DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hi, I am a derivative and my wife is the principal applicant. I am not able to attend the interview but she will go ahead with it for her.

In the I134, should I be listed as a dependent? Will it have an impact later on when we try to get the green card under her sponsorship?

In the I-134, do DV winners have an alien number or should we leave it blank?

TIA.

1. She can still list you as her dependent on the I-134.
2. Leave it blank, you have no A#

well, it’s not going to be a DV derivative any more if the fiscal year is over, you will be applying for someone as a spouse or child of LPR. The Form is i130. If you have a spouse and minor children, you can file one form for the spouse and the minor children (under 21) can be derivatives of the spouse. If it is only children you’ll need a separate form for each child. The category is F2A and you file form I130. The filing fee is $535, and then in due course you will have to pay fees at NVC and for the embassy interview, I believe at present those fees amount to a little over $600, but those only get paid after USCIS approves the petition- normally will take a couple of years. Form and instructions are here https://www.uscis.gov/i-130 and a fuller explanation of the family filing process is here https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...nt-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html - between these two links all your questions should be answered.

(Note that a LPR can also file an F2B petition for a child over 21 as long as that child is unmarried, but that’s a longer wait, 6-7 years,)
Thank you so much for this valuable information. Is there a difference between F2A and F2B? Can I file for my child who is over 21 now when my DV visa turns to LPR straight or do I have to get a job first? Can't I file showing any liquidized finances? Thanks once again for these guidance and information.

Pretty sure the lawyer had nothing to do with the person you know getting their visa, consulates actually fall outside the US legal system for visa approvals/refusals. Coincident timing. Unless your refusal language has changed from what you posted last and unless you have your passport with no visa back from the embassy I don’t know why the lawyer would say that, anyway glad you have not wasted money on one. I am hoping your case gets resolved, as far as I know they have not run out of visas, even if they have they preallocated all of them just need one visa number from another no show or refusal at your embassy to give you yours. Crossing fingers for you.

Echoing what Susie said above re the lawyer and the approved AP case. The lawyer played absolutely no role in getting those approved, it was nothing but coincidence. And in terms of what the lawyer said about your case, he’s basically hazarding a guess on your being denied on public charge grounds based on the 5540 Public Charge form you were asked to fill and send back to the embassy back in May.

Thanks for guidance. I will do so, I forgot it for an instance. Since there were so many forums, forgetfully posted in the familiar forum. Sorry.
 
Hi everyone. Me again, with some additional question regarding the REP form ( form I-131).

Part 1

3. I take it that we don't have an alien number so we can leave that field blank?
6. What would be our class of admission?

Part 3

1. Date of departure? I guess this would be our return flight back to Germany?
2. How many days we intend to stay? Do we put 2 years?
6. I guess we need to opt for 2(8) as to where to get the notification (US address only)?

Part 4

1.b List the countries you plan to visit. I guess just Germany?

Sorry if some of these are fairly obvious, but we're spending a lot of time and money and effort to get this done and we don't want our REP to be denied for something that could've easily been avoided. Thanks in advance.

You do have an alien number. It’s on your immigrant visa and will be on your green card. You used it to pay the green card fee.

Class of admission, i presume immigrant or 551 or something similar is an option?

i don’t know what 2(8) is or what notification you mean (i hope you don’t expect us to all go find the document and open it and examine it to find a particular question number) but i assume you are aware you can get the permits sent to your closest consulate, if it’s that.

Rest obviously depends on what your plans are.

DV2022? Yes, most likely too late considering KCC is already scheduling Nov interviews for DV2023 selectees.

That's right, 2022.

I was under impression that they go number by number for selecting people for the interview. and I know someone with higher number that got the interview/visa.

At the same embassy you would have been at? There have been capacity constraints at certain embassies as they are still catching up from the covid closures. I had a quick look at the Yerevan statistics and it looks like there were very low interview numbers until April, and it seems they have been trying to play catch up since. Unfortunately it seems there are a number of people who just did not get allocated interviews this year. You might try emailing KCC but unfortunately at this stage it is likely that all remaining interview appointments for the fiscal year are taken, though it’s possible there may have been a cancellation.

Understood, thank you!

>> I had a quick look at the Yerevan statistics

Is this available anywhere? Can I take a look too?

Even with cancelations, they probably won't have time to schedule the interview with only 3 weeks left.
