DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hello.

Regarding the supporting documents and the police certificate (and aside from the ban). If I submit my supporting documents now and my police certificate expires a couple of days before my interview next year, would it be enough if I bring a new one to the interview?

It seems to be the case on Travel State.govs website, but just want to make sure as there are many experienced people here with this type of visa.

"Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:"


Would this also be the case if my passport has expired?
I bring the new one and the old one to the interview, or do I need to do anything before that as submit a new one before?

Thank you and sorry for possibly asking stupid questions.
both, bring the expired and new certificates to your interview
what is your DV FY 2021 and CN?
 
Hi, I have a question.

Once we have submitted all the documents, will they send a confirmation e-mail or reflect that on the DS-260 web page?

Thank you

Once you submit documents, you just get an automatic reply.

Depending on your case number, later you will receive another email, informing you that your documents have been processed.

This may take time, in automatic email they explain that they will process your documents within 3-6 weeks. However if your CN is low and you are about to become current you might receive such email sooner. If your case number is high and you send docs now, they will probably get back to you after few months.

This is what they did last year for DV2020. They change some details from time to time though.
 
Hi
1.While submitting /signing Ds260 for a family you are required to put pass port number , is it for the applicant or the family?

2. I got a son in April 2020 , on the travelling document should i put others since i have no passport for my newborn son.

Thank you.

1. There is no DS260 “for a family”. A DS260 form must be filled out for each family member who will be immigrating (therefore each form has his/her own passport number)
2. Yes, but you w obviously need a passport for him for the interview.
 
when should DS260 be submitted for people got selected for DV-2021?

There is no deadline as such (well, one should probably submit everything by March/April, if they want their case processed).

The lower case number is, sooner you should fill out DS260. In any case, even if your CN is low, you are still good to wait for 1-2 months in this given situation.
 
ds260 question:

1. in adresses where you have live. if i have put only my document adress it is ok?
i rented a place without bill 1 year. can be a problem with this? thinking that there is no record for this? or i should unlock the form and add this address.

2. in de education part. i completed an advanced degree that was 3 days per month for 3 years in university. when i put the university dates i completed with my main cours date (not the advance degree). should i put the end of that degree? altought it was only 3 days per month?

3. the name part NATIVE alphabet, if my name doesnt have any native difference i have to put not apply?
how many times you can unlock the form to make changes?

i have a really high case numer SA41XX

1. It doesn’t ask you for documentation anywhere. If you have lived there, you must list it.
2. Yes you should put the actual date you got the advanced degree too. It doesn’t matter if it was part time. You should have two degrees and two end dates listed, even if they were both at the same university.
3. you can tick does not apply.


You can unlock as many times as you want but it’s a much better idea to carefully read and answer the questions properly and just do it once. There’s absolutely no rush.
 
in the question: number of educational institutions attendend, are secondary level of above? or incluide all since you were a child.
thank you
 
Hello everyone,
I a lottory winner and I am currently unable to login to my DS-260 due to the following error:
The Case Number entered is currently unavailable. Please try again later or contact the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC).
I have been trying for weeks now with different browsers and when I contact KCC they keep sending the me same template email that remove zeros from cases number but that does not help. I was wondering if experienced members of the forum are aware of any solution for this problem!
Thanks

It’s explained on the form. Secondary. Please be sure to read the instructions/clarification for each question carefully.

i answered this on the other thread already. You need to slow down and read the instructions you have already been given (in the link from your selection letter). Really, we dont mind answering questions, but it gets tiring to get repeatedly asked things that are already either clearly explained in the DS260 or when the answers are already there in the link from your selection letter.
 
My husband and I entered for the fourth time this year and I have been selected for further processing. We are from Sri Lanka and our case number is 2021AS00026XXX.

Anyone have any idea what our chances are with a case number in this range?

Thank you for your kind consideration.

At this point no one can tell if your number is high or low but wait couple of more month till they publish the statistics, then you can get an idea. But once the CEAC data is available, you will know for sure. Till then go to Britsimons web page and read, a lot of useful resources are there.
