DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

27/63 submissions in European region, 29/49 in African, just from this forum spreadsheet tracker. But nobody is sure…
 
Hi everyone. I made a unlock request for my ds 260 to add my spouse on oct 8 because i just got married, they unlocked my case on nov 3 and i resubmitted my ds260 today (nov4). My case nr is low 2022EU3XXX . Does anyone know if resubmitting ds 260 causes delay for requesting documents, and interview date?
 
Hello There thank you so much, but My birth year is 1999 Our CN is AS28XXX I don’t think our CN will be current on Nov and even for January

It is hard to decipher what you've written here and to determine if you will remain eligible to benefit as your parent's derivative under the the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). Actual (specific) dates are required in order to determine if the CSPA may protect you from aging out or not. I haven't written extensively on CSPA for a while now, so I will give it another go here.

The Child Status Protection Act of 2002 (CSPA) provides some sort of relieve to derivative beneficiaries of DV lottery selectees who could potentially loose eligibility for immigration derivative benefit as a result of turning 21. To calculate eligibility for children in this category, DOS uses the period between the first day of the eDV application period (in this case Oct 7th 2020 I believe?) and the date the principal applicant was notified of their selection (May 8th, 2021 - official release date) as the "petition pending period". This period will be subtracted from the beneficiary's age on the date the principal applicant's CN becomes current. If the CSPA age is under 21 as at the first day of the month (I think?) the CN becomes current, the child is considered eligible as a derivative.

Date of Birth: Nov. 1st, 2000
Priority Date (1st day of eDV registration): Oct. 7th, 2020
Approval Date (1st day of DV result release): May 8th, 2021
CN Current Date: Nov. 1st, 2021

Above is an example for a DV 2021 selectee with a derivative child born Nov. 1st, 2000, whose CN became current on Nov. 1st, 2021, the child will have a CSPA age of 20 years, 4 months and 29 days and remains eligible even though they already officially turned 21.

If you have already turned 21, and your CN is not yet current (and will not be current for a couple more months), I don't think you will be protected by CSPA in your specific case. Here's a online tool from another immigration website you can use for calculating the CSPA age (note, it cannot be used for a future CN current month).

Yes of course I know your CN is not current in November or anytime soon. The year and the CN in my post was an example of how to calculate the CSPA age, I never said those where yours. You do understand what an example is, right?

Hello smom as you told I calculated my age via the link you gave yep you’re right it seems I couldn’t protect by CSPA and I wanted to ask you that is there another way to go with my parents because there’s no one for me because I’m unmarried I couldn’t get married because of some personal issue however if we get mail for interview I also should go with my parents because we have submitted DS form for me also there were 3 form so can talk anything about that in the interview??
 
Yes I know it was an example, and I don’t know what to do if my parents left me I feel like very depressed because of all these things and my personal issue also my life is like full of trash On this my young age I’m only 22 but I’m facing many problems I think I’m a very very unlucky person to live there’s no way .................,,

Unfortunately once you age out, you become ineligible to receive a visa as a derivative. There’s no way around that, it is the law. You can attend the interview with them if you like, this will just mean your parents throwing away the $330 DV fee payment they must make for your case before they eventually get told you’re no longer eligible because you’ve aged out.

By the way, you should submit a DV2023 entry for yourself before it closes (if you haven’t done so already). You may be lucky to get selected next year and hopefully you do meet the entry requirements on your own.

You honestly need to go speak with a mental health specialist. You should do so right away.

Yes you (same as any other forum member) may send me questions via PM provided the question(s) involves disclosure of personal information and they are DV process related. I will not respond to any PM that does not meet the above parameters.

You can send your documents
Personally i sent mine without being asked it is over 6 weeks still no any answer from KCC also no Documents request even though CN was current in October.
I think without documents request they do not check documents.
