I’d wait. 3 weeks haven’t even passed since you’d submitted your documents. KCC typically advises that document processing can take between 3-6 weeks. So if you’re impatient, you can follow up after 3 weeks. If you’re really patient then after 6 weeks.
as far as my research 10k - 15k should suffice
For who? A new computer science graduate, and a middle aged artisan with a homemaker spouse and four school aged children, and a sick retired person might each win DV and need very different amounts to show they won’t be a public charge. It is an individual thing based on a person’s own circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all number.
I believe you need to bring it to the interview , which the consular will ask for anyway . Same thing like if you have police certificate that becomes older than 1 year at interview date for current country of residency , you don't email it again to KCC, but make sure you have valid one for interview date.
What is your country?
Copying the text from the reciprocity page is better than “explaining”, it is in fact the only acceptable “explanation”. And no, you cannot assume that they just know what is or isn’t required for every country. if something is unavailable then very definitely the text from the reciprocity page should be included.
Yes. I’d even suggest copy of a printout /print to pdf to keep the formatting so they can immediately see it is from the reciprocity page.
It is for me and my spouse no children , both in our sixties . I am a civil engineer.So how much should we have in our bank account ?
You should list all the different names/name combinations you’ve gone by in the past, or listed on your documents under the “Other Names” section
The only thing that will happen is the fact that KCC will not continue processing your case until after they’ve received the requested documents.
If you’re interviewing at an embassy that requires a selectee to demonstrate they will not become a public charge, the 10-15K which @ziadusa claimed their research has shown as being sufficient will definitely not cut it in this case. While most (if not all) employers in the US have written policies where they claim to not discriminate against job applicants based on age, etc, the truth is your employability level is rather low if you’re already in your sixties (no offense). The CO will be taking that into consideration especially if you’re not able to demonstrate you already have some form of established support in the US. I know you’re looking for guidance on some specific amount, unfortunately that is not something I can stick my neck out on and state.
I was not intending to give anyone a number, the point was that different circumstances require different proofs.
Thanks Simon. A month delay of submission makes just a month delay of my interview then.
