Hi,
Thanks for the reply . So you mean we have to submit the documents (Photo, diploma, birth certificate, etc ... ) to KCC even before we receive interview email from them ?

Thanks for the reply . So you mean we have to submit the documents (Photo, diploma, birth certificate, etc ... ) to KCC even before we receive interview email from them ?
This is the message after submitting DS-260, where does it ask to send copies to KCC ?

Yes. Again, please make sure you read all the instructions linked from your selection letter. They clearly say Your interview will not be scheduled until you submit scanned copies of all required supporting documents, following the guidelines below and Your visa interview appointment will not be scheduled until KCC has received and reviewed all required supporting documents.

Please read the instructions linked from your selection letter! I gave you the link to the relevant page above but you should already have found those yourself and read them as well as all the other pages pertaining to how to complete the process.
Thanks for the reply . Yes I read that but it says you will receive instructions for how to submit required supporting documents, and I have not received any instruction yet . Should I wait for their email / instructions ?

Definitely a bug - please let KCC know - I did. The more people let them know the quicker they can check it out. I have submitted and are now waiting fir them to unlock.

hi, do you know if the police check has to be with a fingerprint check on there too, or is it ok to leave the fingerprints out? thanks.

KCC will send you an email asking to submit required documents. However you can send the documents in advance as well, there is no harm. Read Britsimon's blog as advised.

Read country specific instructions about where and how to get police certificates:
U.S. Visa: Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country
Normally there is no fingerprint check.

Hay, I am DV program winner 2022, I submit my DS269 form more than one month ago, I am an Iranian living in the EU, I wrote down my 5 years of work experience in Europe but I did not write anything about older jobs that I had in Iran, because I had worked in the several companies as a marketer for very short times like a month's or two months with no proof, because they did not hire me officially, there were black jobs,(it's totally normal in Iran),I am also a theater actress and every year I had at least one performance but working individually,and it was like one month in each year
1) should I mention them in my DS 260?
2)should I write about my theater experience in DS 260?
I only write my official jobs during the past 5 years, should I unlock the form??

I sent this mail:
Hello Sir/Madam,
Firstly, I am very appreciated for being one of the winner for green card lottery and I was very excited. Because of my excitement, l noticed I made wrongly a format error (month/day, day/ month) while I was logging in my birth date to the DS-260 form also I entered my surname wrong by mistakenly because I have two surnames. Since I made these mistakes more than once I got error ''The Case Number entered is currently unavailable. Please try again later or contact the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) by email ) or by phone (Public Inquiry Phone Number 606 -526-7500 7:30 am to 4:00 pm EDT Monday - Friday) for further assistance.'' I cannot login to fill in the Ds-260 form. Could you help me please?
KCC answers that:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Your answers on the DS-260 application should be as accurate as possible in order to minimize the potential for confusion and delay in your case. Once submitted, a DS-260 cannot be deleted or removed. If there is an error in your DS-260 application form or if you need to make changes, the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) can unlock the form for you so that you can make any changes required. If you would like us to unlock one or more forms in your case, please reply to this address, including your case number, date of birth (MMDDYYYY) and the names of the applicants whose forms you would like us to unlock, and an explanation as to why you need the DS-260 unlocked.
Once unlocked, if you would like for KCC to process your application, you must resubmit it. A DS-260 will not continue processing unless it is re-submitted. Unlocking an application is the only way to make changes, or to prevent a form from being processed.
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant's full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
What can i do know? It does not solve my problem

@amirmas were you trying to reply? Did you scroll down the page to the parts which deal with the civil documents (which are only required for immigrant visas)? Some countries do require fingerprints for a police check. You need to check the requirements for your country as per the reciprocity page. These pages are also linked to from the pages for DV selectees by the way. I suspect you only looked at the top of the page and did not scroll down.
When did you send this email to KCC, and when did they reply asking cuz I sent them an email and they haven't replied

Hello,
I have a case number EU 16xxx for DV lottery 2022.
Currently I live in the USA under a non immigrant visa and I am considering to go through the AOS process.
I still have to submit the DS260, though. From previous years, I believe that my number won't probably be current until begin of 2022.
So, from this site and also from BritSimon, I've got that, unless your number is very low, you can wait prior submitting the DS260.
Is there a problem to delay the DS260 submittal until September, so I can travel overseas to visit my country and then submit when I get back?
Or shall I submit ASAP to avoid delays? Would this affect my processing timeline at all?
One thing that I did not understood is the following. In case I submit the DS260 prior traveling abroad, shall I request some sort of permission for travel?
Also, since I do not have absolute certainty that my contract will be renewed in 2022 (in such a case I shall return to my country of origin), how "easy" would be to switch to a Consular processing in this case?
What about if I change employer and I relocate temporarily overseas at the end of 2021? Would this impact my chances of obtaining the green card (saved the fact that my prospect new employer would allow me to remote work from the USA, after obtaining the GC)?
Thank you

Regarding civil documents. I need 3 police clearances for my file:
Home country - already acquired
country A - i am exempt
country B (current one) - not available to have it before an interview is set
In the state.gov site it says:
"If you cannot obtain a particular document, send an explanation of why you cannot obtain the document, as an attachment in .jpeg or .pdf format, to KCCDVDocuments@state.gov, with your case number in the subject line. "
Now, for the exempt PCC - should i create a document and write in it that i'm exempt based on the reciprocity guidelines, or don't submit anything as the officer reviewing the case would know i'm not required to present one.
Lastly for an explanation letter for the last PCC, should it be sent in a separate email, or include it in the same email that contains all the documents?
Thanks

I found out today that I was randomly selected for DV-2022. I have had a girlfriend for five years now, and without her, it wouldn't make sense for me to move to another country. But we're not married, and I haven't even proposed to her yet. I have read that it is advisable to marry your fiancée before you fill out the DS-260 form. But when is the last date that makes sense to fill out that form? If I marry my girlfriend in June 2022 (when she finishes her Master's) and fill out the form then, isn't it too late? Isn't there a risk of losing my DV-2022? My Case Number is 2022EU000050XX
Hi, if you wait till June 2022 to fill the DS-260, you will lose your chance. You can find plenty of information about the process on britsimonsays.com.

Hi everyone!
I won the DV-2022 and already submitted my DS260 and documents. My number is EU00019xxx.
I'm an architect with a master's degree in architecture and I work in graphic design now (no diploma required).
I listed all my work experience, less than 1 year officially in graphic design and more than 5 years in architecture.
Will I be able to work as a graphic designer in USA? Or do I have to work as an architect?
They asked what I would like to work as in USA and I said graphic design, is that a base for disqualifying me, since I don't have formal 2 years experience in GD? (although informal yes, through freelancing platforms for over 5 years, but I haven't been formally employed).
Thank you!

The CO does not qualify or disqualify you based on what you say in the form about work. You meet the education requirements, correct? That’s what matters. What you can work in in the US depends on what the employers want and (in cases of professions like architecture beinh licensed in the US state you want to practice).
