Thanks for your feedbacks. So by update you mean tell the CO I have a Twitter account right? Do u think they might consider that as deliberate hidden information and want to deny the visa?
Anyone who had their interview experience and was in this same situation can please share their experience if they were questioned on omitted social media account. Plus my Twitter account had been disactivated since I was not so active there.
Thanks.

Well, the question is will you decide to not disclose the information if the CO "might consider that as deliberate hidden information and want to deny the visa"?
 
Hi @Sm1smom how are you ?
CAN :2022AS242**
My interview location is Sydney and as you all know the embassy in Sydney is closed, so I tried contact US embassy Fiji and they was very kind and offered to accept your case .
1- they said no need to unlock your D260 the embassy will contact KCC
2- my DS260 still NOT processed yet so I ask them and they say we will process your DS260 when you confirm your transfer

what do you think about what they say about processed the DS260 is it real the embassy can process DS260 as i know only KCC can do that

2- any idea why they will call KCC for transfer ? I mean why they not ask me to do (i know it's better they call KCC not unlock the DS260 I'm just asking )

Thank you !

I have not been closely following reports about Suva's willingness to take on cases from Sydney, I do not know the process involved, I therefore I'm not in a position to comment or analyze the response you got from them.

have you ever heard Embassy processed DS260 ?
Thank you
 
Hi! I've read in the instructions that before going to the appointment in the Madrid embassy you have to register online with their passport return service, but I can't find where or how to register. I have followed the link they provide but it doesn't direct you to their website either.
Has anyone done it and can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide!

From the moment you have an interview scheduled, complete DS-260 processing, and locking/unlocking is handled by the corresponding embassy. But in order to have an interview scheduled, DS-260 has to be initially processed and ready for scheduling.

The first time I see that "to unlock your D260 the embassy will contact KCC". My understanding was that the embassy is not in control and unable to request cases. The embassy can only declare how many available interview slots they have, and then KCC will fill in those slots. Maybe Suva has an empty queue, and believe when they free up more slots, your case will appear... but then, DS-260 would have to be processed in order to become ready for scheduling and assigned to the embassy...

Here is one piece of info from OC/Sydney consulate that is shared in the Telegram group by one of the lawyers:
Our current focus is to interview immigrant visa applicants with pending cases at the U.S. Consulate in Sydney and the National Visa Center. After we process these cases, we will start scheduling cases from the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC). If your DV2022 case is still at KCC, and you are seeking reassignment of your case to another Consulate or Embassy, please contact KCC and advise that the U.S. Consulate in Sydney is not yet conducting interviews for Diversity Visa applicants and that you are requesting your file be reassigned. Please contact KCCDV@state.gov to request a case reassignment

Not sure if it helps and answers your question, but might be helpful to you to decide.

I think you shouldn’t get hung up on the use of the phrase process the DS260 or process the case as contained in the email you received from Suva. Each embassy most likely have some sort of “processing” they do when interviews get scheduled and the forms are received which is not to be confused with the KCC DS260 processing.

I tried. The university where I got my bachelor’s degree doesn’t return and the school doesn’t issue another one. Curious how big issue it is before attempting once more, lol.

The only way you can find out is to write to your embassy and ask them if it's a problem. In Madrid for ex they don't care about high school diplomas, unless it's the highest diploma.

Hello all. Can anyone advise please? I mentioned my social media identifiers which I currently use on my ds260 form but forgot to mention my Twitter account. Do u guys think it can be a critical issue that can cause me denial? Do I have to unlock my form to include my Twitter? Will be glad to hear ur advices. Thanks.

I would suggest you to answer only to the questions the CO will ask you, without mentioning social accounts unless the subject will be raised by the CO. Until now I didn't heard about anyone who had been asked about it.

ugh i am just a silent reader here but i registered to confirm that the embassy/consulate can indeed hit up KCC and request cases. i was out here looking for an embassy willing to take my case and the one embassy i have found told me they will (once it's time) reach out to KCC so i would not need to change my embassy.
