DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hey guys,

curious but is there an email from KCC still asking for the documents? I have sent all of my documents already so I guess that next step would be 2NL? (They never asked for the documents btw but I still did send them)

How long does it normally take for them in 2021 to review DS-260 and ask for the docs? I know that most people out there are waiting for their 2NL though.

Thanks!

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.

Thank you for the prompt response! I hate how I got confused about the phrasing - now running around to collect the necessary documents...

Another question that was probably asked before, but I still cannot find a precise answer. What should I do for unobtainable documents, like the military service record for my husband (he served in USSR over 40 years ago)? The letter just says:
if you cannot obtain a particular document, send a scanned or photographed explanation in of why you cannot obtain the document, as an attachment in .jpeg or .pdf format, to KCCDVDocuments@state.gov, with your case number in the subject line.

So, just an explanation of the situation will work? Or should I also provide some "weak documents" - my husband still has his military driver's license?
 
I have traveled abroad twice.
2006 stayed one week
2007 stayed two weeks
In each travel I stayed in hotel.
1. Should I mention that in DS260?
2. Should I issue police certificates for those countries?
3. Should I mention those travels during the interview?

Police ceriificates from places you LIVED in, not visited
 
Hi dears,
Case number 16k AF region. I've already got the "ready for scheduled" email month ago. I have a newborn and I asked kcc to unlock my DS-260 in order to add him.
My questions:
1- will the unlock of my Ds 260 delay my 2NL?
2- should I send the birth certificate after updating DS 260 without the request of kcc?
3- if I'm not able to take care of the baby by my own, what's the possibilities to include his mom (my wife) despite the fact that I'm not married with her.
4- will we need a DNA test at the interview?

Thanks in advance for your responses...

1. Maybe but you do not have a choice, you have to list all children
2. If you are planning to add the baby to your case yes. Better to resend all documents associated with the case Including that rather than sending separately.
3. None unless you marry her, only a legal spouse can be added. You would probably need her permission to get a visa for the child if you do not marry her and take her with.
4. Usually would not be required if your name is on the birth certificate, but may depend on your country. You cannot get a DNA test in advance for immigration purposes - it can only be done by a DOS accredited lab and they need a case number, so the process would be that you would get put on AP after the interview, pending accredited DNA result.
 
Thanks SusieQQQ
In case I don't wish to travel with the baby. How can I proceed?

Follow KCC’s instructions on what to do if a document is unobtainable.

3. If asked, yes.

You’ll still need to unlock your DS260 and list the baby on your form. You however will not fill out a separate DS260 for the baby in this case.

If I decide to marry the mom after the selection result as now, and carry them with me. That will not cause me a refusal?

As long as you can convincingly demonstrate to the CO your marriage is genuine, getting married after selection does not lead to a denial. Considering you’ve already received the document submission confirmation email, I’m not sure if getting married now and adding a spouse to your case is still doable.
 
Thanks mom!!!
But i can add my newborn, right? Or will they refuse to unlock the DS 260 because I've already received the documents confirmation email?

If your CN is current and they’ve already scheduled you for an interview, yes KCC will refuse to unlock the DS260, you’ll have to contact the embassy in that case.

Then just list the baby as a child in the appropriate section on your DS, and indicate where appropriate on the form that the child will not be immigrating with you.

You might as well update the passport information since the DS260 has been unlocked.

OK, sorry to bother again. After reviewing information on an unlocked DS-260, which passport number I have to put, on the final Sign and Submit Application, the old one passport number, or the new one?

Hi Mom,
In DS260, it mentioned "Previous addresses should only include those addresses at which you established a residence (for example on campus housing where you lived for an academic term at your college or university) and should not include places at which you were temporarily present (for example a hotel at which you stayed for vacation)."
I don't know in which part of DS260 should I fill by previous travels abroad
