DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Congratulations dude !!!!!!! Best of luck
Just an update in case it could help anyone, they called me from the embassy and I found out that the reason behind temporary refusal was because they wanted my old passport to remove the B1/B2 visa from it before printing the immigrant visa. Which I had with me during the interview but they didn't ask for it although it's the passport I entered the lottery with. The status has been changed to "Issued" today. Good luck everyone!
 
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I got my interview email yesterday it's on April 18.

Thank you for all the invaluable information from everyone, and a special thank you to @Britsimon for all the answers on the telegram. (I'm restricted there because I bullied someone who kept asking if KCC is open and the admin restricted me) wishing everyone the best of luck :)

Which location are you having the interview?
 
Hi! Has anyone been interviewed in London before? I’m AS but in my final year of university in the UK and I have selected London as my interview place.

I have no friends or family in the USA.

1 Do you know how much money the LOndon US embassy/officers want? Is 100,000 USD enough? What’s a safe minimum amount for the London case officers/embassy?

2 Also is it okay that this money is the sum of money from bank accounts under my name in different countries?

3 is it okay that my parents keep the money to support me in an account under their names but write a letter stating that they’ve set this money aside for me?

Thanks!!
 
Awesome News,
Please if ANYONE has a mistake on their ds260, contact your embassy, they will unluck and you will make the changes.
Add the barcode of your ds260.
 
Hello,

We got our interview invitation for April 7. We understand that the next step now is to do the medical exam as stated on the consulate's website. However, it also says that you have to complete all necessary vaccinations for the medical to be considered complete. Now, how would that be possible because we only have 1 month until the interview??? You can't possible have ALL vaccinations within such a short period of time.

Has anyone else been in the same situation? What did you do?

Is it possible to reschedule the interview? Is it necessary at all (just because the vaccination issue)?

Does rescheduling the interview reduce your chance to get an immigrant visa?

I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!

You don't schedule your interview. KCC schedules the interview.
Is it possible to reschedule it? We got ours for April 7, but we still have to do the medical exam and it says that all vaccinations must be completed for the medical to be considered complete. Not sure how that's gonna be possible time-wise since we only have a month. Wondering if rescheduling is an option, and if yes, would that reduce the possibility of visa approval?

Thanks in advance.

There isn't a lot of vaccine required, in general they can all be completed in one visit. Any vaccine that requires a follow-up dosage will be noted as such on the medical report with instructions to complete them when due.
**The exception to this is the COVID-19 vaccine. Those must be completed before the CS can sign off on the medical report - everyone should have had the opportunity to do so prior to going in for the medical exam by the way.

It is never a good idea to reschedule the visa interview appointment, most especially when it can be avoided.
 
When it is ready, you can contact the embassy. You can still contact NVC.
1. NVC has nothing to do with DV cases, so you cannot contact them with requests to update the DS260 form.
2. Once a case has been sent over to the embassy, contacting KCC to update the DS260 form is no longer an option. KCC cannot unlock the form once it is scheduled for an interview.

This should only be done AFTER the case file has been sent over to the embassy. The embassy cannot unlock the form that is yet to be sent to them.
 
Hi everyone,

I just received the 2NL letter and stated filling Consular Immigrant Visa appointment.
Just wanted to know where I can find the "DS-260 number"?

P.S. Is this the DS-260 Confirmation Number ?
 
Hi all, I hope you are doing well.

I received an invitation for an interview, we are a family of two, husband and wife. I am the main applicant, we got married after results and I accepted my husband’s names. In ds260 I have clearly written that I am married and I have added my new names. However, on the main page where the two applications are placed, my maiden name still appears, and now the invitation for an interview is with my maiden name.

Is this my fault, will we be a problem for the interview and how can I fix it?

Best regards,
 
Hi All,

Quick question: What do I need to enter USA for the first time after visa approval?
-Pay the USCIS fee
-Sealed Package
-Passport
-Radio of thorax
-Anything else? ESTA?

Thanks a lot!!!

There's no problem with the way the names are displayed, there's nothing to fix (that is the normal practice). Your visa, following a successful interview, will be issued based on the name listed on the passport you present.

Your passport with the issued immigrant visa and the sealed envelope/package provided by the embassy are all that you need.
 
Hello everyone, got my interview appointment on April 14th and have a question about the medical examination. Before booking an appointment I have to send a couple of information like passport etc. They also asked for a CASE NUMBER and said it usually starts with AA, which has me confused.

Does anyone know which case number I should provide? The lottery case number starting with 2022 or the DS confirmation number, which starts with AA. Also, my wife's case number differs from my AA number. The case number would make more sense.

Thank you in advance!
