DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Yes, I got the automated confirmation of submission as soon as I submitted the DS 260. That was in June, though. No word from them and I am worried about the delay.

I get your point about the type of question. Can they at least give me any indication as to when that document request may come through given that I submitted my DS 260 nearly four months ago?

What’s your case number? You may have submitted nearly 4 months ago, but we are not even one week into the 2021 fiscal year, and there are no interviews before January at the earliest. From KCC perspective, what’s the rush? Anyway, you’ve sent them 2 emails right? Assuming you formatted them properly, just wait for them to respond.

Hey guys, I'm one of the lucky ones selected in DV2021 (EU22xxx), and have a few questions regarding DS-260.

1: In answering the question "Have you traveled to any countries within the last five years", will I need to list every country I've been traveling to, or only the ones where I've been to for work related travel (since it's the section "work/education/training information")?

2: Do only full-time jobs have to be mentioned as previous work experience, or do I need to list all part-time research assistant/tutoring jobs and side jobs like waiting tables I had during my time at university?

3: Since applying for DV2021, I've separated from my husband and we are currently in the process of getting a divorce. However, this will still take until ~June 2021, so naturally I listed my husband during the application process. Since he won't be accompanying me, I will answer "no" to the questions asking whether my husband will now or later immigrate to the US with me. However, the application page says "each applicant must complete form DS-260", and in section "Applicant information" my husband is listed as accompany, suggesting that the application is stalled until either he submits the form or is somehow removed. Is this something I need to worry about, or will my application be processed by KCC, regardless of him filling out the form?

Thanks a lot!!

1. yes you need to list ALL countries visited, regardless of the reason
2. ALL your employment needs to be listed, not just full time work
3. Assuming he is your derivative, you do not need to fill in the DS-260 for him, you will still be processed and he obviously will not.
 
Do you know cases where people registered (back in Oct-Nov) not with the passport number (international travelling document), but with the local ID number? Do you think these people can be disqualified? I'm not asking for myself, if that matters.

As far as i know, at submission valid passports and travel documents are only accepted

I think they will still risk to attend the interview.

Are there such cases on this forum?

The passport requirement was new from DV2020 and of course there ended up being not many interviews so there is not much to go on in terms of actual experience. It seems though from what we do know that they are being very strict on this requirement and your friends can expect to be disqualified. It’s crystal clear from the rules that what they submitted is not acceptable. But please update us after they interview so we do have some actual experience for the next person that asks.

The passport requirement started with DV2021.
 
DV-2022 application has opened. As a "winner" for 2021 there would normally be no reason to apply, but I've got to say that at the moment I'm seriously considering it as a backup. Any reason not to do this?
