Thank you very much. I can now see the big picture. I listened to Mr. Simon's video about the lawsuit, but missed the video on the interview. I did not at the time planned on joining the lawsuit thinking that higher numbers anyway might not get a chance, observing the VB's slow moment. Anyway, I am grateful for your explanation. Once again, thank a lot.

You can enroll your kids right away. You don't need to wait for the SSN or their GC in order to enroll them in school.
 
Hello everyone, thank you all and whoever has an answer for me.
My brother from Belarus won dv2022 with number eu22***. First question should we expect to be current somewhere around April May? And more importantly when I filled out the original greencard application to enter in the lottery, I indicated “married” for him and his wife and kids info. Later I found out that they were officially divorced a year prior to filling this application (reasons outside of family choice, meaning they continued living together and having a family but needed a divorce on paper to be able to move out of their apartment and move into a house for kids due to the country’s complicated and not always making sense laws) when we found out he won, they remarried and submitted ds260 (they have been married from 2005 to 2019) and every year for 10 years I filled out married for him. Is this a reason for disqualification? The site is clear on the opposite scenario (when u file single when actually married- automatically disqualified) but not on our scenario. I didn’t realise they were divorced on paper and it was an honest mistake on my part.. but do we have a chance? Thank you again!!!!

1. I can’t predict when your CN will become current.
2. The instructions actually covers your brother’s situation also. If he was already officially divorced as at when the eDV entry was submitted (which is what I gathered from your explanation since they had to remarry after he got selected), his marital status should have been listed as “Divorced”, the ex-wife shouldn’t have been included in his entry. The instruction says:
“… listing someone who is not your spouse, will make you ineligible as the Diversity Visa principal applicant and your spouse and children will also be ineligible as Diversity Visa derivative applicants. DV 2022 Instructions
The wife was not his spouse when the entry was submitted, she was his ex-wife back then.

If you’ve been submitting the application on your brother’s behalf for the past 10 years (and you used the information you’ve been using before for the 2022 entry submission), does this mean the pictures you used for him and his family were not recent photos?

Thank you for your answer! Is there a chance to fight it if they are able to explain why the mistake was made and what were the circumstances of the divorce. The pictures I used were always current, the only reason I mentioned 10 years is because this year I did not question if they were married as they never officially announced it, it was a measure necessary on paper, everything remained the same family and love wise. I live in the US and they live there and we haven’t seen each other in 5 years so hence me not being updated, they did not realise the importance of this change for the application as they never filled it out themselves. Again thank sincerely

I don’t know what you mean by “fight it”. They’re free to proceed with the processing and attend the interview when scheduled if they wish. The CO will have the final say as to their eligibility.
 
“Fight it” means dispute ineligibility criteria. I don’t understand what you mean by “they are free to proceed and attend interview if they wish” are you saying this with sarcasm while being positive they have no chance to get approved? Or do you genuinely not know for sure and it all depends on the situational decision of the officer? I am sorry if you got annoyed by my questions but I honestly do not understand the vibe of your answer. Of course they wish to proceed even if there is a slight chance. The political situation in their country is changing by day ( people get arrested for instagram posts) and they want to do everything in their power to immigrate, forget about the fact that we want to be together again and have our children grow up together, the error was not their fault but mine, and it might not seem like a big deal to anyone but it is to me and to them, so I just want ur objective opinion! I appreciate you taking time to respond

Dude slow your roll! There was no sarcasm in my response.

The only truthful response you can get from me is what I already provided you with. The CO who will adjudicate the case will have the final say. It is as simple as that. Yes if they wish to proceed fully aware this is a dice roll that could turn up as a six or a one, they are certainly free to do so. I already provided you with what the rule says, my personal opinion is irrelevant as I will not be the one to adjudicate their case. The CO is the one with the power to do so and will therefore have the final say as already stated.
 
Hello! My number is EU21XXX so I will become elegible in April. I filled the DS260 in June 18th but didn't receive any further notification from KCC about my process. Now, I am not sure abotu the next steps to be taken. I guess I have to wait to get a change in the status at CEAC website, or do I have to wait to an email from KCC to be able to ask for an interview date?

Thanks in advance!
 
Hello everyone! Has anyone heard of anybody successfully getting visa issued this year DV22, with a wrong country of chargeability but under the same region? I know the rule was made "unavailable" in the FAM book.

I'm asking cause I'm in that boat, charged to a different country but both fall under EU. Super nervous. I'm EU3XXX.

Thank you in advance!
 
Hello everybody,

maybe a stupid question but I prefer to ask.

Each year about 55.000 diversity visa are issued thanks to Diversity Visa lottery.
With "55.000" do they refer to "winning case numbers" or to "total number of visa issued" ?
There are some case numbers with entire families to serve (4 visas for example) do these 4 visas count as 4 or as 1 (1 case number) ?

Thanks.

It refers to the total number of visas (selectees plus their derivatives).

You wait to be scheduled for an interview, assuming KCC is done processing your DS260 form and your embassy is also interviewing DV cases. When you get scheduled may also depend on how backed up your embassy may be by the way (even if they are interviewing DV cases).

Thanks for your answer.

So they let win about 119,021 case numbers and with a rough average each case number has 2 visas to be issued.
This means that only (or less) than 1 person out of 5 winners really gets the Green Card ? I knew that winning the diversity visa doesn't guarantee that green card will be issued, but I didn't figured it out that a winner has only 20% of probability to get a green card.

Am I wrong ?
