Wow! So fast. My wife's case number is in your range AS7xxx and DS-260 submission firstly on late May 2019 and we secondly did unlock to correct some infor. and add social media addresses then submitted again in mid July 2019. Till now, we haven't yet received mail from KCC requesting for document uploading. We are in a patient manner. Ist it correct that your CN is 7xxx? I'm just afraid you confuse with CN 7xx or event at other region between AS and SA.

Great to see you here! Exactly, I get that same what you mentioned on DS-260 login and I already did it. Surprisingly, I feel that you are from KH as my thought through your name. If so, I just would like to get some experiences from you if possible. My wife has a chance to win DV2020 lottery and now we are in process to interview. So if you don't mind helping our family, please help share your experiences for the whole process. I'm appreciated to hear from you. You could directly contact me by tepmanith@gmail.com. Hope you would kindly help me. Can I help your email address? Thanks,
 
Hello everyone, I have a question regarding my ds-260 form, so I am confused what should I fill up about "
Provide the following information on your last U.S. visa". I used to enter US in 2009 with a J-1 visa as an Au Pair and after my 2 years period was over I changed within the US my visa to F-1(student visa). In my passport I have had only the J-1 visa, but my last status was as a student. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
Hi Everyone,
My case number is AS108xx and I'm from a banned country, and I'm in the process of getting another passport within the coming 3-4 months so how can I delay my interview till I get my new passport?
I have submitted my family forms but not the principal applicant and I reopened them again, is there any problem if I keep them open till later stage?

You asked same question back on July 27, and here’s the response Susie gave you back then.
 
Thanks for the quick response, my question now is slightly different.
1- I'm asking how can someone postpone his interview
2- what could happen if you reopen the DS-260 "for the dependance" and you delay on the submission I saw on the email I received from KCC that you have to update your form and send back soon.
3- for the CN AS 108xx any idea when it could be current?

1. Interview does not get scheduled without the principal applicant’s DS260 form, so postponing the interview isn’t even applicable.
2. Nothing is going to happen to the case. See response 1 ^^

If you haven't seen the response from July 27th, this is it

"I would say that as you have no chance until you get a passport from an unbanned country, and as you would anyway need to put\update those details in the ds260 for background check purposes, you may as well wait till you have that passport before submitting the DS"

As for unlocking to delay, I stand corrected. You can only have the form unlocked for a period of 1 month. So that won't help in delaying.

On the bright side, (I also stand corrected on this) you won't be scheduled until you submit your own form considering you are the principal applicant (assuming you had not submitted before but if you had, you only have 1 month with the form). For now, keep working on following up with your passport from an unbanned country.

You keep mentioning 1 month deadline for an unlocked form - where is this information coming from?
 
Hello.

I am a Selectee with a quite high number (EU44xxx). I don't expect my number to be current before Spring 2020. Nevertheless I would like to prepare form DS260 somehow.

My questions:

1. Is it possible to start filling out the form but NOT submitting it until I know my number will be current soon?
2. Is just filling it out (but not submitting) considered as Immigration Intent already?
3. We live in the US with temporary working visa. Can you travel to Europe for work after submitting DS260?

Thanks in advance!

I had seen this in previous years comments from this forum. The reason I put "I stand corrected" because it was never from the moderators but by members. It is comforting to know that there is no expiry once unlocked.

1. Yes, but why? Hold off for a few months (and even then you should decide whether you process via adjustment of status or CP).
2. No. Submission is the point.
3. Your real question is whether you can re-enter the USA on your existing visa after submitting the DS260. That answer is yes.
 
Hello Simon, thanks for your reply.

Yes, but why?
Click to expand...
What do you mean? Why I want to prepare DS260 but not submitting it? To have enough time to enter and check all data are accurate (A lot of our documents are in our home country). We don't want to show our immigration intent before we can be sure our number is going to be current in time.

We are leaning towards AOS as we have 3 young kids. I am still learning everything about the AOS process and the spreadsheet this forum is kindly providing is very helpful. But we will go this route only if we can be sure there is enough time left after our number is current. But this is a discussion for the AOS thread.

Your real question is whether you can re-enter the USA on your existing visa after submitting the DS260. That answer is yes.

You are right. That answers my question.

Thanks for your time!

Thank you so much for your help and here is the email i received from KCC for the unlocked forms with no mentioning for any period!
"Your request to unlock the DS-260(s) you indicated is now complete. Unlocked DS-260’s can be edited on the Consular Electronic Application Center website. You may now make any necessary changes. Please note that unlocked DS-260s should be resubmitted as soon as the necessary changes are made. The failure to resubmit an unlocked DS-260 may affect the processing of your case, including the scheduling of your interview."

Since the reopened forms are not for the principal applicant, do you see any harm if i keep them open for three months? and how many times i can reopen the same form?
 
Hello I am a new member. I just went online to try and fill my DS260. However all I have is my case number but there is a column that requires me to provide my VISA CONFIRMATION NUMBER. Where can I find that?

If you forgot it, use the forgot confirmation link
How did you get your case number without a confirmation number
The number you entered on the ESC page to access your 1NL is your Confirmation number

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm a selectee for DV2020 from the Asia region. I hope to add my uncle's location as the location where I lived if I got my GC approved. but my brother was seeking asylum due to the fear to return back my country. so if I add my brother's location as my GC delivery and the living location in DS260 is it can be a negatively affect for my DV case or his asylum case? If affect, please explain to me what should I do.

Looking forward to a kind reply.

Thank You All.
 
Excuse me for posting my message for a second time, but it seems no one will answer my question, but I will give a last chance about that. Thank you in advance :)
