DV 2015 Selectees from Ghana

[God-Is-Love]

Hello,when a mistake is done on the form can it be corrected before my interview date?

Which form?
If the mistake was done on the original eDV application form, no one can go back and correct it. Only the CO will decide the about the case at interview time.
But, if it is on DS260, it is possible to request KCC to unlock, to correct the mistake and to submit the form again.

 

[Nana sarfo]

Is a shock but God knows best. @F-Lan take heart and lets hope for the best ok

 

[F-Lan]

Was the mistake done on the E-DV entry forms online or that was after you were selected ?

Hon. don't make any mistake period.

He did, did you not read the bit i quoted from his earlier post? It was on the EDV form. He tried to correct it on the DS260 but to no avail.

No no no I think I did notmake myself clear enough. I have NO errors during the entry . the error came from KCC because the confirmation page after EDV registration states my name correctly. I feel I have been unfairly denied. I can share my confidential info with @Britsimon for him to confirm this.

 

[F-Lan]

well i'm a bit shocked and surprised aba
@F-Lan omg that was soo out of the box man. I'm really sorry aba that. Lost for words cos I kno how this wld feel. take heart man

Haha borga I have been robbed seriously and I was not given a chance to even explain this. They thought it was fraud but as I said my edv confirmation page has no errors regarding myname so where did the said error come from?

 

[Da_nn]

I don't understand this at all. You fill in the EDV, you fill in the DS260. KCC doesn't fill in anything. How could the error arise?

charley i mk sad waaa.. damn u of all ppl ?? that's soo unfair

The error they are reffering to is only on the selectee page not the EDV not DS260. I have both with no succh errors.

 

[F-Lan]

Assuming I made errors with my name on the edv form during registration, shouldnt that error be visible on my confirmation page after submitting?

F-Lan, if you want me to take a look at what you have, please PM me here or use my gmail dot com address, britsimon3.

On the original eDV entry there are three fields - Last/family name, Firstname, Middlename. The 1NL letter shows your name in firstname (middlename) lastname order. For my wife, she has two lastnames and no middlename so the only letter I have seen says her name (firstname lastname1 lastname2) above the address and after the "Dear"

Now - was yours somehow different?

i remember of a case i read where the person was denial the dv visa but got a lawyer to write to the consulate to have mercy on the case. the letter was posted to the embassy backing it with prayer and believe in God, they got a visa after weeks.

I'm sorry I find this story unbelievable. Why? Because there's no appealing a CP denial, the decision is final. Neither lawyers from the applicable home country or the US can appeal a CP denial.

 

[Mr Khin]

Good to know. I think new E-DV entrants should be more careful when filling out these forms and every thing must be printed down for future cases like this.

There was a case here last year of someone who said they got a CP denial reversed due to a clear error on the part of the CO but I can't recall the details. It stuck in my head precisely because of how unusual it was. I don't recall a lawyer being involved though. I doubt prayer helped either, it was the facts of the case that counted.

Of course people say things that aren't necessarily true here either, like that person who claimed he had documentation to show that someone got an interview months before the number was current but disappeared when I asked for the case number to check what CEAC showed on it - obviously had not realized we had a way of confirming or refuting the claim!

I still don't understand F-lan's case so if Britsimon can give us an indication of what he thinks went wrong it would be helpful. There was a case before of someone where the selectee letter had an error but all the forms were correct so that did not lead to denial.

Re F-Lan, he has sent me a screenshot that shows his eDV confirmation page and the 1NL.

Let's say his name is John Smith.

The eDV shows his entry as Smith, John - exactly as you would expect.

The 1NL has his name (above the address and after the "Dear") as "NFN John Smith" and "Dear NFN John Smith".

Check out the image linked below. There is a checkbox under each name, and the NFN is printed when someone has selected "No First Name". These fields are process by computers, so I would be certain F-Lan made that mistake, KCC don't retype anything. The Confirmation on the entry makes sense (i.e. not showing the firstname), and the first clue of the error was the NFN (No First Name) on the 2NL. However, it is OBVIOUS that is you provide a middle name, and say there is no first name, then the name provided as the middle name is actually your firstname.

However, all submitted cases are checked for duplicate entries, so they may believe that F-Lan tried to enter with John as the firstname and John as the middlename (in a second entry). If F-Lan did not do that, then yes I think he has been badly judged. The CO could have put him on AP and put the case back for checks on John Smith, but for some reason he decided not to do that. Accra have a lot of denials, I don't doubt this case would have been approved elsewhere.

Thanks and as stated In my email to you. I knew the implication of multiple entries so it was a no no for me never did that and as you rightly said the Co could have checked for multiple entries. Let's see how it goes. Thanks

 

[jay_on_ice]

That obviously is a DV2011 selectee, we're talking DV2014. That means COs are becoming more strict and paying much more closer attention to cases. While I'm still certain the CO in @F-Lan's case made a wrong call and could have been a bit more understanding in view of the fact that the OP didn't present documents with an additional name other than what he wrote on his forms, you can't use the decision of a 2011 CO as a yardstick. At the end of the day, each situation will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

that's ture. ..it gets harder every year. ..
