DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Masda said:
From this year some 2020 selectees were asked to fill it. Those who had sponsorship (L -134) and got job invitation beforehand tackled this form otherwise there is a great chance they will ask you to fill this form. Interviews were more demanding than ever this year due to this new public charge rule.

Yes, completing the form and having it at the interview is standard practice. However, whether the individual CO will ask for it is a different story. Hence the suggestion is to have it and not need it. Then not have it and need it.

Regarding the health insurance, some say there was a judge ruling that it is not necessary to have it for immigration type visa
Can anyone who has a knowledge update us?

The health insurance requirement is still blocked, but other aspects of public charge are still in force as they have been for many years. So - technically you do not need to show health insurance, but I have explained how you can show quotes for plans to satisfy the interview requirement if it gets unblocked. A wise person would spend that extra time, just in case.

1. CN is a bit high
2. Why would you?
3. Unless you have a very good reason to not submit it, i would say submit the application ASAP. I received result on June 7 i submitted my DS260 on June 8.

Well, the reason not to submit ASAP with a high number is declaration of immigrant intent when you are not assured of an interview.
We don’t know what are really high numbers until they publish total number of selectees.

I can see how immigration intent can be used as a reason to reject an application in the future, even though it shouldn't. Yes i intended to immigrate legally since i was selected for the dv lottery, that does not mean i will break the law and overstay my visa if i want to come to the united states on any other visa.

Yes i agree were not certain what a high number is, In normal circumstances 46000 is a high number for AF but based on previous years its not an unreachable number. god only knows what effects the immigration ban will have on 2021 case numbers.

I would NOT submit the DS yet, at least until we see what happens with elections, EO, lawsuits, numbers when the FY begins, etc. Specially having a high number.

Actually, “ even though it shouldn't” is an incorrect statement - by law, every applicant for a non-immigrant visa is presumed to have immigrant intent unless it can be proven otherwise. So you will be starting from a base where you have confirmed that yourself, the opposite of proving you don’t have immigrant intent. Not saying it’s impossible to get a non immigrant visa after that but you’ve made it much harder. Section 214(b) of the INA.

Please don’t rush to submit your DS260.
Also go look at BritSimonsays website for more information about why you should wait to submit, as well as information about filling it out if you absolutely insist on submitting now even though (unless the lawsuit is successful) no visas are available to anyone until at least January, much less your number.

do you think is that a good idea?
Click to expand...
I think it is the best and wisest idea, I am in the low 6K and I will do that. If you fill it, there will be immigrant intent in your record and it will make it extremely complicated to get any other kind of non immigrant visa (F1, B1, J1, H1B... may even affect an ESTA). Sure, given that situation you could try and explain it but it will be reaaaaaaaaaally complicated and why take the risk anyway given there is another option? If things do get better by then, you will have plenty of time to fill it.

Whoever does not submit DS260 is truly a schmuck. People here will advise you not to send DS260 so you leave a chance for them to be interviewed. Einstein said he was not sure human's stupidity has limits. Here we are seeing he was right. Submit your DS260 Asap you shmucks. That is why you attended the Dv lottery at the first place.

The one who clearly doesn’t understand the DV process, who doesn’t understand the fact that submitting the DS260 form with a high CN that may potentially not become current and his encouraging others to demonstrate an immigrant intent when they may not become current comes across more like the schmuck to me.
 
Some of us have been around here since we got our own green cards via DV some years back. We have absolutely no ulterior motives in trying to stop people getting visas, as we got ours years back. We are here simply to help people, having seen what works and what doesn't in prior years.
I also believe strongly that people who resort to name calling and cussing on public forums usually do so to try draw attention away from the fact that they don’t actually have a logical argument. I don’t think anyone who acts like a child calling people names is showing that they understand enough for their “advice“ to be followed.
