Hello guys how you doing!
Even though my case is current for February 22 ,I had interview on last Jan 4/22. The officer told me that my interview was perfect and told me to bring some additional document regarding my daughter’s birth certificate and gave me form 212(g) and my passport back. The same day afternoon I submitted the requested documents and my families’ passport and it is still with them. But my visa status shows Refused. So does it mean the embassy decided on my case or still not? What is your opinion on my case’s decision depending on your experience?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
One of my friends faced an unusual problem.
KCC sent 2NL to him for the Abidjan embassy on January 4th, although my friend had chosen the Abu Dhabi post as the place of interview.
After writing to KCC, they told him to transfer the case from Abidjan to Abu Dhabi. His case was transferred and Abu Dhabi confirmed it.
Now, his case is Ready on ceac website, and in Abu Dhabi statistics... BUT, Abu Dhabi emailed my friend yesterday that you should check our website yourself and find a time to interview... they don't send an invitation letter to interview...
Is that even possible that a DV winner books their time of interview themselves???
What should he do now??

Hello Simon,
Happy New Year!

I've been looking into my case number "2022AS13XXX" through the released CEAC data, where i have submitted my DV-260 early June-21, while the documents without being asked early July-21. Yet, the following has confused me!

- What does it mean that my "Submit Status" & "Submit date" are listed as none for my case?
- Why there is no assigned consulate for my case?
- The number of cases at NVC is showing "1". however, the total number of DS-260's submitted including derivatives is "4"?
- there is almost 8000 cases before my case and 4000 after, is this is too bad for Asia?

I can't thank you enough for your time and consideration in helping out this whole community!

I don’t track CEAC data, so can’t answer your questions. Maybe @Xarthisius or @Britsimon may have the right response.
 
Kcc unlocked my ds260 form today after I requested to make some corrections. I wish to ask if that will affect my status. Am case number 25*******

Cases that haven't been scheduled yet (their status is "At NVC") don't have that info. That's why there's no consulate, no submit date, no status date, no number of derivatives. I said that before and I'll say it again: for individual DV cases CEAC is useless. Don't bother checking it. Every piece of information available there is accessible to you by other means. Keep track of your email inbox, occasionally check ESC page for interview info. That's it.

You know that your household consists of 4 people. You don't need to verify that in a random csv file that a random dude published on the internet...

@Britsimon had said AP was regarded as refused. Therefore you are under AP. SO when you bring it will be issued.
 
1. Where can we change the green card posting address if we can't change it during the interview?

2. Any idea how long is it taking to recieve green card and social security number after landing in the states?

TIA
 
Hello everyone, I just want to share my experience with you.

We had our interview at the embassy this Tuesday and our visa got approved!the interview was very easy and the consul asked my husband and I about our previous jobs in different countries, where we are planning to stay in America, in which area we will want to work! At the end he gave us the original documents back and he kept our passports telling us they will return it in 2-3 days with our visas on.
For the medical exam we had to do a chest x ray, blood samples and a vaccine for tetanus and flu!
We had to present out covid vaccination and all the vaccines we had when we were younger!
The fee was around $200 for the medical and at the embassy we paid $330!
The visa is now valid for 6 months( the same period of time as the medical exam)!
At the embassy only the main winner is required to show the high school diploma in original and copies!
We had to show financial support documents such as bank statements, birth certificates, marriage certificates, police checks from all countries where we lived with translations as well and the sealed envelopes with the medical results!

thank you all for your help and wish you good luck with your visas!

Does anyone know what happens if we don't have a record of the vaccines we had when we were younger?
Click to expand...
We did not have a record with the vaccines and we could not find the doctor where we were registered as kids as we lived for many years in different countries! In this case we requested the vaccines list from high school! They have a register for each student and they gave us a copy with the vaccinations! It is imperative to present the vaccines list at the medical exam!
