DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

[God-Is-Love]

I’ve been trying to log in and fill the DS-260 form but i receive an error that the information entered does not match to the records.
Later on i figured out that in the initial form i have put wrong Month of birth (I had put JUL instead of AUG).
Is there any way how to correct it?
Any problem in case I go on filling the DS-260 form by putting JUL instead of AUG just to sign into the form, and then fill accordingly the form with my exact birth information?

Thank you

It's good you are able to open your account. Which month have you used on your documents? (like birth certificate, passport and educational documents)
If august, fill the DS260 form with your right month of birth, which I think is august. And.... prepare yourself to present logical reason how you put July instead of august if th CO asks on interview time. Good luck

All my documents have AUG, and of course this is the month i used for filling up DS-260.
This is a human mistake done during the initial entry.
The question now is if there is any way how to correct it, because having it in this way neither KCC is contributing on help needed, as there is no match to their records. In case i ask them for smth they reply:
"The information you have provided does not match the case. Please resubmit your request with the correct information for KCC to properly assist you."

As a matter of fact, no one can change the data you put on your original eDV application. Even KCC can't change it.
Only the CO will decide if it is genuine mistake or not. That is why you need to present logical explanation how you made the mistake.

There's no way to change the information submitted on the eDV application. You should continue your processing by using your correct birth month, i.e. August.

When you show up for your interview and the discrepancy is brought up, you can explain it as something like you mistakenly selected July in place of August from the drop down menu when filing your form. July is directly on top of August, when it comes to drop down menu selections, I can see how easy it is for a selection to be replaced by something else with a mouse scroll while the selected item is still highlighted.

....and hope the CO sees it that way too, rather than questioning why the applicant did not take advantage of the final check the system allows you to do before submitting ...

Yeah a careless, and possibly costly, mistake. Which one of us hasn't been guilty of making a careless mistake before?

 

[gitma]

How is the dv 2015 trend compared to dv 2014 so far, Somebody please shed some light or is it too early to compare the 2.

 

[SusieQQQ]

All of us have, of course. The problem as we know is that when it comes to DV such mistakes can also be indicators of attempted fraud... and that perception can lead to denial. As f-lan stated, it appears a simple 'did not follow the rules' is reason enough for denial now

No because your 2NL won't come until A) your number is lower than the number on the visa bulletin & B) your DS260 has completed processing.

Your number is not yet current.

Hey everyone, Mom, Britsimon, Susie, and all..... let me first congratulate you for the amazing advice and great job you're doing here.... the blog is wonderful and unbelievably helpful....
Anyways, I just wanted to ask you guys a couple of things.. My CN is AS104** ..... it is a relatively high number, so I was wondering:
1. Do I stand a chance?
2. When might my interview be?
3. Regarding the translated docs ( birth certificate, police records, diplomas, etc), should they be notarized after being translated?
4. As for police records: Well, I have left my country 2 years ago and there is a horrible war going over there... Thus, I had a great difficulty getting a police record from over there, but I was able to get it last September. my qs is: will the embassy accept it even though it is dated September (i.e. it will be over 6 months old)?
Thank you guys in advance ...

i did ask my mum she said out of all my siblings am the only one who didn't get it.Plus it might come latter in life.
But she said its not a must for one to get it.
plus it is a requirement in kenya to be vaccinated for it when you were small.
