DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

I have stayed in two different countries in the last 5 years for more than 12 months each. I know I should obtain Police Clearance Certificates from each country as part of the civil document requirements. Now with most embassies closed due to pandemic, I cannot obtain the required Police Clearance from each embassy of the countries that I have stayed in.
How do I explain this to KCC when they ask for required civil documents?

Check out the reciprocity page for what countries you have been in - there should be links to where you need to go for each or if there are special exceptions etc

hello
I checked the website, for example in UAE : Police Clearance Certificate (issued by Emirates) or Criminal Clearance Certificate (federal) or Good Conduct Certificate
any one of these certificates are sufficient ?

Also regarding the Birth certificate, i have one in Arabic since 1986 (it is SO OLD), i had it translated it maybe 5 years ago, can i use the same old translation or i have to make new translation for newer date ?
and is it better to obtain new birth certificate (new design and comes in English already) and send both or stick with the original and translation certificate ?

Regards
 
and one more questions, my passport expires on April 2021, I will start filling DS-260 during these days. Should be this a problem, when I will renew the passport? Means the DS-260 with the current passport.

I'm applying from UAE so I can answer your questions
Regarding police certificate I used Federal clearance certificate from MOI app cheaper and faster and KCC accepted

Regarding birth certificate keep the old one don't issue a new one ,if the translation is from legal office go forward otherwise translate it from legal office

If you have time to unlock and update the DS260 with your new passport details before your interview then do so, otherwise just take your old passport (or copy of bio page if your country requires you to hand your old one back) as well as the new one to interview,

my CN is 32K, so if everything goes well, I will not have an interview till the next summer, also I have a valid B2 visa till 2022 in the current passport. I cannot renew the passport till expires.

You‘d need both old and new passports to use the B visa beyond current passport expiry but of course optimal outcome is that the B visa gets cancelled because you get a DV visa.

Glad to have someone from the same area, yesterday i opened the MOI app, and saw the "Criminal Clearance Certificate" which is the federal option.

and regarding the birthday certificate, it is translated from a legal office (considered one of the oldest offices in Abu Dhabi)
Thank you again for your help

Hi everybody,
I have a simple question:
For DV aged ones, is the age a factor that you apprehend ?.

That's mildly interesting. Just why would you need to move from Canada, any personal reasons or other?

I’m also living in Canada (citizen) and considering to move to US. It’s not that it would be a huge disappointment if this wouldn’t happen but it seems that in US the housing market is way more cheaper (with some exceptions), taxes may be lower (some states may have lower taxes than what we pay over here). Also, job market is much more bigger with lots of opportunities to improve the income. The number one reason that I would consider for entering the lottery would be the weather. We can’t get used to the Canadian winter which is very long and depressing specifically for those with small kids. The weather is US is warmer. There are lots of benefits in Canada (crime rate, nice people, “free” healthcare, beautiful summers). If we will get our visas we will try to see if we can get a comparable paying jobs in US. If so and there is a cheaper house to buy than the one we currently own - this is no brainer in terms of improving our quality of life.

We were very lucky where both of us were selectee after entering for the very first time which is un heard of. My husband is selected from EU with a reasonable case number 21xxx while my Asian case number seems to be borderline with less chances (29xxx).

Very similar situation here, apart from the weather. Living in Australia, but the cost of living, and especially housing, is beyond comprehension.
It's a wonderful country, if you already own a home, but joining as an immigrant, it' nearly impossible to break into the housing market whilst you have a family and only 1 of you is working.

With a green card it would make finding work in US easier for sure. Doesn't help that it was so badly affected by COVID, but hopefully finance/tech sector is still holding up.
 
Hi,

My name as per my birth certificate and the passport is,

"James Hans Flit Roy"

and "James" is my surname. But in my A/L result sheet, my name has been printed as,

"Hans Flit Roy".

I checked with the examination department and they say it's too old and they can't change it. Will that be an issue? Can I use an affidavit to resolve this matter?

Thank You.

Doesn’t matter, as long as it’s reasonably obvious it’s yours, which it sounds like it should be.
