you first ask about what the "envelope you get" contains, then you list a set of documents you give. Also - jumping the gun just a little ... the DV lottery you enter this year only happens next year and then there's a good chance you won't be selected ... | |
