If you have a family and a child ,how do i submit Ds 260? Especially signing and submitting.

If that form is electronic then I bet no signing is needed.
In our time we did ds230 paper based. Please those who are familiar with ds260 please help him out.
 
Hello Everyone,
For example if I have a son, not living with me, not travelling with me but will travel on a later date his mother is my girl friend.....do i still need to have his birth certificate during my interview day to confirm that I have a child....that was born after DV application?
Thanks in advance.....

Your case is one of a kind my friend.
I really don't know about Ds260 but in our time, one used to send ds230 for the kid inclusive a copy of his/her birth certificate.(Sorry you didn't ask that lol)
On the other issue the best way is for you to take both her passport and the birth cert to the interview. And also a letter signed before a lawyer or something showing that the Mum, your "girlfriend" has agreed to let you go with the kid.
But just a question...
Why didn't you just marry her n go with both of them? OK assume you get the visa, how are you planning to proceed? you'll do the parenting alone in U.S whilst still working/schooling? Remember that also the kid will have to get his visa by 30th Sept 2015 and S/he will also need to travel before his/her 6 month (-) visa validity expires.
Your case is simple and hard at the same time my friend.

Sorry my friend, my case is too much ! Thanks God forum is here to help, I will continue asking questions until I get enough confidence I need to face consular officer on my interview day :)
I don't live in my country of origin and not planning to go have interview in my country because of work, it's too expensive to start arranging to marry her and bring her abroad for interview! I'm thinking better go alone first but let the embassy know I got a son with her so that later if I decide to marry her, the issue of the son will not be a problem because I said it before! She can even stay like 5 yrs with my son before he can follow me in the US....it's not a must kid has to get visa before September 30th...just to let them know :) does it make sense :)? .....guidance please!
Thanks in advance!

On your DS260 form, be sure to list your son and his details. There's a section on the form for listing derivatives who will join you at a later date, list your son on this section. Since your son is not traveling with you or should I say since your son will not be getting a visa as a 2015 DV derivative, you should not fill out a separate DS-260 form for him, listing him on your form is enough. You will need to attend your interview with his birth certificate which of course should have your full name listed as the father.
 
@Sm1smom...Thank you for responding to his query.
@Cokoth I think Sm1smom's advice is far the best that you'll ever get here.
Ok now I clearly get you, on what you were trying to say earlier,
So you just want the Embassy to know you have a kid and not to get a visa as your derivative in fy2015, Now that makes it much much easier.
 
Am in a state of confusion...will i be required to pay the interview fee ($330) for all my family members? (my wife and children)
 
@Naff..went there on friday they told me to wait another 10 days on top of 10 days i had already waited...can you track the pp online?

Hi,at what at point do we ask our sponsor to fill I-134? Btw i don't remember including my sponsor (just my contact person in US) in my DS260:eek:

For the last few years, no DV winner has been asked for the so called I-134. You just need to have qualifying education/work and a contact in USA where your permanent residence card will be sent. By the way, let us knw each other
