DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

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.

I can tell you for sure what does disqualify you - intentionally lying under penalty of perjury on your DS260. (And as you already pointed out it’s not practical to have lived there and worked where you worked so that lie they will probably figure out. ) Just state the factual addresses you lived and stop overthinking it, really. Please don’t be one of those people that comes back with a denial story because someone told them telling the truth was a bad idea.

Thank you.i will write those addresses which i can remember and timeline also which i can remember.
I thought that when you submit ds260 embassy check with the country system that timeline and addresses from ds260 correspond to where system has registered you,so i thought because system only see me on one address in my hometown that i should only list that address,because if the data from ds260 and the system in Serbia does not correspond i will be disqualified at the interview,that is the only reason.thank you

I think it's not the best idea to hold off on your document submission in the current scenario, it may cost you to get an appointment date later. Keep in mind that nowadays document confirmation takes time usually more than 2 months. I got mine after more than 4 months of document submission. And also if you got more documents to sent it may take more time.

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.

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.
 
Hello @Britsimon . I have checked the raw data in the past years in the website dvcharts.xarthisius.xyz and found that almost all of the scheduled cases had their "submitDate" in Oct and Nov (none in Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep ... ). The "submitDate" is the same as "Case Created" date in ceac.state.gov

I wonder how KCC identifies the "Case Created" date.

I have a very low case number but I finally received document confirmation from KCC on 18 Dec 2020. I am quite pessimistic about my interview schedule.

I think that's when they applied for the lottery.

?? 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.
1. If I submit the document now and then it would be possible that we will get an 2NL with interview schedule of June, which means we will VERY likely be going to the interview with one less family member because of quarantine requirement. What would happen if we attend interview with one less family member?
2. Do you mean it is still worth it to submit document now (at least get one procedure done and out of the way) even knowing that we (the family, not the KCC) are not ready for the interview at present? Still my concern is what would be the impression of the CO on our case if we as a whole family do not (and could not) show up at the interview? Would this complicate and delay our case even more than waiting until July or August when we are really and physically ready for the interview?
3. Sorry if I sounded like I did not care much. But in fact yes I do, considering this could very well be the last year Hong Kong is allowed to participated in the DV lottery. But I was thinking about the most optimal way to proceed and that I understood there are things that were beyond my control (such as the quarantine requirement) and how / when one can physically attend the interview. Your advise and suggestions are, as always, highly appreciated.
 
Hello everyone!
Please I have a quick question! Please do you know if the consular officers check your grades or they just want to see if you’ve actually completed High School with certificate. I’m asking because I failed one subject which is mathematics.
 
Hi there,

My case number is 2021EU25XXX (still not current). I am Italian and I have my official residency in Italy, where I have my current interview location. I have not submitted any documentation yet (because I have not being invited to do so).

I work for an agency of the United Nations (headquartered in the US) and my duty station is in Beirut (Lebanon) since 2017.

I am currently in Lebanon, with diplomatic status, but without being officially resident in Lebanon (in the sense that Lebanon does not issue any residency certification for diplomats).

So, since 2017, I lived most of the time in Lebanon (with official lease contracts) but kept my official residency in Rome.

I submitted the DS2560 with my present address in Rome and mentioned Lebanon only as a country I travelled to in the last 5 years.

Is this correct?
or should I update the list and include Lebanon?
if, and only if, I will be able to obtain the "police certificate", or in any case?

Thank you very much for anybody that can help.

Ronny

no, this is not correct. If you were actually living in Lebanon as you were, you need to state that on the DS260. Yes you will need a police certificate, assuming one is available.

You resided and worked in Lebanon, you DS260 should be listed as such, and not simply as you just visiting.
 
Thank you SusieQQQ, thank you Sm1smom.
I have been misleaded by the fact that "residenza" in Italian means only the official place registered by the municipality.
My fault.
I immediately ask the KCC to unlock my DS260.
Thank you again!!!

Both, with an explanation of why you have a new one. (Yes, even if it seems obvious to you, they require an explanation of the passport is not the one you entered with)

Thank you.
Can you advice on this.
Dear Susie Madam and Britsimon Sir,
My current interview location is Colombo, Sri Lanka. I am a Sri lankan citizen.I want to change it to Dhaka, Bangladesh as I have to urgently re locate there. Bangladesh is not eligible for DV 2021. Could you tell whether I can change the location to Dhaka? My CN number is 11***
Thanks
 
Hello Dear Sir,
I need help PLS if u can guide me
I m DV2021 my case number is 15K im staying in SCHENGEN AREA so after getting confirmation from KCC i send an email to US embassy before receiving interview date in Spain to double check about all documents ill need for interview etc and the reply was very sad :mad:

The U.S. Embassy in Spain is not processing DVs as we are affected by the Presidential Proclamation 10143, and for the moment we do not know how long the ban imposed by this Presidential Proclamation will continue.

what's the solution in my case ??

What does 5100 number mean in Visa center for Nepal? Asia is 13000. What does except means for Nepalis?
Click to expand...
It means just that. The cut-off of 13000 applies to the Asian region except for Nepali selectees. Nepali selectees whose case number is below 5100 may be invited to interview.
