DV 2020 All Selectees

jackwe12 said:
We had the interview on the 17th of September in Sydney, and I just got the visa issued.

I mean it's quite messy this year.
Firstly they scheduled with a wrong date and then confirmed the right date at the last minute.
Then they asked for a new police certificate, but a couple of days later they told us no need for a new one as long as it's valid.
Finally, it's approved and issued!

Here's the timeline:

05/05/2020 The interview has been canceled
09/10/2020 The Interview has been rescheduled
09/17/2020 Interviewed
09/28/2020 Visa issued!

Thanks for all you guys here !

When are you going to enter u.s? Did us embassy told specific date?
 
Hi everyone,
Could someone please tell me where to find a checklist on what is needed for the interview? Thanks a mil!
 
I urgently need your advice! My case just got scheduled for tomorrow in the AM and the embassy is in a city four hour drive away from where I live. The CEAC status is “in transit”. What would you suggest me to do?

Is a green card worth an 8 hour round trip & a night in a cheap hotel to you?

Where are you from? What's your CN?

Check with locals by all means, because sometimes consulates require some documents that are not officially listed. For example, if you are single, our consulate requires official document proving unmarried status, this is probably specific detail only for my country, because I have not seen such requirement on the list.

Yes, it definitely is! But I just looked up what “in transit” means and it seems like the embassy hasn’t approved the appointment yet?

This is not a normal situation. If you are told you have an appointment, go. CEAC is not always updated properly or promptly.

What ? I never heard of something as ridiculous as this. I noticed you have an EU case number. If you don't mind, could you please tell me which country are you living in ?
This is solely for my curiosity. I would like to know which EU country asks for a document proving unmarried status :))).

I am from Georgia.
Our public service hall issues the document that proves that I'm not currently married, has never been and don't have children out of marriage. This document is required at the interview, there been cases temporarily going to AP if it was missing.

Thank you so much! I’m wondering why they haven’t states the bank statement - isn’t it that important anymore?

You are welcome, wish you all the best luck!
Yes, it is very important, bring your banks statement.

I guess that's your 2nd NL, I don't know how it looks like, I've never received it. But print our everything, winning letter, DS260 confirmation. Take whatever you think might be important. It's better to have more, than less)

Also note that translations are required in some cases.

there is no deadline to publish the instructions related to the dv program. why is dv 2022 taking so long?
Click to expand...
It could be the pandemic. It could be other things. Whatever’s causing the delay doesn’t really affect entrants because results won’t be out until next year. (There’s a DV22 thread for this).
 
I want to thank everyone from the AILA, Kuck, Brit n just everyone for all the tips n pieces of information.

Got my DV visa issued in Jerusalem, Israel on 30th September !!!
Praying and hoping Judge Mehta throws a lifeline for everyone. I was not a named plaintiff. Good luck.
