DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

SusieQQQ said:
You seem to be implying that I told you to do something “in the next couple of months” or “a month or two”. I did not. And at no point did I (or anyone else I am aware of) say that submitting DS is crucial for adjudication timing in a general sense, except in two very specific circumstances: if you have a very low case number and want an interview as early as possible, or when you run the risk of submitting it too late to get processed in time for an interview before the end of the fiscal year. If you submit your DS260 in June next year, as you indicated and what I responded to, then you will fall into the latter category of too late for processing. So yes, in that specific instance it matters.

1. At no point did I say a month or two at this point makes any difference. I merely suggested getting the legalities of the marriage done so that it would not be too late when you do submit. June will almost certainly be too late.
2. Please be consistent. Here you are talking about submitting documents “in a couple of months”. The post I responded to was talking about submitting in June. Don’t get all het up at me when I answer what you actually ask when you now claim to actually be planning something else.



By the way I do not believe anyone has said anywhere “actually, you cannot submit documentation if your number won't be current in the next couple of months.” This makes no sense, seeing as interview notices are sent out a couple of months ahead and won’t be sent out if documents have not all been processed.

Hello SusieQQQ,

thank you for your prompt response and sorry for the confusion.

I am not the person that wrote to you about the marriage in June. I am another user (and sorry if I entered the exchange you were having with him/her).
I've just seen the responses and I've got confused (I did not realize that he/she was talking about June 2022).
I thought he/she was speaking about June 2021. My bad.

The "month or two" was my idea to start the DS260 instead. I know you didn't suggest it, nor I implied it. Again, sorry about the confusion.
Now is clear however. From what I see, from the visa bulletins published in the last 10 years, my number 2022EU16xxx won't be current until begin next year.
Maybe there is not an immediate urgency to submit the DS260 and I still have a little bit of time (not too much though).
Do you think I am proceeding correctly?

Thank you
 
Hello everyone I hope you are all in good health, when I registered last year in October for the DV 2022, I have had registered with a passport that had my name wrongly spelled in it and after I won, I realized it so I renewed my passport and filled the ds-260 with the new passport with the correct name spelling(obviously the passport number have changed) . of course I have been stressing about this for a while. do you believe that this is a reason for denial, taking in mind that I have the old passport with me.
the wrong name in the old passport: ASIL Y. A. ALBAHLOOL
the right name in the new passport: ASEEL Y. A. ALBAHLOL

Thank you in advance.

Are these names a transliteration from a different alphabet?

Old & new passports plus birth certificates, etc should be ok.

1. You need patience. KCC is trying to get DV21 applicants through the process at present. You guys all have plenty of time.
2. “Worst case” you take the new documents to /give the officer the correct details at the interview. Just like we used to do in the old days when you mailed in a paper copy and that was it.

Some of my information that I have entered is missing. More serious my spouses name shows my university’s name!! I have checked all before submitting.
 
SusieQQQ said:
KCC is admin. It is not their job to check stuff like this.
PS kcc probably hasn’t even looked at half or more the 2022 DSs submitted yet. This story is very fishy in many ways. Hope they did not give details over the phone to whoever called them.

He said the host was asked to sign some forms and also asked whether the applicant is a criminal whether he will host him if it's true he knows him just a few info,

Sign some forms?What forms? Sent to where? Asked whether the applicant was a criminal? Sounds very odd to me.

Hello there!
I have another question regarding education / work experience. I seem to have lost my highschool diploma, I only have a french translation of it, so it's not an official paper. Getting a copy would be an actual nightmare.
I have a Master's degree in architecture and another diploma that attests that i'm a licensed architect. Can these replace the highschool diploma?
Otherwise, I have more than 2 years of experience of working, but the last year has been freelancing - how do I prove freelancing experience? Bills? I also have a contract as an employee that goes between 2016-2020.

Some consulates will want to see the high school diploma.

Yeah, this indeed is quite odd. There has never been a report of KCC contacting a host to ask about a selectee they’re planning on hosting, talk less of asking the host to sign some form. I’m willing to bet that contact wasn’t from KCC. Considering the host got a call, as originally reported here by you, how did they send the form to the host?

Even if I qualify for work experience and not education?

It's much easier to use the education route. Its well outlined and easier to prove to most COs
Just out of curiosity, why do you contradict your earlier statement by indicating that you don't qualify through education yet you claim to have advanced education to Masters level?

I might understand the consulate calling someone to confirm hosting but the case wouldn’t be anywhere near the consulate yet for dv22. And I’ve never heard of a host having to sign a form just to host - an i134 is different and presented by the applicant at the consulate. Happy to be proved wrong, maybe some details wrongly presented by poster here as a third party, but so far this seems like a ploy to get personal details.

I lost my highschool diploma...To obtain a duplicate from my country is a very long process that will take months, especially given that i don't live in my country of birth. The only papers I have with me regarding education are a master diploma and a diploma that certifies that i'm a licensed architect.
