DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

I don't know why people are fighting over nothing, but it is understandable some people can be self-centered. Most people that have won the lottery are living in undeveloped countries (I got EU citizenship, so I'm ok) and moving to USA is their once in a lifetime chance (LOTTERY) to fix everything in their lives. I can understand them becoming self centered right now and trying to take action with their peers, why not? And I can understand dv2020s are being self centered too. Those aren't different people, they are same people with dv2021 basically. Anyway, there is nothing suprising about some people being self centered here and try to organize other people to fight for their common goals & try to reduce their risks in this chaos, no matter whether if they are dv2020 or dv2021.

It’s not just a case of “everyone doing what is right for them”. It’s a case of some people being so selfish that they can’t hold off for JUST THREE WEEKS (despite having an entire fiscal year left) to allow KCC to focus their resources on the extremely time critical DV2020 cases.
And yes everyone has their self interest at heart, but the reason this forum works is that enough people do something for nothing to help others. If everyone was that selfish, this forum wouldn’t exist. People who act like that continually do usually eventually find no one bothers to answer their posts.
 
DV2021 should help themselves rapidly.. Do not forget that Trump's administration will appeal the decision and they can win as happened many times before. Just a matter of time, a few months, so DV2021 literally could be the worst DV FY ever.
"Could" being the operative word, as it stands right now DV21 hasnt even officially started so instead of taking valuable time from KCC who are trying to expedite DV20 cases why don't you use your time wisely and review the process, gather your documents, review the process again and gain as much knowledge as you can in the next 3 weeks - let DV20 folks have all the time possible to complete their process.
IF bad things happen during DV21 processing time you can be assured that everyone here will do whatever they can to assist you in getting through the process just like we are trying to do for DV20 people

Wise words. This is exactly what I am doing. I am 2021 selectee. I am just as, if not more than, nervous and worried as anyone else, considering the tension between my sovereign country and the Trump adminstration. And I almost always overthink and freak out at the slightest uncertainty. But being self-centered is one thing, inciting others to be disruptive to the whole process is another. And this is something I cannot condone.
 
I totally agree with you. Dv2020 had at-least their first few months interviews. But for 2021, the start itself is unpredictable. We should start speaking for dv2021 when its October 1st (officially its our fiscal year so no one can criticize us).
i agree with u.. same thoughts
 
I’m going to preface this response by saying I’m a DV21 selectee. (So my response doesn’t make me appear insensitive to other DV21 selectees).

1. The FY hasn’t even ended for DV20. We literally haven’t lost ANY time yet.
2. The elections have not taken place yet. As it stands, we would have at least 9 months to process our cases.
3. In the event of the above (reduced FY for DV21) KCC would probably be better equipped to handle as many cases as possible. All this because they might have come to anticipate the time constraints (which DV20 did not expect because everything was going fine until the pandemic).
DV2021 selectee here and I agree with you. Our time has not even started and we are already trying to steal time from those that are running out of it? It's despicable. We have to be helping them, we are all in the same boat (DV) here. And then, if needed, they will help us (which they have already done by bringing up this issue and setting precedent with the judge, they set a legal path for us if we ever need to use it).
Even if the president is reelected, I am not 100% sure he will keep renewing the ban once the elections are over, there will be no need.
Let's stay in out lane and help 2020 selectees in anything we can, as for now that is staying out of their way so they can process as many cases as possible.
 
Are there any selectees from Singapore? Would love to get in touch to share updates. Please reach out to me via PM or email me at testingtortoise@gm a i l .com.

Otherwise, I am new to this forum. Great to meet everyone.

There’s also a thread for selectees from Asia in this forum. You might also find more people posting in there.
 
This is not true. Just Mr. Kuck creating panic. Even if President Trump is re-elected (which is likely), he might not extend the ban. Even if he does, I have no reason to believe that Judge Mehta's order would not apply to us too. The situation would be exactly the same. A judge could not rule in favor of DV2020 and a few months later rule against DV2021 under the same circumstances. I really can't stand when lawyers generate panic.

Well, no one can predict the future, but in my view, situation of DV2020 is different than 2021, since DV2020 started and some visas were issued, it did hurt a lot of people when it stopped.

i think what the lawyer says that if trump wins, he really "could" extended no entry ban starting from January 1st , and since DV2021 application has not started proceeding (even if interviews were held), the visas can't help you to travel there, and yet they can't prove any "Damage" that happened like the 2020 winners since 2021 were 3 months delayed and yet no one received any single visa or interview since no visa sent any info yet for 2021 interview schedule yet.

i think that what he meant by no DV2021 if trump wins

Let's hope for the best to all winners and future winners
 
Dear mom, please help. I requested ds 260 unlock and updated my passport n social media info n submitted the application. But one thing kept bothering me after that. please answer
1, On part that says do u hv previous adresses? I selected "no" bacause i lived in same city since i turned 16 yrs old,but in different places in that same city. The problem is, since me n my parents lived in rented houses, i lost count of how many houses( they are too many) we lived in n i do not remember the dates and the exact adresses, as well as the house numbers.( where i am, land lords rent a room inside their compound and the renter usually do not know the house's number) what shall i do?
2, do i need to request kcc unlock for the second time to correct it?
3, can requesting unlock again and again affect my case?
4, on part that says previous jobs, i filled part time jobs that i worked at same time with my current job.that is, current job XX from 2012- till date. Previous job YY from 2012- to 1015.and another previous job ZZ from 2012- 2018.the ones i filled are not really previous jobs. They are rather part time jobs that i worked side by side with my current job.please advice what can i do about this?

1. Make the needed correction. List the ones you remember outside of your current address. Guesstimate the house number and duration of stay.
2 & 3. You can request unlock as many times as needed, not a problem.
4. Please use your discretion.

1. You’re not supposed to fill out the form based on what you think should be the “appropriate answer”. Fill it as correctly and as applicable to you.

2. I don’t know of any case where updating the form by listing the correct information has led to a denial.
