    March 2023 Visa Bulletin

    Hmmm. We have all been looking forward to these visa bulletins and finding out when our CNs would be current. Sadly, the excitement is mostly short-lived as the rate of 2NL is far behind the visa bulletin (at least for my AF country of interest...which is just over 2 months behind, with January...

    I think the issue about the $10k limit is overblown. You can bring any amount to the US as far as I know. You can fill up your suitcase and bring it along. Only thing is YOU MUST DECLARE it at the port of entry, EVERY PENNY. They actually sit down and count it, and then document it (its meant to...

    IMHO, you just have to be patient, very patient unfortunately. I know it's frustrating. If I can share with you my example from DV 2022; my relative submitted DS260 in late September 2021 for the AF region. Following several enquiries (every 2 weeks), they finally received a response that their...

    My example could be an outlier, and its by no means intended to make people panic. Be hopeful and wait...I think. I hope your paperwork will be processed soon. Good luck

    I am not sure if there is a formula on how long it takes. But, for DV2022 I know people that submitted early September 2021 and got their DS 260 processed around May/June 2022. I hope this helps. I know it is frustrating, but sometimes one has no control over these things. I still don't find...

    The 2NL will tell you all the steps you need to take. For example, it will tell you to confirm your attendance through an email address that they will provide in the letter. BTW, there are 2 letters that you get. One is a download from the status page, it is generic, but has all your details...

    Sorry for being rather behind. Where do you access this CEAC data?

    Unless the pace has changed for 2023, I know people who submitted in September 2021; their DS260 was only processed in May 2022.

    The "been there done that" thread: life in the US after DV

    My buddies are trying to get their divers' licences in Virginia. They have not yet received their green cards. The DMV lady rejected their application bid saying your visa expired. Has anyone faced this before? Is there a way around it? I suggested they take a page (link) from USCIS that says...

    Seems you are not alone. My relative is AF15XXX, and current for January, but have not heard a thing.

    It is safe to assume that you will need one. Almost everyone I know that have gone through this process had to have one. When will you know? In your 2NL and the letter from the embassy will lay down all the requirements and when you should submit them (usually on your interview date).

    KCC says "Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing." So, essentially, what I read from this statement is that, once your DS260 is processed, interviews are scheduled based on your CN.

    You could give a bit of context to your hypothesis. Which region? Your case, and when you submitted your DS260. Did you ask if your DS was processed? I am monitoring for a relative (AF16XXX). Their case will be current in January. From previous cases that I have seen on this forum, they should...

    Host details! DV 2023

    Why don't you post in the DV 2023 CP thread, you may get some good advice from there. As far as I know (I am no expert), your host can sponsor as many people as they are willing to, provided their income meets the threshold (https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p). If they must do it they need to...

    I respectfully submit that I find your response annoyingly insulting. If you have nothing constructive to contribute to a question, the free world we live in dictates that nice people would refrain from hurling non-constructive comments that only serve to cause divisions Nonetheless, I do my...

    For the interview, do they require DS260 confirmation pages for the principal applicant and each of the derivatives or just for the principal applicant?

    I suspect this is a software developer's leftover bug following recent revisions. I saw that tooltiptext as well, but knew that document submission is no longer required. I think you do have everything n order, and you do not need to submit any documents at this time.
