Guys,

My Visa is current in Jan 2011. And I sent my docs in Sept. Do you know how long it takes for them to process applications? I called them last week and the person said to call back in 8 weeks for an interview date. Anyone else current in Jan/Feb period?

Hi! Sand2010
Normally kcc takes about 8 to 10 weeks to process the application. By now your applications must be completed processing. If you are current in january 2011, send them another email by next week or else try to call them,you will get an answer same time. For my knowledge if you are current in january, you might have the interview in february 2011.(Because there is little delay in visa allocation) Keep sending emails to kcc, they will answer you. Good luck.

Hi all,

Congratulations for all who had successful interviews! And Good Luck for other who are yet to have it like me ! :)
After long time I got a chance to g through the thread and see how many changes has happened! Sorry for not replying!

I have a small query regarding my DV VISA Processing. My Case number is 18XXX and KCC has confirmed that they received my document. Therefore waiting for the 2NL to come! :)

Now the problem is .... My wife got a work VISA from her company to UK and now she has to move there for 2 years. Therefore I'm also planning to quite from my job and move with her under spouse visa to UK.
Since I have put all my work information in DV applications as the primary applicant, I'm having second thought as it will have a negative impact to my VISA processing or not.

What should I do? I mailed KCC, but they didn't gave me any feedback regarding my question. They just mentioned that they received my doc and waiting to processing, etc. So I'm more confused.

1) If I quite my job, will there be any problem to my VISA processing?
2) What should I do? Whom should I inform?

Please note I want to process my VISA in Colombo, not in UK.

Any thought?

Appreciate your feedback and inputs!

Thanks and best regards,
Senuk
Case number - 18XXX
 
Senuk,

There will be no impact on your VISA processing. As long you are eligible for the lottery and provide documents such as your education qualification to qualify for the visa you should be fine. If you are planning leave the company you are working for just get a letter from them that you worked in the company. So in case they asked about your former employer and the information you have listed in the forms you can advise them and that you no longer work for them and show them the letter.

All the best.
 
No one in KCC or embassies will give you any "official advise" at this moment. You will not be ale to depend later on the he said/ she said stuff. So get informed and act prudently.

You will most likely have your intvw. in May-June, with 4-5 months left in FY, so keep that in mind.
If you want to travel back to SL for intvw and you get stuck with admin. processing then it will be a hassle, your wife will not be able to go back soon to her job in UK.

If you leave the job now it is obvious to anyone why, your life circumstances changed and you did it. It will not be a problem in my view. BUT, as you know you as a family will have to be ready to overcome 'public charge' issue in the DV process. Your wife's job will help and also try to get an i-134. But they will certainly consider your past experience and qualifications to see how well you be able to get a job in US and survive.

But why you do not want to process your visa in UK? Sure CMB is a hassle free post (UK is not bad either) but with your overall situation I think you may want to do it in UK. Its your call and if you plan to do that way, do as follows;

1. Get all your O/L, A/L and ALL relevant original docs before you leave SL.
2. After you leave, inform KCC of your change with new set of DSP 122 and , DS 240.
3. As soon as you leave to UK write to CMB embassy and ask them to obtain for you the SL police report and get it to you.
4. Near to your intvw. get UK police report, medical etc. (even if you come back to SL for intvw, get UK police report even if it is less than 6 mo stay, just to be safe)

Thats my 2 Rs !

Best !

2nl

My Name is Tony

My CN 2011AS00030XXX

I received my 1NL in May and I sent the completed documents to KCC by DHL and DHL confirmed the delivery.

There was no confirmation from the KCC. I am worried. Will I receive the 2NL? Can I call them and ask if they receive my document? Please anyone can advice me.

I am a Sri Lankan.
Tony
