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.

This can be misleading, let’s be careful with the choice of words when responding to questions from others. There are instances where unlocking and updating the DS260 can lead to a delay. Stating it absolutely cannot is inaccurate.

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
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 ??

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.

This has been an ongoing issue for selectees who have chosen to interview in banned countries/regions. It’s not unique to just you. See here: PP10143.Hello Dear Sir,

Your options are (but not limited to):
1. Ask to have you case moved to a non-banned country.
2. Wait (and hope) that the ban will be removed either by the president or the lawsuits [see point 3].
3. Join one of the paid lawsuits (if that’s your thing).

Yes you can change the interview location to US Embassy Dhaka if you're now based in Bangladesh. You'll need to contact KCC and request they unlock your DS260 forms following which you'll need to update the home address to reflect your new address, then submit the form and let KCC you've relocated and will be interviewing in Dhaka.

You can interview in a country that is not eligible, sure (we have many people interview in the UK every year for example), but in order to change location you need to have a permanent address and some form of legal residence there (work, student, etc). Depending when your case number is current you may delay the interview by changing location. I would also advise you to investigate the status of immigrant visa interviews at Dhaka given that many embassies are still operating at reduced capacity and giving priority to interviews for family of USCs. You may find it is better for you (not saying it is but it may be) to fly to Colombo for the interview rather than trying to move it.
You do understand you will have maximum 6 months to use your diversity visa, correct? Just asking as urgent relocation ahead of being issued an immigrant visa for somewhere else seems a little contradictory.
when does KCC historically send 2NL during the month ? I remember @Britsimon mentioned in a video that it comes in two batches per month , I can't find the video to check the approximate dates

I requested to unlock my DS260 to edit my travel history of estimated dates of stay in countries last 5 years.
Not big difference, actually it’s a matter of months, not years difference.
example: one of the countries dates were (my best guess at the time of filling DS260) : 01/01/2015 and when I checked my old passport I found out that the exact date was 25/04/2015
Should I go ahead and edit my DS260 now or can I do that at interview?
Is this something that can get me denied

No it won’t get you denied
may as well do it now. It shouldn’t cause a delay. Who knows what they will decide needs AP for if you bring up changed info during an interview however.
hi i am a winner 2021as8*** my visa bulletin is current this April 2021. i submitted ds260 since June 2020. and paid for DV fee. i am still waiting for 2nls and dv fee payment received. i called kcc and email them asking i would like to change interview location from CP to AOS but no response. it had been a month already. any suggestions for me please, should i send the document to uscis or else? thank you so much

It seems something is weird about the "paid for DV fee" part as at this stage no one is supposed to pay anything...
If you do AOS like OP seems to be trying to do or switch to, you need to pay a fee before you even send the documents. He might mean that one.

Please keep AOS questions to the AOS thread, as you can see it is creating confusion here due to the different processes.

Depends. The usual criterion is that the high school diploma has to be good enough for a university entrance. In some countries this will depend on which subjects are passed or what grades are attained.
