DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

[Vasia 778]

INA 221(g) checked on the paper you were given means your case is officially in AP (Administrative Processing) because the CO has found you ineligible for an immigrant visa due to some concerns about your previous stay in the US and Canada. The CO however is willing to give you a chance to clear up the concerns, hence they did not outrightly deny your application but officially gave you a temporary refusal pending your submission of the requested information and some further review of your case after the submission. So provide them with the requested information without delay.

It doesn't matter what you showed or explained during the interview, (which seems like they weren't satisfied by). They need you to provide a written statement regarding those questions, so respond to them as requested. (I wouldn't find a simple explanation of spending 6 months in the US to find an appropriate flight school an acceptable explanation if I was the CO too by the way).

How were you searching? Did you visit different States and the different flight schools there in person, or you were conducting your search from just one location? Do you have proof of visiting all these other States outside of the one where you arrived and stayed at? If you have those evidence, provide them as part of your response.

So include evidence/proof in support of the trips, places you travelled to. Simply traveling to the US and staying there for 6 months, or traveling to Canada is not an automatic reason for denial. But if they suspect you violated the conditions of your admission, such as doing things you were not supposed to do, or overstaying your authorized stay (these are just a couple of examples), that can lead to a denial.

I know AP processing time differ
for each applicants
Usually How long it take ?

 

[Godzilla9]

Does changing consulate (and current address in DS, I assume), create issues at the interview? Like, officers scrutinizing the fact that I don't actually live in that country? Want to hear thoughts of those who know or faced it.

Most embassy require you to be citizen to be able to interview at their embassy.

Like you already noted being aware of, it varies. It could be anywhere between a couple of days, weeks, months, or years.

No. This is not accurate. People are scheduled by KCC based on their place of residence. Being a citizen is not a necessity. They don't really care about citizenship or cointry of chargability when scheduling. Some exceptions sometimes (mainly last days of dv22) happen the other way, where they schedule a person at their citizenship country rather than country of residence.

Some embassies also interview non-resident people from neighbouring countries which lack an embassy.

I am a citizen of that country and plan to move there waiting for interview (will work online while waiting). Have you heard this becoming a reason for AP as might sound fishy to the consulate?

No problem. Supposing that kcc does schedule you at your country of citizenship.
Technically, embassies process immigrant visas for citizens and residents of that country. They mention in on embassy's websites usually.
I haven't heard of such a thing. Maybe someone else knows better.

As long as you're honest with your ds260 and answers to the CO, should they ask then it's all fine. It's also quite common. It could become a reason for ap if your country of residence is a troubled country or they assume you've done something bad in that country and trying to hide it.

They told you they will send you a form with additional questions, right? So yeah, you need to wait for their email which should contain further instructions on how to send what they’ve requested from you.

Right she told they will send.
You mentioned above if consular suspect you violated conditions they can deny give visa however I have never violated any conditions of my staying.in this case if they refuse my visa because of they suspect is there anything i can do for prove myself or it is just over? Because i thought winning green card lottery it is one of the applicant right to have a visa if applicants background is ok and documentary qualified.

Hi @Sm1smom

My CN is 2022AF9xxx. After three email communications with KCC, today I received a different kind of reply as follows instead of that regular one where KCC replies.. "Allow several weeks for processing...

"Thank you for your inquiry.

Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check https://dvprogram.state.gov. If you need to make changes to your DS-260 you should contact the consular section where you will be interviewed, or bring the information about your changes to your interview appointment. Because your case is ready to be scheduled, KCC can no longer unlock your application."....

What does it mean by this email reply from KCC ?

My DS260 processing has finished?
About to get READY status?
About to get 2nd NL?

I’m sorry there’s nothing you can do if they decide to deny your visa application due to whatever reason they decide to do so. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. No applicant has the “right” to be issued with a visa.

I’m sorry I’m unable to go into the technical details or precisely what the email response is outside of what it says - your case is current, an interview date is about to be scheduled (provided your embassy is working).

Hello there did anyone receive mail from KCC ??

And also I heard that many people says that KCC has stopped 2022 Dv for the law suit of 2021 that judge menhat who has impose the law for 2021DV

I received DR on September 14th 2021 and submitted my documents on 15th September 2021 but i didn't receive DQ before the cancellation of documents processing. But in March 2022 I made an inquiry to KCC to know the status of my case and KCC responded by saying "my case is current for interview processing"
