Yes, but situation now is better. Everything has been open again, we are in Fase 2.
Offices reopened their doors from 04 May.
We are not in lockdown.
So I don’t understand why they don’t open their doors too.

The situation in Italy is still unstable I think, I know officials are just starting opening the country but I don't think the embassy is a top priority. Same here in Canada, even if the country is opening I don't expect the embassy will open soon.
I'm checking the website sometimes to see if there is any updates, have you checked the embassy website there in Italy?

They will schedule no matter what the EO does. If they interview you and the ban gets extended after June 23 for another 60 days we’re somewhere in August, the moment the ban is lifted they can approve everyone so I think there’s still a decent chance. Patience.

They just told me they aren't scheduling DV interviews, because of the ban.

Congratulations DV2020 selectees!

This Thread has been created specifically for you all to use in sharing the good news about your selection and to potentially ask questions about what your selection means, next steps, processing, etc.

Just so you know from the get go, this is going to be a bit of a long, (possibly bump for a few) ride. Don’t rush into submitting your DS260 form until you understand or have an idea of what you’re getting into.

Seat back, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride. Best of luck!

Cambodia has 120 recovery and 2 active covid-19 case. So there is no problem for open embassy and continue interview.

Oh yeah, I know! I’m happy for Cambodian people .
But I mean, most of Europeans countries now are better and they are in Fase 2 where public offices can reopen. So I thought that embassies would reopen too in this situation . We have a limited period of time and I hoped that they could reopen their doors too. However we will see what will happen .

We have a little time for reopen embassy as europe.. we need to be better than now. I think that it can reopen after a month. I hope so. And when embassy reopen we will continue our process.and later when the ban end up we will get our visa. Of course Unless the ban extend we will have enough time for interview.

Do you seriously not understand their concern? Italy has a number of deaths rate FAR higher than the USA when equalized for population (more than twice as many), and Italy was a sad "example" of how bad the pandemic could be. Why would the American embassy expose their staff whilst there is any concern about whether they can safely resume operations? It has nothing to do what what the Italian government say is safe - the American embassy are going to make a decision to protect their own people and not be reckless for the sake of visa interviews.

Likewise there are other countries where the governments are either not testing to determine the extent of their problem, or simply not admitting it. China is obviously in the latter camp. Russia officially has less than 1500 deaths, except there is obviously a greater problem than they are admitting, and literally 3 Russian doctors who tried to publicize the seriousness of the pandemic thereby "embarrassing" the government. Those doctors then coincidentally fell out of windows soon after blowing the whistle. That's how Russia is handling their honesty.

So - given that sort of stuff going on, surely you can understand why the American embassies would be somewhat cautious...

Hi all,

1. If I get married to my boyfriend after summiting the AOS package, do I need to resubmit the AOS package?
Since we think that late marriage could be suspicious for USCIS, my boyfriend will not file any AOS package.
2. When do I need to update If we get married after filing my application? Can I bring my marriage certificate when I get interview or I need to inform it since I from single to married.

1. No.
2. No. Take marriage certificate to your interview.

If you’re processing AOS, you should be posting on the 2020 AOS Only thread.
