You’ll will presumably still have the expired passport after renewing it (or at least a copy of the expired passport, assuming your country withholds the expired passport), right? So no impact on the selection. And I don’t see the correlation between I-94 expiration and passport expiration or your entry by the way.
I will have it but they cancel it, won’t this affect my ds-260 since the application will be done with a passport number that doesn’t exist any more? I already live in the in the US, my i-94 is connected to my visa expiry date which is the same as my passport, If I renew my passport beforehand and leave (the past few times I have done so my i-94 has been extended past the expiry date in my visa) I think what I'm trying to work out is whether or not to renew my visa as well as my passport.
Passport renewal has no impact on the DS260 form. If the form has already been submitted and the passport gets listed on it gets renewed, you’ll simply request for KCC to unlock the form (if the interview is not yet scheduled) and you update the form with the new passport number. If the KCC is unable to unlock the form because your interview has already been scheduled, you attend your interview with both passports. The visa is basically the document you present at the POE while seeking admission/re-admission to the US, it doesn’t matter if the passport containing the visa stamp has expired, as long as the visa itself is still valid.
That CN is in the 800 range (below 1000). It is a low number and it's a good thing.
If it is really only 2 numbers after the 8 then his number is in the 800s and very low for AF region. He will very likely be current in October. He should make sure he understands everything about the process (BritSimon website a big help) and submit DS260 fairly soon if he wants to get on the earliest possible DV22 interview schedule.
Thank you very much it relieves us now.
Yes it is only 2 numbers after the number 8. Will be going to read BritSimon website I know about him too. You all are very helpful you were a great help for me when I changed my status from F1 to GC holder back in 2019 Mom and all the team helped me a lot. Thank you so much God bless you.!

Yeah, I recommend you renew the passport first before submitting your DS260. KCC will still require the old passport though as part of your documents submission, so be sure to keep it (or make copies if you’re from a country that keeps or destroys old passports when issuing a new one).
Thankyou. Further to this, (OC13XX) do you happen to know if my chances are relatively okay in terms of an interview? From the brief research ive done it looks like I might get an interview in June 2022?
I don’t know. As of now, we don’t even know the total number of selectees for the 2022 FY.
Yes, you made a mistake. The instructions are actually quite clear it should be your country of birth, with limited exceptions. Luckily for you if both erroneously chosen country and correct country are in the same region it’s ok to overlook the error.
Hi Susie, thanks for reply! Would it be a good idea to explain anything in the DS-260 application?
When it comes to immigration, volunteering unsolicited information is never a good idea.
