DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Hi guys

The judge ordered 9k Visas which is 1/3 the remaining visas claiming that the pandemic wasn't government mistake neither the plaintiffs and the government are working with the partial capacity

So what is the difference now , Specially that pandemic hitting the peack again as second wave??
Is there a possibility that the 55k not fully consumed same as DV2020
 

From the dropbox link:

We believe dates will become current for all or virtually all DV-2021 winners based on prior years

I wonder why they believe that - I hope they are not just assuming that because the last 2 years went current.
 
Great forum,
Just wondering; If a selectee is physically in the US on a B2 visa when the DV results are released, can he process AOS given that his CN is likely to be current after the six months legal status has lapsed?

No. You have to be in legal status to be able to adjust status.
 
My wife and I entered for the first time this year and I’ve been selected for further processing! Case number 2021AS00029XXX.

Anyone have any idea what our chances are with a case number in this range?
What do you mean by the case number? I got selected in June and receive the case number ASxxxx. I was told to fill out ds260. But dont know if i need to fill out AOS or not

In general lines, AOS (Adjustment Of Status) is if you are in the US (with a legal status) and you will complete the process there. Otherwise you will be doing CP (Consular Processing). The case number determines when your case will be ready to be interviewed.
 
Fantastic forum guys, thank you for all the information!
I have one question if anyone can help me out. My case number is 2021EU00029XXX. Anyone knows when can I expect to hear from them? I did fill out DS-260 and sent it in June but it's October already and I havent heard anything from them. Any thoughts on this?

Your case number is relatively high and there won’t be interviews before next year so it may be a while.

Thank you for your answer. The interview should happen before September 2021 correct? I mean I do not mind waiting "a while" or even more, as long as it happens before the deadline. Also, can you guys advise me on should I apply for 2022 lottery that is open now (for like a mini-insurance sort of thingy)?

No one can guarantee that you will have an interview. It depends how case numbers go, how many people follow their selection, if the ban is extended, etc. Yes you can enter DV2022 as a back-up option.

Understood, thank you for your clarification. So if I don't get an interview before the deadline its over right? I have emailed KCC many times to ask about my situation and they have not answered anything... Does anyone know how long it takes for them to answer via email? I am just really worried about my situation :confused:

Yes, that’s correct. I am not sure what you mean “about your situation“. What is it exactly you are asking them about it? You do understand interviews are currently banned and will start up in case number order when they do restart? And that there is no rush to collect your documents yet as a result of that fact?

I mean something along the lines of "how is my case being processed / when is the next step and etc".
In terms of the whole process, the first stage is sending the DS-260, then you get an email or something to collect all your documents (qualifications and etc) and send them online and the final stage is the interview? Did I get this correct?
I have all the documents ready and waiting for them to tell me when to send or upload them.
I know interviews are banned now but I know few people who had lower case numbers in my country who got an email from KCC to send them all the documents. I am waiting for KCC to send me something like that as well but it is October already and I haven't received any information from their side. Can you advise me on this? Thank you for helping me out mate.

Well, you can send them your documents unsolicited if you want, then you’ll know that they have them, but it’s not going to speed up your process. It makes sense that people with lower case numbers get the requests earlier as they will be in line for interview earlier. You keep saying ”it is October already” but... you will probably not interview before mid year next year if not nearer the end of the fiscal year, if your number gets current. There is just no rush to get your documents from KCC’s perspective.

Understood, thank you. Rushing was not my intention actually. I thought they will get back to me within a month of sending them the DS-260 form and I rushed to collect all the documents. Any idea when will I get the request to send them the documents? I understand interviews will not be till mid next year as you said but what about sending all these documents? Do both of these happen at the same time or first you send documents and then you wait again a few months and then get scheduled for the interview?

Ok, not sure why you thought they’d ask you so quickly, and you may find rushing to get the documents will mean you will need to redo the police certificate later, as it may be more than a year old by the time you interview. They need the documents before they schedule you an interview. You would be notified of the interview usually about 4-6 weeks in advance. How long you wait between submitting documents and interview depends when you send in your documents vs when your case number is current, it’s not a fixed time period.

Yeah now that I think about it, I would probably need to redo my police certificates, however, this is only the case for the country that I currently live in, correct? I read somewhere on their website that if you have never returned to the country you previously lived in, you do not need to make another police certificate (even if it's older than a year or more). Any thoughts about this?
As for the documents in general, why did they ask other people (some of the people I know who live in same country as me) with lower case numbers to upload all the documents if they will not get their interview until next year? You said there is a ban on interviews so I am a bit confused. And if they send others the notification to upload their documents, why not send it to me as well? :confused:
