DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

updates for DV2021
Seema at the embassies DV is not an urgent matter, i think in my opinion that is why visa bulletin case numbers are moving slowly, and lawyers made a lawsuit for it.

So what do you think guys, we'll be able to start the interviews in January, or we have to wait to get the 2NL in January wich means we will lose almost 6 months of the process ?

As far as i understood, unless trump renew the PP, interviews shall begin in January, so i think in December KCC will assign interviews dates.

But would they so that ? Or wait until 31/December to check if trump renew it ? I don't know

Anyone tried to call the KCC and ask that question?
 
If they have a plan to schedule interviews in January they should be sending out 2NLs in 3rd or 4th week of November. I do not know whether there is a possibility to send interview notifications in a short time period like they did with DV2020 in September.

Well, they could but the problems is about the medical examination . For example are some country where to get all the papers what you need from the doctor takes more than 2,3 weeks...also are some countrys where takes only a few days, so for sure the could ! With DV2020 wasn't this problem just because most of the people got their medical exam papers. I hope this month to receive the 2NL's and to see some movement.
 
My case number is AS21xxx. When should I send My DS 260 application ? Is it too early now ?
Also do I have to translate all documents to English when later submitting required documents ?

Thank you

First questions really depends whether you will apply for a U.S visa later down the line.
second question the answer is yes make sure you have everything translated into English using a certified translator.

Yes, I intend to apply for tourist visa later if my number does not become current at the end of the fiscal year.

Thank you

That will be harder to do if you have submitted a DS260, though presumably you will do so at some point during the FY anyway if your number looks like it will become current. Remember they need time, possibly a few months, to process documents before an interview, so imo I wouldn’t wait too long either, or jeopardize a DV visa for the sake of harder to get a tourist visa later if you might need one. That said, there is definitely no rush to submit one now with your case number, and it’s probably prudent to wait and see how case numbers progress once the ban is over and actual CP interviews are taking place.
 
Hi Susie,
I have a question regarding that. By the end of the fiscal year, if my number doesn't become current. And let's say, months or years later I want to go to the US for vacation with an ESTA Visa (french passport). Will there be a problem because I have filled and submitted a ds260?
Thanks
 
If the sponsor is available and his I134 filled down, great financial situation, is it enough at the interview ? or the officer might reject my application depends on my bank account as well?

Depends on the embassy. Some asks for both some asks for none and some only asks for the I-134. I think if you have a strong I-134 you should be good.

Possibly, but possibly no issue at all. It really depends on your own personal circumstances and ties to your home country. Always take proof of ties home when you enter on an esta.

No need for an officer to ask for the applicant’s own financial accounts if they accept the i134.
