DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

[AAD1992]

No one can say for sure but someone here got scheduled with like 11 days notice recently! I don’t recall the embassy. So there is hope, but a lot of it will depend on your embassy too.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

It's the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, where apparently interviews are being scheduled: if you want me to give you some more info, feel free to ask me, since you're helping me out a lot to clear some doubts that I have.

Much thanks for your kindness!

You can check this website: https://savediversityvisa.org/daily-visa-statistics/ Accra has issued few visas.

When you scroll down there is a list of working embassies.

Thanks so much

Hi All,

My spouse and I initially received our 2NL with our interview scheduled for the 31st of August 2021. However, we were contacted by our local embassy (Colombo Embassy) and told that our interview date is being moved up to the 22nd of July. We were asked to attend the interview although we didn't have our medical and police reports ready. After the interview we were given the 221g form and asked to provide the pending documents (they kept back all our other documents). We provided all of the pending documents on the 7th of August and we are still awaiting a response from the embassy.

Would anyone know how long this process usually takes? Is there a chance of being denied of our visas at this point? We are part of the DV 2021 program btw.

Thank you very much in advance!

It can take embassies a couple of weeks to process documents submitted later, but if I were you I would call or email the embassy to confirm they have received and are processing the documents.

Thank you very much for your response, I really appreciate it!

We already checked with the embassy and they confirmed that they received all the documents and that we will be contacted once the CO completes the review of our case. Is there a maximum time period for embassies to complete reviews of documents submitted later or hold onto our passports and other documents?

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as maximum time to complete the review and come to a decision, or hold on to your documents. Do you need your passports right away for some reason?

No, there is no maximum time. But clearly they are aware of the deadline and that is probably why they moved your interview forward. It is quite possible they did this with a number of other selectees too, so they may have a pile of such documents to get through. If it has been confirmed that they have the docs and are ready for review by the CO, you can’t really do anything else but wait at this stage. Look at it this way: on the original schedule, you’d still be nearly 2 weeks away from even being interviewed.

Thank you so much for your reply. No, we do not.

Hi all! I have a question. mine is DV2021AS27***, and still haven't get any notification after I submit DS260 last year, and all documents on February.

Is there any idea when Judge Mehta will make decision about DV2021 lawsuit? I understand there are so many happening right now (congrats 9095 DV2020s!), but I don't have any progress on my case and being unable to relax since July 19th....

Your case is too high, so they have probably not even looked at your documents.

You need a win in the DV2021 lawsuits that calls for a broad preservation of visas.

Your situation is almost identical to mine. Hopefully Goh wins soon.

Thank you. Yes I am following them, but now recently they are more busy about DV2020 or other topic, and I couldn't get prospect when will they can get the result from Judge Mehta. For now we don't have any deadline for Judge Mehta or government attorney, right? Could it be like DV2020, to have result win/lose more than 1 year later???

First the lawyers have to achieve some sort of preservation of visas, only that we can keep our hope alive beyond September 30!
