DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

i submitted to dv 2023 , i checked yesterday on of website call dv lottery photo checker and it says "Head is bigger than allowed 69%" otherwise all good , is that a problem ?
You’ve already submitted the entry, so it is no longer relevant wether the photo met the requirements or not.
 
Yes you can do that. KCC does not process the DS260 for AOS and FTJs.
Thank you very much. Your answers are always appreciated! My husband and I will silently follow the forum for a couple of months and update whenever there is progress.
 
Provided the instructions for sending in the documents were accurately followed, I would basically wait for now (especially if my CN is not yet current), as against re-sending the documents or emailing KCC over and over again. I would wait wait if this was my case as against furthering cluttering KCC inbox with more emails.
Thank you.
 
Sending two copies is recommended. One for each person. This was extensively discussed on this thread a while back, including the naming convention. If you scroll back a couple of pages, you should be able to find this.
Dear @Sm1smom, I have submitted my documents to KCC on August 16, after their request made on August 13. But i have submitted only one Marriage certificate with my name on it (2022EU000XXXXX_Name_Main_applicant_marriage_certificate.pdf). My case has not been DQ and my case number is not yet current, in this circumstances what should i do, what for their response or send an additional Marriage certificate for my wife (which it will be the same as the one submited)?

thank you for your advise.
 
Dear All, I submitted my documents 2 weeks ago. What is the next step and how long does it take?
Many thanks!!!

I don’t think you can just email a second copy and hope KCC will add it to what was previously submitted, KCC doesn’t operate that way AFAIK. You can either wait to see if you will get DQ (a few have reported being okay with submitting just one copy) or proactively resubmit everything, it is really you call on what to do at this point.
 
Good day people, simple question, one of the kids of selectees changed name, should be attached that document as well in the email with all documents or just to have it during the interview?
Thank you very much
 
Hello
Im already DQ waiting for interview schedule with CN 335XX. I just realised i made a mistake on my DS 260 concerning the place of birth. Not in say the country but the city. Its suppose to be Accra but i chose Tema. Will that cause me or i will get the chance to explain. Its Accra on my birthcert but the same country.

You would know the answer to the question if indeed, it is a "simple question" right?

Anyway, you do need to provide more contest to this question in order to get the appropriate answer.
1. When did the kid change their name? Before or after the DS260 submission?
2. If before the DS260 submission, did both old and new name get listed on the DS260 form?

You can update that information at your interview, that sort of mistake on it's own is not known to have be an issue.
 
Thank you for your inquiry.



In order to continue processing your case, all documents should be submitted as attachments to your email to ensure they are properly received. We ask that you use the following method to name and attach your files: • Your DV case number; • The full name of the applicant whose document you scanned; and • The document name or form number. For example: 2021AF00938653_John_Doe_Passport.pdf 2021AF00938653_Jane_Doe_Birth_Certificate.pdf Use your case number as the subject of the email. The maximum email size is 30MB. If the total size of your attachments is larger than 30MB, send multiple emails using your case number as the subject of each email. Please send your documents for KCC review only after you have collected all of the required documents for yourself and all accompanying family members. Send documents only to the kccdvdocuments@state.gov email address. Documents photographed or scanned with a mobile phone are acceptable, but every document must be fully legible. Illegible or incomplete documents must be re-submitted and will delay processing of your case.

In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center. For additional information, please refer to the following websites:


This is the email that I just got from KCC. Can someone tell me if they requested documents or not? Should I sent them?

I'm assuming you haven't previously sent in your documents before? You should send them as stated on the email you received to the listed email address

KCC did not requested for my documents, for that reason I did not send them in advance. This email that they sent me means that they requested my documents, right?

It was changed before DV-260 submission and its marked on submission form, its just added 1 letter to the end of the First name, that’s all. I have officially documents regarding this change I think its just should be presented on the interview if requested right?

Okay, this sounds more like a name update/correction and not necessarily a change of name. You don't need to send KCC any document regarding this. I don't see it being an issue at the interview either.

Yes, we have officially documents, translated and notarized in case if they ask. Birth Certificate also updated together. Its something like ILEN and ILENE, but we marked this change on DV-260 form. Just in case. Better to have it than get problems I guess.
