DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

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?
If you didn’t get the email saying your documents are checked now and you are ready to be scheduled for interview - it means you are not documentarily qualified yet. In my case, I was sending them documents and was receiving a reply almost right away that sth was missing. So I kept on sending documents until approved. Your case different - seems they didn’t even try to open your documents. So it’s up to you whether you want to send again
 
i am kind of envying the Cameron (YDE) and DRC (KIN) embassy right. they seem to have had the most interviews in the AF region, more so in the last 3 months or so. yet my embassy has had a total on 9 interviews in the whole FY... i have a fairly high CN and noticed the case right ahead of mine has already been proceed in YDE... still hopeful (on the lawsuits really) but it gets harder everyday.

There are still a lot of people that still haven’t been interviewed in Cameroon but I get your point
 
Hi all, can i ask for feedback of people that got refusal of visa because they've not used an international passport as official document on the DV entry?
Thank you in advance!
 
Unfortunately it's exactly me, but you know this little hope that it still alive :)
you have an interview? This is a fairly new requirement and then COVID /trump Ban hit so there’s not a lot of feedback. Please be sure to update the forum with yours.

Which country? I am 25xxx, only a couple people in our case range got an interview scheduled so... I mean, you could definitely try... I am not sure if I would spend money on your medicals before knowing if you would be denied because of the passport... You technically should be denied... so yeah, you may end up spending $1K for nothing. Up to you IF you ever get an interview, of course.
 
Hi, I have my interview at the embassy at the end of this month. I will apply for PhD programs in December and I wonder whether I can use my permanent residency for it.

1. When will I become a "permanent resident"? Is it only after I enter the US or immediately after the interview(given that it is approved)?
2. Some schools want me to upload my permanent resident card when applying. Does the immigrant visa that we get after the interview contain all the information on the physical GC?
3. Do we have an average estimate of how long it takes for the physical GC to arrive after entering the US?

Thanks in advance.

1. You become a LPR upon being admitted into the US on your immigrant visa. Prior to entering the US, all you'll have is basically an immigrant visa.
2. The immigrant visa, upon endorsement (after admission into the US) becomes a temporary GC valid for one year.
3. It varies for people.

1. You only become a permanent resident after you have entered the US on your immigrant visa (and then you are immediately an LPR).
2. At the point that it is only a visa you cannot use it to prove being an LPR.
3. That said, your endorsed immigrant visa after entry becomes a temporary green card so you can use that for proof of being an LPR - it needs the CBP entry stamp for that. Plastic GCs typically take 1-2 months to arrive. Be sure to pay the immigrant fee before entering to avoid delays.

Im from Bulgaria, you? How do you know that only couple people will be interviewed? And yes , i realise the risks and this is the reason for still asking and investigating for such cases. Unfortunately there is no other way to try before the medicals. I apply for visa 10 years with proper documentation and this was a really bad luck to be a winner and have this tech issue at the end. So for now im holding on for next steps , so if any news i will get my desicion furhter.
 
Congratulations! :)
If I read it correctly - they will just distribute reserved visas randomly to 2020 winners, and not specifically all to plaintiffs?
On the other side, if embassies will be busy issuing visas for 2020, there is no hope they will invite anyone from 2021
