DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hi I'm from Ghana and I've been selected for the next round but my wife's passport expired last month and she's renewing her passport at the moment. Will that be a problem?
 
Hello guys. I am a winner too. My case number is EU9XXX. I still have not filled DS260 form yet . Do I need hurry up ? Do I have a chance to get GC ? Thanks.

no it won't be a problem all you need to do is add the old passport to new passport when going for the interview.
 
Has any one else got this email? I received this on June 16th. My CS is AS116xx. I submitted primary applicants DS-260 but did not submit any derivative's. However I sent a unlock request on 10th and it was unlocked on the 15th. I still did not submit for the second time. Isn't it too early to request for documents? Maybe it triggered something when I first submitted the DS-260? Here is the complete email:

Subject: Further DV Documents Required

Congratulations on your selection for the 2021 Diversity Visa program!

Please read this email and carefully follow the instructions listed in order to have your application processed as quickly as possible.

You should review the list of required documents for processing below and send those to KCC to review as part of your application package, along with completing your DS-260. You will only be scheduled for interview at an overseas consular post after you have completed your DS-260 and submitted all documents required for your case and your visa rank number has become current.

All documents should be submitted as attachments to your email to ensure they are properly received. We ask that you use the following method to name and attach your files:
  • Your DV case number;
  • The full name of the applicant whose document you scanned; and
  • The document name or form number.
For example:

2021AF00938653_John_Doe_Passport.pdf

2021AF00938653_Jane_Doe_Birth_Certificate.pdf

Use your case number as the subject of the email. The maximum email size is 30MB. If the total size of your attachments is larger than 30MB, send multiple emails using your case number as the subject of each email. Please send your documents for KCC review only after you have collected all of the required documents for yourself and all accompanying family members. Send documents only to the kccdvdocuments@state.gov email address.

Documents photographed or scanned with a mobile phone are acceptable, but every document must be fully legible. Illegible or incomplete documents must be re-submitted and will delay processing of your case.

All documents not in English, or in the official language of the country in which the application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator that states that the translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate.

* IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not mail any documents to KCC. Any documents sent to KCC will not be processed and will be destroyed.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

You and each family member immigrating with you to the United States should collect the civil documents that are required to support your visa application.

Passport Biographic Page: You and each family member immigrating with you must submit a photocopy of the biographic data page of a currently valid passport. The biographic data page is the page with your photograph, name, date, and place of birth.

If the passport used by the principal applicant to enter the DV program differs from the one currently being submitted, you should also include a photocopy of the principal applicant’s passport listed on the DV entry with a written explanation for the change to KCC. The Department of State’s regulations provide for three limited exemptions from the passport requirement. These three exemptions include: individuals who are stateless; nationals of a Communist-controlled country who are unable to obtain a passport from the government of the Communist-controlled country; and beneficiaries of an individual waiver approved by the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State, pursuant to 22 CFR 42.2(g)(2). If you selected one of these exemptions on your DV entry, you should provide an explanation of your qualifications for the exemption you requested.

Birth Certificate: You and each family member immigrating with you must submit a scan of an original birth certificate or certified copy.

Marriage Certificate: If you are married, you should submit a scan of your original marriage certificate or a certified copy. Submitting this document now, if applicable, could help to expedite visa processing; if you do not provide this document now, you may be asked to provide this at your visa interview.

Marriage Termination Documentation: If you were previously married, you should submit scanned evidence of the termination of EVERY prior marriage you have had. Your scanned evidence must be of an original or certified copy of one of the following documents: FINAL legal divorce decree, death certificate, or annulment papers. Submitting this document now, if applicable, could help to expedite visa processing; if you do not provide this document now, you may be asked to provide this at your visa interview.

Military Records: If you served in the military of any country, you must submit a scanned copy of your military record.

