DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Sm1smom said:
Again, country of birth and country of nationality in this case means the same thing, a complete waste of time over-analyzing this IMO. However, you can opt to think otherwise (and not submit the PCC from his country of birth) in which case you and your spouse will find out when KCC continues to send you document request emails or at the end of your interview if indeed he is required to submit the PCC from his country of birth. Wouldn't it make sense to err on the side of caution then?

@Sm1smom and @SusieQQQ For my case, the country of birth has never been a country of nationality for me (I was born abroad from my country). I lived in my birth country for 1 year and went back to my country of citizenship which is the country of my parents.
So, in my case, I don't see any ambiguity that I don't need police certificate from the country of birth because I have never been a citizen of that country and the official instructions state clearly get police certificates from countries of citizenship if lived there at any time in your life

That is different from the case we were answering.

I think if you lived for 12 months or more in any country(nationality or not) , if you were older than 16 at the time you lived there,you need to provide the police certificate from that country

I have never lived in my birth country (Saudi Arabia). so how and on what basis can I ask for a PCC?? Please help

How could you have "never lived" in your birth country if you were born there? You lived there by virtue of being born there, even if your parents left the country immediately after your birth - you lived there for a couple of hours at least.

Anyway take a look at the reciprocity page to see what it says about requesting for PCC from Saudi Arabia by someone who is no longer living in the country.

There is no “think”! The rules are stated on the website for selectees.
it sounds like the person you are responding to left their non-nationality birth country when they were like 1 year old btw.

I do enjoy answering questions and helping selectees navigate the DV process. I’m however not on this platform to convince anyone to get any document they’re firmly convinced they do not need - wish I realized this earlier on.
So going forward, if a selectee is convinced they do not need to submit a certain document or provide certain information, I’m basically going to leave it at that. I’m tired of folks quoting my posts out of context.
Peace Out!!
 
Hello all. Should the main applicant send supporting scan documents from his email to all accompanies, or each should send from its email?

As is usually the case, when people counter and get reluctant to follow the advice or suggestions they’ve been provided with, it is because they want to avoid what they feel may be a complicated process. Getting the Iraqi PCC is not as complicated as you’ve assumed, Susie has provided further guidance above on how to go about obtaining this PCC.

I took note of the information given by SusieQQQ and I really thank her because I had not seen this web page and I followed this advice and contacted by phone the Iraqi Embassy in Paris.
So I explained my situation and the fact that I need my husband's criminal record in his country of birth.
However, they ask me for my husband's Iraqi passport to be able to do the procedure.
However, my husband does not have a passport because OFPRA took it from him when he came to France as a political refugee.
 
Police clearances are so tricky because in many countries, the directions say something on the Reciprocity page but in reality there are 'unofficial rules' imposed that can make it Very hard for one to apply, especially if outside the country.
My advice to anyone who's hesitant, just start the process now, should have even started it before the Financial year as certain documents can take months and time is not on our side in this journey
 
Hi, DV2022AS14K here. I am already DQed. Unrelated, I will be moving to the US on an L visa soon.

1. Does this mean that I need to do AOS or can I leave things as they are and just return to my country for the interview?
2. If I decide/need to do AOS, what is the process? Do I need to fill DS260 again? Or just send an email that I moved to the US so please change my interview location?
3. Does the AOS process also goes by case number? Will I get an interview earlier if I do AOS?

Thank you

1. Your choice. L visa is dual intent so no problem moving with intent to adjust
2. Please ask AOS process questions in aos thread/read the spreadsheet - how to let kcc know/what you need is answered there
3. Same principle of you cannot interview before the month in which your case number is current. Depending on location and timing in the fiscal year. you might actually interview months later.
 
Does anyone know of someone who will or had his/her interview in October? Based on the declaration submitted by the government on the GL case, KCC was working on setting up interview for October and November for DV22 selectees.
 
Good evening!

2022EU46**

DS-260 was submitted on May 30
unlock request 17 September
Resubmitted DS-260 on September 18

Question:

Does resubmitting delay an email from KCC about supporting documents?

What date will they be guided by?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Hi,

Are you saying that you requested an unlock on September 17th and got an instant answer? This gotta be a new world record for KCC.
Myself, i requested an unlock on September 26th, and i have already accepted the fact that i will probably have to wait somewhere between 25 to 40 days for an answer, based on what i have read from other people sending requests.
