DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

It doesn’t make sense to me that someone had a passport with the wrong DOB listed, they used that same passport without realizing the listed DOB doesn’t match what is actually written on their birth certificate. And now claims it “is not his fault since he presented copy of birth cert at that time” when they applied for the passport. How long did they have this “passport” for before it suddenly went missing? I’m sorry to say, that story is not going to cut it. KCC has no time to be cross-checking passport information with the Interpol or any other official body for that matter. The onus is on your brother to either present that passport or a copy of it.
Thank you.he got the pp in 2018.it was me who collected his passport from emmigration office.he was not at the city at that time. N i hurriedly placed in in my car's pocket without checking.he never used that pp. When he filled the dv aplication, he called me n asked me to text him the pp number, issue n expiry date.( since he knows his DOB n name by himself) n i did so.when he found out he won, he asked me to bring the pp, but i could not find it anywhere. So we went to the emmig office to ask for new. But it was closed due to pandemic. So we filled the ds 260 with lost pp info n submitted anyway.(not to be delayed but he reopened n added the new pp recently)).when the office opened about 45 days later, we went to emm office holding police cert. He filled new ap form n when she entered it on computer, she told us there is discrepancy. this is thefirst time we knew of it.i will never forgive myself for being negligent. Please advice how we should proceed. he is ethiopian, error is ondate only,rest of documents r fine. "the key" recomended i should get the copy from emm office. they said no n instead, they stampedthe pp no n lost sign in the new pp.n told him if needed ,the embassy can request.but even if he manages to get the copy, it still had error. please advice will it impact him?
 
You’re focusing on the error on date of birth on a passport he doesn’t have and presumably did not list as his date of birth on the entry. What you should he focusing on is his lack of proof that he had that passport in the first place. Like mom says, kcc are not going to be following things up with Interpol. I dont suppose he ever used that old passport to actually enter the US? That would at least help prove it existed.
No he never travelled with it. please tell me, can the error cost him his visa?
n i got a message here saying " u r awarded a trophy, first message" what does it mean please?

I don’t know what more to tell you than what I posted in #1719.

the ‘trophy’ is just some forum thing
 
Thank you.he has a great life in ethiopia(his own car,house,n a stable business). He can live here...the only thing i feel sad is me being the cause for loss of his opportunity.thanks for giving me the insight.atleast now, he can save his money n time.
 
I have been Taiwan for more than 6 months but I have submitted my documents to KCC in January...
So, should I send an email to KCC with Taiwan police certificate only, or resend all documents?
 
2 cases of DV2021 in Algeria were scheduled for interview
March 11 and march 19
I was able to go to ceac and retrieve two numbers randomly whose status says they are in transit and have been notified for interviews so hopefully a few more people are scheduled which is a positive sign
 
That's really great! I keep telling people to have all documents ready, because there might not be enough time to prepare everything, especially because of Covid restrictions everything takes forever. I hope someone will hear me.

My recommendation would be to resend everything.
 
Hello everyone!
I'm a DV2021 winner and I have some questions regarding the Schengen Ban.
I don't really understand how it works. I'm French and I saw on the immigration website that the travel restrictions are still effective in Schengen Area but I want to know how it does affect the Visa delivery process? It seems to have some exceptions but none about the DV visa.
My country is currently processing the vaccination (slowly but still...), I don't understand the Schengen Ban knowing the P10014 has been removed and Europe is fairly transparent regarding its Covid situation...
Can someone please explain me how this restrictions will affect our cases?
Thanks a lot for your replies.

The “Schengen ban” shouldn’t affect visa issuance. BUT some embassies have interpreted it as such.

It’s still early to tell how it will affect DV21 cases. But I think this issue may be brought up in the existing lawsuits. It also wouldn’t hurt to contact your embassy to ask if they would be willing to process your case (once you’re current). You’d have to mention that you will spend 14-days in a non-banned country.
 
People should always check with their own embassies just in case, we did see inconsistent application across schengen countries last year. Some embassies did issue despite the ban and leave it to individuals to make appropriate travel plans.
