Hello mom, inam DV 2021 selectee.i lost my marriagr certificte, birth certificate n my passport on my way home after filling DS 260 at agent's office. I requested n received all documents again from respective offices.my birth certificate was registered 3 yrs ago n my marriage certificate 7 yrs ago. But when given this time, issue dates mentioned recently( august 2020). Will that affect my case?

But since i used my lost passport to fill ds260, what shall i do now? Shall i request ds260 unlock n put my new passport info? Or shall i leave it as it is n send all documents when KCC request? Thank you in adcance!

1. No, it shouldn’t.
2. Unlock your DS260 and update the passport info.
Hope you filed a police report over the lost documents? This may come in useful at the interview stage, should there be any doubt with regards to the previously listed documents.
p.s. number you’re questions when you have more than one in a post.
So sorry to hear you're going through this issue
My cousin had the same problem. There was an error in his birth date during DV registration. Instead of January 27 he mentioned January 07.
At first we thought the DS260 was blocked. We contacted KCC and they explained to us the date of birth does not match.
Below a workaround that we used to find the right date
1- go to the 2021 Entrant Status Check
2- Hit Continue
3- Under "type the confirmation number that was given when you applied", click on Forgot Confirmation Number
4- If not preselected click on DV2021
5- then enter all required informations
6- Enter the date of birth with different possibilities.
7- You will not be locked out
8- At some point, if the date matches you will see your case number poped on the screen.
If you get your case number it is mean your date of birth is correct. You should contact KCC with the date of birth mistakenly used and all relevant informations and they will forward the case to your country embassy where you will be asked to appear in person.
We did the steps above and we found out that we mistakenly entered 07 january instead of 27. Now KCC forwarded the case to Lome embassy. However the are closed due to the pandemic. We are expecting services resumption at the embassy of Lome to get hopefully this issue fixed.

Hello guys,
On the DS260, part related to the social security number says: Do you need a new card issued?
I already have a social security card since I'm already in the US under a J1 visa. I was wondering though whether I will need them to reissue another card (with the same number) after I will be a permanent resident, or whether this is something I will have to do later. What should I answer?

I have a similar question. I have an SSN card, but it has a work restriction listed on it:
Should I request on the DS-260 a new SSN card that does not have any restrictions? Thank you.

Yes or No, doesn’t matter how you guys answer the question. A new or a replacement SSN doesn’t get ordered for AOSers. You’ll still need to visit the SSA to get a replacement unrestricted SSN card issued after you get your GC.
N.B. You’re both processing AOS, you should be posting on the AOS thread to ensure you’re getting the appropriate response to your questions.

Hm, my understanding is the police report itself is sent to the us embassy in HK and you send a copy of the receipt you get to KCC. In either case, you should confirm with KCC what they need and if they do actually accept physical documents, what the address is. Email them using the instructions in your selection letter.

Please let us know what KCC says about this as I have the same issue with the Police Report in my country of residence!

Hello. I was selected for the dv 2021 under 2021AF2XXXX. I would like to know after how long does KCC respond after sending the DS260 but also by what means? thanks for your reply

Hello , currently KCC responds selectees at 3k. They work according case number order. There is not exact response date. The more your case number the more you should wait. Good Luck.
They answered:" If your police certificate is sent straight to the consular office and not to you, please provide a scanned copy of the receipt showing you have applied for the document. "
So, I guess it should be sent to the US embassy in HK.
