DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

I’m sorry to learn you got your passport back without the IV as your AP clearance could not be completed but Sept. 30th. Unfortunately, there’s nothing else you can do about this DV selection or the subsequent denial. The time it takes one or several other folks to their AP is not a yardstick for measuring when a person’s specific AP may or will clear. Each case is specific and different.

This denial on its own cannot be used as a blanket denial for future US visa applications. But the AP you’ve been subjected to will definitely get factored into any future visa application you make - they will initiate a new background check for future visa applications which will need to be cleared before the visa can be issued.

In general, I do not see you being issued with a NIV in the near future due to the immigrant intent you’ve already demonstrated and the prolonged AP you will be subjected to.

I understand.
I want say Thanks to you and SusieQQQ.You have answered all my questions during this time I appreciate all your helps. I wish you all the best.Thanks
 
Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question.
So, I did "activate" the green card earlier this month and came back outside the US.
My so called host has recieved the Social security number letter providing my ssn number.
I have to register for the selective service registration by summer of next year.
There are two challenges.

1) When I wanna register online, it says that my ssn isn't in their systems. So, I have to send them the physical form. Can I post it from my current country whilst indicating the mailing/residential address in the form as my US one. The post from my current country to the US isn't much. I wanna know if a) it's possible and b) if it could cause any problems. It's more convenient to mail it directly to them rather than send it to my host and him to mail it.

2) My name is too long. The character limit on the Social security card is 26 characters as I researched. So, imagine my name being ABC...XYZẞ but it's written as ABC...XYZ on the Social security card.
a) What should I write on the selective service registration form? The name on the card or my actual name? My real name does fit there.
(Unrelated) b) Does this mean that my name isn't registered properly with the Social security system? What happens when I ever gonna register anything using my ssn, do I also need to use the shortened name or my actual name?

I too am sorry to hear this story since we all were in a same forum this long. Hope he would have luck next time.
Still, I have one question. May I know the meaning of the last two lines of the above answer, if you don't mind? It is my understanding that once a DS260 submitted all the future NIV issuance will be problematic? Thanks

No, it depends on the individual circumstances. Example someone has a good job, owns home, family in home country etc, they have almost no reason to overstay or otherwise violate the terms of a tourist visa. On the other hand someone with no real ties to their home country would probably face problems getting a tourist visa (even without a ds260 in the past )

In genera, a NIV applicant is presumed to be harboring an immigrant intent, hence the need for such an applicant to demonstrate a strong tie to their home country in order to convince the CO of their intention to return back home. Someone who has already demonstrated an immigrant intent on the other hand will need to convince the CO the previously demonstrated immigrant intent no longer exists, which may be a lot harder for some to do.

Thank you, now I understand.
 
Hello Everyone here
I have a few questions to put accross

1 As an LPR applying for my son, does any deviation from my DV details affect my application for family based visa application for my child .? I mean I made a change of name for my 5year child and I'm wondering whether petitioning for him with changed names will delay my application

2 Does any additional information submitted during my interview as asked by the consular become part of my DS 260 details.

Thanks
 
Hi guys, could someone describe how's the process at the Port of Entry when you enter for the first time? What are the typical questions they ask and how should I be prepared?
Thank you!
 
Hello guys I am one of the unfortunate winners of dv2022 who was denied an interview. I'm a Ghanaian. I came to the United States on a B1 visa few weeks ago and want to know if I can join a lawsuit here to still fight for an interview for my case before I leave back home after my vacation?

DV2022 is over. There are no pending lawsuits or new lawsuits that can be initiated considering total number of visas issued were way above the number that ought to have been issued by law.

1. Your question isn’t quite clear to me. If you’re petitioning your child, you have no choice but to use their official name (if the name has been formally changed) regardless.

2. The information submitted on your DS260, during, and after your interview becomes part of your immigration files which may be referenced at any point in time going forward.

1. You have no choice but to apply with the current legal name and disclose prior names and evidence of legal name change. More complex biographic information doesn’t necessarily mean any meaningful delay, everyone’s case is different. What I can say is that if you don’t disclose other legal names you may deal with more than a ‘delay.’

2. It’s all a part of the record, and could affect you and your family’s immigration journey. It’s always best to keep it simple and tell the truth - the way you’re phrasing it sounds like you want to misrepresent your situation if it can help your immigration application. I hope I’m wrong!

I’m sorry you’re in this situation, it’s not fair you waited so long only to have Accra fumble in the end. Unfortunately, by law no DV22 visas can be issued now, and no DV22 visas were reserved for continued litigation. I hope you enjoy your trip and good luck in your future entries - I’ve heard Accra is starting to resume normal operations.
 
Hello every one,
I have a quick one to put accross, apologies if this is not the right thread.!

1 While I'm filling for my son and spouse, do I include them on a similar form i130 or it's supposed to be two different forms for 2 people.

2 Is it quicker to submit form i130 online or by mail.?

1. Only one form I-130 is required (for the spouse as the principal beneficiary and the child as a derivative beneficiary).
2. Online submission is obviously quicker as the submitted form is received as soon as you hit the submit button. You get the submission confirmation and NOA faster. It however doesn’t mean the overall processing will be quicker.
 
Hello all, hope everyone is doing well. I've entered the US Oct. 20 2022 with my lottery visa. Still waiting for my SSN nr. I checked the box on the application form but still nothing. Could someone one advice me what to do? Usually it takes 7-10 business days I thought..

Are you still in the US? You can go to the SSA office.
