DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hi everyone.

My case number is EU26XXX, my embassy is TIRANA, ALBANIA, and my case is still at NVC as of today, I checked the data published recently by the lawsuit, and apparently there are 500 people queued before me in my selected embassy, is there anything in my power that I can do to have a chance of being interviewed?

Also, someone with a lower case number than me was scheduled but I didn't, same embassy, what could be the reason for that?

Oh and, is it realistic for my embassy to interview me after 500 people in just 2 months or less?

I don't mind if I don't get my visa, I've made peace with it and I'm quite fine where I am, whatever happens happens, but it would be nice to know the outcome lol

Hi all! Me again!

Has anyone had experience with removing someone and their DS260 off your case at an interview? And not prior?

Long story short I selected single on my DS260 as my partner (defacto) and I aren’t legally married, but when I saw there was an option to add a spouses DS260 onto my case I did. Since then my lawyer has explained the USA dont accept defacto as a “spouse” and that unless we were married then he wouldn’t be able to join my visa. So I emailed KCC immediately (this was months ago now) and my number was current so they told me to email my embassy (SYD) that I’m interviewing at to get my DS260 unlocked and they were super unhelpful and didn’t understand the situation. Basically just kept emailing with excerpts from the website that i’d already read. When I confirmed my interview I explained again and explained I would be coming alone and needed his DS260 attached to my file to be removed and they just replied with “Thankyou see you at your interview”

The good news is my DS260 is technically correct because I’ve selected single but I’m worried I’ll get to my interview and they’ll deny me as I made the error of adding a spouse.

Any advice appreciated <3 xx

They do not remove the DS260 form once it has been added or created. You will just have to explain yourself when you get to your interview.

The obvious question here is why you don’t get married seeing as you clearly have a genuine relationship and your partner is apparently prepared to move with you?

We contemplated this but we’re worried that because I selected single in my DS260 that it will be seen as an error. My interview is on august 17 so technically we could get married beforehand however my embassy has said they can’t unlock my DS260 to change the status to married. Also worried the embassy might ask why we got married so soon before my interview. Any info would be appreciated thanks so much!

There's no problem about getting married after being selected, we've done that and just updating ds260 was enough.

Nearly the same here at Frankfurt.
I also have a low 26xxx. Many cases got scheduled with around and even higher numbers then mine.
Also KCC responded that my case is now at Frankfurt (~1 month ago). But I am still not DQed.

If there was anything I could to to make it possible, I'd do it...

Don't worry homie. Frankfurt seems to have picked up for the last two months. They did 500 for August. Their queue has 300 or so. They may very well schedule them for September.

Yes but my embassy won’t let me open my DS260 to change my status. Do you know if I can do this in my interview?

yes but then your future husband can’t attend the interview with you. He needs to have his own ds260, medical (and other documents) and interview to get a visa. You can ask them in the interview, assuming you are successful, if they can get one scheduled for him before fiscal year end - as they already have the case they would do that directly and don’t need to go through KCC again.

OP already filled and submitted the DS260 form for the partner when they submitted theirs, even though they listed their marital status as single because they’re in a defacto relationship. They just need to complete the medical exam (we’ll get married first at this point), and gather the partner’s applicable documents.

It’s not clear to me whether the not quite spouse is on the interview letter?

AFAIK, the IL does not come with the names of derivatives not included on the original eDV entry, so OP's IL wouldn't include the spouse's name even though a DS260 was submitted for them.

So he’d still need an interview set up?

I don't think so, since the embassy would have received the DS260 with the primary selectee's. AFAIK, when a selectee uses the add button to include a new derivative by creating a new DS260 form, the new derivative (who was not previously included on the eDV entry) automatically gets scheduled for an interview with the principal selectee even though their name does not show up on the IL.
 
Hi All,

I have a question regarding the proof of financial resources at the interview.

We are two adults (29 and 33) and currently have a total of 25k USD in our bank accounts + 15k USD in stocks.

The only thing that I am nervous about is my student debt of 25k USD, which I am allowed to pay back at really low rates over a long time, if I would need to.

1. Do I need to be transparent about the student debt? Do I need to point it out?
2. If I need to be transparent: Will the loan be theoretically deducted of our resources ( 40k - 25k = 15k) Because then, our funds could be seen as insufficient

Thanks in advance!

They typically do not about debts. But if they ask you, you obviously have to be transparent and truthfully answer the question.

Hi,
I appreciate to let me know who I can check the data published by the lawsuit and find out how many people queued before me in ANKARA-TURKEY Embassy (My Case AS12XXX).
