DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hi! Just recieved the submit documents email.
If i am not married and no childs, i have to submit only passport, birth certificate and police certificate only, i am correct?

About police certificate, niether in the us department or in the kcc mail says that the police ceritificate expires. But in some forums i’ve read that yes, expires in one year. This is true?
because of my high number i would have to submit the documents in august thinking that my interview could be near that date.

This is correct or im wrong? Thank you all :)

Check the Supporting Documents section of the If You Are Selected page of the DV website (State Dept). I can't post a link, sorry. Here's the relevant section:

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:


  • You are more than 16 years old;
  • The police certificate was obtained more than one year ago; and
  • You still live in the country that issued the certificate.

Hi and congrats y'all ! I have dual citizenship, Algerian + French.
My country of eligibility is Algeria since I was born there, but I have asked for a interview in France (living there).
Which main passport should i put on my DS260 ? I am only travelling with my french passport, except when going to Algeria; my country of residence is France etc.
I am a bit confused because the passport I have put on my lottery application was the algerian one.
Does anyone could advise ?

Also, I was previously employed in the US and then in Denmark but I just came back in France a few days ago. I am currently looking for a job. My current situation would be "Not employed". Is this could be a big deal ? Should i wait until a get a new position before submitting my DS ? (I am working in Finance)

Thanks a lot and good luck!

I received this on June 16th.
Email address: KCCDV@state.gov
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).

Good morning! After 30 years of trying I am now randomly selected for DV 2021. I tried the DS-260 form but I do not understand the starting page. They ask for my case number. That's ok. But what is my Electronic Diversity Visa Confirmation Number? Is that the same as my case number?
Thanks for the help!
