Thank you so much for the quick reply, could you in any how send me a link of anyone stating this bluntly and in an obvious quote?
I would be so grateful.

Did you read the executive order? It’s clearly stated in the exclusions, the order applies to people who do not have an immigrant visa by the effective date of the order (11:59pm EST on 23 April).

The EO is the official source. It clearly states IVs issued prior to the effective date of the EO are exempt, so not sure what other blunt quote you’re looking for.

PS scanning back at least a few pages in a forum is often useful as questions have often been answered already...

Thank you for talking and giving advice regarding those who got the visa set to expire soon! Unfortunately I live in Europe and I can't travel in the U.S I tried to reach a lawyer, but didn't recommend to move 14 days into another country non banned and try to travel from there. The point is the consulate and embassies don't extend the visas, that's I have been told by the consulate in Naples and the US embassy in London. As soon as the visa expire and they're open we have to get a new one...they just said in the email that we have to redo medical check and explain why we couldn't go.
Now who knows if those who got the visa expired somehow are prioritized? Sorry for the others, but I hope so!

I depend by Naples’ embassy too. Are you Italian? When did you write them?

Ofcourse I did. And even watched every single immigration lawyer on YouTube, even my dearest guide through my journey BritSimon the great.
But I couldn't find the admission part for diversity visas holders anywhere.
Do you think you can find me a source referring to this directly? I will appreciate it.
Thanks again.

A diversity visa is an immigrant visa....

The process of "extending" a visa is actually issuing a new visa - that is why they charge the fees again and require a new medical.
 
Hi all,
I stay in the US now, and I’ve summited DS 260 in Jan. But before shelter in place I moved to another address, so I asked to unlock my address. So my questions are:

1. Before my interview location is in Taiwan, now I want to get my interview in the US. Even though my DS 260 is unlock now, and my current address is the US, but still shows my interview location is in Taiwan. I’ve send e-mail to KCC and wait for a response. Just wondering is anyone knows how can I do by myself from the form 260
2. My boyfriend and I decided to get marry, however, during shelter in place we can’t get marry, if later I unlock again and add he in, does it affect interview process?
Thanks!!

1. You can’t change the interview location on the form, only way to change interview option is to inform USCIS which you’ve already done. Interview location will always show what you previously selected even after informing KCC of your change in plan, what is shown doesn’t matter after that.

2. You should expect your AOS petition to be heavily scrutinized especially if you’re getting married shortly before filing AOS.

Thanks for reply this information to me.
For the first question, should I just resubmit my form now or wait until KCC reply to me?
Since my application is unlocked and current, do they send it to Taiwan or hold it?
Second question is for both of us will take a risk or only my boyfriend will take a risk?
Thank you!!

1. Didn’t you say you already contacted KCC to let them know you wish to change to AOS? If you already did that, your case file will not get sent to Taiwan, there’s no point in forwarding it if you’re going through AOS. You might as well resubmit the form now.
2. The risk is to both of you.

Sorry I didn’t explain clearly. I’ve summited it in Jan and asked for unlock in the end of March. I have not resubmitted it since March. Since yesterday VB is became current, I decided to change my interview location to the US. So today I sent a email to KCC and waiting for a response. I can’t change the interview location by myself, should I resubmit it now or wait for their reply then resubmit my form? But I’m afraid of if I resubmit late then I’ll lose the chance of interview.
Thanks!
 
I found this document on AILA, requesting a halt on the immigration ban. Positive news for the DV lottery? Any thoughts?
