? The very last visas for this fiscal year will be issued Sept 2020, that means the latest possible entry date is March 2021. It’s not very feasible to plan on “first half” 2021 unless you plan to do an activation trip and return later, which is probably you would have to do if you won’t be ready to move before 2021.

Given my relatively high number and based on the statistics my CN will go current somewhere between May and Jul 2020, I will probably need to do an activation trip then go back to Canada to get my self together then leave.
This raises a question I didn't think about, Let's pretend my interview is scheduled for June 2020 and my Visa got approved, my understanding is that I have 6 months starting from the day my visa got approved to go to the USA (please confirm if this is right) that means I have to go for activation before Dec 2020. Let's pretend I go in Nov 2020 to do the activation then go back to Canada to sort out my life here and plan to go to the USA, how long I can stay here in Canada after activation and without loosing my DV?

It is tight man, I have a company here and need to figure out how to handle it

I know what it means
Personally I'll take a month if my visa is successful, to handover all my clients in a good way to some of my competitors who'll equally give them value for their money
That's my plan, then wrap up the company and I already have a plan to equally hand over my few employees or compensate them some months pay for closing the company if they don't get somewhere before I travel

Your visa will be valid 6 months from the date of your medical.

You can stay out up to a year before you are presumed to abandon your green card (would not recommend doing this kind of lengthy absence more than once) but note that if you are out for longer than 6 months then the 5-year clock for citizenship resets to start at the next entry date after that absence. So if you are interested in naturalization, in your examlle above you can re|enter in Nov 2021, and would not be eligible to naturalize before Nov 2026.
Also note you will be expected to file a tax return with the IRS for 2020, your filing obligations begin effective the date you become an LPR.
 
I wrote an email to KCC yesterday asking why everybody else except me have been asked to send their documents. They wrote back telling me that my DS260 had been received and that it is under review. They said that I will be told when to submit the required documents.
 
Hi new here. I'm glad to have stumbled upon this website.
Im Kenyan living in India.
My CN is AF16XXX
Submitted DS260 on 10,Nov 2019.
I received email two days ago from KCC to submit required documents.
Im single, never served in military, never been arrested/jailed.
So i already have Police Clearance Cert from India (New Delhi).
Im planning to travel to Kenya on 28, October2019 to apply for Police Cert from Kenya as well since i lived in Kenya for 18 years.
How long did it take you to acquire Police Clearance Cert(PCC) in Kenya? Will i be too late with my documents?
I already have all the required documents except PCC from Kenya. If it will take too long before i acquire PCC from Kenya, can i just submit the available docs and submit the Kenyan PCC later ??
 
Just to clarify im CN 2020AF16XXX.
I would also like to ask, the passport used in DS 260.application is my old Kenyan passport which expires in 2027. Should i apply for renewal when i come home(Kenya) on 28/10/2019 ? Is it very necessary to renew it ?
