Hello every one. I am new on this forum, and here is my queries, please anyone can help.
My CN is 2015AF00014,9** of course I will be current in the next VB.
I am a BURUNDI National, residing in Swaziland, and in My DS 260 form, I chose to haave my interview in Johannesburg, SA since all dv cases for residents in this region are processed in JHN.
I submitted my DS 260 on 21 May 2014,reopened it on 9 Sept 2014, Resubmitted 15 Sept 2014 with interview location changed from Mumbai to JHN( I had entered the lottery while studying in India but I left there)
The follwing are my queries
1.I understand that having interview in a third country like the case of mine, increases the chances of AP ( On my Side I have Genuine docs but in DV process the worst thing I fear is undergoing AP).Would anyone advise me if I Could shift again to Nairobi Where my country's dv cases are processed in order to avoid possible AP?
2.Many people have claimed their numbers being current but not receive 2nd NL, but most of them found to have submitted DS 260 too late. If we talk about late submission, does it mean that reopened cases are not concerned. Mine was submitted 21 May, reopened 9 Sept, resubmitted 15 Sept, any one can predict my Chaances of getting 2 NL in this Oct 2014.
3.Another serious issue is about Police records.Before leaving India, I applied for a Police Clrearence Certificate( PCC) at the District where I resided for 3 years. but police officers there, are not familiar with these docs.
The PCC I got there was mal formulated and contains many grammatical mistakes, it does not show the time I resided there and does not show a validity.To sum up, it does not comform the requirements of Dept of State. That PCC states only that THERE IS NO ADVERSE INFORMATION AGAINST Mr......and I think this may cause me prob at interview.Unfortunately the Reciprocity by Country States that PCC are not available to Non-Indian applying abroad.. Indian Embassies can not help me.
Any advice of what to do plz...
4.Assuming that I go to Johannesburg, anyone can tell me special procedures there, wether I-134 needed or not, what about fees for medicals9estimates), Vladek and others have passed there..plz your experience is needed

I answered most of this in the other thread.
Opening the DS should not affect scheduling date.
If the dvselectee guidelines say you can't get a PCC from India if you are outside the country, you'll be fine without one.

dear all
i'm new to this forum as well.
my case no. is 2015AS000010xx (from iran)
my case is current for october but still has not received my 2nd letter for interview. ofcourse since i found out
my lottery result in august so sent my app forms on 16Aug.
i know may be because of this reason has not received my 2nd letter yet.
in persian immigration sites people say this year(according to online app form) they do FBI check before interview and this is the main reason of delay in interview schedule.
do u believe in such idea or not?
appreciate if receive any opinion
thx alot

With the exception of electronic submission of DS-260 form which replaced the old paper DS-230 form, I don't think there have been any changes in the procedure used by KCC.
The main reason for you not getting your second notification letter is simply because you submitted your DS-260 forms a bit late. The initial flood of DS-260 forms seems to have caused significant delays at KCC. People have reported delays that could go up to 3 months in processing their DS-260 forms.
Now keep in mind that KCC schedules interviews only once a month which usually happens a few days after the visa bulletin is released. So even if they finish processing your forms a day or two after they are done with the scheduling round for the month, you will have to wait for the next scheduling round to get an interview scheduled.
Now based on the pattern we have seen for KCC processing time, your forms won't be done processing until November in which case you will be notified in November for an interview in January 2015. However, there is also a slight possibility that the backlog of the forms at KCC has decreased in which case, you might get your second notification letter next month (usually after the middle of the month) for an interview in December. So, keep checking but if you don't get your second letter next month, then you have nothing to worry about and you will get it the following month as it's just a processing time issue. You can also contact KCC and inquire about your case.

There is always a basic background check done before interview, but - I guess because a lot of people don't show up for interviews or get refused for other reasons - those who need a more intensive background check only get that done after the interview. I don't know whether your rumours refer to the usual procedure (on which case,nothing's changed) or the more intensive one, but I can't see why they would change procedure on that as it could simply mean a lot of wasted time for them given the large % of people who do not arrive for interviews. More likely, someone didn't bother finding out from KCC what the reason for delay was and made this up as a logical sounding reason...

No you shouldn't have to do that. The result of the x-ray is already included in the entire medical report itself.

Hi I have a weird situation and hope somebody can help me.
I won dv2015 and my number is 2015EU00018XXX
I submitted ds 260 in july and identified myself as single.
Then in september, I included my girlfriend as my dependant (spouse)
and identified her as single as well. Moreover, we are not married.
She is not in US and I am in US on an F-1 visa.
Is it at all possible to try to get greencard for both of us?
if not, what should I do to, at least, get a greencard for myself?

She can't be your dependent if there is no legal relationship ...you are not married. If you want a green card for her that badly, get married.
No-one here can tell you what you "should" do. Most people would think you are crazy not to get a green card if you have that opportunity, of course.

You need to take her off your DS260, do that ASAP! Then go and marry her as SusieQQQ suggested...
