DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

aakrah said:
Thank you very much Mom for your reply! Does it mean that I could have submitted DS-260 earlier than October? (my CN is AS0000XXX)

My son has green card and lives in the US. Can he fill affidavit support for me? Or we should find someone who is a US citizen?

1. Yes you could.
2. Yes he can.

Selectees processing CP do not make online payment, you will until you go for your interview to make the payment. Next step after DS260 is for KCC to request document submission - this may be a couple of months if you just submitted your DS260 form. Use the waiting period to start gathering your documents, especially if your CN is current.

Can I ask what does "Current" CN mean? Is there a way to find out for example on what number is the queue for EU region? Thank you in advance.

CN current means case number is below the number listed on the VB for a specific month which indicates when a selectee is eligible to be scheduled for their interview.

Link to the current VB showing EU CNs below 4,800 current for the month of Nov.

Good morning, thank you so much for the selfless job you do on this groups, hopefully I can get some clarification on a couple doubts I currently face: if I currently have an F1 and I have been selected, does submitting the DS260 makes my F1 invalid? If, God forbids, this fiscalyear gets complicated too and I cannot complete my DV process, what will happen to my F1?

1. No it doesn’t. However it signifies a demonstration of an immigration intent. Meaning should you end up not getting a GC, you may not be able to get a NIV in the future should you need to apply for a new one.

2. You retain your F1 status as long as you do not do anything to violate the status during the GC processing.

Thank you so so much for such a quick answer.
I was told that it is a bit of a "rule of thumb" that if two years have passed since you showed immigrant intent you are somewhat safe. But, as for now, I just wanted to make sure I was going to be able to finish my master's program and OPT if I end up not getting a GC.

So, to be 100% sure: submitting the DS260 and going back to my country for the interview, if something goes wrong (interviews get cancelled again, for example), do not automatically cancel my F1 and I would be able to go back to the US, right?

Again, very many thanks.

There's no such "rule of thumb" AFAIK. One will need to convince the IO they no longer have an immigrant intent, and that may be tough to overcome for some, regardless of the number of years since the immigrant intent was demonstrated.

Like I already stated, a demonstrated immigrant intent does not automatically cancel an existing NIV as long as you do not do anything to violate the status. However, there's no such thing as "100% sure" in terms of being admitted to the US, admission or re-admission is always at the discretion of the CBP. Only a USC is 100% guaranteed of admission or re-admission to the US.
 
Thank you so much Sm1smom. It makes more sense now. So the current case for EU is 4800 and my number is EU00029XXX. This means there is a really long time until I am being called correct?

Correct. And I believe Susie tried explaining this to you earlier on when you kept worrying about not receiving the document submission email from KCC.

Yes maybe. I had no idea what current CN meant but now it makes more sense. Thank you to you both :)
 
hello sir. this is an Asia winner in Hong Kong, case number AS11XXX. I found some Taiwan winner with number 12XXX received KCC email requesting for documentations, in Sept. But we have not receive any email from KCC yet. Since we are not eligible for DV 2022, will the DV2021 Hong Kong winners being dropped out the game? It's like no one receiving KCC email since DV2022 announcement.

Hi,

Here are also the winner from Hong Kong.
My CN number is AS5XXX and I have received the e-mail to request the document.
When did you sent out your DS-260? Have you make sure the process in DS-260 is turned to "complete"?
If your DS-260 is turned to "Complete" and you've sent the application over 1.5 month,
I think you better to send a e-mail to KCC because there was some cases in the past which the winner cannot received the request document e-mail.

Also, I think there are no change in DV-2021. The only way you need to concern is the end of the travel ban will postpone or not.

Anyway, congratulation and hopefully we will get the green card in next year.

I submitted DS260 in mid June. Thank you. Then I shall email KCC to check for the updates.
 
Hi everyone,

I have a question that I could not find the answer for. When we registered for the DV lottery my family was in the US and we registered also our son, that is a US citizen, in the DV lottery application and now when filling the DS-260 his entry is there, should I fill the DS-260 for him as well or contact KCC to remove him from there?

Thank you,

Remove him, instructions are actually clear about this. He is a US citizen already, he cannot get a US visa/green card.
(You won’t be penalized for having included him on the entry.)
