DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

SusieQQQ said:
can you point to a post that says you have to also be residing in a country if you are already a citizen of it? I’m not aware of any such. Only aware of that being stated for people who want to either move to a new country on some kind of work or other visa or more commonly want to go there on tourist status to consulate shop.

Hi guys, what is the procedure of transferring your DV case from one embassy to another?
For example if case has DS-260 submitted, scans requested, sent but not verified yet, case is Current, target embassy is too slow to expect to get to your case ( 20k ).
What if try to transfer case to some 'better' embassy?

You can’t simply request an embassy switch on the basis of one being “better” than the one responsible for your case. If you have a legitimate claim such as residing or having moved to a different country which a different embassy has jurisdiction over, you email KCC to unlock your DS260 form and update the new address, then following up by asking KCC to change your embassy based on the new address.

Dear Susie do you believe selection is not that much random too? what do you think about it?
Would you explain more about 2012? because my family and I did registered in 2012 lottery and recently when i was searching for KCC mails in my email inbox i found an email in 2012 from KCC which said to check results again... I never checked it again, If we were selected that year is there any bad impact on our 2021 selection?

Where ever did I say selection is not random? Of course it’s random. That’s why they had to redo dv2012, because a computer glitch meant the first draw was not random.

By the way random also means being selected (or not selected) in a previous year has no impact on future selections.

First, that is mom, not Simon.
second, being a citizen is a “legitimate claim”.
anyway, you do you, i’m tired of arguing this point. As far as I am concerned it is totally clear.

I have taken your advice, worst case scenario KCC will tell me no. I have just asked to open my ds260 to change address/consulate. If this will be successful I will make sure to get your address and sending you flowers. Thanks a lot!
 
Hello everyone.IJust checked our NRB Nairobi's us embassy and noted that out of a total of Nine cases interviewed today no one was issued visa.. Quite shocking

Those who had successful interview, what was your case status before it changed to Issued?

That's why I asked above question actually.

In 2020, even after successful interview, cases were going to status Refused, before visa was stamped in passport. I wonder if it's the same this year.

May be but I doubt whether it is the case this year, especially in NRB Being the first day of dv 2021 interviews, the refusal Rate then is too high...Any way waiting to here from those who were interviewed.

Stop panicking and spreading misinformation. There are 8 cases showing Refused for NRB. 7 of them are undergoing administrative processing and only 1 is an actual Refusal.

Thanks for clarification. I was just interpreting what i see.They have clearly listed (1)A.P. and( 8) refusals
 
Question: if you are asking to be interviewed at your homeland country (primary selectee has citizenship), do the children must have citizenship in the country of interview or can they hold a different citizenship than their parents?

You can't change consulate through the DS-260 after submitting it, even if unlocked. You have to first request permission from the embassy and then let KCC know and ask that they'll schedule you there.

Wouldn't it just be easier if you contacted the embassy with all these questions...? Not many people had to ever request an embassy change before all hell broke loose in 2020, so people don't know the answers to these questions.
