It isn't clear which address we are talking about - current address or the USA ones. You can make a change at the moment by email KCC and asking them to unlock your DS260. Make the change and resubmit the form.

If you are talking about the address in the US on your form, you can just change that at the interview.
You don't have to update the job info.
I don't see a reason to unlock unless I misunderstood.

What addres are you talking about @mrtolix???

Could that unlock/update cause any delay @Britsimon ?

Changing the USA addresses causes no delay. Changing a home address can do if it means additional background checks are required (new country).

As Susie says you can change the USA address at the interview, or change ahead of time - either way is fine.
 
Thaks for your messages @Britsimon @SusieQQQ and @Cornelio, i already sent the email to unlock my DS260 and they did it, now reading again and again i found some doubts that i would like to ask you, because im not sure what to write:

  • Document type: It should be my passport number right?
  • Permanent Address: I have a relative that lives in the US, but he is not an US Citizen yet, however some people have told me to give a POBOX address to recieve that documents.
  • Number of Educational Institutions Attended: I attended to one university but i have two diplomas, one from a 5 years of study (Bachelor) and another one for six months like a post degree, however if i select one institution i cant write both education experiences.
  • Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law? Most important, i have my vaccines but im not sure about this, i spoke with the doctor authorized by the us embassy and he told me that i need to have vaccines to take the medical exam.
  • Do you want the Social Security Administration to issue a Social Security number and a card? i dont know what to say, but i say yes, because the SSN and card is a part of it.
About my wife i have the same question but in her case i have this particular doubt:
  • Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry? My wife never been in the US, and she requested the tourist visa once four years ago, but the officer denied her application at the interview, im not sure what to write, because as i understand the question means that if her visa was refused or an officer at the port of entry denied her entry.

  • Surnames at Birth: Im not sure if that means my mothers surnames.

1. Passport number
2. Use the relative's address. His status doesn't matter
3. Select one, select two, doesn't really matter since it's the same institution
4. You can select No. You'll present the vaccination record to the Panel Doctor who will use it to determine what additional vaccines you'll need.
5. Select Yes
6. Answer Yes. Your wife's visa petition was denied, so the answer is 'yes'
7. Your mother's surname at birth, before she got married.

I just went last week and had no vaccines. There isn't any in Venezuela. However, we had to find all three missing for our daughter in order to have her vaccine record complete.(MMR, Hepatitis and Meningococcal).

Hi @mrtolix ! The answers should be as per above indication by @Sm1smom . PO Box is not allowed by USCIS as a valid address; put your relative's. If you have no vaccination record available, no problem; tell that to the panel doctor - he will be able to give you the shots or issue a waiver in case the vaccines are not available.
Regarding your wife, you should answer your wife was denied the visa. Better be always honest; I do not think this particular subject could prevent your case from being approved. The surnames at birth refer to your wife's "as single" family names (in case she has taken yours after marriage). My wife did not take my surname so I answered this question with her same last name as in her passport.

Good luck with the entire process, man!
 
Hello I'm from Panama and this is my second year applying for the DV. Crossing finger that this year will have some good news for me. Good to see a lot of people Venezuela are winning since there is a large community from Venezuela here in Panama. I have been checking this forum for almost 2 years now and decided to open the account lol
 
Thanks to all of you @Guarapa @Britsimon @Cornelio @SusieQQQ i requested to modify my DS-260 and they unlocked only my application, however i need to modify my wife's and doughter too, how do i request to unlock their form, because i sent an email from my wife's email account and they told her that "When inquiring about the status of a Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. " i not sure if i have to request it from my email telling my and their data too. thanks

It does not matter whose email you send it from, but you must include the principal applicants details exactly as they said. And then be VERY clear about which cases you want unlocked. Also be aware that if you get a reply within minutes of sending your email it is most likely a standard automatic reply, which, by coincidence says the phrase you mention.
 
Another question to my friends from Venezuela, how do you get your "Certificado de Antecedentes Penales" im not from Caracas and it's difficult to me to travel to the capital city due my work
 
@mrtolix ! First of all, when i emailed KCC to unlock my DS260 i wrote in the same email that i needed to update one of my kid's DS260 too. I just requested them to unlock both and they did. We are a party of five and when they replied there they were the two of them unlocked and the other three locked. Try to keep all the mail in one account, my suggestion.

The Police Certificate (Antecedentes Penales) is only obtainable in Caracas. If you do have any relatives or friends here you just have to prepare an authorization and upload it along the scanned ID. Both files have to be .pdf. If not, i could recommend a friend and neighbour of mine, who has helped a couple friends with that same issue. In a week everything is done, even with the apostille and translated.
 
i recieved the email unlocking my form and i already did it, problem solved! :D now i have another doubt about the Affidavit of support... I must show my bank account or financial statements to prove that i wont be a public charge,Could a car paper or Real estate properties work?

Hi @mrtolix . I'm glad you had success in unlocking your DS260.
Bank statements are a good proof you can present to support your case. Real estates or car ownership are not of much help. Please check the @Britsimon blog entry about Affidavit of Support and financial supporting statements here: http://britsimonsays.com/all-about-public-charge-affidavit-of-support-i-134/. It is a very good resource in helping you plan what to take to the interview. Go through it and then come back with more questions if you still have any.

Again, good luck!
