DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

FromTheBeginning said:
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

You may want to consider doing a court marriage earlier and leaving the wedding celebrations for after she graduates. You will almost certainly not have time to complete DV if you submit your DS so late.

Ok, so a diploma should be enough proof for the interview, and then I can work in whatever I can find in the US, either graphic design or architecture, right?
Thank you!

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

1. No problem with waiting until September to submit the DS260.
2. You don't need permission to travel outside the US after submitting the DS260.
3. You will need to contact KCC and request they unlock your DS260 following which you'll update your address and inform KCC you're switching from AOS to CP. Switching is not a problem, but you don't want to leave it too late to inform KCC of the switch as you will need to submit your documents to KCC and KCC will need to complete document processing before scheduling you for a CP interview.
4. Same as 3 above. Not sure about the work remote in the US for a foreign employer part of your question - there are tax implications involved. Anyway, wait until you've completed the process and have become a LPR first before trying to unravel that.

p.s. number your questions if you have more than one in a post.

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

1. In this case, exempt or unavailable should be treated the same way. Document why you are exempt.
2. Include with the document submission email.
 
Hello everyone I hope you are all doing well, I am a 2022 Dv winner, My case number is AS6K, I have submitted my ds-260 in 10th of May and still nobody asked me to submit the documents. I sent unlock request on 11th of June and until today there is no response. The reason why I need to unlock because I have a bachelor degree and I did not enter any other certificate like high school assuming that it is clear I cannot take a university degree without a high school degree. is anyone knows about this please?

1. You need some patience
2. You will not get the document request while DS260 Is unlocked so both your requests cannot be met at the same time.
Just have some patience, KCC is dealing with finishing up DV2021 at present.

PS most universities do in fact have some work around for people who did not finish high school the conventional way, so no it is not a “clear assumption“. The DS260 instructions also say to enter all secondary and higher institutions attended. When your DS260 is reopened, may I suggest you also check all the other answers you’ve provided meet the instructions ... we always seem to see people here with serial unlock requests..better to prevent that.

Do you know how much money do you have to present at the embassy to prove that you will not become a public charge I have a saving account close to 16k $ is this okay?

There’s no set figure. $16k for a young degreed person in a good career field is very different from $16k for a retired person with chronic health issues, for example. They will look at the issue of public charge holistically.
 
I don’t know why almost every one here is unlocking his or her ds260. Is that you didn’t read the instructions before filing out the forms or it was out of joy that made you guys rushed in filing the forms to make mistakes. We are not in normal times so you guys need to minimize the unlocking of your ds260 and get it right once and for all. It will save you a lot of time. Thank you!
 
Hi there,
I have a question concerning address information in DS-260 form. I put in the "present address" section my permanent address where I live since my birth. However in the section that entails that you have to include all addresses in which you lived since turning sixteen, I had to add addresses in which I lived while I was still student. But once I click on save, an error message appears telling me that I have to begin with the address immediately before my current address. Do you know how to solve that problem, please?

So if I understand correctly, you are putting your address with dates from your birth - till present and you are trying to add other dates in between.

You need to make partitions, from this date to that date - here, then in other dates - there, then back to here, hope it makes sense.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. I mentioned in the present address section that I'm living here since my birth; yet, I want to add addresses that I lived in since I turned sixteen -addresses in a city other that the one where my permanent address is situated.
P.s During the period I lived in these addresses, I used to visit my present address regularly since it's my parents house.
Could you clarify your answer, please?
