Hello everyone,
I’m a DV 2022 winner my case number is in 17k
I’m from Asia (Jordan) married with 4 kids now but one was born recently (all 4 kids are U.S citizens). I’m currently in the U.S on a student visa F1. My wife and the kids are in Jordan (for work purposes). My wife has a valid F2.
The main winner is my wife she submitted her DS 260 on Aug 17, 2021 (before we had the new baby).
We had a baby on Sep 9, 2021
Me and my 3 kids (not including the newborn) submitted our DS 260 on Sep 22, 2021. (I didn’t add the newborn to my DS because at that time we were still waiting for his birth certificate and had no passport for him because of that). But now we got his birth certificate and passport.
First Part of the issue
I need your advice please, my options are:
1- Go to the DS main page and add an applicant (the newborn) without changing the parents DS260 forms or unlocking them.
2- Contact the KCC and ask them to unlock the DS for both parents and add the newborn to it. But that will give me a new submission date which may delay the DR.
Second Part of the issue
I’m thinking to change the location of the interview from Jordan to the U.S since I’m currently in the U.S but I believe that I have to submit I-485 (change of status) form instead of DS260. Which I believe will divert my case to USCIS instead of KCC. And after that I will bring my wife to the U.S using her F2 visa (she can’t come to the U.S until June 2022 due to work reasons in Jordan).
My concerns are:
1- should I wait until my wife is in the U.S and after that change the location of the interview?
2- Can I change only the location of the interview for myself and leave my wife’s interview location as is (in Jordan) taking into consideration she is the main winner?
3- is it even worth it to change the location of the interview to the U.S?
Your advice is really appreciated.
Thank you!
