DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Team,we have safely landed in USA on 16th Feb.My family and I,we are happy and fine.
We have not yet receive our Green Card nor SSN,however we paid for Green can on 11th Feb before we came here in USA. My questions:
1.Is it possible for my spouse to go back home (original country) and stay there for 2months and come again to join us in US.
2.What documents needed on the above request.
3.Does it necessarry to wait for Green Card and SSN before going back to original country?
4.Will this move (going back to original country for 2 months) will have any negative impact on my process/stay in USA?I heard some people say will create a delay for me to become a citizen..Is that correct?

Any guidance that will not violate my Green Card on this juncture will be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I am AF9xxx, submitted DS-260 on 4th November but not yet received 2NL. Anyone else here in same range on CN and submission date who have not received 2NL or has received?

Surprise is that case numbers in the range of AF49xxx have started getting 2NL and early numbers are still waiting after 3 months of submitting DS-260 in spite of exclusion of documentation process with KCC.

I read here in the forum that things depend a lot on capacity of Embassy/mission and Casablanca (CSB) looks in better situation in February. Can we expect something until next month?

Or it is also possible that some case numbers may never be processed?

It has been explained many times that, your embassy of choice / address, can be a factor. Until they get a spot for you, you have to wait.

And yes it is possible that some cases are never processed (get an interview, because by this time they must have processed your ds260) . But for your case I think it will be processed.

1. Yes
2. Just the passport which has the endorsed immigrant visa in it.
3. No
4. No delay for two months - although there is a formula that calculates how much presence you have. But really - why to do care? 5 years or 5.5 years is really no difference.

Hi I am AF7XXX, DS-260 submitted 24 May, have not received 2NL
 
I made a wrong “province error” on the ds260, by entering the wrong province in the country I am in.
I will like to know how serious this may be an issue? (They are about 4, every other addresses are ok only provinces names).

I will email the consulate and let them know (They are about 4 of them)

I don't think you can change now. Tell them on the interview date or maybe email the consulate once you get the 2nl. It also really depends on which province of which country we're talking about. And, whether this affects your police certificate from that country. For example, if it's abu Dhabi but you put Dubai down, then there's no problem. However, if it's a province in North Iraq you lived in let's say around 2015 (you know the events), but put down the capial for exmaple, then that would cause delays and extra checks.

No it’s not a war zone state. It’s Bahrain, provinces are hardly even used in documents. Reference are mostly by city names.

Well, your only option now is to tell them on the interview date. I don't know how it exactly works. I think before the co asks you to swear that you're telling the truth, you could say, I wanna remark that in my ds260 I put the name of this province wrong. Maybe someone who's done the interview knows to whom or when you should tell them.

And as far as I know, Bahrain is not a troubled country so there's very low chance of them being worried security wise.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows the approximate time it takes for a case to be transferred from one embassy to another?

My case was scheduled for Feb 09, however borders were closed and I was unable to travel home for the interview. And now I am awaiting a date for rescheduling however the embassy has just closed again due to COVID cases in the country. I am considering transferring it to another embassy.

From memory I believe I read in a past post that some people have had major issues with their cases getting lost in transit? Is this correct or is it unlikely to happen?

There’s no known average or approximate time as that is between the two embassies involved. Transfer period between embassy A and B will not necessarily be the same between embassy X and Y. And yes, cases could become lost in transit during the process.

p.s. don’t duplicate the same question on multiple threads, doing so constitutes forum spamming.
 
Hi guys, I know you always say that "you shouldn't even think about moving/rescheduling the interview".

But how does it work exactly? Does KCC send you the interview date and hour and you have no chance to discuss/change that?

The thing is I have a medical procedure (surgery) schedule for the end of April, and after that I will have around 10 days that I won't be able to leave home. So what happens if my embassy schedules me for those exactly 10 days? Will be able to change it for a week after or something? will I risk losing the interview if I even dare to ask them to change it?

Thank you so much

PS: Clarify that I have not receive my 2NL yet.

KCC does not discuss date/time before scheduling the interview. You’ll need to work directly with the embassy after you’ve been scheduled if the scheduled date does not work for you.

Regardless, the data is clear and lawsuits are needed and it's great that they're doing them now rather than in summer. Whether you join or not a lawsuit, you will be a beneficiary of them as we dv22 are beneficiary of dv21 lawsuits to some extent. How far do the benefits go depends on your details and other things. Your choice y'all.
