DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

I will ask here instead of 2020 thread, maybe someone else will be interested as well.

When I filled in my DS260 I just indicated that I have high school diploma, bachelors diploma and etc. but I did not put document number with it. Was it necessary? I watched one video recently about how to fill out the form and they entered their diploma numbers as well, so now I doubt maybe that was needed?

No it’s not.
 
Hello. Has anyone received an email with document submission instructions yet?
I am referring to after the first time when you've filed your DS-260, then the next step is to receive email instructions on how to submit supporting documents.

Many thanks.

You’re going to need some patience for this process.

Doesn’t matter where your citizenship is, don’t worry - place of birth is correct and that is what matters.

Stop duplicating the same question. Susie already rightly answered the question.
 
1. Yes, you wait. There aren’t specific timelines, especially now with the pandemic. Of course, you should contact KCC if your number does become current and have not heard anything from them regarding the documents. This is under the assumption that you submitted your DS-260 on time though.

2. No. Everything needs to be correct prior to an interview. If you need to make corrections, contact KCC to unlock your submitted form. (You may update your US address at the the time of the interview though).

Thank you for your answer.

EU30k here. If everything was normal, I'd say we have pretty good chance. But considering what's happening in the World right now, especially Covid, I'm pretty stressed about our chances when I think about it. Guess best way is not thinking too much about gc and planning your life like you didn't win anything yet. At least that's what I will try to do this year.

Yes, I am not thinking to much about it. l have been several times in US through B1/B2 Visa, at least I have been there :) Let’s hope will have good chances to qualify gc. take care everybody
 
Hello,

My husband has been selected for DV2021, his case number is EU36*** We already fulfilled and submitted DS260 form but we have 2 problems.

Since we are already living in US for my F1 status we chose AOS. But as a lot of people said Consular Processing is easier, cheaper and faster we decided to change it to Consular Processing. How can it be possible to change it, coz I cannot reopen our submitted DS260 form?

And one more question; our daughter was born here in US so she is US Citizen, but we thought we should answer 'Yes' to the question of 'Is your child immigrating to the U.S. with you?' Should I change my answer?

Thank you for the clarifications.
 
Dear All

I have sent an email to KCC to ask them to clarify the below points. Do you think it can harm my application in any way? Also if you could help in the below points as well that would be great!

Please see below:


"1. Personal, Address and Phone Information
"Full Name in Native Language /Native Alphabet” - My question here is whether I need to provide my name not only in my native alphabet (so using special characters, like „á” or „é”) but also in the name order that we use in Hungary? In Hungary, we put surnames first and given names last. In my DS-260 application for this specific question, I kept the American order (given names first, surname last) and only modified some characters to match my native alphabet. So currently it looks like this: given names with the special characters, surname with the special characters. Can you please confirm whether this would be sufficient or should I put my name in Hungarian order instead?

2. Previous U.S. Travel Information
"Were you issued an Alien Registration Number by the Department of Homeland Security?” - To this question, I put „no” as my answer. I have been an exchange student in the United States from 2013 to 2014 on a J-1 Visa, but as far as I am aware that visa does not come with an Alien Registration Number. Can you please confirm?

3. Work/Education/Training Information
(To put things into perspective, I have both a completed University degree and previous work history, so in my application, I filled out the details for both.)
a. "Present Employer or School Name - Does this job require at least 2 years of training or experience?” - I put „yes” as an answer, however, I have only ca. 17 months of previous work experience. The method behind my thinking: I put „yes” as an answer because although I do not have 2 years of work experience, reflecting on the original question, the position itself that I hold requires at least 2 years of work experience. In Hungary employers sometimes decide to hire someone for these positions if the person has a good work history or education, even though they do not have the required years of work experience yet. Do you think I should modify my answer to „no” or can I leave it as it is now?
b. "Have you belonged to, contributed to, or worked for any professional, social, or charitable organization?” - For this question, I put „yes” as an answer and listed again all the previous professional workplaces that I have already given under the "current and previous work history" tabs. Would this be the correct approach?

4. Security and Background Information
"Do you seek to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor but have not yet been certified by the Secretary of Labor?” - I am planning to start working once I get my green card and arrive in the United States. In my DS-260 application, I put „no” to this question. Can you please help me whether this is the correct approach or should I modify my answer to „yes”?

Can you please let me know whether my thinking and logic were sufficient when I filled out the answers to these questions? In case I have made some errors, I would like to ask you to please re-open my DS-260 form and I would be more than happy to correct any possible mistakes."


Thank you so much for your answers in advance!
 
Congratulations to everyone!

I have a quick question. My mother has been selected and will appear with my father for the interview, however, I live in a different country and I will be unable to be present for their interview. What happens in this case? Do I have to go for an interview at the embassy where I reside or do I have to travel to where they live?

Thank you in advance for your help!
