DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Today, A friend (AF region) just got an email from KCC requesting documents after sending without being requested 2 months ago, Is there still any chance for DQ and interview in the remaining weeks?

I got document request email from KCC in January this year. Sent my documents in February.
And since then, I haven’t been Documentarily Qualified.

So, to answer your question, there is a slight chance for your friend to get an interview now before September 30, depending on his/her case number. (Many low CNs are getting 2NLs).

Maybe he/she will have a chance, considering how KCC is functioning at the moment and the potential upcoming court orders.

In any way, I hope he/she is a plaintiff in a lawsuit.

Yes, he is a Goodluck plaintiff. Thank for your reaction. Hopping for the best for us All
 
Something weird happened to my friend who was requested to send "further documents" by KCC yesterday... after sending them almost immediately, she received again the same letter requesting the documents and she sent them again... Is this common?
 
Hi all!
42 days that our passports are hold at the Paris embassy without receiving any communication
Is there any advice from your side ?
we’ve sent already email 1 month ago without getting any reply
 
Short question (Maybe a bit too little too late to ask, but still) - I'm a DV2021 selectee having an interview scheduled for next week (all documents and medical is done). I claimed the wrong country of chargeability (I listed Latvia (a place where I lived almost all of my life) instead of Russia (where I was born).

I know that normally in case of this kind of error if the country is from the same region, and there's no additional benefit I'm extracting from this error, CO will usually let it pass. But on one other DV-related forum (Russian speaking) a few people mentioned that rules around this topic have changed. I couldn't find any official or reliable source of information for that matter. Does anyone know if that's the case? :) Got me stressed a bit..

Thank you!

The part of the rules stating that is is ok if same region, have disappeared from the public version of the manual. It is not clear to me (and a couple of others here) if that means the rule has actually changed. Please do give us feedback after your interview.

If you have proof of KCC processing DV22 or scheduling them, please DM me.

Why the need for DM? In a normal year, 2NLs for October would be going out already. Instead all we have reported in the DV22 forum is people saying KCC has not responded to emails or unlock requests, or confirmed documents. I think we’d all like to know who these DV.22 people getting processed or scheduled are.

Yikes! Hopefully, they'll let it pass considering that I have a U.S. citizen minor child and that they won't even use all of the 55k visas anyway. And I'm legitimately NOT extracting any benefit out of this error as well. Fingers crossed.

The factors of a usc child and visa usage will not enter the decision - it would be judged on the rules.
I hope that they do not assess you as benefitting. It looks like Russia is cut off for reaching 7% of entrants so it could be argued that you did benefit by choosing a different country. There has been mixed reporting on the few cases like this I recall seeing in the past. I’m not wanting to scare you here - but this is not totally a riskless scenario for you.

It's interesting that I also could find any changes to that paragraph in FAM 9 Recent Change Transmittal Listings (But I might be looking at the wrong thing).

Link: fam.state.gov/FAM/Ct.aspx?VolumeID=09FAM

So, it doesn't look like there was an "official change". But the fact that it disappeared from the manual is weird. It should at least be mentioned that there was a redaction. I'll keep you guys updated.

It seems that your situation is a bit different (I read your post) since you claimed from another region. Here, it's the same EU region, just different countries. Hopefully, you'll get a positive response soon as well!

Wasn’t yours a different region though and you are trying to retroactively do cross charging? Am I remembering correctly?

I am not sure how “recent” it was, I think sm1smom mentioned she had already noticed the change last year. Of course no-one was interviewing then because of the ban so I guess it didn’t really come to notice.
