DV Lottery Reality Check Hosting, Work, and Life in the U S

Every year, millions of people apply for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery hoping for a better life in the United States.
But very few conversations focus on what happens after someone arrives.

In this video, I sit down with Doug, a U.S. resident who—together with his family—hosted a Diversity Visa Lottery winner. Not as an organization. Not as sponsors. But as ordinary people helping a family transition into life in America.

This conversation is not about promises or guarantees.
It’s about reality.

We discuss:

What hosting really means—and what it does not

The difference between hosting and sponsorship

Cultural adjustment and daily life challenges

Finding work, housing, and becoming independent

The real cost of living in the United States

Why preparation and personal responsibility matter

Common myths about life in America after winning the DV Lottery

How Kenyan communities in the U.S. support new arrivals

Whether skills and careers from Kenya transfer to the U.S.

Winning the DV Lottery opens a door—but success after arrival depends on mindset, effort, and preparation.

If you are:

Applying for the DV Lottery

A DV Lottery winner preparing to travel

A family considering hosting a DV winner

Or someone seeking honest immigration insight

This conversation will help you understand what to expect—and how to prepare responsibly.
