DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Sm1smom said:
We currently don’t know the number of DV 2021 selectees talkless the amount of holes in between.

Without knowing what the minor mistakes are, we can’t say if they need to be corrected or not. If you consider the errors minor, then maybe you don’t need to correct them. Too late? Your FY hasn’t even started.

Starting date of high school section and previous work location (shouldn't have trusted autocorrect). Also I am planning to renew my passport in upcoming weeks. Do you think It would be a good idea to fix those mistakes and resubmit my form with newer passport number?

Thanks in advance.

Get the new passport first, then make the changes as needed. Be sure to keep the old passport, or a copy of it at least since I’m assuming that is the passport you used for your entry submission.

When you get your new passport you can request KCC unlock your DS-260 and update the details as well as fix any errors you have made. As Mom said, DV2021 hasnt even started yet so you are definitely not too late

Is there a chance for the dv2021 to be canceled or postponed because of corona,I'm still in university and I have exams in a month ,i dont plan to take them but i'm afraid of the current situation.

Nothing is certain until you have a visa in your passport. Actually these days with flight disruptions even that’s still not certain. Usual advice is keep living your life until you actually know you are moving.
Also remember you will need to overcome public charge considerations to get a visa. Better qualifications help with that. What will you be showing if you drop out of university?
 
If the main applicant entered her spouse's and child's name and photos absolutely incorrectly during registration, can she still proceed on her own, without adding spouse and child as derivatives?

Absolutely incorrectly in what way? You’ll need to be more specific for proper guidance to be given.

There is no match at all, neither name, nor last name, I think she just put her name everywhere.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is what it is. I am asking this for someone else, who is trying to figure out her situation.

Are you saying in addition to being the main applicant, this person used their own information and uploaded their own photo for their spouse and kid also, in place of the spouse and kid’s actual information and photos when submitting their entry registration?

Yes that's exactly how it looks like.

So she failed to include her spouse and kid on her entry form. What she did will not be viewed as a mistake, it most likely will be interpreted as a fraudulent attempt. I don’t see her case getting approved.

If she tries to proceed by not including her spouse and kid, she either has to lie and claim she’s single with no child or admit she failed to include eligible family members as required. Either way, I see a denial as the outcome.

The photo conversation is related to the entry registration form which is mentioned in most of the posts. It has nothing to do with the DS260 form. There’s no requirement to upload photos with the DS260 forms.
 
I have a few questions about choosing between AOS vs CP. At what point do I have to make a final choice between the two? I mean, I can submit my DS-260 now regardless of which route I want to take, right? What else can I do? If I send the rest of my documents to KCC, does that make it harder or impossible to do AOS later if that looks like a better option? Basically I want to be ready to take advantage of whichever one looks more promising when the time comes. My case number is high enough (EU29xxx) that I will probably not know anything until next year anyway.

Let's say I submit all my stuff to KCC now, and in May the VB shows that my CN will become current for June. So I submit my I-485. Could I then end up getting an embassy interview scheduled in June, before USCIS processes my case? And in that case would I be well advised to get back home and do that interview rather than wait for USCIS? Thanks!

You can’t pursue both options simultaneously, that is more or less what you’ve described above. There are different steps that must be completed for each process prior to either being scheduled for a CP interview, or sending in the AOS package.
  • The first step starts with letting KCC know which option you’re going with, this is done when you send in your DS260 form.
  • If you’re going CP route, KCC would have had to send your KCC file to your home embassy when the interview gets scheduled. Once the case file gets sent to your home embassy, KCC cannot withdraw it at that point and forward it to the FO with jurisdiction over your AOS filing if you then decide to file AOS.
  • Filing AOS is not as simple as sending in the AOS package when your CN becomes current, there are certain steps you must have completed (not applicable to CP) before you can send in your AOS package.

Thanks...I was given bad advice then (elsewhere). Do you happen to know which section of the DS-260 contains the part where I indicate which option I'm using? I'm looking at a sample and I don't see it, but it's quite long.

So is it true to say that if you choose AOS first, you can switch later, but if you choose CP first, you're stuck with it?
