    DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    Yes - that would be what they expect to be your CP country.

    DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    I should add - they normally expect that to be your last country of residence, but in some cases that won't be sensible/possible - so you have to make that clear.

    DV 2023 Oceania Winners

    Oc21xx isn't too bad. I believe oc numbers go above 3000 in dv2023. And don't judge a year based on early VBs, they always start slow. And don't make assumptions that dv2023 will go current because dv2022 did. Dv2022 was a mess.

    October 2022 Visa Bulletin

    Yes - they seem to have lost control. The numbers for scheduled cases were nicely within the cap, but they also cleared about 2500 AP's during the final week. That pushed them over by around 800 to 1000 visas. Bizarre.

    October 2022 Visa Bulletin

    Mumbai made an arrangement with the physician and told the 13 cases to go there first thing, then head to the embassy. It was cool. The embassy also worked late. I agree with Xarthisius though. They screwed up is the most likely explanation. They should have stopped issuing visas for AP, but...

    Issued (CEAC data plus AOS as of September 18) = 55723. Seriously.

    DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    Haha - we aren't disagreeing on this either. I'm not recommending people unlock to correct a small typo in the name of a school they attended 20 years ago - but for things that *need* to be corrected, people should do so. Incidentally, KCC email responses are almost within a day or two at the...

    Just a quick note. There was a fear created about unlocking in DV2022, which some would like to continue into DV2023. However, there are now numerous DV2023 cases which show unlocking is not causing delays, and that DS260 processing is going well. DV2023 should be "normal" where DS processing...

    I think when you say Simon, you probably mean Sm1smom. She and Susie are angels, I'm just an angel wanna be.

    DV 2022 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

    Government sworn declarations show there are 1346 AOS cases issued up to 9/18. As of today there are 50,829 visas issued (including AOS and visas being printed). It's gonna be the highest issuance year ever.

    If you carefully read the instructions you will find a link to the embassy specific instructions where it lists the panel physician(s) with whom you should book your appointment. Reading the instructions is time well spent!

    DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    The rules say (although FAM went through a change about this) that a person choosing the incorrect country of chargeability would be disqualified UNLESS: 1. The countries were in the same region 2. The applicant received no benefit from the choice. 3. There are no fraud concerns You are OK...

    They went by the AV date. That means DQ, and current. So - if a higher case number than your was DQ before you, they could have been prioritized above you.

    DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

    DV2021 ended on September 30th 2021. In the normal course of events, no visas would be issued after that date. There were lawsuits filed against the government which achieved a reservation of a certain number of visas for later issuance, but the two main ones only achieved a win for plaintiffs...

    DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    I advise people to assume the I-134 is needed. The I-134 is to address concerns that you might become a public charge, and this consideration is part of *every* immigrant case. However, you might be able to satisfy the questions based on a highly in demand profession/skill, personal savings or...
