Change of address form AR11, the one you screenshotted, is only for those already resident in the US.
I don’t understand the question about a vacation. Help what?

Sorry I was responding to your reply to me asking if I was already in the US.
I think you may have meant to reply to el_mouhamady_officiel instead of myself (I didn't post a screenshot).

If there's any advice on how to get more clarity about or speed up next step after DS-260.
I'm just worried that I'll run out of time and will continue to be in limbo with regards to planning relocation.
Thanks again


Hi,
I'm hoping I could get some advice as I'm in a bit of a panic as I still haven't heard back from the KCC since I submitted the DS260.
I'm in Oceania (Australia) with a high case number - 23XX.
In the DS260 all applicants have the status of Completed.
The DS260 was submitted in July 2021.
The CEAC website still show's my case is still with KCC.
I have not yet received an email regarding next steps and I'm unsure if I'm missing a step?
The Visa Bulletin showed Oceania as "Current" just last month (June 2022)
I haven't sent any documents (police check etc) as I understood those instructions come with the email that follows the DS-260 processing.
I can see in the DV 2022 CP Timeline Tracker spreadsheet, there is a column called "Documents Sent Date (Non-KCC Requested)". Sorry I couldn't find what this is about. Could this help / Could this be why I have not heard anything?
I have emailed KCC twice now and all they say is that my DS260 has been received for processing and to read the website for next steps.
Should I be worried that I may have run out of time? I'm assuming the document submission processing and consulate appointment could take several weeks/months?

Thank you !
 
@Britsimon Hey Simon, what is your thought on staying in Sydney or transferring to Kathmandu or Fiji considering Kathmandu just gave 980 2nl. My case is current and I am from Nepal in sydney. Thanks

I think Sydney is up to case OC2115 so you should get your notification for an interview in Sydney for a September interview after the next visa bulletin between July 15th-30th. (If Sydney accepts more cases). When you email KCC you should be receiving a response saying “Your case number is now current for interview processing.” Which means your DS260 is processed and your ready for scheduling.

I would either stay with Sydney or transfer to Suva. You probably have more chance at Suva but could easily get scheduled at Sydney which would be your cheapest easiest option. Nepal would be the riskiest I would say considering they sent so many for one month maybe they won’t send as many for September. What’s your case number?

Hey guys, I've been reading this thread since the beginning, but never posted. First of all I would like to thank you for the helpful tips.

I have an appointment with the Panel Physician in Frankfunrt on July 13th, which I cannot attend. If anyone would like this date contact me and we'll see if we can do something.

Cheers

Did you already cancel?
If no: I would gladly like to take it as I have an appointment on the same day in Frankfurt but I also need one for my husband.

Booking appointments is really a mess in Germany. But I refreshed the Berlin and Frankfurt doctolib constantly and could book one today for Frankfurt und one for Berlin for my husband on the 30th of August. Even though I would prefer if we could go together, as we are one case.

But just try it on and in on and you will probably find a slot! @LE reve american

yes, this morning.
 
Hi, I have a question for the interview / for entering the US for the first time. I don’t know anyone in the US.

If I still don’t know where exactly my location for green card delivery should be during the interview, what should I tell them/where should I tell them to deliver it?

Will I get another chance to tell them where to deliver it once I’m at the border?

Can I get a PO Box for the green card delivery?

Thanks!
 
Also, is it true that when I enter the USA for the first time, I will get a temporary I-551 stamp and visa sticker that is valid for travel in-out of USA for 1 year, so that in that time I won’t need my physical green card to travel?

Thanks!

Hello
I have a question about visa denials grounds.
Because my prior staying in US 5 month with tourist b1b2 visa, as dv lottery winner which visa denial ground (section) consular might apply to my case?
I have checked travel state gov i could not find.
Can consular refused case completely with 221g or it is meaning only AP?and after Ap completed consular will apply other visa denial ground?
Thanks
 
Hi, Brit!
I am 2022 lottery winner, entered US on late May. My GC hasn’t arrived yet, I have a receipt number tho. DV visa in my passport expired on June 28th.
Am I allowed to travel outside US for a couple of days and get back on same DV visa? It has immigration officer signature on it, signed when I entered. Thank you for your answer. @Britsimon

The Form Number used for an address change on a USCIS Immigrant Fee payment is “IVF” or “OS155A”. /It's in the notes above/. The sub type will be filled automatically. The Receipt Number is on the USCIS Fee confirmation receipt and it's link to the Alien number for each person. It contains combination of letters and numbers, 13 in total.

I don’t understand the question, 5 months stay is usually allowed on a B visa. Did you overstay by 5 months?

The visa actually expires the second it gets stamped by the CBP officer on entry, it is not a multiple entry visa. However, the magical words printed at the bottom of the visa turn it into a temporary green card valid for one year from the date of stamping, and you can use it for any US purpose you need a green card for.

You asked a similar question about a month ago, June 9th to be precise. My response back then still applies.

No i did not i left US before allowed stay time .it was 4 years ago.
All my documents as dv lottery winner applicant is ok ( high school,police certificate,bank account, and others) but my case still AP
I think consular put my case hold (AP) it is already 4 month because my prior stay time in US.
My question because i stay in US with b1 visa 5 month can be reason denial?
Thanks
