DV 2019 All Selectees

Can you tell me if AF39XXX (Algeria) going to be too high for DV 2019

It is too early to know for sure, but the DV2018 cutoff was 39500 - and that will probably NOT fill the quota. However, as DV2018 has shown (like some years before), things don't always go according to mathematical capabilities.

Thank you fof such a speedy response! Appreciate your time!
I noticed you just put the numbers out for 2019 - Aftica was 38,247. Does that mean the AF39,000 (Algeria), has missed out?
 
I already previously suggested you get a new one issued if you can. But if an endorsement is all you can do it’s better than nothing. Remember you are interviewing in a high fraud/high refusal rate embassy and the less problems with your documents, the better.
If you can get a new certificate through the link I gave you (which you should already have found on your own by the way, the link is in one of the pages linked from your selection letter) but you decide not to, then the CO may refuse to accept what you present. If you try but can’t you can at least show you tried.


This is an interesting discussion, I face the same issue and I am really interesting in knowing how you dealt with this @Aisha Armed. Could you please share here as am also in Ghana. Thank you.
 
Hello everyone,
First thing I apologize for my bad English.
So I'm new here, i have a situation and i can use some help.
I was selected to the 2019 DV Lottery but I made a mistake when I submitted my application.
There is my mistake, i wrote my birthdate wrong because as a french speaker i am used to do it in following format dd/mm/yyyy when i should have wrote it in this format : mm/dd/yyyy
I already submitted my form DS260 with my correct birthdate and I know that only an Ambassador could tell me if i will be able to be ussued a visa but maybe someone has been in this situation and i would like to know if he was disqualified or not.
I'm looking forward to reading your responses and I thank you in advance for your time.
Djeff

Your post was moved from the AOS 2019 Thread.

Regarding your question, the CO like you rightly noted is the only one that can decide if you’ll be approved or not. All you can do for now is to submit the DS260 form with the correct date which you’ve done.
 
Hello,
My case number is AF9XXX , when do you think will I be scheduled for an interview ?
Thank you in advance for your responses
 
Hello,
Between Algiers and Paris, which consulate is better for the visa interview? Does the location has any impact on when the interview will be scheduled?
Thank you in advance

Thank you in advance

You are scheduled in the country you live in. Where do you reside?
The location may impact by a week or two if one consulate is very busy and the other isn’t, but it will be the same month for a particular case number. The merits of the case will be judged equally no matter where you interview.

Thank you, I am from Algeria but I live in Paris as a foreign student.
 
Hi. Thank you for this forum. It's very helpful. I am a Kenya selectee. I am married but its what we call a "come we stay " marriage. I am currently in the process of formalizing my marriage. In the DS260 form, do I write the date when we started living together as husband and wife or should I write the one on the marriage certificate that we'll be given? Thanks
 
Hello,

I am a Student currently studying in USA under F1 and my spouse is under F2. I have been selected for DV-2019 with a high case number 2019AS128XX so I am thinking of going for CP to increase my chances. I have the following questions .
1. Do I need to show the police clearance for me and my spouse for the duration we live in USA ?
2. Can I take my Medical Examination in USA and use that for CP in my county ?
3. I want to minimize my duration of stay in my country, since I have to come back soon and continue my studies, so any advice for that ?

Thanks

1. No, PCC from the US is not required. The background check that will be conducted will take care of that.

2. No. Medical must be done with the CS attached to the the applicable US embassy.

I can’t give you a “best, average and worse case duration” since you haven’t even provided any useful information about your case, like where you’re chargeable to or your background. And I already asked you to check the AOS process spreadsheet for the pros and cons of AOS vs CP - it contains information about worse case scenario for someone current based in the US going out to process CP, and I believe I also provided this information in a previous response on the AOS thread.

Yes I went through the spreadsheet, It has the details about after interview. I am from Sri Lanka and 3rd year Graduate student(PhD) under F1 Visa(have visa for next 2 years, until 2021). The questions I have related to the stay period are
1. Police clearance - Even though I don't need police clearance for the period of stay in USA I need it from my county for until 2016, Can I provide a police clearance which is around one year old(If I get the interview around next year August) since I can take this during my visit this year. If not I have to come to my county earlier to get it.
2. As I have provided my details Do you see any other possibilities which can delay my return to USA ? if so please let me know so I can arrange those earlier.
