DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hello, after emailing a photo of our passports and DS-260 confirmation pages to Stockholm post (this was requested by them) I received a reply from them that makes me a little worried and don't know wether I should answer them now, or wait for the interview. Their email says:

Dear Sir,

Well received, thank you. Principal applicant (XXXXX) must also document how he can derive foreign state chargeability from Denmark which was entered in initial diversity visa registration instead of Hungary. For information, please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...rogram-entry/diversity-visa-instructions.html

Sincerely,
Immigrant Visa Unit

Now, as mentioned a couple of times before on the forum, this was an error. I was hoping an old FAM guide would still apply for this error, regarding same region. My question is; should I email them back now, explain that this was an error, hoping that the old FAM rule would apply? Or just ignore the email and go to the interview?

Thank you for you help!
 
I now cannot unlock my d260 because KCC has already scheduled my interview. I am the principal applicant, l did not put one country (country being Namibia) my husband travelled to (for 3 days) in 2017 that is because he travelled there before we knew each other and got married and the stamp is an old expired passport that was collected when he got the new passport. Do l tell the CO before the interview starts about the country, he travelled to in 2017 before the interview starts.
 
hello

I have a question about the DV2022 CP Timeline Tracker - the link is in Sm1smom’s signature.

I’ve noticed a lot of entries have Documents Sent Date (Non-KCC Requested), what is the meaning of that column?
Do people send physical documents even if KCC didn’t asked anything and the DS-260 is processed electronically?
I thought documents should only be sent when KCC asks for them.
Is this something that will speedup processing the case?
 
Hi,

My wife & I will hopefully be scheduled for an interview soon at the Abu Dhabi Embassy, UAE. Our country of chargeability is Sri Lanka.

My question is, is it a requirement to get our documents (Birth certificate, Marriage certificate, high school educational certificates) attested from Ministry of Foreign affairs in Sri Lanka?

Also, does anyone know an approximate amount of funds to be shown for example until we find jobs there, in order to not be required to provide an I-134 form?

I’m sorry I can’t recommend what you should do at this point, you’ll need to make a judgment call on wether to respond to the email or pretend you did not receive it and wait until your interview date.

You can request to update the DS260 form when you go for your interview.

That information was applicable back when selectees were required to submit their documents to KCC for processing before KCC subsequently scheduled their interview. So folks proactively submitted the documents then prior to receiving the document submission request email from KCC. It however is no longer applicable.

Hi Sm1smon, thanks for your reply. Yes, I am a little worried, they really seem to have gone through my case. I don't really know what to do, on the other if it's resolved in the email it could save me a few bucks if it was going to get denied either way. It just seems like I would be the first one getting denied for this. It's a tricky situation. Can they at all deny the case without interview? I doubt it's a CO at the other end of the email?

Thanks!

I'm unable to confirm if a CO already reviewed your file or not, or if the email is from a CO. However, It is fair to say even if the email is not from a CO, my guess is since your embassy goes through the trouble of requesting documents prior to the interview date, any noted irregularities following the review of the submitted documents will be flagged by the administrative staff for the CO's attention anyways. Which means if an applicant is required to attend an interview prior to case approval or denial, the CO will be able to see the flagged information/comment on the day of the interview.

Right, that makes sense, thank you! I think I'm going to write, let them know that it was a mistake and refer to the abbreviated FAM guide. We'll see what happens, beyond my control regardless.

1. Per the DOS Reciprocity page for UAE:
"Certified English translations are required for all documents not issued in English."
2. "A lot" - sorry I can't approximate what "a lot" could be. Easiest thing is to always get an I-134 (especially for an embassy like the UAE known for requesting an I-134).

Yeah, point out the fact that both countries fall within the same region regardless and that you have not obtained any advantage so to speak with the wrong country selection).

Hi, I've submitted my DS260 on 07/13/2021 and when I check my submitted DS260 at the ceac, there are some meta information in the header.
One is an expiration date which states 04/30/2022. This is not that much time till expiration. Does it really mean, that my DS260 then is invalid? Or is it just a date I should not care about?ds260.jpg

The form's expiration date is irrelevant to you. The date that matters is Sept. 30th, the last day of the applicable FY.
 
Hey there can anyone reply please?? Did you guy pay the VISA fee in which currency in dollers or can we pay in our county currency ??
 
Hi everyone,

We're current this month (EU1xxxx) but we still haven't received a request for the interview and our case is still with NVC. Does it make any sense to reach out and ask for an update? Granted, we submitted our forms late - Nov/Dec last year.

How much of a heads-up do you get for an interview? If I get a notification today, will it be scheduled a week from today? A month? More? What are our chances of actually getting scheduled for the interview?

I understand that all EU cases will become current next month, correct? Does that mean that people who submitted their forms early will be at an advantage? What are our chances here?

Thanks in advance for your input.
 
URGENT!

Hi everyone,

Who has experience in rescheduling interview date?
The embassy advised me to wait until original interview date will pass and through ais.usvisa-info.com account you can reschedule interview date.
I am just wondering that now my account in ais.usvisa-info.com has no option or link for rescheduling. What do you think after my original interview date will some button or link appear for reschedule option?

Thanks you in advance!
