Ok Thanks
So After Filling the DS 260 and everything , i was going through some past dv forums on this site and i came across a statement that says you have to present a police certificate if you have lived overseas for more than a year!!and i am currently residing in Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on a student visa and i have chosen to do the interview in my country!!! so getting the police report is not the problem!! the problem is northern Cyprus is not a recognized country in the world(Including the USA) except by turkey.so is going to be a problem??? what do you advise me to do???
The Only Problem Is That I Don't Think I will Be able to Do The Interview In Nicosia As I don't have A Shengen Visa(which they require as they are the official consulate of Cyprus ).What I Have Is That Of TRNC(Northern Cyprus Student Permit.)I advise you to read the official instructions as well as forums. Forums are helpful,but following the official instuctions is what will get you a visa. The official instructions are linked from your selection letter. Read them thoroughly. Don't just rely on forums.
https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/CY.html ..I'm not sure if this link will take you directly to the correct section, if not choose "other records" from the list on the left hand side.
Unfortunately - unless you interview in Nicosia - it looks like you will be placed on AP given the guideline for other embassies to consult with them in individual cases of people who have lived in Turkish- controlled Cyprus.

My case number is 2017OC000004xx. When do you guys think my interview will be? I'm currently living in Canada so it is defaulting my interview location to be Montreal, however I will going back to Australia from mid-Dec 2016 to April 2017, and then returning to Canada. I am hoping my interview will be scheduled early so I can attend it in Canada before I go to Australia. Does anyone know how hard/easy it will be to change my interview date and location after it has been set up?
Cheers!
Hello
I've been selected for dv 2017 from ethio. But Im having this confusion in the ds 260 form regarding the question ' have I ever been to the us?' Coz I've been to the US when I was like 1 but I don't have any supporting data. So If I answer yes then I don't know if I was issued a visa and this might lead to other process. N if I answer no, they might have the record. So any suggestions
So should I say that I was issued a visa coz my mother was the one who was issued, I didn't even had a passportAnswer yes. Explain in the interview if asked.
Sure. Do that. In reality - they won't care. You probably didn't do too much at one year old...So should I say that I was issued a visa coz my mother was the one who was issued, I didn't even had a passport
Thanks a lot !!!Sure. Do that. In reality - they won't care. You probably didn't do too much at one year old...
how many selectees are there for dv 2017?
And I Have seeb the link You Have Included and I haven't found any thing that is related with TRNC!!
Ok Thank youThere is a whole page on it. From the link I gave you and the section I told you to click on. Seeing as you couldn't find it even so, I have reproduced it below. It gives numbers to contact for all the civil documents. Furthermore
I suggest you contact the embassy in Nicosia and ask them for advice, given that wherever you do the interview will have to refer back to them before issuing a visa. (Incidentally other people do sometimes have to get visas to travel to countries where they are doing interviews - you having to get a Schengen visa would not be the only case. ) Anyway I know you want to do the interview in Addis, but I really suggest you contact Nicosia to ensure that whatever they tell Addis you need, you will have. Otherwise, you risk further delays - potentially running out of time - or possibly denial, depending what you do or don't provide and how patient Addis is to get what Nicosia tells them they need.
Reproduced direct from the links provided earlier - I had to remove some numbers to meet forum rules for posting:
