DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

[Atg]

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.

Your DS-260 form needs to be processed first, then your application will be available for scheduling. DS-260 forms are processed in submission date order, but once processed it depends on the capacity of your embassy how many cases they can handle and when they can accept your case. Nobody ever got that information from KCC or the embassy. If you send an inquiry to KCC, they will auto-respond where you can only find out if your DS-260 is processed.

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?

If you get 2NL, your interview would be in 4-6 weeks. In some rare cases, it can be sooner.

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?

Nobody knows that. It can stay on the same number, become current, or retrogress to a lower number.

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 ??

I don’t know about other embassies, but Paris gives you the option to pay in Euros or Dollars if you pay cash. If you pay by card however they’ll automatically charge you in Dollars.

Thank very much

A friend of mine, when he had his DS-260 filled out they made a mistake on his sponsor in the US. They put the wrong middle name and last name of the person. The address and phone # are correct. His CN is current and he can't edit his ds-260 now. What should he do?

Hi! Did you get 2nl?

Thank very much

Hi, my case number will be current in May !!
I am AS26,XXX. I have some questions.

1. How long does it usually take for a current case number to be called for an interview? (eg. If the bulletin says that my case# will be current in May, when can I expect the invitation/interview to happen? - My chosen embassy is LONDON).


2. I'm thinking about changing LONDON to BANGKOK because I might be there after May. (But I don't mind travelling to and from if need be)
Is it too late to change my interview location? What is the worse case scenario if I choose to change my location right now? And how much could my case be pushed back? Is it risky given that they might run out of visas first?

Thank you so much!

@Atg Thanks so much for your input.

"Nobody knows that. It can stay on the same number, become current, or retrogress to a lower number."

Oh, OK. I didn't know this was a possibility.
From previous entries, I thought everyone becoming current next month was a given.

Update the information at the interview.

1. Hard to say, this has not been a normal processing year.
2. Again this has not been a normal processing year. Interview location can be changed if the case has not yet been scheduled for an interview or put in line for interview scheduling.

All cases do not necessarily become current, talk-less of them becoming current in a particular/specific month. There have been years where certain regions/cases did not go current in the past.

Is there a quota for DV visas based on the regions or based on the countries? I found on the visa bulletin website that DV visas are divided among six geographic regions. No one country can receive more than seven percent of the available diversity visas in any one year. I could not find any data related to the quota system for the DV visas?

I'm ok thanks, hope you too.

no one can predict when you should expect to get 2nl. A lot of numbers are current for May, that does not mean that everyone will get their interview in May. But you can now expect it anytime, who knows.

about Visa payment, you will pay at the embassy. but check your embassy requirements anyway.

If your Police report is clear, then you have a good chance.

No more interview experiences??
Guy let’s know the kinda questions you were being asked

 

[anuchit.u]

Can I add a spouse and a child after my case status is "Ready"?

 

[Atg]

Can I add a spouse and a child after my case status is "Ready"?

Did you have them listed on the DV lottery entry? When your case is scheduled to an embassy, only the embassy can unlock DS-260. But this is a big change, not sure how that will affect DS-260 "pre-processing", or eventually later Administrative Processing.
