Can you elaborate on what could be the criteria for the disqualifications?

At that point, usually duplicate entries, it’s possible something related to the new passport requirements could lead to more disqualifications too. Not sure if/how they check that passport details provided are valid.

I think there will be disqualification for example on the uploaded picture (un acceptable background) , maybe on the security questions.

Nope, if the photo validator accepts the photo then the computer won’t disqualify it. Any disqualification on invalid photo would happen at the interview. The same thing on answers to questions, the computer cannot disqualify people on any issue that it is up to a CO to make a decision on.
 
Hello people,

EU12XXX based in Sydney.

KCC has requested the docs! (Curious coincidence as I emailed them earlier in the week to unlock the DS260)

Considering there probably won't be any interviews before Jan 2021 (if the stars align), would it be wise to wait till later in the year as the local police certificate is only valid for 6 months?

When did you submit your DS-260? Was it a while ago or recently?

But if i uploaded a photo with dark blue background it will be accepted, i don't think the computer will reject it when selecting process starts.

Isn’t that precisely what Susie explained in her post?

About disqualification between 1st selection and winner announcements, i was saying there could be disqualification based on wrong photo background, and she said the disqualification in this case is at the interview.

Which is the same thing, no?
 
Hi , will it be too late to submit my ds260 in January? since I want to wait and see what happens after the end of December.

Nope. Not late at all. If everything goes well with the EO and the pandemic, then you’ll have plenty of time.

I know of people who had forgotten to check their selection status until the very last months of the DV. They managed to process everything before September 30th.

Of course, their number had already been current months before they had learned about their selection.
 
Hi,
I'm DV winner 2021EU11xxx. Yesterday I sent to KCC email about unlocking my DS260, because I wanted to make some small changes in there. Today, I received email that my DS is unlocked.
However, I don't see on CEAC website any change where I can edit my application and also whenever I enter application, I can only review it, but I can't make changes. Does anybody of you guys have the same problem?
Or does it take for example couple of days for them until my DS 260 is ready to be changed and this is only a technical problem?
thanks for your help!

Mine was editable after KCC unlocked. Perhaps you would want to email them to follow up.

Mine too, as soon as I got the message from KCC, it was completely editable! There must be a technical issue.
