DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hello! I have a question. I have a high school diploma and a Bachelor diploma from Albania but I live in Germany. When I'll have my interview ( if ever ), should I validate my degrees in Germany ( so should I go through the recognition process that makes my degrees equivalent to German ones ) or it is enough to translate and legalize them? Will the embassy recognize them as valid without the recognition process or no?
Thank you for your answers !

No need, the US embassy does not care what Germany thinks of your diploma/degrees, you just need them translated from Albanian into English. No “legalization” required either.
 
Hi, I know that this forum is for DV related issues, but I have a question I don't know if anyone has an answer. I am a 2021AF DV selectee and currently also chasing visa through F2A. I was wondering if I join the lawsuit, can that in any case affect my application for I 130? Thank you.
 
My Immigration lawyer completed my I-485 form wrong on parts Part 3 (Address history) and Part 14 (Additional Information).
I have moved around a few more times than needed in the past 5 years and provided my lawyer with about 5 addresses, but she forgot to add one of them to the list, and therefore a huge time gap was left in between addresses.

So for example, this is what my I-485 looks like:

Address 1 = 1/1/2021 - Present
Address 1 = 1/1/2020 - 12/31/2020
Address 1 = 1/1/2018 - 12/31/2018
Address 1 = 1/1/2017 - 12/31/2017

Here I am using fake dates to convey what happened. But as you can see from this example, an entire year is missing in the address history (2019 in the example). My I-485 was already mailed. Is this something I should be worried about? Can my application be denied because of this?

You are not alone. Same predicament here.
 
@Xarthisius @Britsimon
Thank you for sharing your insights on how the DV2021 CEAC data should be looked at.

Just wondering if there is any way one can know from the overall DV2021 CEAC database how many cases have chosen to have interviews at a particular embassy / consulate in their submitted DS260?
 
Did anyone attend the Jacob V Biden suit today? What happened? Not much I am assuming? I couldn’t find any info anywhere.

I did. The government attorney wasn't prepared and couldn't answer the judges questions. He then rescheduled the case another 3 weeks to give her time to get him this information. So it was very disappointing, and you can see the disappointment of all the attorneys on our side. Attorneys Janah Al Ikhals and Abadir Barre were much more informative,, articulate and prepared than the government attorneys. However from the onset I can tell this judge can care less about all the pain immigrants are feeling.

Very sad. Such little time left. 3 weeks is nearly 25% of it gone
