DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hello family

So on my High School certificate, Birth Certificate and Passport my date of birth is 1994.

On my University degree certificate (highest level of Education completed) it appeared as 1993.

Lastly on my Masters admission letter it appeared as 1994 because i had an Affidavit attached to it.

Do i stand a chance of being denied visa?

An incorrect biographic detail on an education certificate is not usually as a problem as long as all other information makes clear it is actually you, in this case it is not even the critical (high school) document so don’t worry about it.

Thank you soo much
 
Hello friends.
I have a master's degree in computer engineering. And my work history has been in this field. In the Work/Education/Training Information section in response to the this question : "Does this job require at least 2 years of training or experience?"
Given that my current and previous jobs were related to my degree, I answered "no".
My Jobs Based O*NET Online Website, there are located in zone 5, and SVP range (7.0 to < 8.0),
In your opinion, will the answer "no" have a negative impact on the process of my case?

That particular question is irrelevant to DV based applicants, so don’t stress over it. The DS260 is also used by non DV based applicants too.

my CN is about 8200, Is it better to send an unlock request to edit the DS-260 form and change "no" to "yes"? Is it possible to cancel the unlock request via email if I have already sent the unlock request?

Again, that particular question is IRRELEVANT to DV based applicants. Answering YES or NO makes no difference to the process. You can decide on wether to go ahead and change your previously provided response or not on your own.
 
Good evening to all
I just noticed on my DS-260 that I did not put all the schools I attended
I have two bachelor, one in chemistry and another one in physics and chemistry , I only filled in the one in chemistry and I didn't put my baccalaureate as well because I didn't see that I could add other courses.
I have a low case number, do you think that could be a reason for refusal?
Thanks in advance
 
Hello!

Thanks for this forum and everyone who helps out!

I am a Canadian national born in the UAE. I have been working in the US on and off for 2.5 years under TNs (the NAFTA work permit; non-immigrant intent). I will be applying for a new TN with a new employer in month

(Currently, I am in Canada, and will be living in the North East once my TN is granted. My local consulate office is Montreal)

I just found out that I was selected for the DV Lottery 2022. My number is AS10XXX.

Based on the preliminary research I have done on the BritSimon blog and these forums, it seems like my number won't get called up until June 2022 (if similar to historicals).

From my understanding filling out the DS-260 shows intent to immigrate and could jeopardize future NIVs like the TN.

When should I fill out my DS-260, if ever? I was thinking maybe next year March or April to minimize the chances of getting caught out. I don't know if it will make a difference to my case applying so late since my number is quite high anyway. Alternatively, I can keep getting TNs, apply for the H1-B, and then convert to the Green Card.

I'm sure there must be something I'm missing or don't fully understand, so please feel free to let me know. Thank you.

Why on earth would you complicate the process by trying to get an H1B in the interim?
The cleanest way to do this for you imo would be by consular processing if you are worried about immigrant intent, but I don’t really see a problem adjusting from one in a series of TNs. The advantage of CP would be no suspicion of misuse of the TN and ability to keep crossing the border when you need, which you wouldn’t be able to do during the aos process (at least not without AP but that takes months to get) ... just my opinion. Montreal is easy to reach from the northeast for interview.

Please be patient! I do have a life outside of this forum, in case you’re not aware. Post your questions, exercise some patience and wait for ANY member of the forum who knows the answer (or wishes to answer) to come along and respond. That is how this forum works.

That will not lead to a denial. You however do have enough time to unlock and update your DS260 should you wish to do so.

Okay, so when should I submit my DS-260? I am worried that my number is too high and may not be called, and then I'll be SOL, and can't get any future TNs.

You’re worried your number is too high? When was the last time AS got cut off under 10k?
You also need to understand submitting a DS is not the death knell you seem to think it is. Especially for someone with a history of a number of legal stays in the US. If you were an illegal/overstay risk, it would probably have happened by now.

Yes. I'd rather keep things simple and delay submitting my DS-260 until I can be sure I will get my number called. When is the latest I can do so? If anyone can answer that question, that would be great.

No one can answer that question for sure without knowing how long document processing etc is taking next year, and hypothetically by the time you know “for sure” your number will be called it might be too late. I personally wouldn’t leave it beyond March. I’m not sure that’s keeping things simple, but it’s your case, your call.
 
Hello everyone.
I'm a winner of the DV lottery 2022, from Iran.
My case number is 10xxx... I wonder if I have a chance to get interviewed with this high number, especially regarding Covid-19 pandemic and the slow-down of US embassies... what's your prediction of the 2022 fiscal year for processing DV cases?
 
Dear All,

I am a DV 2022 lottery winner from Sri Lanka.

My question is with respect to "Current address and Previous Addresses" in DS 260. I am currently residing in a temporary place near to my workplace for nearly two years. I have stayed like this two annexes in the past as well. But I actually visit my permanent residence (home) on regular basis like in weekends and holidays. So I have never listed these addresses for any purpose in Sri Lanka as they are temporary and I also don't have legal documents like any rent agreements with these places.

When filling DV 260, do I need to list these places under my previous addresses? If I do not list them (assuming they are not places where I established my residence), would it be a misrepresentation ?

Please help me. I do want to fill this 100% accurately.

TIA
