DV 2020 All Selectees

Ah, personal attacks, the last refuge of those who have run out of reason. Sad.

P.S it’s not about being right for the sake of being right. It’s about wanting to ensure that people reading the forum understand what is a real risk, and what isn’t.

Hello I have an issue. My husband and I are separating. It supposed that he will go through the process with me, now I’m not so sure. What should I do? Is really necessary to get divorced before the interview or i can explain that he will not go to USA with me for that reason? I don't know what to do. I already sent my DS-260 (as a married couple of course) and sent the documents and I also received the ready to be scheduled email from KCC. I’m SA18xx.
 
What if I travel in a new country (safe, western EU country) after I have submitted DS-260? Will I need to unblock and add that info?

My answer is this (others will advise also)

It will depend on what you will decide with your husband. You can just ignore your differences and proceed the process and may be divorce later in the US

You can divorce before interview and update at the embassy

There are other options I'm not sure of so I will not mention them

It depends - are you the principal winner or his derivative?

If you are the principal then you can process without him, doesnt matter if his documents were already sent, if he doesnt show up for the interview he won't get the visa

If you are his derivative then you will not be able to process without him - if you are amicable enough to still process together and you both still want to move to the US then do it.

Are you the principal selectee? If yes, you can proceed to the interview without your spouse, if the decision has already been made for you guys to go through with your divorce. His absence, regardless of his already submitted document, will not impact your processing.

This is considered a fraudulent attempt at obtaining an immigration benefit. They cannot present themselves as a marriage couple if they’re already planning on getting divorced be it in their current country or in the US. The husband is no longer eligible to be presented as derivative in this case unless they’re no longer planning on getting divorced.

Any guidance we provide in this forum must conform to and abide by the immigration laws/rules.
 
Hi there - I have a question regarding the DS-260, specifically for the field "Have you ever been issued a US visa?" - I noted the most recent one I had (H-1B), however I also was previously on an F1 visa and can't recall if I should have included that or if the option to add multiple visas was even available. Do I need to unlock my DS-260 to include my F1 visa info or is the option to add multiple visas not even possible? Thanks for the guidance!
 
I had multiple visas and I have listed all of them. However, I have fulfiled DS-260 only recently (November) so I'm not sure how it looked before.
 
I sent a request to unlock DS-260 to KCC, they responded with an Auto Reply email which did't contain any confirmation that the DS-260 is now unlocked, it only contained general information such as "if you would like to check the status of your entry..etc".Do i expect to receive a confirmation from KCC that my DS-260 application is now unlocked?
I have another issue, I tried to log into CEAC website however it showed Sign in failed "Electronic Diversity Visa Confirmation Number is invalid", i am pretty sure that i entered the correct confirmation number..
 
Dear members, I'd like to get your advice.
My case no. EU28k, and in Oct. 2019 I've received a letter (should be 2NL) that starts with "Thank you for informing us that you plan to apply for adjustment of status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)". Considering that it's already 21k for EU, do you think I should start to prepare documents and payment for the DOS?
Thank you.

Well I managed to sign in,but i couldn't edit my DS-260 as it showed "Completed", i also noticed the newly added questions which were not there back in July when i filled the application.
So i am sorry to re-ask Do i expect to receive a confirmation from KCC that my DS-260 application is now unlocked so i can be able to edit the contents of the application?

Hi all, can you tell me what are the new questions about the ds260? I would like to unlock it to update it before the interview. I’m EU 289XX Thanks :)
 
I saw the new questions when i accessed my Ds260, they should have been added after October, but since then i have seen people being approved. I think for those who are not yet current should unlock and answer them, but us who are current we can't lets wait and see what is going to happen.
