DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

TheKey said:
Consulates weren’t interviewing people because of the ban and/or local limitations due to COVID. If the Schengen ban was considered then there would not be any visas issued for DV20 in those countries. But the stats say otherwise.

You can see that many countries that were/are subject to the Schengen ban (under a different administration) still had visas issued in December.

I am just quoting what the lawyers said. I will email KCC and my embassy tomorrow to see what they say. I know Schengen countries issued some visas but those were under NIE (like F1s). Honestly, that's all the info I got and I heard it from the lawyers, I still don't have any information of my own one way or another

I’m curious to see which lawyers said this. I haven’t seen anything from the lawyers who were/are driving the litigation.

They just did, literally, on their live video. Charles Kuck and Greg Siskind. It ended a few minutes ago and you can find it on their Facebook pages.

Thanks. I’m not really a fan of watching videos about these sort of things.

If that’s the case then I suppose you would have to contact the embassy/consulate when you’re current. Explain that you’ll spend 14 days in an unbanned country. It’s still early to tell how embassies/consulates will treat this case.

I don't know who it will be up to, doesn't KCC schedule the interviews? I have been current for a while now but can't interview until this summer

Yes, KCC (in conjunction with DoS) do the scheduling. But if your case is stuck at KCC and you’re ready to be scheduled. You can always email them to move your case to the consulate/embassy.

The ink on the proclamation hasn’t dried out yet. So we’ll have to see how KCC and the consulates/embassies apply the new proclamation.

Also, there’s obviously a huge backlog. So I’m not sure how they’ll address that.
 
They will have to start scheduling interviews immediately at least at fully functional embassies in full capacity. We have waited enough.
 
Let me ask you a question.

I have already submitted the DS260 and have submitted Further documents.

What should I do if I change my job and address before the interview?

Do I need to resubmit my DS260?

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

So you mean, Should I mention that in the interview? Do I need to prove it with documents in the interview?

Just mention the update. No you don’t need proof, you weren’t asked for any other proof of jobs rights?

Please help . Thanks a lot .
 
I submitted all required documents to KCC except one of the many police clearance certificates required from the countries I have been to in the last 5 years.
I have acknowledgment of receipt of application for this specific police clearance since last October but haven't heard any feedback from the Embassy regarding my application status. I'm outside the country and can't go in person to check or ask.

So after submitting all docs required, I sent a letter in PDF format to KCC explaining the whole situation. I backed that up with the actual acknowledgement of receipt and attached that into the email as well.

Do you think they could sort of "waive" that specific police clearance from that specific country since I already submitted 2 police certificates from other counties I have been in?

I know that no interviews could be scheduled until ALL document requirements have been satisfied.

Any similar situation?

That's an interesting position to be in. You can certainly show best effort, and if the documents are never provided by the other side, you are sort of stuck. KCC is purely admin. If you get an interview you can explain this to the case officer who can suggest further actions before he issues the visa, or reject it I guess. The latter would be rather cruel if you ask me. Keep us all posted.

Which country never replied btw?

Forgive my ignorance, but hasn't 30 Sept 2020 been and gone, and pretty much nothing can be done about that? The train has left the station. Only DV2021 is being worked on now.
Happy to be corrected
