Thank you Britsimon,

but, how the CO assures the legality or the truthfulness of the document?

As much as the passport (or LPR document) and W2 tax information of the sponsor is added with the form, the submission is considered to be authentic.
In addition, if the CO suspects something fraud, the case might be kept on AP for further investigation.

I think the embassy is in charge.
 
You guys have been stressing on and on over a non issue. If KCC schedules an interview on a day that is a local public holiday at an embassy, since KCC isn't aware of all the local public holidays observed by each country, the applicable embassy will contact the applicant with a new date. It's been done before, it's not like the embassy will simply lock their doors on those days without notify anyone that was supposed to come for an interview.

Because the person signing it is aware that signing a declaration such as this with false information could lead to a charge of perjury - that is serious enough to make most people tell the truth.

Yeah. I mean my eyes almost popped right out of their sockets :eek: when I saw about 2 pages between when I was last online and now full of stressed-discussions about public holidays and what do to - and I was only gone a couple of hours :rolleyes:

No it doesn't mean that the degree is not recognized at all - it just means the University doesn't rank highly. That isn't really an issue although as I have written before, a US hiring manager is likely to be less impressed with a degree from a University that he or she doesn't know.

You know mom, almost all of us in this thread are new for dv process, specially about appointments on public holidays. It is very new experience for us. That is why we took it serious and had made two pages discussion until we got an answer that satisfied us.
It is now settled after you had answered it. Thank you.
 
I just gave this answer on my blog to someone that asked if their Ethiopian case number was going to get interviewed. I thought it was worth posting here just in case anyone here was stressing about their case numbers...

"
So I am really intrigued. There are about 5 or 6 different identities posting questions from the same computer with an IP address of 213.55.90.6. I assume you are posting from a shared computer in an internet café or something. All the questions seem to be from Ethiopians with case numbers between 28XXX to 32XXX. So perhaps you could print out this answer and stick it to the computer so that others can get the idea without having to repeat the same question...

OK so the answer. Ethiopia tends to get a high number of selectees (because of a high number of entries), but is limited in the draw process. This means the Ethiopian cases are concentrated in the early number ranges. In order to spread out the workload, the embassy slows down Ethiopian numbers via a country limit in the visa bulletin. However, relatively high refusal rates means that Ethiopia cannot max out which means pretty much every Ethiopian that completes the DS260 forms will get an interview, regardless of their case number.

So please relax and perhaps tell the other people to ask me the same question over and over again!!! "
 
Hi @Britsimon. It is common in Ethiopia to use internet cafes which have about 15 computers using the same IP address. It is also common to use wireless internet connections of hotels and offices which cover wide area. Any laptop or mobile phone that use such wireless connection show the same IP address.
So it is 'probable' that some dv winners use same IP address. They may not know each other.
