DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Dear Mom,
I am recently trying to fill in my DS260, and I wonder if I should include my paid part-time internships under the "Were you previously employed?" question if I have always been a full-time student without full-time working experiences before. When I was applying for my current F-1 visa, I did not include any internship experiences because I was told that only full-time experiences count. I wonder if this contradiction will be a problem...
Thank you for your time and supports!

They assign the consulate/embassy based on the current address listed in the DS260.

Don’t be surprised if you get asked for a police certificate for your new country of residence even if you have been there less than 6 months.

I have the same question, I have submitted the documents on last Oct and my CN is AS58xx.

If I want to change the interview location, I need to update the submitted documents with translation right? (I can use the original copy without translation for interview in Taiwan.)

So far, I have not received the document confirmation email, should I wait for the email and then propose the interview location changing or take action immediately? After I resubmit the documents, will they review all documents again and make the whole process longer?

What is the precedence for these action?
 
tl;dr I am the principal applicant, my husband applies with me. Does he need to submit his military record?

I know the following has been asked many times (although I tried looking it up and didn't find a definitive answer), and it was kinda explained in the video, but I am still confused about something.
I am the principal applicant, and my husband and son are applying with me. Now, the document request email clearly ask for passport and birth certificate from *each family member*. Now, all the other document requirements are using the language "If *you*..." - does this "you" refer to each applicant, or just to the primary applicant? That is, does my husband (again, I am the primary applicant) need to submit his military records, his police certificate, and his marriage termination (from his previous marriage, obv)?

Several people already told you to send your documents, including Simon (and you did acknowledge Simon’s response back then), yet you’re still asking what to do? Waiting for the DS260 to be unlocked has nothing to do with sending the required documents.

Go through Simon’s blog for further guidance on what to send and how to send them:

New video on document submission tips

I have created a video on this before - but still people get things wrong - so let me update that info here. This video is all about tips to make sure you send all the required documents to KCC.…

Thanks for your reply and clarification.

My DS-260 form now is unlocked and I am going to make some revisions.

Passport that has expired. Should I provide and the new passport information in the section "Personal Info, Travel Documentation"?

Okay thanks. So for previous works will they contact your old supervisor?
- And can i add internships in my previous works?

1. Probably not directly. They will do whatever needs to be done as part of the background check process.
2. You may list of them.

Yes, yes, yes! Your husband, as a derivative applicant, is required to also submit all those documents.

Only documents not applicable to a derivative are the school or work experience related documents (DV qualification document) which gets presented at the interview by the way.

You might as well update the passport information since the DS260 has been unlocked.
 
Hi I need help,
DS 260 has been already filled and submitted. But last week the applicant gave birth.
does she have to unlock and add baby?
when you send documents do you also send baby’s docs? The applicant would like to send docs but now she is wondering if she has to stop and starts to collect baby’s docs like passport.
thank you.

In addition to the “yes” responses above, remember you need to both add the baby to the applicant’s DS260 (and spouse’s DS260 if spouse is also on the case), and fill in a new DS260 for the baby.
 
Hi there! I’ve been following Mr britsimon’s YouTube videos.

My case is AS22xxx and originally planning on proceeding with CP at Tokyo Embassy. However given what’s happening right now described in Simons latest video, if we can also do AOS, is it essentially a better route?

My reasoning is
AOS could be great because
1) AOS (USCIS) tends to prioritize DV cases as it gets close to the end of September.

2)AOS is not dependent on foreign embassy’s capacity which also depends on Covid situation in its country as well as KCC interview scheduling capacity.

3) US overall is doing better in terms of covid because of the vaccination progress so we do not expect crazy delay in USCIS operations just as estimate.

Of course this is based on the assumption that our number will go current by June which was mentioned by the guy who controls the vida bulletin.
Depending on the judgment of the current situation, we are ready to switch our route to AOS immediately. Would love your thoughts on this. Thank you so much!

What is your current status in the US?
 
Ybuster said:
I’m on E2 now that’s good for next 4 years and no intention of leaving anytime soon so pretty much qualified for AOS I believe.

Ok. Why were you going to do CP originally?
If you haven’t looked at sm1smom’s spreadsheet yet then do so (linked in first post of AOS thread),it includes a bit on the pros vs cons of each route.
I would personally not assume the number will be current by June by the way, given May is only current to 13000, but you’ll know for sure next week anyway when the new VB is out.
 
Dear Sir,

I have a question regarding my baby, she was born not in our home country, so for her birth certificate, do we have to send her certificate only for the country where she was born or even the birth certificate for our home country.

Thanks

From where she was born is fine

I think it's the length of your authorized stay that matters, not the expiry date of the visa. I have an E2 and have never been given more than 2 years authorized stay in over 25 trips. Make sure your I-94 shows that you can stay long enough.
