DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hi folks. I have a question, my Aunt got selected 2021AF16XXX, she is above 50, her youngest kid who was below 21 by the time of applying is now in the US studying. We want to fill now DS 260 which resulted in having so many questions.
1. While filling DS260 she has also to mention the daughter, right?
2. The daughter who is already in the US is she going to do AOS? or she will come back for an interview?
 
Since my daughter and wife got passports renewed with new expiration dates, I asked KCC to unlock their DS260 to update the new expiration dates (same passport numbers as before) and now both their DS260 have updated info.

Should I expect to get and email from KCC asking again for support docs even if I already sent them on Jun/2020 and even if I already got the “Documents Received” reply form them some months ago?
 
Hello guys!
Question... My husband has been selected with Case number 28XX. I'm born in France and my daughter as well but he is born in Tunisia, and holding French Passport. When we applied, we may have mistakenly choose the country of eligibility France for him and not Tunisia. Is it disqualifying ? I heard about cross-chargeability . Anyone can advise on this? Anyone has the same experience? Thanks in advance

Cross-chargeability allows for an applicant from a high-selection region to cross charge to their spouse's who is from a low-selection region. However, the selectee and the spouse must both meet the eligibility criteria as both will be considered principal applicants:

"A principal entrant born in a country that is among those for which DVs are available may derive a more favorable foreign state of chargeability from an accompanying alien spouse. For example, a principal applicant from a DV eligible country from a high-admission region may claim a more favorable chargeability from a spouse, who is from a DV eligible country from a low-admission region, provided the relationship was established prior to submitting the DV entry. In such instances, however, both applicants are considered principal applicants for the purpose of cross-chargeability and must be issued visas and apply for admission to the United States simultaneously"

Hey guys, seems like I got lucky this year and won the lottery!

My case number is 2021EU20xxx. How safe do you think am if I go for CP outside of the US? The thing is, I have other ways to immigrate but the DV route would the best one so far.

What’s your current status in the US? And how long are you authorised to stay? Depending on your answers to those questions then AOS may be a better option for you.

AOS is not affected by the presidential proclamation. So whatever happens, you’d be safe to interview (given your number becomes current).

Unfortunately for me, there is no way I could stay in the US without falling out of my status before I could do AOS, hence I'll have to do CP outside.

If that’s the case then you’ll just have to see what happens to the PP, and how the numbers progress on the visa bulletin.

Hello,does someone know if they start issuing dv 2020 visas in january and there are 9000 reserved does this mean that this will collide with dv2021 winners and that not all dv2021 visas will be issued.That would be a lot of work for embassies and KCC and we also lost three months plus now this.I am totally confused.

yes, you are right.. DV2021 will be the worst DV program ever
 
Hi, I have a question, I'm an Iranian/Canadian Citizen and I live in Canada, I was wondering if you could assist me on what I should put as my passport number in the DV lottery application? Can I also put my Canadian address?

Should I put a Canadian Passport or Iranian passport? My Iranian passport will expire in 2022 also.

Thanks for all your help.
 
This is my first time applying and I want to apply for my parents as well, Can I input the same email address and phone number or I have to put different contact information?
Thanks for your help.

1. She must read the instructions on the DS260 and follow them. Short answer yes.
2. Best she goes back for interview.

1. Yes she has to mention all her children (including the one in the US) on her DS260 form.
2. The daughter has two options (assuming she hasn’t aged out by the time her mom’s CN becomes current): she either flies back home to attend the interview with her mom, or wait until the mom gets approved and enters the US, then files AOS (bear in mind the AOS process must be completed by the end of the applicable FY).

There is a thread for dv2022 here https://forums.immigration.com/threads/dv-2022.343279/
We keep different topics to different threads.
No need to be impatient as you can’t submit till 7 October anyway at the earliest. And please ensure you read the official instructions properly before you do. You can submit any valid passport information.
