DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

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!

plenty of reasons

In my case, i discovered that the list of countries travelled to is blank and even the YES & NO options are blank - while you can't submit the DS-260 with missing sections. So I'm sure we've filled this section, they mess up, and we have to unlock
Also, after submission, i have to travel to a country not mentioned on the list, so got to update it to be on the safe side

People can have children, finish their education, change jobs, etc...

Or they can make mistakes and need to correct it. So i'm not surprised that so many want to unlock it!

In my understanding, it's safer to unlock the DS-260 and fix it now, rather than being put on AP later on and the time may be running out? i might be mistaken though?
 
Hello how you doing all!( am dv22 selected)
I have got difficulty to access my ds260 these days. It says wrong case information repeatedly. Do you guys face the same experience?
 
Hello everyone.
Does anybody know what happens if they don't unlock the DS-260? I've sent them two Emails by now and got no response yet.

1. You need patience. KCC is trying to get DV21 applicants through the process at present. You guys all have plenty of time.
2. “Worst case” you take the new documents to /give the officer the correct details at the interview. Just like we used to do in the old days when you mailed in a paper copy and that was it.
 
Is it Mandatory for you to receive an email from KCC after submission of DS 260? Do they send you the email immediately after submission, or it takes a while for them to acknowledge your ds 260 before emailing you? I’m a dv 2022 selectee
thank you

Nope, would not happen. Possibly from consulate if they want to confirm hosting, but not from kcc.

KCC is admin. It is not their job to check stuff like this.
PS kcc probably hasn’t even looked at half or more the 2022 DSs submitted yet. This story is very fishy in many ways. Hope they did not give details over the phone to whoever called them.

If you want to receive confirmation page via email, that your DS260 is successfully submitted, you should request that.
After you sign the form, if offers you ways to receive the confirmation page, you can directly print it out/save pdf, or it can be sent to your email, if that's what you mean.

If you mean when they confirm whether your DS is processed or not, they won't send you such email, you will receive only documents required email, and confirmation that documents are ok.

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.

Hello, here is where I am getting confused.
From your answer to some user (and from other answers to DV2022 selectee), it appears that the timeline to submit the DS260 is critical for adjudication (or it establishes some sort of an order for processing).
I also read that some selectee for 2022 have already submitted the documentation, even if the number is quite high (2022EU19000).

From Britsimon and also from this forum, instead, I get that if you have an high number, you can take your time and that actually, you cannot submit documentation if your number won't be current in the next couple of months.

I am confused and I need some help.
I am 2022EU16xxx.
1) Does submitting the DS260 now or later (say a month or two) will make any difference at all in my chances? From previous answers from Sm1smom, seems not.
2) From the 1NL letter, I waited, so to understand the process. I did not submit documentation, as I was planning to do it in a couple of months, considering that my case number, at best, won't be current until January, at least. Was this a mistake? Did I already jeopardized my chances?

Thank you

You seem to be implying that I told you to do something “in the next couple of months” or “a month or two”. I did not. And at no point did I (or anyone else I am aware of) say that submitting DS is crucial for adjudication timing in a general sense, except in two very specific circumstances: if you have a very low case number and want an interview as early as possible, or when you run the risk of submitting it too late to get processed in time for an interview before the end of the fiscal year. If you submit your DS260 in June next year, as you indicated and what I responded to, then you will fall into the latter category of too late for processing. So yes, in that specific instance it matters.

1. At no point did I say a month or two at this point makes any difference. I merely suggested getting the legalities of the marriage done so that it would not be too late when you do submit. June will almost certainly be too late.
2. Please be consistent. Here you are talking about submitting documents “in a couple of months”. The post I responded to was talking about submitting in June. Don’t get all het up at me when I answer what you actually ask (I quoted your prior post below), but you now claim to be planning something else.

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

By the way I do not believe anyone has said anywhere “actually, you cannot submit documentation if your number won't be current in the next couple of months.” This makes no sense, seeing as interview notices are sent out a couple of months ahead and won’t be sent out if documents have not all been processed.
