DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Can a person in the US under H1B visa (actively working and paying taxes) sign an affidavit of support I-134 for a DV selected?

Cc @Britsimon @SusieQQQ @Sm1smom
Further to mom’s response: Technically a non usc/LPR can sign but bear in mind that DV is the only proper immigrant category a i134 is used for (most common used are NIVs and for the fiancé visa, which gets superseded by an i864 on marriage), and someone on a temporary and/or job dependent visa like H1 is just not going to hold as much weight as a USC or LPR when it is an immigrant being sponsored.
 
I am just wondering - how come it’s not an automatic disqualification when you put the wrong country you were born
1. The instructions do explain the instances you can cross charge to spouse or parent in certain limited circumstances
2. Not relevant in this particular case but because selection is by region not country, a wrong country in the same region is usually not disqualifying (limited exceptions)

Yes I do remember and even though we were prepared to add this argument , that was so fast and the officer did not even ask too much questions . Since My husband is the main applicant, he was also a bit panicking when he was questioned
The officer just told us that she did want to keep us there for the day and that they will email us back on the final decision.
For my educational records , I have them all but she did not keep them as I was not the main applicant
In that case what can you advise me to do while still processing ? Shall I submit my educational records ? Also I’m supposed to travel by end of the week for professional reason and need to ask them to give me back my passport ? Do you think they could stop the process knowing that my husband and daughter will not ask for his passport now ?
Thanks in advance for your proper advise

Unfortunately it seems despite mom having warned you what you’d need, you were not prepared for the interview. You should have expected to be challenged on this and rather than panicking your husband should have been prepared to talk about cross chargeability and hand your documents in. You will need to find out if your embassy will even accept unsolicited documents after an interview - many won’t. Your best chance right now is probably to hope that they request the documents from you, but if you are going to contact them anyway to ask for your passport then you should ask about this. As for ”stop the process” well it will definitely be paused, even if they accept that there is cross chargeability they will need to issue both visas at the same time.

In addition to Susie's response above, I believe you should also have submitted your educational documents to KCC when you guys sent in your documents as a matter of fact. Then attend your interview fully prepared to support why your husband cross charged. This would have involved pointing out to the CO that cross chargeability is allowed, you would have presented the official documents that supports this once the CO brought up the issue of being wrongly charged.
 
Hello, My husband got selected on DV2021. We haven’t received any email from KCC to submit the supporting documents yet. Does that mean we probably won’t get appointment for an interview? I’d appreciate your thoughts on this. Our case number is 34032 we submitted DS260 in July. Thank you!

I would send my docs NOW regardless of them asking for it., but there is very little chance of getting an interview now.

Are you part of any lawsuit?

and send the documents asap.
 
If you have any ties to another country (like citizenship or residence), then you can request a transfer. Not guaranteed but since your embassy is not accepting DVs, it’s worth the shot!
Hello again! we are from Uzbekistan and by luck Romania accepted our transfer (no ties), they have processed our application from KCC and we got the 2NL. My concern now though is we recently have our new born, we filled in his DS260 as additional applicant and submitted his supporting documents as well to KCC.but in our 2NL his name is not mentioned. though as the main applicant I did not unlock my DS260 form and edit children as i thought it will not be possible after submission of the form. Should we take our new born with us to our Interview even if his name is not mentioned in 2NL ?will this be a possible problem ?

Congrats on getting the case moved. You must take the newborn. Contact the embassy in advance so they know he is coming. The embassy will either unlock the DS for you or allow you to make the changes at the interview.
