DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Hi,
I have a brother living in Colorado(on a Green card), I wonder if having him as a sponsor can positively help my DV case or can make the process more complicated?

Thank you for your reply. When listing all the educational institutions attended, won’t I be prompt to put either a degree or diploma as it is in the form.when I list the schools attended from age 12, I guess by then I’ve not taken the public exams but just class exams so can I leave that space blank when it asks for degree or diploma. Then when I come to the class and school where I have the diploma, I can include it. Would that be the right thing to do?

Assuming he makes the required income it will help. The correct form for DV is I134.

Ok well you won’t be scheduled for interview till you submit documents so that will work out for you, when you return you can unlock the DS and change your address back to Ghana before you submit your documents.

I have a m o r t g a g e loan on an apartment, and I have to make monthly payments. If I rent out the apartment, the rent will cover my monthly payment just fine. Is it better not to mention the m o r t g a g e?

It looks like m o r t g a g e is a banned word. I couldn't post this message without putting spaces after each letter of the word.
It kept giving me an error message:

1. They can ask you to provide information/proof of how you know each other.
2. You and the sponsor do not have to reside in the same State.
3. That is okay.

1. Can the sponsor ( who provide I-134), be a friend of my sibling -who lives in USA. but not known to me directly ?

2. if so, do I need to submit any proof? What kind of proof I will be asked for?

1. Ideally, the sponsor should be a family member or a friend with direct knowledge of you. You may be okay with your sibling’s friend if the CO doesn’t query the relationship between you and your sponsor.
2. This may be applicable if the CO decides to query the relationship between you and your sponsor. I can’t tell you precisely what you can present to demonstrate an existing or a non-existing relationship between you and your sponsor, this is something you’ll need to figure out on your own.

Do you mean is it possible to unlock the DS once docs are submitted or do you mean to “unlock” docs to add something? Anyway yes to the first, no to the second, you need to resubmit all docs if you have anything to add or change.
 
Hi..I would like to know…what if I decide to apply for tourist Visa before my j1 visa expired? In ordered to extend and waiting for my interview while I’m in USA… will this affect my Dv?

That isn’t likely to keep you in an AOS eligible status. That change of status will need to be already approved by the time your CN becomes current in order for you to be AOS eligible. You can’t apply for AOS while the change of status application is pending.

You will be applying for a change of status from J to visitor’s, not a tourist visa - you can’t apply for a US visa from within the US. Yes, it will need to be already approved by the time your CN becomes cirrent.

this is not a good idea because (1) it will take months to process the change (and you will not have a status after the J ends while you are awaiting a decision) and more importantly (2) if you choose to change status to B (tourist) status you have to show why you will go home at the end of it. If they decide you have lied about that to keep presence here they can make you leave and cancel any visas, and yes that can affect DV negatively. And if they find you have frivolously filed change of status then any days after your J have expired will be considered unlawful presence. So, it is a really bad idea both logistically and because you will be misrepresenting intent in doing so. Honestly you should be making plans to go home when J expires.
