It depends what you’re changing. If you’re just changing your US mailing address, I doubt it would cause noticeable delays. Changing information that requires more processing (e.g. changing passports or past travel info to the US) may cause some delay.
the catch-22 (which isn’t really one) is that if it is major enough to require a delay it definitely needs to be done at this stage so that it’s sorted out before interview. You never want to be put on AP anyway, but this year may be a particularly tricky year to go on AP.
You’re overthinking it. List the actual addresses you rented at.No one at the US embassy cares if it is on your ID or not. They do care that you are honest in your answers.
The address on your passport or ID are irrelevant to the DS260 form. List the address of places you’ve actually lived in.
The only problem is that it does not exist in the system that i rented appartment on those addresses.The owner of apartment in Serbia only give me the key and that is all.He does not go to the police to say "Hey i have renter on my address i want police/municipality to have him registered in the archives that he lived on my address".That regular system does not exist in Serbia,so if i enter all addresses where i lived the embassy cannot check those addresses because the owners of the apartments did not registered me to the police/municipality that i lived there,that is the problem.If i enter that data i can be disqualified because embassy cannot check those addresses,that is the problem.The only address which serbian system can recognize is my address in my hometown.Thanks for the replies.
Where on earth did you get the warped information that you will be disqualified if the embassy is indeed unable to verify you lived in those places in Serbia? So you will lie on the DS260 by stating you lived in your home town all those years when you were physically present/living in other cities? We’ve already told you to go ahead and list the correct address of the different places you did live at, but go ahead as you wish.
Who told you the embassy disqualifies you if they cannot find you at every past address you listed? You think they even try to do that? What do you suppose they do for people whose landlords have moved on, or when buildings have been demolished to build a mall,or whatever? You really are getting some odd information somewhere. What do you suppose they do in countries where there is barely even a formal address system in some towns much less formal landlord relationships? Or countries that don’t require you to have some sort of official address on your ID at all times? I don’t know what “regular system” you are talking about where landlords register people at the police or municipality but it doesn’t exist anywhere I ever lived, including the US.
Thank you.i will write those addresses which i can remember and timeline also which i can remember.
Thanks for the advise. Of course I would like to have the whole thing wrapped up as soon as possible. But due to the fact that one of the family member would not be able to join the interview until June as he is studying in the UK, carefully timing each of our application steps is the only way we could play this stressful game. I was following BritSimon's earlier advise of doing the interview together instead of splitting up the family to 2 interview locations.
as long as you are aware it’s not possible to fine tune. You know interview notices for June will be sent out next month, right? You probably already won’t get a June date if you haven’t submitted documents yet.
Absolutely Not. As long as you resubmit it on time.
Thank you for the reminder. It's not just the school term that is keeping him in the UK. The Covid related travel restrictions are not helping either. But that is nothing we can do. We will just pray that there will still be visa quota left in July or August. If not, good luck to everyone else.
I think that's when they applied for the lottery.
Thank you. I think you are correct as I did focus on the month only~
?? Visa quota is not the problem. Rather pray that your documents will be processed in time, a fact that you can actually do something about rather than just pray. I don’t think you got the point I was making, at all. You haven’t even submitted documents yet. Based on that fact alone, and if you submit very soon, July is probably the earliest you can hope for an interview. August or September probably more likely. That leaves you with just about no wiggle room for delays. And bear in mind when the new results get released in May, KCC is going to be inundated with DS260s and enquiries from DV22 selectees, and everything is going to slow down, including processing of DV21 documents. You say you don’t want to interview before June. It is already just about impossible for you to interview before June. Your last comment however does make it seem like this is not particularly important to you guys, not sure if it meant to come across like that, but maybe there is no point continually urging you not to miss out if it’s not such a big deal as it is to others here.
I don't get it @SusieQQQ.
