I believe no interview and issuance can happen after 30th Sept of your cohort year.
So no, that's pretty much it!

The visa bulletin publishes numbers in advance, remember. Interview notices are usually sent out 4-6 weeks before interview around the time of the VB publication. September numbers would be published in the August visa bulletin, which would usually be released in the second week of July (been later this past year, more like 3rd week). Interview notices would get sent out around that time.
If you remember the instructions for entering DV, they make clear that all visas have to be issued by 30 September of each fiscal year.
Thank you very much Susie.
Back to this convo, 1. Because of the ban, the child who turned 21 in May 2020 and is about to age out ( if I did Math correctly), now I am wondering if during submission of the DS we have to mention the kid or not,
2. Wondering if we mention the kid and by the time their case gets current, the kid has aged out, can this result in denying Visa for the mother?
EU29XXX here. Still nothing from KCC. Would be nice to see if anyone in EU region with the range of 20k-23k received the email. Would give me at least some hope that the process is not completely on stop mode...
EU21XXX here and no email has been received to submit documents.
Hi,
I write you from France.
My girlfriend has been selected in May 2020 for dv lotery. She has filled in the Ds260 form as single.
Now, we plan to get married in May 2021.
How can we add an applicant for me whereas she declare herself single on the Ds260 form ? Is that a problem ?
Thks a lot for your help

She can update her ds260 after you get married, to show her new marital status and to add you as a derivative. This will only work if she doesn’t have a visa yet, so if she has a low case number she should perhaps delay submitting documents so there is time to add you on. Otherwise she would have to sponsor you separately after she gets a green card which is a much longer and more complex process.
Hi Susie,
Thank you so much for your response who helps me in my reflexions and procedures.
She has already completed DS260 and declared as a single in novembre. The file is written completed for her. She has not sent documents yet (birth certificate, baccalaureate...).
Meantime, i propose mariage. She doesn't have visa and is low case number is very low (25xx). She could pass the entretien on the bulletin of novembrer but finaly we are waiting. So, when we'll get married in May, do you advise me to send an email to Kentucky to explain or just add me as an derivative applicant ? Is it not too late in june for an interview and get green card 2021 ?
Regards,
Adri

There’s no point sending an email to explain (explain what?). She sends an email asking them to unlock the ds260, then adds you on. Timing should be ok though I would not delay updating etc after the wedding. If you are worried about timing then you may want to do a legal /court marriage earlier to add you on earlier.
Hi,
I am a 2021 selectee 2021EU27XXX
I submitted my DS260 early july 2020 as single and i haven't received the email asking for documents yet.
I got married yesterday so i would like to add my wife to my file.
I used to read that when this happens we have to email KCC and ask to unlock our DS260 to do so.
Now the thing is i just went to the apllication site and tried to access my file and it seems that it is not locked which surprised me, this is what i see:
and when i click on add applicant it opens a window so, although i didn't try to go further, it looks like i would be able to add her without having asked to unlock my DS260?
Just wondering if anyone have any insight on this, if it's normal that my DS260 would not be locked because i always read that once submitted it is locked isnt it?
Thanks!

Did U receive comfirmation email that your DS 260 has been submitted ?
If You didnt receive it means Ur DS260 hasn't been submitted Yet so U can effect the necessary changes and submit and ensure Ureceive an automated email afterwards

Your form says completed. That means locked. You could add a spouse with add applicant, but you need to unlock your own form too to change your marital status and so on.
You're right i was focused on adding her as a derivative and saw it was possible but i didn't realize i couldn't actually access my own ds260 in order to update my marital status... So i'll email them now to ask for unlocking my ds!
Sorry about that and thank you for your answers!
and Thank you Simon for all your great work it's been a great help throughout the process!

The only one new in that list is South Africa, where a particularly virulent strain of Covid is currently present. You understand that this is a ban based on physical presence in those countries for two weeks prior to entry, due to Covid issues, right?

Hi,
I’m trying to catch up on older posts but I also have a question:
I’m on F-1 visa here and (before COVID) I used to get my “ineligible for an SSN” document from the SSN Office. Due to Covid, they’re only doing phone appointments by providing them your SSN
Naturally, I can’t obtain that document, but I have an older version that I got last year, can I use it in the case of providing proof for I-944, so that they could see I won’t be able to get a credit score report?
