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

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?

Hello Dear Shabnaiii

The KCC will start to issue visa No. for all eligible DS-260 applicant gradually meanwhile the number of selectees are more than the Visa limit number because so many applicants will loos their chance with different reasons so upper cases No. usually have chance based on my studies.

You did not find out, but you deliberately entered wrong expiry date.

Yes, there is a chance that this can get you disqualified, but since the passport details in DV entry is a new rule and only small number of 2021 have been interviewed so far, there is no evidence, if CO has overlooked such mistakes or not.

You need to list them on your DS260 form regardless of if you’ve never listed them anywhere before or have no legal documents demonstrating you lived there. Not declaring those addresses will constitute withholding of pertinent information.
 
one more question in the surname and given name is correct but i wrote down in the middle name i don't have a middle name will this cause any troubles?

Looks like you generally enjoy fibbing to fit situations. How can you claim you found out you applied with an expired passport while at the same time stating you didn’t have time to update your passport which had expired in 2019, used it in 2020 to submit your eDV registration by extending the expiration date to 2021? Found out indeed! I have no “suggestion” for you in this case.

You did not lie? You intentionally listed a middle name which you do not have, you intentionally listed your passport expiration date as 2021 for a passport which already expired in 2019, and you’re claiming you did not lie. What is your definition of a lie?

Will this be same for, someone stay as single (without family) out side their home (for work purpose - let say work stay address), and travel to their permanent address (where spouse and children lives) weekly?

In case if the work stay address to be listed in ds260 as a residing address for specific time duration, how can the permanent address can be listed for the same time duration, won't it be overlapped? (I mean staying at 2 different addresses during same time period?)

it seems you deliberately entered the wrong date to try make it look like you had an unexpired passport, unfortunately you seem to have missed the part about a valid passport also being required.

The entry instructions say:
The passport number, country of issuance, and expiration date for your valid, unexpired international travel passport. This requirement does not apply to dependents. You must enter valid international travel passport information unless you meet the requirements for an exemption. An exemption may apply if you are stateless,
Failure to enter valid passport information will make you ineligible for a DV .
The FAQs also say that if you arrive at the interview with a new passport you should be able to show proof (actual or copy) of the original valid passport. Obviously you won’t have that.

The instructions for selectees say:
Passport Requirement: Beginning with entries for DV-2021, the Department of State’s regulations require all entrants to provide a valid passport number at the time of DV entry, unless they are unable to obtain a passport and fall under one of three limited exemptions. You should consider not pursuing a DV application if you listed a false or invalid passport number on your DV entry, or if you selected an exemption from the passport requirement and you did not meet the requirements for that exemption, as you may not be eligible for a diversity visa and any fees you pay for the visa application will not be refunded.

My expectation is that you will be disqualified at interview, if you choose to go that far. Your supposed middle name that is not on your passport could be an issue too but I don’t think it will even get to that, the passport situation will be a dealbreaker imo.
