    My father passed away, should I send updated forms to KCC

    I'm sorry about your loss. You've had good advice given, so I have nothing to add on that.

    Hi Muluken, Welcome to the forum. Well, I'm sure you know you were not supposed to do that and if they find out about it, you'll be automatically disqualified, and probably banned from the US. Did you use your own picture for all applications? Did you send in your DS forms yet...

    From what I've been told, it takes two days. The first day to do the exams, the second day to see the doctor. After that they will need some time (a couple of weeks) to send the report to the embassy. Of course, this is assuming all is in order. If, for instance, they find something on your...

    Guys, I just finished having all my school documents authenticated but I have one concern. Some of my documents are in French and I've had them translated into English by a French embassy approved translation company. Do I need to have the translations authenticated as well? The French...

    Yes it's with fingerprints so they should find any record under any name. However I was just thinking of how he can prove that he didn't conceal his name intentionally. It probably is unnecessary

    In addition to what sm1smom said, I think you should also see if you can get a police report that indicates you have no record under your previous name as well. It only takes 2 days max to do that, so if your interview is not on Monday or Tuesday, I think it's worth it.

    Oh I just realized that your interview is in a few days. Hm...in that case, I don't think there's anything KCC can do. Maybe you can email the embassy? Or else, maybe take an updated copy of DS230 to the interview and try to explain to the officer what happened before you sign the form. Maybe...

    Aby111, if I were you, I would send an email to KCC and ask them to add your old name to question 2 of DS 230. Tell them you omitted it earlier because you thought they meant names currently in use, but that you decided to add it just in case (which is the truth). I think it's important to...

    Sending updated forms to KCC

    Thanks!! Sm1smom, I actually kept changing my mind about sending an update, which is why I even waited this long. Basically, I was in the US when I sent in the forms, but I'm not there anymore. So not only does my address change continents, but I also have to account for my legal status...

    Sending updated forms to KCC

    Hi all, I need to update some info on my DS 230 form (change of my address, change of address where GC is to be mailed, and updating employment data). I want to redo a new form, scan and email it to them. I think I recall a few people doing that instead of mailing it and having success...

    sloner axiom :)

    I wrote a long post but it disappeared so I'll post again. What do you guys mean with Ethiopia's limit has been reached? I'm totally confused. So far, less than 600 visas were issued. Even if we assume double that amount gets issued until April 30 (Max CN of 30,000), that's still less...
