DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

After March 31 things will start moving a lot faster. Fast enough to reach EU 30k, that no one knows. I feel you pain, as I am sure we all do.
It has been a horrible ride for all of us.

Yes it's very unfortunate for all of us, I'm hoping everything will speed up after March.
I've been living in the U.S. for 8 years. I have an American husband and my two children are American citizen but I'm here on a non-immigrant status that expires in the summer and I can not extend it. My husband doesn't qualify to sponsor me with a green card so my only hope to stay here is to get my green card through the dv-lottery. It was perfect timing but now it looks all bad... I'm really hoping for a miracle for all of us dv-winners.

If you are in the US, why don't you adjust status?

Only time will tell if that's correct or not. Many (Most?) consulates around the world are still closed or only accepting emergency appointments (which most likely will not include DV). It's certainly possible things will speed up a little, but I would not put money on "a lot faster".
 
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.
Thank you Susie ! My marriage is still on may or june 2021 (depending mariage restrictions in France) and i cross finger it will be not so far for the interview. In reality, we can have an interview to september 2021 ? Is there any chances ?
Thanks
 
For anyone who's interested, PBS News published an article that partly explains what's happening with embassies abroad and why there are still delays with interviews and processing overseas that have to do with COVID. I don't think I can post a link here, but the title is "State Department scrambles to distribute scarce COVID-19 doses to diplomats" basically there are not enough vaccines being provided to workers to make sure they can safely resume their jobs.
 
Hello, is it possible to submit the DS260 without answering the question about traveling to other countries, i am sure that i answered but now i see that neither Yes or No box is checked. Could it be technical problem on the application? Should i unlock the DS for this issue?

Submitting the DS260 form without disclosing travels to other countries (if applicable) constitutes lying for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit, that is withholding of potential material information which can lead to a lifetime ban upon discovery. If the question is currently showing as unanswered, and additional information provided as applicable, you should contact KCC to unlock your form and provide the information as applicable.

Thank you for the fast answer. I did sent a mail with Unlock request, i hope they will proceed it soon. I also hope there will be no troubles caused, because I have already sent documents to KCC two weeks ago. But after unlocking and submitting the corrected DS form again I can resend the correct and final documents, right?
 
Does anyone know if the COVID-19 vaccine will count as public benefit? I have a private insurance but my state is doing it for free without the insurance so I am not sure.

It shouldn't. It's not like they're giving you the option to pay for it. It's free for everybody (unless you have to pay an administrative fee).
 
Hi everybody how are you? I need a little help and guidance, I think I read abpout it too much and am a bit confused.
I'm from Argentina, our case number is around 1500, now, when does the letter 2 NL arrive? a month before the bulletin is updated or when our case number appears as current on the bulletin? Do you know if the selectees are being interviewed? We have already sent all the paperwork to KCC (September) and got their answer to that email as received. Should we worry or should be wait and be patient? Thanks so much, we really appreciate it.

No one in CP route is getting interviewed yet because the ban is still in place
