My case is likely to be due for interview in July/August. Which month should I request for the affidavit of support from my host,
and which documents should accompany the same. By the way, does the affidavit expire , is it supposed to be sent as a parcel or an ordinary letter.
Kindly advise.

@gitima just a quick one, when filling in the DS260 do you need to include your host details or this is not a requirement at that time? Thanks.
 
Congrats

Hello ,

Some questions in relation to DS260, if I'm reposing a question that was previously asked, my apologies then.

I understand that men between the ages of 18 - 26 , have to print a form (NOTICE OF DUTY TO REGISTER WITH U.S SELECTIVESERVICE SYSTEM) . Firstly , I am a lady so I did not come across this personally when filling in my DS260. Second, I have no derivatives under 26years.

Again to my understanding, this form is submitted within 30 days upon arrival in to the US at your nearest post office.

My question - I have come across a couple of DV selectees who have submitted their DS260 , and they are men aged between 18 and 26 , and they did not see and print this form. So does this complicate issues when you go to the interview without the form ?

Also, how does one access this form after he has already submitted his DS260 ?

I stand to be corrected if I have posted any wrong information.

Moderator - @Britsimon - Any thoughts re this ?

Forum Mates - comments are welcome.

Thanks

I believe the CO (or perhaps the IO at the POE) will get anyone affected to sign the forms necessary - or at least provide the information needed.

@gitma , My advice to you is please go through this thread from the start, lots of questions that shall occur to you are already answered and you shall get to learn a lot more.

Coming to your question, affidavit of support is a form found on the government website , its Form I-134 . Are you from an African country ? If yes, kindly read this thread from the start, the affidavit of support is not needed ( Very rare cases it is asked for by the CO since the Host system is more common in Africa ). Kindly read this thread from the start and also the Kenyan DV 2014 selectees report here !! thread.

Trust me you shall learn a lot .

Good luck ! :)

@Britsimon any chances of visa denial or being put on AP ?

Not for the form but if someone is liable for selective service but does not register, be will be denied a naturalization application and can therefore never become a citizen. Note that because a DS can now not be signed without saying one is aware of this, you cannot argue that failure to do so was not "knowing and willful'.

http://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartD-Chapter7.html
USCIS will deny a naturalization application when the applicant refuses to register with Selective Service or has knowingly and willfully failed to register during the statutory period.

The link to that form stops from completing the ds260 until you attend to the attached form! How did they miss that unless someone else filled out their forms?
B.Simon is right but if they are going to carry this ignorance to the interview, certainly it is unwise

True. Then the Co might want to understand how you signed your Ds 260! That I have heard, though not in this forum, from a hard to advice selectee.He got away with it as at the signature stage, it was I indicated that someone assisted him to complete the form.

That story doesn't make sense. It is only since the online DSs that the selective service form pops up - it was quite reasonable to argue ignorance before. The online DSs haven't been around long enough for anyone using one to have naturalized (or tried to).
