It's been more than 2 weeks since 20th of AprilDepends on your consulate, anywhere from a day or two to a couple of weeks.
Yes I mentioned this above I believe in response to someone - I’ve seen people from at least 4 different embassies in 3 different regions talk about this issueIt's been more than 2 weeks since 20th of April
I contacted the embassy they mentioned worldwide system fault
Thanks. I’m both Canadian and Israeli citizen. Do you happen to know how many selectees are registered in Montréal?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.
There is no way for us to know since Canada isn't eligible for the DV lottery. You can simply compile data from https://dvcharts.xarthisius.xyz/ to get an idea. We actually talked about it last week at length so simply check previous posts.Thanks. I’m both Canadian and Israeli citizen. Do you happen to know how many selectees are registered in Montréal?
Thanks. The raw latest data file from that website doesn’t show how many cases are allocated for each embassy as most cases are currently reviewed by KCC (not ready) if I correctly read the data. I downloaded the last file from 2020. About 24 allocated cases in Israel and only 55 allocated cases in Canada in 2020. I can’t validate how 2021 would look like in comparison to 2020, I guess around the same or even less. I think my strategy would be to allocate myself to one country while the spouse in the other country to increase the chances as both are selectees. I am just confused by the mix messages here about transferring to another embassy: I keep reading here that unless I’m working or permanently moving to my homeland country - I am not eligible to request a change. The notes above that only citizenship is sufficient for KCC to transfer is new to me.There is no way for us to know since Canada isn't eligible for the DV lottery.

can you point to a post that says you have to also be residing in a country if you are already a citizen of it? I’m not aware of any such. Only aware of that being stated for people who want to either move to a new country on some kind of work or other visa or more commonly want to go there on tourist status to consulate shop.Thanks.

Yes, me. Someone got an interview appointment today for Paris. CN 4XXX (You can reach out to @sDiversityVisa on Twitter to ask them more info)Hi!
Anyone selected from France here ? Having a very low case number (2021DV2XXX) but still no email so far for interview.
Not for Israel: "Immigrant visas to the United States are processed for residents of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza at U.S. Embassy Jerusalem."Example from the US embassy in Zagreb seeing as that is one of the ones being asked about.
The U.S. Embassy in Zagreb processes immigrant visas to the United States for citizens and residents of Croatia.
.....We are only processing cases for Croatian nationals and residents in Croatia.
Immigrant Visas | U.S. Embassy in Croatia
The U.S. Embassy in Zagreb processes immigrant visas to the United States for citizens and residents of Croatia. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, routine immigrant visa processing is suspended. We are processing IR-1, IR-2, CR-1, CR-2, IR-3, IR-4, IH-3, IH-4, and K cases and mission...hr.usembassy.gov
Seems pretty clear to me.
It is a general rule. The Israeli embassy phrases it that way for political reasons, what are they going to call a citizen of Gaza? Happy to take a bet with you that they will have no problem scheduling an Israeli citizen.Not for Israel: "Immigrant visas to the United States are processed for residents of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza at U.S. Embassy Jerusalem."
It's not a general rule. It all depends on your embassy/consulate.
Ok thank you ! I will...Yes, me. Someone got an interview appointment today for Paris. CN 4XXX (You can reach out to @sDiversityVisa on Twitter to ask them more info)
The other person I know is 17XXX and I am 25XXX (we both haven't heard back yet)
I am assuming that KCC could reach out to you pretty soon now but we do know that some higher case numbers got scheduled. However, no CN above 8XXX got scheduled to date.
Congrats mate! Can you tell us your region and approximate case number, please?Hello ! Just got my interview at the embassy of Paris on 16th of June, 2021 . I just found it in my emails received tonight
Congrats mate! Can you tell us your region and approximate case number, please?![]()
Thank you. Very low case number. Good luck mate!Yep ! Region Europe. My case number is 2021EU28XX
Yeah I do. Thanks again! I'll post updates if/when we decide to change it.I presume you have a home address of some sort in Croatia, use that. If you are a citizen of a country you are entitled to interview there.
Dear Susie do you believe selection is not that much random too? what do you think about it?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.
