Thanks for your reply.

I wrote an email and there was a formal reply regarding those who have a new passport and is different from the one which entered for DV Application.
Should I asked to open the DS-260 and update the passport details there in the form?

Take both passports along to your interview. You don't need to unlock the DS260 to update the new passport information.

Based on some of the updates you've provided to date, it seems to me like the CO is seriously concerned you've either violated your authorized stay by undertaking some unauthorized work at one point or the other during your past stays in the US:

* You were issued with a SSN back in 2010 for your 3 month summer temporary worker program, you were paid weekly by your employer and you don't know if they ever filed any taxes on your earned income or not. You have been back in the US since then once (or a couple of times?) - there may be concern you worked during those periods also.
* You were in the US in 2017 as a tourist, you bought a vehicle, got 5 traffic violation tickets, your vehicle got towed during one of those - buying a vehicle is not a normal activity for most legitimate tourists by the way, so maybe the CO is aware of this? Again there may be concern you were actually working in the US while you were there as a tourist
* You were in the US for 6 months searching for an aviation school (not sure if this is the same visit as the 2017 one or a different one) - CO was not satisfied by the explanation you provided during your interview as to why you stayed for so long - may the CO was concerned as to how you were able to sustain yourself without working (considering you already had a SSN)
* You stayed back in Canada for several months as a tourist after your schooling program had already been concluded, you indicated you're unemployed on your DS260 - the CO was probably wondering how have you been able to sustain yourself during all these times without working.

Anyway, you need to truthfully fill out the questionnaire they sent you, I can't tell you how to fill it out any other way in order to "get a positive result". Use your best judgement in answering the questions asked. If a section does not apply to you indicate so by writing N/A (Not applicable) and include a separate note explaining how it does not apply to you. If you have assets in your home country in your name, list those assets and include valuations that confirms what those assets may be worth.

In addition, find a USC or LPR to provide you with an I-134 (which I recommended to you back in 2020, I think). Upload that form (in addition to the applicable supporting documents) with the DS-5540 and any other supporting document you're able to gather in support of whatever you write on the form and email them all together back to the embassy.

Best of luck!

Hello thanks for explanation
I mentioned my SSN number on DS260 but not sure employer filled tax or not 11 years ago. How can i check they did or not ? Any place to ask?

Since 2010 i had been in USA just in 2017.All traffic tickets i paid on time. I bought car just 600$ and drove around 3 month for go other cities.
Generally flight schools cost over 40k $. Spending that amount money without seeing school conditions for me was not right.I said to consular why i choose Canada school they allow international students apply permanent residence after study if they eligible and student can work part time while studying however USA does not allow as i remember.Also to get Canada study visa applicant need to show enough funds.
I have only 1 friend in USA the person who i mentioned his address on DS260 for green card mailing address.He has a family and 2 kids he is working as truck driver can he fill. I -134 form? Or it is better i find someone else?
My 2 brothers working as a pilot in my homecountry airlines can i show them as a sponsor?
Sorry for long text
 
Hi all,

I have my medical exam next week and my interview in April. Both say they'll be looking for my intended US address and I don't have family over there I can use. Are they strict on this? I wasn't going to book an Airbnb until I was confirmed.

Are you aware of the number of student visas that gets issued every year? Here's the number for the past couple of years:
2017 - 421,008; 2018 - 389,579; 2019 - 388,839; 2020 - 121,205; 2021 - 377,659

You're telling a CO who is highly familiar with the thousands of student visas that get's issued annually you needed 6 months to check out a flight training school before deciding on which one to apply to, while hoping they subsequently offer you an admission. A large majority of those with the student visas have never stepped foot in the US before applying for their student visas in the first place, and FYI - the tuition ranges between $40,000 to $60,000 annually for them also. While making a commitment "sight unseen" might not have been the right way to proceed in your opinion, the fact that you needed all of six months to check out potential schools didn't sound right to the CO too I'm guessing. The fact that you told the CO you ended up in Canada because of the work opportunity schooling there provides probably got the CO thinking you did not have the required fund to support yourself there either, which is why they have the concern about the possibility of you becoming a public charge in the US. I doubt using your 2 brothers in your home country as your sponsor will be accepted, the CO will wonder how come either of these brothers was not available to fully sponsor your flight school attendance which made being able to work a deciding factor. But now, they're able to sponsor you? I'm not trying to pile on you or needlessly call you out, just trying to explain how the CO might have perceived your application and what you told them which subsequently led to your being perceived as a potential public charge. Anyway, all of that is water under the bridge no, what's done is done.

If your friend's income is at or above 125% of the applicable poverty guideline level to support his household and yourself combine together, yes he can sponsor you. His job does not matter, it is his annual income that matters.

If your friend is not able to sponsor you, then you need to find someone else who can. I don't know of any other option you can utilize.

1. You can contact insurance providers and get a quote for coverage (you don't need to purchase the insurance, just get a quote for potential 30 day coverage). You can visit Simon's blog for more on insurance coverage.
2. Your household size is one if you have no DV derivative.
3. You'll need to provide documentation for any job offer you plan on listing - this will involve you presenting a job offer letter if you plan on saying you have a job waiting for you on arrival.

Mine is a high case number from OC region, it's not even current. I think they will reply regardless of case number
 
After entering the States with the primary applicant, the visa official endorsed our immigrant visa acting as our temporary green card. My question is in our further international travels do we need to travel with the primary applicant?

Not any more. Going forward, each person person’s LPR status is independent of one another.
 
Could share your port of entry experience??

It's pretty straightforward and smooth. You exit the plane and follow the markings. Immigration for citizens and green card/visa holders are different. The immigration officer will check your passport, biometrics and take your photograph and then someone escorts you to a waiting room. After 15-20 minutes someone came and asked us to confirm the address we want our green card to be posted. Then they stamped near the IV visa saying that this will act as our temporary green card for a year and we should get our green card within 6 months.

Ohh alright. Thanks
 
My interview is in three days. I just realized I have made a mistake on my DS-260 with regards to the month of my marriage. Should I contact the embassy and ask them to unlock the DS-260 now or should I just inform the officer during the interview?
