DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

I suggest you and your family actually visit your nearest CBP Deferred Inspection location (don’t rely on phone calls or email), take the envelopes with you. If CBP already received the electronic version of your immigration records, they will let you know at that point and you get to keep the envelopes in that case.
I searched for the nearest CBP Deferred Inspection , but unfortunately they where closed, also we are flying to Arizona and there is no office located there, so I decided to go ahead and bring the envelopes to the CBP located at the LAX airport (Tom Bradley International Terminal) , as it was our only option at this point.... Now we'll just have to wait and see what will happen. If our Green Card will be delayed or they will just say that they don't have any records of us, at least we know what happened and explain the error... Is it any way to check, maybe in 2-3 weeks from now, our GC status? Hope for the best and that they don't screw this up even more ...

what does it say on the uscis case status page if you enter the immigrant fee receipt number? That's normally where you track - i personally did this what 7 years ago so not sure what the current "progression" of statuses is though https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

My wife (principal applicant) made an online account at USCIS in May when we payed the Immigrant Fee, this is what appears on the status. I also checked on the link that you provide, is the same message (that they received the payment .... ).
 
Hello guys, I have a question about address in US
Let's say I put Address A in my DS260 and I get my visa Issued after that.
Then at port of entry in US I put Address B
Now my question is:
1- Is it possible that my green card get mailed to address A? If yes what should I do to prevent it?
I was thinking about differ of paying of Green card issuance fee after arriving in US ! Is it OK?
2- Is there any tracking service to check which address my Green card is mailing to? Or maybe change it if that was incorrect address?
 
Hello, Am very new here. Just wanted to find out why I have not received any response from KCC after submitting my DS-260 in December 2020. Sorry if I may be taking you back,
 
Hi Everybody!

Hope all of you have a great day! I am a dv2021 selectee from EU and a plaintiff in Goh case. I have a question, hopefully some of you have the right answer to make my life easier

Is it true that from March 2021 we do not have to provide the declaration of self-sufficiency? So we do not have to bring an "evidence" to the interview to prove we won't be a public charge?

I googled it and find this one:

"On or after March 9, 2021, applicants and petitioners should not provide information required solely by the Public Charge Final Rule. That means that applicants for adjustment of status should not provide the Form I-944, Declaration of Self-Sufficiency, or any evidence or documentation required on that form with their Form I-485."

Thank you in advance!

The I-944 Self-Sufficiency Declaration form you quoted above which is no longer being enforced is AOS related, it has never been applicable to CP, CP applicants were never required to present it in the first place. There is an expectation to still be able to demonstrate you're unlikely to become a public charge.

If you haven't sent in your required documents to KCC outside of submitting your DS-260, you might have left things too late at this point. Several selectees didn't get any communication from KCC either after submitting their DS260 form, but they've subsequently sent in the applicable documents.

If the address gets correctly updated at the POE, the GC gets sent to the updated address.

Thank you very much! So there is a possibility they will ask for my bank statement (or other belongings) to prove I won't be a public charge. If they won't ask in the e-mail before the interview to bring it, it's not obligatory, right? Or I can ask for the affidavit of support from my relatives in the US? What is your suggestion to do since I won't be able to present 10-15 dollar immediately? Thank you once again!

Get an affidavit of support. Attend your interview prepared for all sorts of eventuality, that is the key!
 
Hi guys,
i'm a 2021 Dv winner, i was born in Albania , but i'm currently living in italy with my family.
i didn't recived any mail for sending documents after sending my ds260.
my case number is very high : 2021EU00038XXX
i'm plannig to send it anyway.

here is the problem :
when i completed the ds260 i still had a valid albanian passport. currently it has expired, but in the meantime I have acquired Italian citizenship, and therefore I can apply for an Italian passport. Since I have a family, and all 4 (my wife and my 2 children) have completed the ds260, do we all have to apply for an Albanian passport or can I use the Italian one?
another question: do I have to send only the documents of the winner, or of all 4?

sorry for my bad english

You can use any current valid passport. Should you get an interview bring the one you entered DV with as well.

Documents are for all family members as clearly explained in the instructions : “ The applicant and each family member who will accompany the applicant to the United States will need to submit scanned copies and any required translations ”

hello guys!
Does everybody get DQ email before 2NL? Or maybe we probably would get 2NL directly without DQ email? Thanks

In most cases people have received the DQ/RFS email prior to getting 2NLs. Of course some people will "miss" an email (spam folders etc), but other than that it seems pretty reliable that you will see the DQ/RFS email before the 2NL. That could certainly change for named plaintiffs if the lawsuits are successful, or the emails sent almost simultaneously.
