"Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE. "

Not required for UAE unless the person currently resides in the UAE.
 
Four days later, the administration said it would also give federal officials more discretion in approving an immigration application through updates to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Policy Manual. The changes will provide officers with an expanded list of positive and negative factors they can use to either accept or reject applicants. Administration officials said the new language would make the decisions more consistent and fair, but immigrant advocates said new factors, such as the strength of family ties, history of employment and community standing, will lead to longer processing times and additional denials.

@SusieQQQ has already replied to this. But the ban has not been extended yet. We’ll know more in about 30 days. There’re aren’t limited options yet.

In the meantime, I’d get all my documents ready and confirm the information on the DS-260. The form looks rather long. I’ve only chipped away bits of it when I get bored.
 
Let’s not forget that Biden has specifically affirmed his commitment to keeping the DV program going.

From his policy documents: https://joebiden.com/immigration/#
  • Preserves preferences for diversity in the current system. Trump has set his sights on abolishing the Diversity Visa lottery. This is a program that brings up to 50,000 immigrants from underrepresented countries to the U.S. each year. He has disparaged the system as a “horror show” and repeatedly misrepresents how the lottery is administered, while demonizing and insulting with racist overtones those who receive the visas. Diversity preferences are essential to preserving a robust and vibrant immigration system. As president, Biden will reaffirm our core values and preserve the critical role of diversity preferences to ensure immigrants everywhere have the chance to legally become U.S. citizens.

Bidens administration will surely be a good time for DV winners.
But It's the high case numbers I'm worrying about. Specially Asia.

I see your concern. AS23000 while should not be considered a high number for the 2021 dv lottery, giving the circumstances were currently in, its still not clear. I hope all goes well for you and you can reunite with your parents in the U.S.
 
Hi

Is it possible to change the location of interview in DS-260 Form before submitting it? I tried but it is not possible

My aunt in Baghdad and she already choose the US embassy there, but they change on their website the DV lottery interview location to either (Ankara-Turkey / Abu DHABI-UAE / Doha-Qatar), so can she choose before sending the Form or KCC will choose for her?

Any suggestions please

First of all Bilal it would be very helpful to add in your timeline to your signature, this will help us better understand your situation if you are to have more questions in the future. Regarding your question what do you mean before submitting it? If you have not submitted the ds-260 you should be easily able to make the correction. If you have already submitted the ds-260 you need to get your application unlocked if you want to make any corrections. hope that helped.

No, it is not possible to change the interview location on the DS260 once a selection has been made. In this case, KCC will automatically assign her to one of those locations in place what she has selected. If you have a preference in this case, you can write KCC and indicate so after submitting the DS260 form.

The interview location section gets locked up upon selection, it cannot be changed regardless of if the DS260 form has been submitted or unlocked after submission.

Comments: Police certificates are only available for Indian nationals and non-Indian nationals currently living in India. Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) nationals applying outside India.

Thank You! I wish good luck to you too. Hope all Dv 2021 winners go through this successfully
 
I have a question, once you win the DV lottery, you can login using your credentials as, birth date, last name.

If you went inside the DS260 and changed the Surnames for example, would that require you to login to DS260 next time by entering the the new name or must use the same original name.
