DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

[Butters]

Thanks a lot, found it. It is very different to the previous one. Should I fill the first part as the beneficiary and send it to my sponsor? What does it mean by "Complete Part 2. regardless of whether you are filing this form on behalf of yourself as the beneficiary or on behalf of another
individual who is the beneficiary"? Should this part be filled by me as the beneficiary or by the sponsor?

Yes. You are the beneficiary and you are filling the form. So, part 1: tick the first box "Myself as the beneficiary". The second option is if you had an interpreter or someone else filling it for you(e.g. lack of English language knowledge). So, if the selectee didn't know English and had an English speaking neighbor fill the form for him/her, they'd be ticking the second box.
Fill part 2 about your information
Get the sponsor to fill part 3 , part 5, sign and fill the contact info as asked and then send it to you.
Fill part 4 and the page before asking for Beneficiary's signing that they understood the corresponding statement .

Part 6 and 7 is if you use an interpreter or someone else( I guess none in your case).

Check for any blank parts and see if they should have been filled.

Then make sure you have the appropriate documents in hand, proving the statements made in the form.

P.S. The information cones from my own experience of filling it. I recommend BritSimon's video uploaded days ago explaining it. Maybe I missed something.

Riga is a very small embassy. They also accept a handful Russians then stopped, then accepted a dozen for August. It's very easy for them to get overwhelmed.

Yep, I just checked the numbers. Historically they’ve issued around 150-190 visas annually in a normal pre covid year. So those dozen august cases alone (i presume there are others) would have been a normal month’s capacity before. Hopefully they’ve been able to add more staff to help deal with this.

If you have a baby between when you get issued your visas and when you enter the US, you do not need a separate visa for the baby. You will need a full birth certificate and passport for the baby, and the baby will also be processed for a green card on arrival. If you come from a country that normally needs visas, you can ask your embassy to issue what is called a transportation letter so that the airline knows it is allowed to board the baby for the flight. You can discuss all this with the CO in the interview too.

Thank you very much for your response SusieQQQ

My parents were selected for DV22. They're in their early 60's and maybe $600-800k in net worth ($300k bank accounts + $300-500k real estate). I'm in the US on H1b, earn a good income, and have ~$400k saved (bank accounts + investments).

We were wondering if they would need a US citizen / permanent resident sponsor, or if it's fine if I fill out their I-134 form (and check the "NonImmigrant" box in Part 3) despite the nonimmigrant status. Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated.

what is 2NL?

 

[Butters]

what is 2NL?

1NL: Your first notification of selection on dvprogram.state.gov
2NL: When scheduled, another letter with your interview details replaces the 1NL on that website

Hello everyone.

I’ve entered the US on Friday by flying in to Chicago, and everything went really smoothly.

I gave the officer my passport, my sealed immigrant package and the Customs and Border Protection form they ask you to fill in at the airport.
The officer took my picture (they did so for everyone, regardless of Nationality or visa status), took four of my fingerprints, checked my passport and opened my immigrant package to read through every page of it. He checked a couple of things on his computer and asked if the address in my file was still the correct address or if I wanted to update it. He also asked if I had anything else to declare besides what I had already filled in on the Customs form, and then stamped my immigrant package, my passport, and customs form and let me through.

So here I am, officially a legal permanent resident now! On my way to my final destination now, and starting work in a week.

Thanks a lot to everyone here for all the help and shared experience. It has been a tremendous help all along the process!

No. Filing it online is only for a program specific to Ukrainians. Ignore that part for your case.
Simply complete it along with the sponsor/host(whatever the person is called). Print the completed form and along with the supporting documents take it to the interview.

P.S. BritSimon uploaded a new video helping how to complete it.

P.S.2 I haven't done it before either. I just completed mine. I'm taking it along with W2/1040, payslips of my sponsor and photo ID to my interview next month.

Oh, its working. I think I tried without logging in. Thank you once again, I found Mr. Simon's video. It is very useful. Some crucial points got cleared.

I had my interview on may 5th, but they requested DS5535 and I submitted it on may 7th.

on Jun. 7th I sent the embassy an email but they haven't reply to my email ( but they previously replied with the DS5535 and when I asked if they received my DS-5535 form ), should I be worried that they haven't replied to my email for 2 weeks now?

and the embassy should reply with refusal or acceptance before the end fiscal year right? or they might leave me hanging ?
is there anything I can do to my administrative processing? Or I just need to wait it out?


Sorry for keep asking the same question, but I am really anxious and on my nerve waiting for their reply.

DS5535s typically take a number of weeks to months to process. Quite possibly the embassy simply hasn’t replied to your latest email because there’s no update to give you. There is nothing you can do but wait while the required checks are carried out.

And is it required for embassies to reply to all cases that are currently AP before the end of this fiscal year ?

What do you mean by “required to reply”? If AP is not finished by 30 Sept, the case will be denied because it has run out of time.

I mean before sept 30, will all embassies send an update to all AP cases ? Are they required to update ( by email or call ) before the end of this fiscal year ?

They will update if/when there is something to update you with.

Hello people,
Are DV-2022 visas usually printed in USA then mailed to different country embassies or every embassy printing visas on site?

Thank you

Printed in embassy/consulate. However, some electronic stuff and communications between DC before issuing it.

Hey, unfortunately there’s no formal acknowledgement that they will prioritize or expedite DV administrative processing so they meet the deadline. It’s sad, I know.
