DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

Congratulations!
How much time is really left for medical exam etc? Unless they give an extension to the deadline my thinking is that it’s too late anyway at this stage

No its not too late. You can get the medical report in 3-10 days or less. Theoretically it is possible to do the interview and issue visa even on 30th September, assuming all your documents are in order.
 
Hey guys,

Question. Can you technically ask to be interviewed in the country you were born even though you do not live there? Or do you need to stick to your country of residency?

Some consulates are not processing a single case, I doubt that it will change much even with a preservation or visas. First come, first served!

Thanks!

From my experience, interviews are held in country of residence.
When I changed my interview post back in May, KCC requested me to unlock my DS-260 application and change my current address to the country I wanted to be interviewed in.

I agreed with you 100%. Because this is a DIVERSITY VISA, VISA should be given at random order instead of whom can afford attorneys. The class action lawsuit should be a better format. But unlike other class actions lawsuit, the final order will result in monetary compensations/penalties to pay the legal fees. These DV related lawsuits' goals are receiving immigration visas. There is no money involved. In this scenario, the incentive for attorneys would be diminished, unless they want to do it pro bono. What's the correct answers, I don't know.

That being said, today's J. Mehta's Memorandum Opinion and Order is a great win for all DV2021 selectees, the legal war is not over yet, but it's a great win today.

That’s the thing. Do you need to reside there or can you use the address of a family member?
I have always thought that you couldn’t if you weren’t residing in the country.

I have similar thoughts with you
If JM determines to reserve visa, I will go to Canada asap.
However, we know that Montreal is not accepting DV.
If DV-2021 starts interviewing again and the situation in Montreal is still the same, I want to go back to HK

God. DO NOT try to get interviewed in MTL. They simply won’t move their butt and are currently processing visas that were DQ back in September 2020. For tier 3 and 4, it’s September 2019. Which means that we absolutely have NO chance of ever being interviewed. And no, this is not going to happen this month. The order is not asking them to move their butt if they have a huge backlog.

This week is critical

Yes, But there are a lot of people who are already DQ and to receive 2NLs. I don't think they are going to send 2NLs for everyone who are already DQ either. Numbers of some embassies are not even moving and sitting as the same number is last week. I don't know whether they are really having a such back log or its just an excuse with Covid.

I won't. I want to have my interview in Hong Kong.
 
Hi guys! Question please … for those who know already my story , we’ve had our interview on last 16th of June in Paris but until now our visa is still not approved due to country of chargeability error when we applied . They kept our passports at the embassy (my husband , mine and my daughter’s passport) but since I’m living in Qatar with my daughter for professional reason, I’ve had to collect my passports from the embassy to be able to travel with my daughter . Our status in ceac was “refused” until 3rd of September then it changed to “ready”. I’ve sent an email to embassy last night and today the status changed to “Administrative processing”. Hoping that it is a good sign but just wondering , in case it will be issued , do you think I can request to make my visa printed on my passport and daughter’s passport from the US embassy in Qatar or shall I travel back to Paris just for printing ? Knowing that 30th of September is approaching and very tight time to travel . Is administrative processing a good sign ?
thanks in advance for your answer

The US embassy in Qatar cannot issue/print the visa on your passport. If your case gets approved, the US embassy in Paris will be embassy with jurisdiction over issuing/printing the visa. You will either need to mail in your passport or go to Paris in person to do that.
