DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hello everybody,
I have been selected for the dv lottery 2022 (EU10XXX). So I don't know about my chances from now on given the relatively high case number but I have a very practical question:

I have submitted my ds260 form a month ago and my passport is expiring early next year (in February). What should I do? Renew it now or wait for the KCC to eventually process my case? If I go the renewal route, should I notify them?

Thanks a lot for your time
During your interview you will need a valid passport with not less 6 months to its expiration.
DV2022 interviews start in October 2021.
That will be less than 6 months to February 2022 if you were to get an early interview
Renew and go to your interview if given an appointment with the new passport (and the old copy)
 
ok thanks for your answer. Do I have to notify KCC then? Because what happens if they process my case and my passport has been renewed?

Don’t overthink it. If you have time to update passport details on the ds260 before you are scheduled then do it, otherwise just take both passports to the interview (or a copy of the bio page if you have to hand the old one back). (Take both even if you have updated before you go, as you have to show you entered DV with a valid passport)

Hi again,
I have two questions:

1-Is it better to send a request for changing embassy before the case is being current or after that? (CN: 2022AS1xxxx)
2-I have sent a request for unlocking Ds-260 on June 8th, but in the subject of the Email I wrote "Unlocking DS-260" and not my case number... (I wrote it on the body of my Email) is that a problem? should I send another Email?

Thank you for your time.

1. Before.
2. I don’t know. See your 1NL and follow the instructions there regarding how to email KCC.
 
After completing DS260 from for my self (principal applicant) and my derivatives (souse & children), when Signing and submitting whose Passport number should be entered.
Only for Signature part ( end of the DS 260)

1) is Principal applicant's (my) PP No for ALL DS-260 ( ie: Sign with my PP No for my spouse's and children's DS 260)?
OR
Respective applicant's PP No- means, for my spouse DS260 -her PP No, and for Children's DS 260 their PP No

2) It ask for " Do anyone assist you in filling out this applciation?", for my derivatives (spouse and children) , Do I suppose to say "YES"/ "NO"
(though I fill them DS260 for all of them)

Clarify?

1. Your spouse is an adult, he/she is expected to sign the form themself with their passport information. You sign for your minor kids if they are 14 or under, you can list their passport information in that case, not a problem.
2. If your spouse ordinarily wouldn’t have been able to fill out the form on their own if you weren’t available, then select YES. Otherwise have your spouse review their form for accuracy and select NO. A parent is allowed to fill out the form for their minor kids as if they filled it out themselves, so you can safely select NO for the kids.
 
Hi
I submitted DS260 for all family members a few days ago, should I send documents now or wait?
My case number is low 2022AS2**

If it’s that low and you want an interview as soon as possible, I’d send now. The interview schedule for October will be finalized in August (probably early august), so you’d want processing complete by then.

Good day,
What about for example the winner cannot fill out by him self since not fluent in English. Help was provided by Sister. Is it Ok to mark ‘YES’ (helped) by Sister right? And for kids to mark ‘YES’ by Aunt correct?

thank you

you mean, I can insert my children (under 14) passport number to sign & submit their own DS-260 form isn't it?
