DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

congrats!
please number questions if more than one
1. Not sure if actually printed yet but when it is the dates should all be the same.
2. Yes. Not sure if CBP will actually care but the airlines will before agreeing to board you, so best to be safe. It is only once you actually have a green card that passport expiry no longer matters for boarding (I still had an argument with an airline who wanted to refuse my daughter boarding on this basis despite her having a green card so…I know they watch for it). (Obviously if you are returning back home for a while you will get another passport for her while you are there anyway?)
3. I would not phrase it as you have the “right” to be out the US because that’s not how it works, but one year is the period before which you are not assumed to have abandoned the green card. Remember you will need to file taxes with the irs as a resident regardless where you are physically or earn income once you have activated the green card. And bear in mind longer than 6 months out will affect the time in which you can naturalize, if that is important to you.

@SusieQQQ - thanks a lot for all this clarification. This is well understood

Thank you for your response @Britsimon!

I understand what you're saying. I was DQ that time when the KCC scheduled the interviews for the rest of the people (27th of August), so probably they have asked for a specific number and that's why I was left out.

Nevertheless now they are saying that they've asked the KCC again and never got response from them. I don't know is it true or not, just trying to push as much as I can.. 8 days left only. And sure there is the judges order the end of September, but I am afraid it won't help the plaintiffs and at the end it will be the same outcome for me. Just disappointed. :(

Yep - It may be that the 27th August was the final scheduling for your embassy. There is very little time left, and KCC will consider the need for a medical as well as the interview. BUT if they did make their additional capacity clear, then yes I would agree that KCC should have sent some more interviews (not necessarily yours, but some).
 
According to Curtis, Goodluck will not get any relief until a final order is issued which is well after 6 months from now.

Theoretically speaking, if we get a visa reservation order next week from Judge Mehta, it’s interesting to see will happen for the Goh case, since it is already briefed 2 months ago and is ready for final order.

where did he say that? Telegram, I suppose?
I thought that abandoning class action path means that Judge Mehta will give relief to all cases on Monday?

Yes in case Judge Mehta reserves visas, he will give relief to all cases. I am talking about the fact that Goodluck will not receive that relief until a final order is given on the case, which is after 6 months. Unlike Goh, which is fully briefed and awaiting final order.

Thank you!
Well that's potentially fantastic news for Goh plaintiffs. Looking forward to Monday, and I hope we will know everything after that call. Otherwise I'll go nuts :)
 
Hi, my parents were finally selected for the DV 2021. They are yet to fill in the DS-260 form. so on the form they ask 'is this child immigrating at a later date to join you?' if they select yes, will it dismiss or lower their chances for an interview? We are all 21 and above i.e my siblings and i

It is far too late to do anything about DV2021. Are you sure you don’t mean DV2022?
 
Grace kariuki said:
sorry i meant 2022

Seeing as you and your siblings are all over 21, none of you are able to immigrate with your parents as derivatives on the DV entry. They can sponsor you later after they get their own green cards (or once they become citizens, if you are married) but that is not a the question of whether you will be immigrating with them refers to the current case, not a future one.
 
You guys probably know this website, but I just found it and I think it provides amazing data and statistics on DV2021.

Susie, just in case QueenS is the member who selected France instead of Tunisia. The consulate put them on AP for 3 months and ended up approving the case.

Probably something to keep in mind in case we get other similar questions. It could be a case by case thing as well. Unsure.

Did they try to fix it by cross charging? I don’t remember details. If so they are lucky they had an accommodative embassy. If not it was an outright error.
