DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

I will like to ask which are the few things you can request to be added/changed in your ds-260 during an interview
1) Address (within the same country/ no international travels)
2) Job
Or must you unlock your ds-260 to make these (above) changes before the interview?

Don't unlock. Especially if the info was accurate the day you submitted your DS260

Last year, my brother-in-law won the lottery and was DQ'ed in March with CN4000. He was called to interview on the last day of the FY - September 30th. CN6000-7000 were interviewed in July-August. So, there is a mismatch in the order of interviews. They had to travel to another country for interview. So, the only assumption we had was they gave preference to local citizens due to Covid and travel restrictions. Otherwise, the fact that CN7000 was interviewed before CN4000 has even received a letter for interview didn't make sense.

DV2021 (similar to DV2020) was an anomaly, not the correct yard stick for measuring or understanding how cases get scheduled for an interview. There was (and still is) COVID-19, several countries shutdown, embassies were not working, KCC did not schedule cases for interview for several months (until towards the end of the FY when court rulings forced them to), tier systems which put DV cases down as level 4 got introduced (thereby limiting the number of scheduled cases or preventing cases being scheduled altogether), some selectees with higher CNs got scheduled for interview over those with lower CNs because they were named plaintiffs in some of the filed lawsuits, (and some of those folks actually paid lawyers to represent their cases by the way) e.t.c.

You guys might want to go through the DV2021 All Selectees if you truly want to know about that FY as against posting about one or two cases you heard about and trying to use that as a basis of comparison for the current DV FY.
 
Question:
Let’s say you want tell the Con. Officer you need to update your new address/job on your ds-260.

- Do you do this during/before/after he starts asking you questions?

Just use your discretion on when to do so if you find yourself needing to update your DS260 form when you go in for your interview. There’s no boilerplate or template of what to do or say during the interview outside of truthfully answering whatever question gets asked.

Hi Team, I submitted my DS260 on May 30th and sent my Document proactively. This morning I received an email from the KCC that our documents have been received ant the records indicate that the case is ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case number becomes current, and appointments are available.

I am OC21XX so rather high as only 800 for OC region -- what is the expectation an interview will be scheduled?

Hello!
I am the winner of the lottery dv 2022, and has gone to country3 times in the same country with the same place of residence, in the form ds 260 I have marked the places I have visited,
I have stayed in this country at the same address but in different years 1 month in 2019, about 3 months in 2019 and 2020, and from November 2020 to May 2021 somewhere in 8 months I stayed at the same address.
In ds 260 I have declared only my last stay in this state, and the rest I have declared in the address where I am currently resident.
I also got a criminal record to be okay.
Is it a problem that I did not write down the address even though it is the same in these different years

Does anyone know where abouts KCC is with DS 260 processing? By that I mean what rough date are we on? Thanks all

It's not known. There has been some evidence that they're going by DS submission date still and some are going by the case number. The strong speculation is that there are two groups processing DS260s in both ways. However, note that we've seen 2 digit, 3 digit case numbers and also cases like 3k submitted in late June/July/... being processed. How do they manage the different regions and similar questions, noone knows or will ever know for sure. It's quite chaotic and they seem to be just taking the process much more seriously.

Another thing is that they were sending ready for scheduling emails days ago, but they haven't done it. Either they don't send emails when they process the forms or they're focused on scheduling and haven't processed or both. Or even maybe one group sends emails when they process DS260s but the other doesn't. Keep in mind the whole system updates going on.

Regardless, they were done with May submissions which accounted for about 40% of all submissions before the start of fiscal year. They used half of September, October, November and half of December (three months). This means it would've taken them by March to finish all the DS260s submitted before start of Fiscal year by the workforce at the time. So, given the increased workforce (Docs processing group re-positioned) , it would take them about that or less regardless of how they process DS260s. For example I submitted mid-September (reason for my obvious bias in the optimism) and the CN group processing will be processing cases in June/July/August/September (Majority submitted by here)/ . And the submission date group will go forward from June, so regardless there's always one less DS260 to get to mine.

Another thing I would speculate but can't be sure is that: They have the normal group processing DS260 by submission date. DQ people processing by case number. And some of these along with other group scheduling interviews. Given that they are trying to fill as many interview slots as possible, it's plausible that they also go by embassy capacity and if a current person has embassy capacity, process the person's DS260 quickly ahead of both queues and schedule him/her.

Anyways, I think by March they could be done processing the majority of DS260s and the details of this procedure won't matter to us as it did a month ago. Then, the important thing will be the scheduling of interviews and the effect of Covid variants on the capacities and etc.
