Hi mom, my mother AS2xxx, also one of the selectee this year but going through CP.
Questions
1. For education, she graduated high school in Hong Kong back in 1970 and at that time there was no diploma upon graduation. She took 2 public examination HKCEE and HKALE and was awarded these 2 certificate as equivalent to high school completion. However, her HKALE examination was done through night school and only had 3 subjects tested. Do you think this will be a potential red flag to the CO?
2. She has been awarded a certificate from a university do you think that could also be the highest education level as of now?
3. She work as a civil servant and i couldn't find the exact job title from the recommended webpage. The only similar job i found is in job zone 3. Would that also be a red flag as well?
4. For medical examination, i am not quite understand the class A and B condition, so my dad (her derivative) has well controlled diabetes and hepB, do you think that will make him inadmissible?
Thanks.

Seen a couple recent posts reporting delays due to global technical issues with the biometrics system. Not sure if this might be happening in your case.
Thank you for your input!
I read some of your previous replies on the same topic and I'm kinda confused about the few things... Do we have to be physically present in Croatia before I request the change? Do we have to change the address on DS-260 even though we would only stay in Croatia until we get everything done? Or all this only applies to people who are trying to change the location to some country other than country of birth?
Yes i did, before issuing the visa there is no problem to sign up.
My guess is lots of 21 winners will win 22 too, Because i am not sure if selection is that much random !!
I think is random, I participated too. In my opinion if they want to be fair with the DV2020/DV2021 winners, they should reselect them everybody who applied for DV2022. If DV2022 will not have the same destiny as the current years
Same situation here: Canadian citizen who was born in Israel. How can I find how many selectees are dedicated to the Jerusalem embassy? I can provide my family home address but it is my understanding that only if I’m working in my home country or permanently moving there - only then they do the transfer (should I “relocate” myself for the purpose of DV)?. Unless I missing something, perhaps that would be a good strategy to increase my chances?
my husband is also a selectee - yes both of us have been selected (though his home embassy is silent too). Perhaps keeping one in Canada and transferring the other can increase the chances? It would be a bit difficult to explain how for the same household one is living in Canada and the other in Israel!

As far as I know, at least Jerusalem has resumed processing ALL immigrant visas but I am yet to hear about a DV case, I'm a winner from AF region living in Israel, my CN is current but still didn't hear from KCC as for now. I will appreciate if you'd share any update about JRS processSame situation here: Canadian citizen who was born in Israel. How can I find how many selectees are dedicated to the Jerusalem embassy?

Again, if you are a citizen of a country you can interview there. (You just say born there, are you a citizen?) Israel had 190 selectees.Same situation here: Canadian citizen who was born in Israel.

Fairness doesn’t come into it unfortunately, because being selected doesn’t guarantee a visa, as they say over and over.
if “fairness” came into it all those DV2020 selectees who got banned and not yet issued visas would have taken the first x-000 DV21 slots. If fairness came into it people who couldn’t previously get their DV visas for the other Trump bans (Muslim ban etc) would have taken those slots too. If fairness came into it people who got selected but never got current every year would take slots from the following year. some people brought a lawsuit in DV12 because they got selected in the first draw (it turned out to be not random and got voided) and they didn’t think it was fair to have their selection withdrawn. Etc. unfortunately fairness is not part of the selection process.
Please what is your case number? I'm also in the AF region and my case number is current according to the May Visa Bulletin but still haven't heard from KCC to request for supporting documents.

Well, no. It doesn't work like that. Travel gov explained many times that Zoom interview are NOT for immigrant visas. And in all fairness, given how many selectees are then refused at the interview stage for a bunch of reasons, I do understand that they wouldn't allow that to happen.
If there is one thing that is not fair, it's the DV lottery. It's a lottery. You accepted to participate and the government never ever said that your GC would ever be guaranteed. If you are hoping to get a visa after the September deadline, you are going to get disappointed. And even for the 2020 winners, no one seems to be in a rush to allocate those 9,000 visas as you probably saw already.
I have played for 9 years before finally getting selected. I am also a DV2021 winner. I'll be disappointed if I don't get it but I already knew that there would be a high chance for me of not getting it because of the numbers of visas being given on any given year + COVID. So yep, better get ready.

@SusieQQQ just FYI it seems that the Paris consulate got an interview date for a selectee with a low CN. (4XXX) I got that from @sDiversityVisa
We would need to confirm that with the data but that doesn't surprise me. Again, consulates with a low number of immigrants visas. I'll double check closely as I am technically able to interview there as well. I don't think any EU winners over 12XXX got an interview just yet.
I am fairly certain that MTL will start accepting DVs either this month or next month. Don't quote me on that but I wasn't wrong with the consulates thing after the travel gov announcement.
