    DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

    Traditionally, yes, interviews were scheduled according to case number (CN). However, for the 2022 year things were very different. Here is what I found out from experience and what was shared here on this forum: 1. The processing of your DS-260 must by KCC must be completed 2. Your CN becomes...

    I reread my postings; I respectfully disagree that I was panicky. Maybe you read between the lines and concluded so. Nonetheless, thank you for your response

    Not sure I understand. Let me make it clearer One has business that cannot allow them to be away for more than 2 or 3 days, so they cannot relocate immediately. Their Visa will expire before they can wrap up stuff and relocate to the US. So, I thought one could simply buy a return ticket to...

    Wow, wasn't aware of this; is this correct. I thought you could come to the US, land at JFK, for example, get your visa stamped in your passport, then catch the next flight home a few hours later? I thought the visa is valid once stamped in the passport, and you can leave and return to the US in...

    I think they just said that No, it shouldn't affect your case because your Police certificate will always be less than 2 years old when you go for your interview.

    A follow-on question on the Police clearance certificate. If a country's police clearance has a six-month expiry, and one doesn't get an interview before that expiry, does one need to get a new police clearance certificate, even though the embassy says the police clearance certificate is valid...

    I think this whole I-134 submission process is meant to discourage or scare away would-be sponsors. There is so much personal information that you have to hand over to a potential sponsee (if such a word exists). I would personally be reluctant to part with such detailed information. It would...

    The September bulletin numbers look higher than previous September bulletins Most countries are at 5 600, which is almost double for 2022 and other previous years. Hope this means things will move faster and smoother.

    DV 2023 AOS (Adjustment of Status) Only

    Hmmm, do AOS cases receive faster 2NLs than others? With a Case number of AF57xxx, how would you get a 2NL before others with lower CNs, such as my cousin with AF35xxx, and another with AF15xxx?

    I don't understand what you mean by "That’s basically full DV capacity for a normal year..." How does 4 900 translate to full capacity? I am confused.

    I have a couple of questions on the i-134 1) The link you gave above has 2 columns, a 125% column and another (assumed to be the 100% column). @Britsimon video suggests using the latter (100% column), but on the USCIS link you posted above, it says that column is "For sponsors on active duty in...

    Where can I find an explanation of what the columns mean? What is AP? What do the 2 numbers mean? What does the bold and non-bold numbers mean?

    4. I know people with very high case numbers for DV2022 who got interviewed before those with lower case numbers...in the AFxxx region. Up to now, I don't know what rationale is used to prioritise the 2022 interviews for the AF region.

    DS260 Unlocking 1) When I request the DS260 unlocking, do I specify all the beneficiaries whose forms I want to change, or I just specify the main applicant, and they will unlock all the forms? 2) But it is only the principal applicant's submission page that is required for the interview...

    About question 6; I have seen many people asking about what to write in the box. However, when I helped a friend complete her DS260, no box popped out, whether she answered "yes" or "No". Did we make a mistake somewhere?

    how long it take to unlock ds 260 ?

    Was wondering what sort of omissions/mistakes can be updated during interview? Can one update an expired/missing passport ( "missing" as putting other travel document in DS260) at the interview, or one must request an unlock.

    One more question. Considering the date of birth (DOB) error that was done on initial DV submission, wouldn't the DS260 unlocking cause complications (right now she has to log in using the incorrect DOB). If she waits for one more week to get her passport, she possibly loses on one week's...

    My friend's passport expired. It is being renewed and is likely to get it in a week or 2. Given what happened to DV22, I wanted to advise her to submit the DS260 with no passport information. When the passport comes, request an unlock and make the amendment. Do you think that is a good idea? I...
