DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Let me ask you a question.

I have already submitted the DS260 and have submitted Further documents.

What should I do if I change my job and address before the interview?

Do I need to resubmit my DS260?

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

So you mean, Should I mention that in the interview? Do I need to prove it with documents in the interview?

Just mention the update. No you don’t need proof, you weren’t asked for any other proof of jobs rights?

Please help . Thanks a lot .
 
I submitted all required documents to KCC except one of the many police clearance certificates required from the countries I have been to in the last 5 years.
I have acknowledgment of receipt of application for this specific police clearance since last October but haven't heard any feedback from the Embassy regarding my application status. I'm outside the country and can't go in person to check or ask.

So after submitting all docs required, I sent a letter in PDF format to KCC explaining the whole situation. I backed that up with the actual acknowledgement of receipt and attached that into the email as well.

Do you think they could sort of "waive" that specific police clearance from that specific country since I already submitted 2 police certificates from other counties I have been in?

I know that no interviews could be scheduled until ALL document requirements have been satisfied.

Any similar situation?

That's an interesting position to be in. You can certainly show best effort, and if the documents are never provided by the other side, you are sort of stuck. KCC is purely admin. If you get an interview you can explain this to the case officer who can suggest further actions before he issues the visa, or reject it I guess. The latter would be rather cruel if you ask me. Keep us all posted.

Which country never replied btw?

Forgive my ignorance, but hasn't 30 Sept 2020 been and gone, and pretty much nothing can be done about that? The train has left the station. Only DV2021 is being worked on now.
Happy to be corrected

All dv2020 are waiting the last rule from judge Mehta.
He reserved temporarily 9095 visas (this number could increase or decreased)

And as per lawyers in twitter
Also he could order a relief To them, am not sure about this but everyone is waiting until April now for the final judgment

I have
I am Hong Kong citizen and currently live in Taiwan. It is necessary to submit both Hong Kong and Taiwan police certificate.
When you apply Hong Kong police certificate, you would not obtain the certificate. Instead you will have the receipt only (same as yours)
I send supported documents including receipt to KCC 1 month ago and still no response (my CN: AS8XXX)
Then I send email to consulate in Hong Kong that they have received my police cert or not. Here is the response:

The U.S. Consulate and the Hong Kong Police Force have an agreement whereby Hong Kong Police Force will forward the police certificates of immigrant visa applicants directly to the immigrant visa unit (IV Unit) of the U.S. Consulate (address: Immigrant Visa Unit, U.S. Consulate General, 26 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong) and not to the applicant. The IV Unit retains the police certificates. It is not necessary to confirm the receipt of your Hong Kong police certificate with the Consulate.
We have an agreement with Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) that we do not send the police certificate to them. As soon as the administrative processing is complete, KCC will forward visa applicants’ visa files to Hong Kong. Therefore, you are not required to provide your Hong Kong police certificate to KCC.

Well, I don't know how can I provide my Hong Kong police certificate when having interview in Taiwan. Let's see and wait.
 
Arguing here isn’t going to change what they do when, and if DV2020 is waiting for a judgement in April before anything can be done there then it makes sense that they start on DV21 in the meanwhile. You guys also need to remember that there are literally hundreds of thousands of backlogged family visas and while one hopes they will give some priority to DV because of the sunset clause, they cannot just ignore everyone else.

Will the HK consulate not provide it to the Taiwan consulate? I would suggest emailing the IV unit at both consulates, same email, inquiring about this

Well, I guess HK consulate would provide, right? Similar situation should be happened so many times
Agree. I will contact IV units of both consulates after receiving 2NL. Right now confirmation email of supporting doc from KCC is most important

I think you will be fine since both parties have agreement to forward the certificates internally. But I understand your point, you need to at least know if the certificate was forwarded or not. I hope the process will go swiftly. Let us know if you get any news :)
