Thanks for your input @Karendi. It's quite a coincidence as I'm still reading the 2013 thread. I haven't reached your interview yet :D.
 
Ok DV2020. I have so many questions.
When I did my DV process we used to literally ship documents to KCC via DHL. I understand now all you guys do is scan.
1. how soon after scanning documents do we hear back that they have received documents?

2. Is it true that the hosts now have to give so many supporting documents to the DV winner so they can get their visa? Suppose they (host) can't provide the docs?

3. What happens if my baby daddy is not in my children's lives or mine. What should I say at the interview?

Thanks guys, like I said I have many questions

Yes, all we have to do is scan.

1. There seems to be no order with how soon one receives a reply. Typically one should wait for the document request from KCC after submitting the DS260. However, some people are still sending without the request and getting the confirmation email. So I'd say that's up to the person. It won't change how soon you'll be current if you have a high case number.

2. Yes, the sponsor has to provide the following :

1 Tax return of the previous year

2 Form of Affidavit Support (FORM I-134)

3 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) –
Tax return transcript from the previous year for each Affidavit of Support Available at: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

4 Passport Bio data Page

5 Copy of Certificate of Neutralization / Legal permanent Resident card
I am not sure of the last two.
If the sponsor cannot send the required documents, please look for another one. The sponsor can be different from the host.

3. If he's in the children's birth certificate, you will have to get a consent letter from him. If he's not, I gather one it isn't an issue. I'm not sure about the last point. Let's hear from the others.
