    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    Makes sense. The comment about losing the visa comes from things I have read here when people ask about rescheduling their interviews. I thought some people lost their 2014 slots because of this but it appears I misunderstood. Thanks for the explanation.

    DV 2015 winners from Europe

    What happens when you have all the current cases for the month + a bunch of delayed cases and a limited capacity at embassies; does KCC schedule the delayed first and the current second or the delayed wait until there is not enough current people to fill in the spots? This of course assumes...

    Journalist wants to interview DV winners, based in New York

    Usken go, no such info exists. Once you are an LPR you are an LPR and the means by which you acquired the status is not recorded for tax purposes. Britsimon, did she say why NY exactly vs some other state?

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Hi cewalzer and Flori_ALB_NY, Thanks for the info. Flori the spreadsheet is really useful. I do not know what to say either. For the previous months I was fine with the wait but I was sure it will be in December... Funny thing is I am in the US already and opted for CP because the speed of...

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Hi guys, Case number EU4***, DS260 submitted on June, 16th. Current since October. I called KCC and will not be scheduled in the the December round either. Waiting the January one but by the looks of it nothing at all is guaranteed. I was told to just wait... So far over 4 months and the form...

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Hi guys, If I change my passport do I need to update it in DS260 or is it fine to do that during the interview? Usually my country does not allow its citizens to keep old passports but mine has an active visa in it so I will get to keep it for the interview ( they will punch holes in it though...

    DV-2015 changing DS-260 from AOS to CP

    Correct. The reason I suggested it is cause the whole point of unlocking the form is to change whatever you need. I understand your hesitance but if I were I would give it a try for the peace of mind it will give you. Try asking someone here that is unlocking their form for whatever reason to...

    DV-2015 changing DS-260 from AOS to CP

    The first page is locked immediately after you proceed to the next page even before you submit your form the first time. It took me quite some time to figure out that I can change it from the review step. I was also about to do AOS but changed my mind to CP. I succeeded and one other person...

    DV-2015 changing DS-260 from AOS to CP

    When you opened the unlocked DS260 did you try to change the location on the first (instruction) page? If yes, here is what you can do: 1) unlock ds260 2) go through so you get to the review stage where you check your answers 3) look at the very last or second to last tab/step within the...

    New Immigrant - Taxes, Health Insurance & SSS?

    On your first question, I do not know much about it so I cannot help. On your other questions: 2) Taxes are dependent on your working situation but the general answer is no you do not have to file anything until the next tax period. When you get a job you will file with the employer one form...

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Thanks a lot Britsimon. The idea is that I want to do the medicals in October. I was current in October but I still do not have the 2nd NL. I believe it will happen in December since I submitted my forms mid June. I live abroad and I will travel home soon for a short visit. I want to avoid...

    DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

    Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever heard of the medicals being valid only for a month prior the interview? Meaning that if I go for a medical 8 weeks before the interview they would expire before that. That is not contradicting the general six month validity it is more like a different limitation. I...

    October VB Released DV2015

    Hi moe2015, I was current in October. Submited DS on June, 15th. I talked to KCC on Friday and they told me the application is still processing. They just told me to wait and that they are unable to tell me when the interview would be scheduled. I took that to mean I am pushed for December. I...

    First VB for 2015 dv winners!

    Many thanks, Britsimon! Maybe they have been focused on closing 2014. I hope they will send them out by the end of the week as Mom suggested otherwise we would kick off 2015 with delays... Good luck with your case. Hope everything goes well for you and your family!
