DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Can you guys please not tag me in lawsuit questions, I don’t follow them closely and don’t know details. Thanks
 
Ditto! What she said ^^ above.

Plus my signature already says tagging me does not guarantee I will respond to the post in which I’ve been tagged. If I see a post, and I have the right response, I will respond if no one already did.
 
My passport will expire after 3 months.
I submitted my DS260 four months ago and sent my Support documents according to it. At that time the passport had more than 7 months validity.
I ll ask now for a new passport next week so do I have to unlock Ds260 to put the information of the new passport and send photocopy of it to KCC ?
Thanks

For dv2021? Don’t bother, if you get an interview just take both passports with.
 
I think a lot depends on whether those 5 are purely devoted to document processing or whether they have other duties too. How long does it take to check documents in a case? For most of them (straightforward cases) i can’t see it being much more than ten minutes really - KCC is not fact-checking etc, just checking it all looks right. Open email, check all docs needed are there and (where applicable) not expired, mark as RTS. In say a seven hour day after breaks etc, that’s around 40 a day per person, so 200 per day or 1000 per week, or 4000 per month, which is about on par with what they need to complete to match a normal DV month. The problem of course comes in with those people who need to submit docs multiple times before it’s right, or if the people checking docs are also assigned to answer phones (no surprise no one is answering phones anymore there), etc.

Last year in September, people received their interview dates just in a few days advance, after Judge's order.
So my guess is if lawsuits are successful they may send letters in September as well.

Thanks for this. I am in the processing of getting an L1 and looking for a firm departure date to get to US, but don't want to be halfway across the Pacific Ocean and get an email saying my DV interview is next week! it would be a great shame to lose that spot because I couldn't wait an extra couple of weeks.

I guess in the next 4 weeks we should be getting a clearer picture from the lawsuit development.

Hi Tino,

I am also considering going the L1 route. Do you want to connect and share updates and information? Will PM you.

So sorry to hear you're going through this issue
My cousin had the same problem. There was an error in his birth date during DV registration. Instead of January 27 he mentioned January 07.
At first we thought the DS260 was blocked. We contacted KCC and they explained to us the date of birth does not match.
Below a workaround that we used to find the right date
1- go to the 2021 Entrant Status Check
2- Hit Continue
3- Under "type the confirmation number that was given when you applied", click on Forgot Confirmation Number
4- If not preselected click on DV2021
5- then enter all required informations
6- Enter the date of birth with different possibilities.
7- You will not be locked out
8- At some point, if the date matches you will see your case number poped on the screen.

If you get your case number it is mean your date of birth is correct. You should contact KCC with the date of birth mistakenly used and all relevant informations and they will forward the case to your country embassy where you will be asked to appear in person.

We did the steps above and we found out that we mistakenly entered 07 january instead of 27. Now KCC forwarded the case to Lome embassy. However the are closed due to the pandemic. We are expecting services resumption at the embassy of Lome to get hopefully this issue fixed.

I have a same problem what can i do ? Help me Please? Did you solve your problem? How should I send an e-mail describing my situation to KCC? did you solve your problem with the consulate? Does the KCC notify you of the consular appointment date and time?

Guys do you think it’s too late to ask to transfer the file to my home country ? I see in Abu Dubai they issued 4 visas for EU, zero ready. While in my country there are more than 60 issued and more than 100 ready. What is a better decision ? Wait for Abu Dhabi (they stopped at 4600, my case number is 6000), or try my country (stopped at 8900, but too many ready)?
Thanks

As i know right now transfers can take between 20 to 45 days and no guarantee for scheduling.

Am waiting on Abu Dhabi too and until this day no interviews for August
 
Hey guys over the past 7 days I have spent many hours contacting all the politicians, ambassadors and government agencies. I'm doing it as if is my new job and will continue doing it till September 30. I'm not going to sit Idle while these incompetent fools steal away our dreams. about 40 minutes ago i received a reply from Rep Ritchie Torres. He is the only one that replied so far.

I wouldn’t advise you to do that.

Yes, it’s probably too late. Interviews for September are probably being finalized right now so imo KCC won‘t be making any more changes now.

Hi Erica, same here EU and Abu Dhabi. Our only hope now is the lawsuit. Are you RFS?
