DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Good day forum people,
Simple question. If selectee has a strong sponsor in US (who provides I-134, full tax returns info, banks statements for last 8-10 month etc) is selectee still needs to have and present his own bank account statements print outs during the interview? Or this does not make a sence anymore?
Thanks a lot.

Not really. However, doing so and having the personal statements on hand wouldn't hurt the case either.

Can I have a pdf ds260 form of the 2023AF samples pls

DS 260 are unified forms, I believe and they're not dependable on regions.
I'm unable to attach links in this thread, due to the forum's rules, but you can google "DS 260 Sample" and you will be able to find the official DS-260 IV Application SAMPLE, posted by Travel State
 
Question: I have my visa, but I want to leave in another address.
1) How can I change my address so that all my documents come to my new address?
2) At the airport when I arrive should I say my new address, when asked (please explain if necessary)?

1&2: Provide the new address when you get to the POE.

Yes, as mom says. We were asked by the immigration official at the airport if we needed to change the address, but apparently they don’t always ask people so make sure to inform them if they don’t ask you.
 
As Frankfurt is very slow at processing, I would like to switch over to Paris.
I was looking for that option to switch but didn't find it at CEAC's page.
Has someone ever changed the interview location and can explain the process? Thank you.

i am sorry to tell you but as stated on the official website of the us embassy in france "Immigrant visas to the United States are processed for citizens and residents of France and Portugal at the U.S. Embassy in Paris." so unless you are a resident of either france or portugal you cannot change your interview location to Paris.

Where do you get your information that frankfurt is “slow at processing” (and in fact can you explain exactly what you mean by that?)
Latest data are for March, which show Frankfurt issued 37 DV visas. Considering there were only 527 selectees for Germany, a number of whom usually do not follow their selection, that seems like a pretty decent monthly pace to me. If they were slow earlier, they do seem to be trying to catch up.

they aren't slow at processing, what he meant is, they don't give out enough interviews. on paper it looks like germany has only had 527 selectees but people seems to forget that frankfurt was so generous to be willing to also automatically handle ALL ukrainian winners which adds roughly 6k (minus whatever has already been handled in ukraine before the war has begun, minus a few ukrainians that are elsewhere atm..) to the 527 german selectees. and they haven't scheduled anyone past the 13.5k mark, in fact, they are only scheduling lower case numbers which most of them are ukrainians....
 
Hello @Sm1smom hope you are doing well. please if you can help me.
1)I had my interview yesterday and the consular put us in AP for proof of relationship - me and my spouse were married after I won the DV dhe also we have a newborn afterwards. What does this mean?

2) my spouse has had a problem which he had taken a fine from the jury, but had forgotten and as we did not remember it we did not present any court decision. When the consular asked if he has had any problem with the justice, he answered NO because he did not remembered. The consular in the end said to wait for an email from embassy. Is this a big deal in your judgment?

Thanks for your time

1. I don’t understand precisely what your question is here. What does what mean?
2. How did you guys end up remembering? Did the CO bring it up after you had answered NO?

1. Did they ask you to provide further proof? If so, give it, if not, wait for them to do whatever they need to do to assess that the relationship is genuine and not a green card marriage. (A baby helps but is not by itself conclusive evidence.)

1) The question is about does it mean that we have looked suspicious about our marriage even that we provided them photos of our relationship of 13 years , but they took only the last ones of the last year as evidence?
2) yes the CO bring it up, since the police certificates were sent directly to the embassy and we did not look at them , since we were sure we were clear.

We provided photos which they selected only few from the last year. They said that they will send us an email.

1. Okay, so you will need to wait for their email like they already informed you they will be sending you one. They may have follow-up questions about your relationship, they email will shed more light for you on what they wish to see if they still have an doubt about your relationship.
2. The non disclosure on the DS260 form, failure to show up with a court disposition, and answering NO to the question under oath when the CO asked about it is not looking good IMO. That is not the kind of thing your husband should have forgotten, I have to say. So again, not much you can do at this point but to wait for the email. In the meantime, your husband should start working on getting the applicable court disposition documents while waiting for the email from the embassy.

2. It was a court decision in his absence and the fine that the judge has given was forgiven in the end and also it has happened 11 years ago. You are right, it looks really bad.
We have already taken the court decision and will translate it in english as well just to be prepared.
3.Does it mean anything that they held our passports?
4. It is possible that the visa may be approved for me ( I am the main applicant) and my daughter, and not for him?

1. I cannot speculate as to if that means something or not, you’ll have to wait and see.
2. Yes, that is possible.
