DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Dear Everyone

I have received an email from KCC to send them the required documents (police and birth certificate, and passport copy). However, I ran into some bureaucracy issues in my home country when trying to collect all the documents. Is it a problem if I am only able to send them the required documents within 1 month? Would it have any impact on my application?

You’ll be fine. Send the documents when everything is ready.

DS260 form submission is recommended.

You were previously directed to the AOS thread. You need to post AOS related questions on the AOS thread, if you wish to receive accurate/proper guidance.
 
Hi all
Can every winner mention his/her case number and region/country so we can have a rough idea what is the high number
My case number 2021AF21xxx Egypt
 
Hey guys, curious. I have only selected my interview location so far on DS-260 and it doesn't seem like I can edit it. Is there a reason why? That's literally the only thing I have done so far on my application. Thanks! (Selected Vancouver but realized that only Montreal processes DVs)

That's normal. They choose the embassy based on where you live, regardless of what you selected initially. Only KCC can update the field once selected for the first time.

They actually selected Montreal initially but I changed for Vancouver and can’t edit anymore. Should I ask to unlock? Or they will manually make the change?

There are no immigrant visa interviews in Vancouver, Montreal is the only option for Canada. Whatever you select, if it’s Canada it will be scheduled for Montreal.
 
Hello.

Regarding the supporting documents and the police certificate (and aside from the ban). If I submit my supporting documents now and my police certificate expires a couple of days before my interview next year, would it be enough if I bring a new one to the interview?

It seems to be the case on Travel State.govs website, but just want to make sure as there are many experienced people here with this type of visa.

"Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:"


Would this also be the case if my passport has expired?
I bring the new one and the old one to the interview, or do I need to do anything before that as submit a new one before?

Thank you and sorry for possibly asking stupid questions.

Yes to both. It’s preferable to update the DS260 with your new passport details if you get one.
 
Hi Experts, If I get a new passport just before the interview, will I be able to update it in the DS 260 or I simply bring the new passport to the interview and explain. Thanks

It will be too late to unlock the DS260 if you already have an interview scheduled. Bring it along and also the old one (or a copy of the bio page of the old one if you are from a county that takes old passports back)
 
Hi, I have a question.

Once we have submitted all the documents, will they send a confirmation e-mail or reflect that on the DS-260 web page?

Thank you

Thank you

Once you submit documents, you just get an automatic reply.

Depending on your case number, later you will receive another email, informing you that your documents have been processed.

This may take time, in automatic email they explain that they will process your documents within 3-6 weeks. However if your CN is low and you are about to become current you might receive such email sooner. If your case number is high and you send docs now, they will probably get back to you after few months.

This is what they did last year for DV2020. They change some details from time to time though.
 
Hi
1.While submitting /signing Ds260 for a family you are required to put pass port number , is it for the applicant or the family?

2. I got a son in April 2020 , on the travelling document should i put others since i have no passport for my newborn son.

Thank you.
