DV 2017 Selectees

Hey guys -- hope all is well. I hold both Venezuelan and Italian citizenship. As I said previously, I am living in London and chose my interview location here. Since I was born in Venezuela, I applied to the DV as a Venezuelan. However, I will need to show to the Embassy that I'm in legal status in London as an Italian citizen (hence will need to show both passports).

My full name on the Venezuelan passport (two names, two last names) matches the birth certificate and the DV entry. However, my Italian passport does not list my second last name. Is this an issue, and should I do something about it ahead of my interview? Thanks

It won't be a surprise in London - they are used to the Spanish naming convention of two last names.
 
@Britsimon I know you have said in the past Sydney interviews are on Tuesdays. Are the London ones on any particular day of the week? Or it's probably busy enough that there's no designated day?
 
Hi guys, I had a couple of questions on police certificates. I lived in Venezuela until I moved to the U.S. for school when I was 18, so I definitely need a police certificate from Venezuela. Now, my questions were:

(1) I studied abroad in Brazil for exactly 5 months during my college years. Do I need a police certificate from there? They're quite hard to get if you're not Brazilian and you're not in the country. I understand you need one if you lived there over 12 months

(2) I'm currently in London and will interview here potentially in October or November. I'll have resided here for 4 months at most by the potential time of my interview. Do I need a police certificate from here? I figured despite the short amount of time, I will be physically here so most likely I'll need one

Thanks again!

It is a scam. There is no agency involved and there is no email communication.
 
This agency help him to fill out registration form for dv lottery program, and put their email address on that form

What the OP has reported is not quite a scam in the way you're thinking- there are indeed agencies who assist or submit the eDV entry on behalf of people, only to turn around and demand an exorbitant amount of money from the eventual selectees.

Does your brother know the email address that was used? He doesn't need to have access to the email itself, he only needs to know what it was. If he does, he can retrieve his confirmation number himself - go through the following link for further the guidance on how:

https://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC/(S(qgyh0c3hrctrpxrlfc2bzci5))/Help.aspx

The question though is did he contact the agency and requested them to submit the entry on his behalf or was it done without his knowledge to start with? If the entry was submitted without his knowledge, there's a high possibility his information might have be wrongly submitted and the eventual outcome of such a case will most likely be a denial.

Oh sorry I didn't know about it. Thanks for the info.
 
Hello,
My CN is AF20170003****
I still haven't filled my DS 260 yet because I am planning to get engaged.
If I submit DS 260 in september, is it possible that I won't be scheduled for an interview because I was late in submitting DS 260 and my CN is high?
Do you think it's best to submit DS 260 as single, then email KCC once I get married to unlock DS 260 and change my marital status? or should I wait until I get married and submit the DS260 for both of us?
If I submit DS 260 end august, what month should I expect the interview?

Thank you

Submitting your DS260 form in September is not too late. However if all you're planning on doing is to get engaged, you might as well go ahead and submit the form now - a fiancée cannot be added as a derivative. If you're getting married in September then you can list your spouse as a derivative and submit the forms for both of you.

That's a low CN which most likely will be current in October - so assuming you submitted your DS260 form back in May, you should be getting an October interview date.

It's a good number that will probably be current in October BUT your late submission may mean a November/December interview.
