Is your embassy interviewing DV cases, do you know?


Indeed - still hope, even though unfortunately there won’t be time for everyone left to be interviewed.

Yes, they are but the embassy will not even touch my case until KCC sends them my documents and tells them that Im DQ. I have sent all my documents (without even asking) like 4 months ago and have been sending emails to KCC if they are happy with my documents twice a month. Always get the same generic "we have received your documents and please wait for bla bla bla".... I'm borderline depressed already for being nervous about this for a whole year :(

I ment what I wrote eu36xxx. It doesn't matter anymore what your CN is, god knows what is the logic behind the system. But don't give up, if I succeed, you can too!

Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me which country (or embassy) are you going for? Maybe that will shed some light on situation

With the excitement forgot to say that if they're setting up interviews with so close notice, I'd still have faith in getting interviews for the rest of September. Just FYI, I was DQ the 6th of August.

thank you so much, hope you're right. Yesterday I booked a flight to Barcelona in September, thinking I won't be able to make to the interview... and at the end I have to cancel it :D

Of course! Embassy in Hungary. And just in case, send your docs again (if you didn't do it in a last month). Also make sure you write you CN with the leading zeros.

Yesterday we were sadly cancelling our long waited holidays for other reasons and today we got the interview notice for the very same week we would have been on holidays. On top of that, tomorrow is my birthday so I can say I got my once-in-a-lifetime present from KCC.

On the other hand, welcome to Spain! Enjoy Barcelona although it won't be my first destination if it is for tourism :cool: Really hope you have to cancel it finally, so you can choose any other city :D

Well, happy birthday and I am sure you will get your GC! All the best for you! :)

Thank you, I am sure we will enjoy it! Also, another hungarian received the DQ today, also he got the 2NL for 24th of August. :)

Ok, don’t be depressed - it’s time to be organized. Here what you need to do :
1. Send documents in different formats (jpeg or pdf)
2. If you have translations - try to put them in different file than the original
3. In the body of the email put name and surname, applicant date of birth, file number (CN), maybe place of birth
4. In the subject of email also put your name
5. Play with case number - write it either with 2021EU0000*** or without zeros.
Personally I literally wrote in the paper all different combinations of files / names / formats I could send them. And send in every email different combination. They also refused documents (I received an automatic email each time that some docs were missing, after 15 min). In total I sent maybe 8-10 emails with different document combinations. Finally it worked, but I don’t know which combination was successful. In your case - maybe the system does not see your files ? At this point you literally have nothing to lose, keep sending them your documents and NOT just emails asking about documents.
i am sure you will get your documents approved soon. Chin up
 
Does anyone know if the US consulate in Montreal has issued any diversity visa? The email I got from them says that they were working on some tier four cases.
 
Good afternoon,

I will be having my interview at the Embassy next week and, If I am lucky enough, I will be moving to US. However, I would like my boyfriend to come with me. He does not handle any kind of Visa yet, so we were thinking about getting married.

@Britsimon @Sm1smom which would it be the fastest and best way to manage that if I am a Green Card Holder? Asking for a K visa and then get married in the US once I am there, or get married in Spain once I have the GC and start the required paperwork in Spain?


Thanks a lot for your input!
Regards

K visas are only for US citizens. You will have to get married and sponsor him under F2A. It will probably take about two years from when you file the petition to when he can get a visa. What a pity you didn’t marry before your DV interview so he could have been a derivative, which would have been much easier, cheaper and faster.

Just to ensure you understand, you don’t get a green card until you move to the US on your immigrant visa (It wasn’t clear from how you said “get married in Spain once I have the GC”.) You can marry before you go, you just can’t start the petition before you have a green card. Also, the paperwork is filed in the US, not Spain.

Unfortunately, your boyfriend cannot come with you to the US right away, and there’s no such thing as “fastest” when it comes to immigration. Susie already provided guidance above on the only option currently available to you which is for you to sponsor him after you get married - a roughly 2 year process from when you file and when he can join you in the US.

As far as I know, the consulate in Montreal has not processed any DV cases. Will need to check with a couple of others and see if they have heard about it. Will let you know.

So that means I shouldn't be content by sending my documents once? I got their automated reply that they received my email and are currently processing my documents. I thought that was enough. Shall I send them again?

Thank you!! Yes, we didn’t marry in between the process as I was very worried about the current situation, because of the lack of time. I wanted my case to be very quicky to process!! I was just notified two days ago about my 2NL when I had lost all my faith… CN29k. Definitely not a low number.
I know my Green Card will be sent to my US adress once I cross borders, but I still need to pass the interview though! I hope everything goes well!! I was just referring to the time and difference between getting married in US or Spain, and if this could change anything.
Many many thanks for the advice!!

Thank you! Yes, I know he can’t join now, but we will start the process as soon as possibe once I get my Green Card (In case I get it approved). I just wanted to know the different options we had.

Same here. I think it was just suggested as a random thing to try. Some people get DQ after sending their docs only once. Others never get DQ even after sending their docs 10 times.
I submitted my docs more than once 7 months ago after receiving doc request email. Still, to this day, no reply from KCC. I’m not even DQ :)

I think they “generally” process lower case numbers first. But given the prioritization scheme, even some of those with relatively low CNs are not getting any response from KCC either. I don’t know, the whole process is a little bit random and disorganized in my opinion.

hopefully the lawsuits will give us some relief.
