I think to add applicant means you did not state such applicant in your edv entry and for virtue of marriage u want to add her but in my situation i married before entering as such should be beneath the principal applicant. but if am wrong tell pls

Yes that is a problem. Your case will be denied.

Please be sure you understand the process before dispensing with advice. That is not how it must be. For a married selectee, the forms for the derivatives also show up, not just that of the principal applicant. The add applicant button is for those who had derivatives after the submission of the original eDV registration. It's not for people who were married before the registration but got entered as single to use in adding their spouse after their selection.
 
thanks for the answer.I have a friends ds260 where he has his name under the principal applicant section, his wifes name under the spouse and the childs name under the childrens colomn. Please i want to know if the original dventry ask of the name of the spouse and children if all were answered in yes

The eDV registration requires the names and photos of one's spouse and children. Your friend followed the instructions as provided, that's why his spouse and children are listed as derivatives and himself as the principal applicant. Your and your agent did not, so you're the only listed - principal applicant only with no derivatives. Your case will be denied at the interview as a result of that.
 
please if so then can i fill the 260 since i am the only applicant listed as single

Your best bet is to forget about this selection and try again for DV 2019 in Oct/Nov.

If you insist on processing this selection, you will be engaging in what is known as immigration fraud - since you will be claiming you're single and have no kids which is a lie. If your background check reveals this, you will be facing a lifetime ban from the US. If the background check some how misses and you get issued with a visa, you will never be able to bring your family to the US. If after coming to the US they now find out you misrepresented yourself in order to get your GC, that GC will be revoked and you will be deported.
 
Hello there. I am a selectee
My number is 38Xx. I have not filled the DS260 yet because I have to get a new passport. Was facing financial problems. Done it now. Should be in by month ending.

Question: When do you think it's possible for an interview if I apply by 15th August?

February/March.
 
A follow up, what do you reckon will be a reason for such a long time. I'm applying as a single lady and don't think I have so much be looked into.
 
They process the DS260 on a first come basis. So yours will be submitted into a queue with DS260s from around the world and it has to wait until someone from KCC touches it and processes it. Then, there is the actual processing time and background checks. Then, they schedule the interview, notification of which is always around 6 weeks before the interview (to allow sufficient time to get the medicals and police checks done).
 
Thanks Emily for your reply. I'm glad I came on this forum. You've been of a good help. Want to find out what goes into the background check. Criminal records or what? Thanks.

Different background checks take place from the US side (when you submit your DS, to check if there has ever been trouble in the US for you) and the local side (once your interview is scheduled). You have to submit a police/criminal record when you go for interview.
