DV 2015 Winners Meet Here

I think this has mostly been covered. But one more time....

You have two choices. Delay your processing (Option A) or not (Option B).

Option A - unlock your DS260 to avoid being scheduled in just your name (perhaps phone KCC rather than just email). Get married. Resubmit the 260 with for you and your husband.
Option B - Don't unlock. Wait until married. Email KCC with a copy of the marriage cert, follow their instructions. Try and get your new hubby in the embassy for the interview.

Option B is a little harder this year compared to before. In the past, someone could submit their spouses forms (and corrections to their own) with the marriage cert by email. Since the 260 is online, I don't know how you will provide your husbands details. For that reason, and given that you have plenty of time, I recommend Option A.

Hi,kindly comment on this extract of email they sent me way back in June 16 "
Thank you for your inquiry.

For KCC to unlock your Form DS-260 for updating, in response to your request, please be advised that we will be answering these requests according to the order in which they are submitted. It could take up to a few weeks before you hear from us that your DS-260 has been unlocked. We will send you an email once we have unlocked the form and you can update your information.

Please be assured that any delay in unlocking your form will not impact your appointment date, as appointment dates are set based upon your case number becoming current. (Further details about what this means are available in the Visa Bulletin on www.travel.state.gov.) The first appointments will not begin until October 2014, so there will be ample time for you to correct your information in time for a consular interview.

We will update you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Actually with Option A, I believe I've read from one of the official sources (unfortunately I don't recollect which one at the moment) that unlocking the DS form will not cause a delay in scheduling. What I'm not certain about though is if KCC will still go ahead and schedule anyone who is current even if they've not re-submitted their application. I need to find that source and go over it again to get a better understanding.

I figured out that it's really rough to search for a clue to keep my hope for having an interview with a high CN like 42XXX

I'm waiting for the last VB for 2014 with curiosity. I think the last VB Will give a better prediction about 2015. Anyway there is a lot of facts which are still unrevealed but i can not help it.

I've read all the posts about predictions and statistics about past lotteries. But from my side DV-2015 progress is still uncertain.

Anyway i want to ask a question about the financial expectations of the CO

How much money in the bank account will be ok for a good financial record for a family of 4 persons (2 kids aging 3 and 5 and parents)
Do owned vechiles and apartment count. ( with a signed paper of value or worth)

I'm asking because i'm not planning to sell anything until i get the visa.

Thanks for replies

The financial requirement for a family your size is $24k. You can use a combination of financial proof such as bank account statements, shares and so on. Real estate equity certainly helps.
 
Thanks for the reply Britsimon.

I've read comments in other forums saying that the CO want to see cash in bank rather than seeing documents about belongings. Anyone has knowledge about this ??
 
Dear all,
does it have any impact on my case if I send ds-260 unlocking request to KCCDV and edit some of the data I fill up on the form?

thanks in advance

1- you will receive your 2nd NL this month around the 20th, because you will be current in october.
2- the EDV website goes down sometimes don't worry, it will be working soon.

Also make sure your print out your 1st and 2nd nl when its available.
Good luck

Cash is best. Next is semi liquid assets, but it is an overall picture. So if you are reasonably established, have various assets and a good work history/skill/ profession then you won't have a problem. At the end of the day, you have to ave your own realistic plan to support yourself and your family. $24k is not a lot of money to resettle a family of four in America.
 
I've some questions guys i hope I can get a clear answers because i'm really confused.
1- I'm DV 2015 CN: apr AF28xxx, when my interview will be scheduled ?
2- after submitting the DS 260 form I hope I didn't make any mistakes, I recently applied for a residence visa in portugal I've got a scholarship for a master degree there for one year ? and the things start to be unclear for me and i really don't want to change my visa interview location which I had chosen on my DS 260.
3- after getting a residence for 1 year in EU country it will creat in problems for my isa application because i didn't mention that on y DS and didn't apply for the residence that time !
Many Thanks
Cheers
 
Your residence, citizenship, location and immigration status in other countries does not matter. As long as you are eligible for the DV you can have your CP either in Portugal or your home country. If it's early enough you can change the interview location by contacting KFC and have it where it's more suitable for ya.

I am in the USA on an H1 visa - my wife is a DV2014 selectee and we are going through the aos process. No, we (mods or regulars) don't get any benefits for being here - many people who are here were helped by others and are staying around to "pay it forward".

Come on Simon! Remember we got busted? Let's stick to the 'truth' about us being a bunch of law students from India who are being paid stipends to practice our classroom learnings here by pretending to help people, ehy? Oh, we shouldn't forget to mention the fact that you're about to open your own law firm in Boston ;):D