Police Certificates: If you are 16 years of age or older, you must submit a scanned copy of a police certificate from all countries you have lived in using below criteria:


If you ...
AND you...
THEN submit a police certificate from...
Are 16 years old or older

Lived in your country of nationality for more than 6 months at any time in your life

Your country of nationality

Are 16 years old or older

Have lived in your country of current residence (if different from nationality) for more than 6 months

Your country of current residence

Have ever lived in another country for 12 months or more

Were 16 years or older at the time you lived there

The country where you used to live.

Were arrested for any reason, regardless of how long you lived in that city or country, and no matter what age you were

The city and/or country where you were arrested.

Court Record: If you have been convicted of a crime, provide a certified copy of each court record and any prison record.

Collect and submit your documents promptly. Your case will not be scheduled for a visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate until KCC has received and processed all required documents and the DS-260. Missing or illegible documents will delay processing of your case. If you cannot obtain a particular document, send an explanation of why you cannot obtain the document, as an attachment in .jpeg or .pdf format, to KCCDVDocuments@state.gov, with your case number in the subject line. Diversity visas are numerically limited and there is no guarantee a visa will be available. Only a consular officer can determine, at the time of the visa interview, if you are qualified to receive a Diversity Visa.

If you have questions about document submission, you may contact KCC at kccdv@state.gov. The KCC telephone number is 606-526-7500 (7:15 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. EST).

Yes, DV 2021 selectees are beginning to receive the document submission email request. No, it is not too early for KCC to start requesting document submission. Your submission your DS260, document submission request is the next phase.

No one can give you a precise answer (at least for now), But you can always go back on this tread and read the previous posts ( There were few post about the same question)

Of course you have a chance.

You still have time to submit DS260. If you wish to delay your process for a specific reason, you can send the form later in a few months.

If you want to be scheduled on time, probably you should submit the form by the end of July.

However this advise is based on an assumption that everything will go as it should, in a normal year.

1. No one in this forum is obligated to answer your question.
2. Consider toning down the entitlement attitude, it is off-putting and it reduces the chance of getting your questions answered accordingly.
3. Learn to be patient, the post in question has been less than 24 hours!

Thanks a lot . Love you my bear :)
 
Hi, I am from Hong Kong. My father was selected and I have some questions. I am curious if anyone can help me.

I am trying to confirm his qualifications

He did not graduate from high school and he retired in 2019/2/4. He did have at least 2 years of work experience. His title was Product Supervisor and he worked in a gas manufacture. I could not find his job title on O*Net.

Question 1: If his job title is not on O*Net, does it mean he is not qualified?

But I found 3 other ones that I think maybe similar.
1. First-Line Supervisors of Production and Operating Workers
2. Industrial Production Managers
3. General and Operations Managers
2 and 3 are zone 4 but 1 is just zone 2.

Question 2: If his job title is not on O*Net, would other job titles from O*Net be used? How would his alternative job title be determined?

When my dad was applying, he put my youngest sister and my mom in the application as his derivatives. My sister was 20 when he applied. But she will soon turn 21 in 2020/9/30.

Question 3: Would my sister still be qualified as his derivative if she is turning 21 in 2020/9/30?

Also, my sister has an F1 visa. She graduated from a US university recently and applied for OPT. She already got her EAD card and found a job, but she is currently in Hong Kong and she is thinking to go to the US to work some time.

Question 4: What does it mean for my sister to be my dad’s derivative for her situation given she has an F1 visa and is thinking of going to the US sometime to work? How should we handle this situation? What does she need to know for interview? Does she need to come back to Hong Kong and be with my dad for his interview? Does my sister need to leave with my dad on the same day he goes to the US?

Question 5: When would he need to submit Form DS-260?

Question 6: Does each of my dad’s derivatives, my youngest sister and my mother, need to submit a Form DS-260?

Question 7: What documents are needed for the derivatives?

Question 8: Can one of the derivatives becomes disqualified and not have enough documents and therefore affect my dad, the primary applicant's qualification?

Thank you

Can we wait until we see the ban. It is being widely reported in various and quite different ways. Let's wait until we have facts.
