DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Alphasham said:
Hello folks,

I'm very concerned about my status. My case number is 2021AS00031XXX and I haven't received any communication from KCC since I submitted my DS-260 back in June 2020.

I sent them the requeried documents on April 28th as I was advised to send it anyway but haven't received any response either beside the automated email.

The visa bulletin is showing CURRENT in Asia and I'm very frustrated with the process.

Is there anything I can do? Did I lose my chance? Heard many people are still waiting for their interview to be scheduled but I haven't even gotten to that point.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

To the people on this forum,

Please take some time to review and read through previous posts before asking your “unique” question.

I think it’s very disrespectful how the same questions are asked over and over and over. Some of the folks here use their personal time to provide some real assistance and guidance. Don’t annoy them by asking non-sense.

I encourage everybody to do some research a couple pages back and then ask questions if answers are not available.

I know this is an open forum but I’m annoyed by seeing the same “should I send documents?” “KCC hasn’t responded” “When do you think interviews will be schedule?” “I’m stressed” Etc… Simple answer is; YES you should send documents (hopefully you did months ago), KCC isn’t responding anyone, no one knows when interviews will be scheduled, and last but not least, we are all stressed.


Don’t waste your time, don’t waste our supporters time.

Don’t panic! That’s completely normal because KCC is not working properly.

I have submitted my DS-260 on June 7th.
Got my document request email on January 19th.
Sent my documents on February 10th.
Still no response from KCC.
I’m not even ready for scheduling..

So relax.. Hopefully the lawsuits will compel KCC to take some action regarding DV21 selectees before end of fiscal year.

We are all stressed as hell. But all we can do is wait.

Guys can someone help me understand what is going on with Morrison case?


Update for #GoodluckvBiden plaintiffs. We are seeing crazy rumors about the implications about this extremely minor development.

It is natural that government fights back. We expected that. Litigation is a long road and we must conserve our energy for major developments, and not waste energy on minor developments or we will all go crazy. Note: What government proposes is not determinative of what will happen.
They are not the judge. The judge is the judge. ⚖️

what does it mean ?
Thanks

Have you heard of Covid?

Its not just Covid. Out of 137 embassies, 23 of them are silent. If you look at the visa issuance report for these posts, not all of these are silent. Other visa categories have been and are being scheduled and processed. When I asked the embassy in Montreal about their plan on scheduling/processing DV cases, below was their response.

"Thank you for contacting us.

The Department values the diversity visa program and is making every effort to process as many diversity visa cases as possible, consistent with other priorities, despite the severe operational constraints and backlog resulting from the ongoing COVID pandemic. Because of the pandemic, the number of visas issued in lower-priority preference categories or in such programs as the diversity visa program likely will not approach the statutory ceiling in Fiscal Year 2021. Moreover, due to additional Quebec COVID-19 provincial restrictions, the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal is only able to schedule a limited number of new immigrant visa appointments. Please note that we are currently not scheduling DV-2021 cases.


We will continue expanding our services following State Department guidance to safely return our workforce and the public to Department facilities. For more information on phased resumption of services please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...ws/visa-services-operating-status-update.html

Thank you for your patience and cooperation."

I got this message when curfew and restrictions were in place. Since then, Quebec and specifically Montreal have managed the Covid situation pretty well and their Covid cases have come down. They have lifted many of their restrictions including curfews at night. That being the case, they haven't started scheduling DV cases. It's up to them to decide what to do. But not processing DV cases even when other categories are being processed, does not make sense. Well, its their call. Hope the lawsuit helps all plaintiffs.

Below is their actual update. Not sure what those crazy rumours are though.

#GoodluckvBiden 2 Updates:
(1) AUSA Diana V. Valdivia has entered her appearance for all government defendants, and has proposed that we "stay" (put on hold) this case until orders are issued in #RaivBiden.
(2) We are pushing back on that crazy proposal.

I don’t know how this is not clear. Literally everything is explained by the lawyer himself plus the screenshot of the email in his tweet. The government simply proposed that Goodluck wait until the outcome of the Rai case. It’s just a proposal. The lawyer can (and will) deny it and go ahead with their case anyway. That doesn’t affect or change anything.

I don’t blame the consulates as much as I blame DoS tiered approach to DVs.
The consulates can just argue that they are following orders from above.
Literally they have been told by DoS that DVs are least priority so this response is understandable.

It is not just COVID now, it is the past impacts of it. Montreal already had big backlogs in visa queues even before the pandemic - I remember seeing reports of people waiting 6 months or longer to get immigrant visa interviews after being DQ at NVC. Those backlogs have surged due to the Covid shutdowns, and they are clearly trying to manage the backlog partly by prioritizing. And I guess they are basing that priority on what has been officially published by DoS, which puts DV (and employment visas) last. You may not like it, I don’t like it, but it is understandable from their perspective. (And I bet, if you were someone who got DQ’d for another type of immigrant visa in late 2019 and have been waiting for an interview over a year and a half to be reunited with your family, you‘d also think you should get the slot.)

Absolutely. I understand that. I have seen the comments of applicants in FB who are trying to unite with their families. That is the way it is with Montreal.

The problem is that most people blame embassies as if they are some sort of evil entities. The situation is more nuanced than that and most probably their staff is just as frustrated as we are.
 
Hi Guys, May I ask a question,
will DQ or 2NL email be sent to the main applicant only, or CC to their derivatives at same time?
Thanks
 
Hi All,
I'm waiting for 2NL with AS14K(DQ) and would like to take advise regard to medical checkup before interview.

I have a scar on my lung 5 years ago, IF still there, as per the doctor who handle US visa said that I will have to go further checkup which will take minimum of 8 weeks to issue medical fitness certificate and I need the interview appointment letter to do medical.
again, if my interview appointment come late, I might then not able to receive the medical report before September 30th 2021.

Can any one please advice me what should I do on this matter.

Thanks All.

Is it too expensive to check up your lungs in another hospital on your own and see if the issue is there or not?
Click to expand...
I think it's affordable for me, but it's most likely still there as i have discussed with other doctor before, the problems is that IF it's still there, I will then might miss the September 30th deadline as approved medical center require interview appointment letter to start my check up.

Ahh Where are the 2NLso_O ?
 
agkoko82 said:
Actually, no treatment require, but further evaluation require which will take 8 to 10 weeks to issue medical report because of scar on my lung.
Thanks for replying:)

Is the scar from TB? “Medical fitness” is not required as such but being free of TB is. Unfortunately if it is TB related and it takes that long, and you cannot get the medical cleared in time before fiscal year end, then you will not be able to get a visa.
