DV 2020 All Selectees

Hi Guys,

As some of you know I got the email requesting for additional documents, I have all ready except the police certificate from the country where I live now.
Since the police certificate expires in 6 months and based on the statistics and my CN AF334XX number, I would expect my number to become current somewhere between May and July and the police certificate would expire by that time.
To avoid requesting the certificate a 2nd time I'm thinking about waiting until Feb-Mar to request it and submit the documents, does this make sense?

Pretty sure the police certificate expires after a year.

I’m curious, on another thread she says he is out of status but working on asylum EAD, even though he does not have any “life threats” himself, so an asylum applicant can apply for anyone as derivative regardless if they themselves need asylum? And his out of status won’t affect the DV process?

I don’t know much about the asylum process, I have no idea as to the derivative application requirements for asylum petitions.

I don’t know if OP’s was added to OP’s asylum petition before they went out status, it’s possible the spouse is currently on asylum pending status even though OP says spouse is out of status - OP’s posting doesn’t quite make that clear. And anyway, the spouse needs to be selected first, no guarantee they will be but I see no harm in submitting an eDV entry.

Im the main applicant in the asylum. I just include him in my application. Anyways thank you.
 
The police certificate in my country expires in 2 weeks, so what people do is that they send one to KCC, and then get the new cert for the interview. But in this case they need to bring both at the interview.

I’m the main applicant on my asylum application not my husband. My husband came to usa on f1 and he graduated here. I included him in my asylum application.

I’m not going to apply for Dv lottery because I’m going to wait on my asylum decision and I just want my husband to apply for it.

Regardless, your husband has to include your information on his eDV entry submission. If he’s selected, you can decide then if you wish to proceed as his derivative or not.

And you both should be prepared for your relationship to be deeply scrutinized if you choose to not process as his derivative if he’s selected, considering he’s already a derivative on your asylum petition.

That still doesn’t answer my question but anyway as mom says, IF he gets selected you can start worrying about ability to proceed at that stage.

(Normally it’s pointless for someone out of status to apply for DV because they can’t adjust, and they’ll face a ban for overstay if they go home to process assuming overstay longer than 6 months so they can’t get a visa before fiscal year end. I can’t figure out if this also applies to your husband.)

He didn’t include me in his dv application because I’m waiting on my asylum.
 
Ze33 said:
He did. But there wasn’t any questions in the application which asked about my details.

Um, yes there are, this is what is required:

Current marital status: (1) Unmarried, (2) married and my spouse is NOT a U.S. citizen or U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), (3) married and my spouse IS a U.S. citizen or U.S. LPR, (4) divorced, (5) widowed, or (6) legally separated. Enter the name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, and country of birth of your spouse, and a photograph of your spouse meeting the same technical specifications as your photo.

Your husband answered yes to having a spouse then didn't enter your details. Confusion galore
The DV entrant form I know, if you answer yes to having a spouse then the next page comes automatically with a space to enter your spouse's name
