Tell me more about the embassy change - that could be very significant for AS region if it has a positive effect on AP. What was the change and why did it happen?

most Iranian has been switched from Ankara to Abu Dhabi or Yerevan embassy
Without any reason they just found out in 2nd letter
Just one of them has been switched from Yerevan to Ankara
Everybody surprised
We thought May be it's a crowded season for Ankara.

Actually mine was Ankara in 1st letter but when I was filling Ds-260 I changed it to Abu Dhabi and now it is Abu Dhabi in 2nd letter too.
But those who their embassy have been changed to Abu Dhabi or Yerevan ,they say at first their were Ankara . One of them was Ankara has changed his to Yerevan but now again is Ankara in his 2nd letter

OK - I think that is significant - it probably represents an attempt to clear more cases for Iran than last year.

If you check the league table from DV2014 (link below) you will see that cases processed in Ankara or Abu Dhabi only had a 59% issued rate. AP and Ready (which were often AP cases) were about 20% each. Yerevan however seemed much more likely to get issued. Only 15% on AP and 10% on ready. Overall issued rate was 71%. All 3 embassies had similar numbers of cases to process but Yerevan produced more winners (actually Yerevan had the fewest cases of the 3 and issued the most).

So - the cases that got moved to Yerevan may have just got some good news and the ones still at Ankara might benefit if that means they have more time to process the remaining cases.

The 2NL is probably based on the original entry. The 2NL spelling hasn't made any difference to your case one way or the other.
 
Hello all:

Is anyone knowledgeable about if they (CO) reserve visas for ppl who are on hold for AP? Or, in other words, may visas simply expire while someone's on hold for AP?

Thx.

As far as I know, your visa remains available till the end of the month. If your AP is not resolved before the end of the month, the visa gets sent back to the pool and is allocated to someone else. You still have a chance to get a new visa allocated to you once your AP is resolved so long as visas are not exhausted. However, the chances of getting a new visa allocated to you are slim towards the end of the fiscal year (i.e. September and maybe even August).

All you need to have from your sponsor at the time of interview is an AoS accompanied by copy of passport/LPR document and W2 tax information paper. Your host can send you the filled and signed I-134 form through postal service including the above supporting documents so that you may present them at the time of interview only if you are asked to show.
The police certificate question is already answered.
 
@viki viki , it depends on where you are interviewing. Perhaps have a look at this link first and review. This will tell you everything you need to know about the process.

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/diversity-visa/if-you-are-selected.html

With your specific question, go to this link and scroll to the bottom of the page where is says 'Additional Embassy and Consulate Instructions'

http://travel.state.gov/content/vis...re-selected/prepare-supporting-documents.html

That will have information on your specific location.
 
Thanx aloy
