    The MYTH that you can't visit US after sending forms to KCC

    I agree. I think in theory submitting documents to the KCC has shown immigrant intent, but it is largely irrelevant as the petitioner is in the process of legally immigrating, and thus issuing a B1/2 with the proper circumspect to the whole context is valid. This all changes if petitioner is...

    Anyone who was SELECTED with high CN, but NEVER got interview??? Please share your experience

    Just my 2¢, I've never heard of anyone not getting their interview either, but nobody goes onto the internet to post bad news. Chances are if you are a member of these forums, you're diligent and smart enough to be able to follow the process, or ask questions. Nonetheless, that does not means...

    What happens if I've won the DS lottery but don't feel I'll be ready to move to the US next year?

    You are not prohibited from trying again. If you've already sent your documents to the KCC, you probably know this means you will be called up for an interview, but it's not an obligation to go. You could always go to the United States (assuming you are successful and fulfill the criteria etc)...

    The MYTH that you can't visit US after sending forms to KCC

    Not sure which posts you have read, but the main question I've seen is not whether an individual would be issued to non-immigrant visa after submitting their documents to the KCC for an immigrant visa, but whether or not they would be able to receive a non-immigrant visa after being denied /...

    EU selectee case number EU42XXX

    Hi lightL, I suggest you get your document together, put them in a nice envelope and submit them DHL. You were selected, and as such you do have a chance, no matter how small. Your chance will only be zero if you sit on your hands and do nothing. There is no reason why you couldn't become...

    DV 2014 Results being released in batches this time round.

    Interesting theory, I'd like it to be true, but it does not make sense to me, I'm afraid. I'm well aware of the potential for another group of winners in October I believe, but it makes no sense to stagger the results in batches because nobody would know when to check, and when they simply...

    DV 2014 winner with wrong information on November application. Need some advice

    It'll get flagged as a discrepancy,but it's not the end of the world, technically you were born in Melbourne, of which Dandenong is a suburb of. But yeah, you should have put Dandenong down. Don't worry about it, just fill out the accurate information in the forms, and send them to the KCC...

    DV lottery interview - chargeability: parents temporary residents at time of birth

    No, you'll have to prove it, and do so by providing evidence. Invitation letters from the university, passports with student/temporary visas in them, and any other sort of evidence that is relevant to prove the temporary nature of their stay.

    WON the DV2014 but have problem

    No, you do not change the birth certificate. You simply write the correct name on the forms you submit to the KCC. You'll have to explain the discrepancy at the interview. Why did you write the wrong name down?

    WON the DV2014 but have problem

    Makes no difference. You were born in the Netherlands, and you registered with the Netherlands as the country of chargeability. Your dual nationality makes no difference whatsoever to your eligibility, however you will have to declare your dual nationality on the forms you submit...

    Photo file lost

    Yes you can send a new photo. In fact you are technically obliged to send a new photo for the simple reason that the rules specify the photo sent with the forms must be "recent", which is defined at no more than six months old, although in practice people have been fine sending the old one so...

    about mutiple entries

    Yes, someone could sabotage an applicant's legitimate entry by submitting another with the same biographic information. If it's an exact duplicate it is disqualified by the KCC. If it not exact, it will lead to disqualification at the Consulate stage. It does not matter how a duplicate entry...

    DV Lottery and B1/B2 Visa

    Hi Sech, It's at the discretion of the U.S. immigration inspector that you will see when you arrive, should you chose to go. They have wide discretion in granting entry to the U.S. Whether or not you will be admitted depends also very much on why you were denied a Diversity Visa, which raises...

    wrong name in dv-2014 application form...

    It never ceases to amaze how people can get such basic biographical facts wrong on such a simple document that is available for a whole month to inspect and submit properly. If you live in the U.S. already you MAYBE could get away with it. If not, pretend you’re the CO interviewing applicants...

    Passport Issues

    I do not think an interview can begin without bringing all the required documents. A passport is essential. All dependants are required to attend, and in the case of the spouse, be interviewed, and posses a valid unexpired passport. According to the US Embassy in London: See requirements...

    2013 DV Australian winners

    Tetanus and whooping cough, known as pertussis, are two different things entirely. Getting sick with pertussis "whooping cough" or getting pertussis vaccines doesn't provide lifelong protection, which means you can still get pertussis later on in life and pass it on. Having tetanus does not...

    DV 2013 disqualification because of a child issue

    If I remember correctly, the mandating that a picture for each applicant is submitted, irrespective of any circumstances, is to deter and prevent people and child smuggling. There have been numerous cases reported to the U.S. Congress by the U.S. Government Accountability Office whereby...

    Photograph swap

    I assume you are referring to the original E-DV application that was submitted, not the photographs later submitted to the KCC in form DSP-122 / DS-230. Well that is very lucky; usually it is an automatic disqualification for an invalid photograph with no refund. Try calling the embassy...

    DV 2013 disqualification because of a child issue

    You could always give the Embassy a call and ask. It would be nice to know what they think.
