DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

[SusieQQQ]

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 ?

Thank you

Example this article from last year https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/average-health-insurance-cost-14878894 puts average health insurance premium for a 60 year old at $600, this is in line with what I’ve seen people talk about. (And this is not full coverage, there are still copays and deductbiles). So just health insurance premiums for two people of your age for a year could be over $14k, you can immediately see that having $10-15k of savings is probably not enough. Again individual circumstances matter. If you can get a well paying job with good health insurance it makes a difference, if as mom says you find it difficult - not just age but lack of connections, lack of US specific experience sometimes matters, for engineering there are also certification/licensing issues I think - it can be hard.

again going beyond just “will i get a visa” - I don’t usually suggest this because imo truly successful immigration usually requires you jump in at the deep end and don’t look back - but if you do get a visa I would in your case suggest keeping one foot back home just in case it doesn’t work out.

Thanks Simon. A month delay of submission makes just a month delay of my interview then.
I was about to submit documents without my police certificate but I will be patient and wait.
Got #2000 so happy(^∇^)

I wouldn't equate a month's submission delay as simply delaying the interview date by one month. You're assuming KCC will immediately jump on processing your documents as soon as they receive them. The interview date delay could be well beyond one month.

p.s. I am not Simon.

Hey guys!

I entered DV with my French passport. On the DS 260, could I put my Canadian passport instead or better to stick with my French passport?

Thanks!

Hello!
I am case 2021eu20xxx and got the email to send documents back in November. I delivered them a couple of days later in the correct format as listed. A month ago after not getting an email that my documents were processed I sent an email to KCC to ask if my documents were received and ok. They replied pretty soon but I didn't really get a clear answer. Should I call them just to make sure everything is OK? I don't want to bother them with another email so soon.

anyone knows where the medicals should be done when you transfer your case to another country?

The need to be done with the recommended CS in the country where the interview will be taking place.

I believe you can list both passports as a matter of fact.

What did the email say? Was it an auto response and nothing else since then?

 

[Chris al]

It explained that when you send the documents you should receive an automatic email stating that you have sent them, if the email you sent has no attachments you will get an email stating you have not sent them (I guess it was a auto response?) . Since then I haven't gotten any other email

You can send a new follow up email in that case. Or better yet, re-send all the documents - check Simon's blog for further guidance on how to ensure you send your documents correctly

I’m EU21xxx and I have not received a request to submit the documents. I have closely monitored this message board and only lately someone around the EU16xxx reported that KCC asked them to submit the documents. I can’t believe that back in November 2020 someone in around my case number range would get the documents request. It may be that I’m missing something here!

I got it right after I unlocked my ds260 to update for some small change.

Thanks! I am positive I have sent the documents correctly (naming, format, size etc). I just noticed Brit has a new post on his site regarding documents, explaining each circumstance and what actions should be taken.

Send the documents!

Thanks. My country does not directly provide the applicant with the police certificate but only sending it directly to the consulate. I called KCC long time ago to ask - they told me that they will provide me a number to be provided to the police so when they send it to the consulate there is a special reference number. As my case number is not current and I have not been asked to send the documents how would you suggest to address this police certificate issue? Thanks!

Hey guys,

Simon, thanks so much for your latest YouTube live.

Regarding the new lawsuit, it says that you need to have "submitted the initial paperwork". Does it actually include sending the documents because I am still missing one doc and I doubt that I would get it before the deadline.

 

[gmeteor]

Hi everyone, regarding the dv2021 lawsuit FAQ, there is a requirement described below:

"A DV - 2021 selectee has submitted initial paperwork , but the case is stuck at the Kentucky Consul ar Center"

My question is, what do they refer here by "initial paperwork"? DS260 or KCC documents? I haven't got mail from KCC that asks my documents, should I send anyway (Im EU30k) ? Am I eligible for this plaintiff? I don't want to miss this chance...

Thanks a lot in advance.

Has anyone from DV2021 winners entered the US yet?
I'm tired of checking my mailbox and getting depressed everyday.
Hoping to hear some good news.

There were reports of issued visas in Algeria , very recent so probably didn't travel yet but nothing should stop them at that point . The situation is really embassy specific now . Some started working right away , some have scheduled interview , some are dragging but said they will work on DV , some are dragging and not saying when they will start and some are refusing to work on DV cases
