He can change it (1) at his interview (2) at his port of entry to the US.
I have found a potential sponsor to give me an I-134. But during few years span, he has previously sponsored 4-5 relatives to help them immigrate to the states. Would this have a negative impact on my I-134? He is a business man and I know that he has a considerable amount of income.

Dear All,
I think I have possibly made two mistakes in my DS-260 application, however, I am not even sure if these count as mistakes. Do you think it is worth to re-open my form to correct them?
1. Current workplace: "Does this job require at least 2 years of training or experience?" - I do not have 2 years of work experience yet, however, despite this fact, my current job itself normally would indeed require 2 years of previous experience. I put "yes" as my answer. Should I change it to "no"?
2. "Have you belonged to, contributed to, or worked for any professional, social, or charitable organization?" - For this question, I put "yes" as my answer and listed all my previous work experience (like Procter and Gamble, Vodafone, etc.).

I left out to mention the fact that I have a university degree, so I would be qualifying for the visa on education.

I am selected for DV 2021 .
I have a valid B1/B2 VISA to US. Could I still enter the US with this VISA and after submitting the DS 260 could I still go there.
Thank you

The amount of income sufficient to sponsor obviously rises the more a sponsor has supported. As long as he has enough income to cover his household plus all currently sponsored people, that will be fine.

You may certainly try visit (I myself did that during my process), but be sure to bring strong evidence of your ties home for that trip - if they have any suspicion that you will attempt to stay and adjust status using a B visa, they will refuse you entry.

1. ambiguous the way you described it, clearly it doesn't “require” it if you don't habe it though?
2. They are not asking for employers but organizations - like clubs, professional associations (like those for lawyers, doctors, accountants, engineers etc). Anything from a tennis club to Rotary to the Red Cross etc etc ... that’s the kind of thing they’re asking.
Thank you! Is there any expiration for these sponsorships? For an example I have heard the sponsorship for a DV lottery winner(s) expires in one year. Lets say that my sponsor had sponsored a relative of his 3 years ago. Does it still counts as a liability of the sponsor?

Hm no, there’s no time limit stated, it’s for the “stay in the US”. I’m assuming that responsibility ends when the immigrant either becomes a citizen or has completed 40 quarters of work as for an I864, but I don’t specifically see that stated, probably because i134 is mostly used for non-immigrants and fiancés. If your sponsor sponsored a relative of his on a family-based visa, that would be under i864 by the way so the I864 provisions for sponsorship definitely apply to them in that case.
Hello again !
It's a question that i already asked but i really heard some different version and it's a bit blurry to me.
Do i really need to get a sponsor to increase my chances to be accepted ? I dont wanna count on someone i dont know to get that, i dont wanna lie to any immigration officer .
If i present a bank account with let's say 10k$ and 2 appartments with my name + a car, is it gonna be enough ? (Knowing that i'll have +2 years of employment and i'll present a 12 months statment which proves the money is mine)
Also another question, for the adress that we put in the DS-260, are they gonna ask me who's the person and how do i know her ?
Thank you again !

Make it 15k usd and you are good to go
As I know it depends on the embassy. For an example I have heard that they insist on I-134 at the US embassy in Sri Lanka. They are not interested in any money or liquid assets that we may already have.

I134 always increases your chances.
Valuation for the apartments plus proof you can sell them/take the money to the US (example no foreign exchange control in your country) may help. Otherwise, just owning two apartments in a different country doesn’t help support you in the US.
They will probably ask who your listed contact is.

lol not so simple
Well it depends on his country, but never heard anyone failing interview with having more than 15k usd at bank.
Btw unrelated question: Any idea of what happens if Trump extends EO for more than 90 days? Afaik VB months for dv don't change by law, so for example if there is stil Visa ban at september for immigration too, cutoff of that month will be shown as "0" (Which means higher numbers basically gonna lose a month)?
