DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hello
My partner has in the past traveled to a country for less than a week
Does she have to provide a police certificate for this country to the kcc?
Thank you
 
While that's what instructions say, it's recommended to get police certificate from the country where you lived for ~6 months and more, to be on the safe side.

Please ensure you read all the instructions linked from the selection letter. The answer to this is very clear if you do. If you do not read the instructions properly there may be something else you miss that you do not ask about or get corrected here (like not taking a required document to the interview because it wasn’t on the KCC list of what they need).

I appreciate that

I noticed you keep using the term your “partner”. I hope you realize if you’re not legally married to this “partner”, he or she cannot benefit from your selection as a derivative.

Hello
I am here again with another important question. Let’s say I want to make a very important change to some information on my DS 260. I made an error on the side of my education and I want to make a change and my interview is already scheduled.
Is it possible to make the changes at the embassy before interview? Would I need to use the computers available there or how does it work. Someone please explain. Kcc has not responded to my unlock request it’s been 3 weeks now. I’m a dv 2022 selectee

I am also waiting for them to unlock, one of the pages did not save information! We just have to be patient. Please let us know when KCC unlock your ds-260
 
My case # is 2022AF26xx. How likely is it to be called for an interview in October? Very likely, likely or unlikely?

Selectee numbers have not yet been released so very difficult to say just for October. Very highly likely to be sometime between oct-dec based on historical trends. anyway it’s just a few weeks till we get the advance notice of October interviews.
 
Hi there, was selected in the dv and had questions regarding AOS and CP. I am currently waiting for my student visa interview for the graduate study offer I got this April. My initial thought was to start my research studies in early October, wait till January (to be safe with the 90-days rule) and later process AOS (my number was about December based on past history records). The reason I prefer AOS is because if CP is denied, I would not be able to return to US for my research.
However, I just noticed that having a preconceived intent would be a big factor of a AOS denial, and could later cause bad consequences such as may never be able to immigrate. Though I was suggested to disclose the DV selection and my first priority NIV intent is to study and finish my research (being truthful) in the student visa interview to prevent considered fraud or misrepresentation in the future (don't know if that could really work), but knowing the selection early in May -> enter the States with a NIV -> proceed AOS months afterward would sure cause huge suspicions that one have a preconceived intent of AOS. Selected for the DV and accepted to this college are both considered once in a life time opportunity to me. I feel frustrated because it seems that I might could just go with one.
My AOS question is whether there are ways to reduce my risk of AOS being denied for having preconceived intent? Any obviously examples of what a fraud and misrepresentation might be (from the contents I saw, this is very subjective)? My CP question is, if changing to CP a better and safer approach? Would CP also cause the same issues like AOS such as preconceived intend or dual intend fraud and misrepresentation issues?

1. Decide if starting your graduate study (as an international student) in the falls matters more to you than anything else. If yes, focus on getting the student visa first in that case. Be prepared to truthfully disclose your DV selection during the NIV interview if asked, no point in trying to be evasive or lying about the selection if it comes up, the CO will already be aware of your selectee.
2. If granted the NIV, enter the US and begin your studies as planned. You can then decide on how you wish to proceed with your DV selection, and subsequently begin to take the appropriate steps towards that at that point. If you’ve already decided the option you wish to proceed with is AOS while you’re still out there (outside the US), you need to be aware entering the US with the preconceived intent of processing AOS is frowned upon, it could be deemed a fraudulent attempt at obtaining an immigration benefit in that case. Unless of course if you disclose that preconceived AOS intent at your visa interview or at the POE. Obviously such a disclosure will lead to a visa denial or entry denial.
 
hi,
It's been a month that I've sent a request to KCC for unlocking my DS260, but I have received no reply yet...
Should I send a reminder or send another unlock request?
 
There was a question in DS 260under education
Degree/Diploma?
For High School education, I stated as neither degree nor diploma, but "General Certificate of A/Level", that's the exam we had at the end of high school and get grades - Which is the requirement of local embassy to prove the completion of High school. (Stated in Local US Embassy Website)

As in my country "Diploma" is known to be a level of qualification below degree level in my country.

But later I got to know that, in USA, term "Diploma" is meant to be any certification,
So Do I need to change it by unlocking my Ds 260? (I mean is there any chance KCC will refuse to process my application)
