I was given the opportunity in the ds-260 application at the beginning. Stockholm is a plane ride away from me.

So you submitted the DS with Copenhagen as the location? I don’t understand what “changed”. Anyway.
 
Hi all!
I wanted to say thanks for all the posts and info - this forum has been a lifesaver since I was selected a few days ago (OC4XX).
Thanks especially to @SusieQQQ and @Aidyn for all the really helpful responses!!

I submitted the DS-260 on the weekend and either due to the constant web crashes erasing my work or my forgetfulness, I submitted the form without my most recent trip overseas (to HK, Macau and Bali specifically) which I visited for roughly 7 days all up.
Cautious of the fact I will need to give my travel history to the medical examiner also, I don’t want the records to mismatch.
Wondering your opinions here - should I request to amend my DS-260?

Thanks!
 
Does amending ds 260 cause any problem in the application? As the school system is different in my country I didn’t enter my schooling details and only entered my graduation and post graduation specifics? Will that be a problem?

no problem in unlocking your DS-260 and fixing the details you missed, while you do have a relatively low CN, its only May, first interviews aren't until October (interview letters sent from August VB)

no issues in updating details in your DS260, just enter factual information that is requested on the form. It doesn't matter if that's different from what is on your original entry, there is no cross referencing that kind of data

Hi @Aidyn - thanks so much for your response.
So I should use same ceac.state.gov website to amend my prior submission? I had thought it was locked after submission - or do you mean I should email KCC?
Apologies if these are silly questions. Trying to keep up with everything I read over past few weeks about the process. Information overload ‍

Hello & congratulations to everybody for the win! Let's hope for the best this year :)

I have a question regarding a friend situation. She has won the DV2022 lottery but when she applied she used her passport, which at that time was valid (unexpired), but the name in the passport was her maiden name (the name before she got married). She got married before applying for the DV2022, but didn't change her passport after the marriage. In the application she filled in her actual name, the one after the marriage, of course.

Now she is afraid that she could be disqualified for this... I told her that this is not a reason for disqualification, as she didn't lie with anything and the passport was valid if she wanted to travel, together with a marriage certificate. I am curious what are your thoughts about this situation?



Thank you :)

Well, she didn’t strictly follow the rules by using the name in the passport if she used her married name. However I personally don’t think this will be disqualifying (that said, if she is at a high fraud consulate there is a possibility they will be very strict about the name). If she gets a new passport before interview she needs to keep the old one to bring with or, if her country doesn’t let her keep old passports, make a copy of the bio page.
 
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience already being a dual citizen (of Aus + EU country) and whether this impacts chances of being rejected during the interview?
Thanks!
(To be clear, I applied in my country of birth in Aus and received an OC4XX case number - the other passport is hereditary through my mum).

The fact of being a dual citizen has no impact on the case. You are correctly charged to the country of your birth.
 
Am a DV2022 winner and please pardon me for this long write up

I gained admission to do Masters program with a Polish university and i started last year. I signed my REGISTRATION FOR STUDY form for that academic year 2020/2021 on 13th July 2020. My admission letter from the university was dated 15th July 2020 even though classes was to start on 21st September 2020. There were some small difficulties so I was pardoned by the university to pay tuition fee on 17th October which I did.

With this university for you to be FULLY ENROLLED and recognized as an ACTIVE STUDENT, tuition fee has to be paid in full. On 21st October 2020 (that is 11 days after I had already filled my DV ENTRY FORM) my enrollment was CONFIRMED by the university hence making me an active student on that day 21st October.

My questions are
1. even though I had my Master’s program admission letter already and was not FULLY ENROLLED as an ACTIVE student by then, when I was applying for the DV lottery I picked UNIVERSITY DEGREE as my Highest level of education because I had Certificate to show as evidence.
Did I make any mistake with that selection? Are there any chances of being disqualified?

2. after 1 month of online classes, the program got interrupted (paused) by the university due to some reasons. We are going to RESUME CLASSES this year on 20th September and i have already gone for visa interview and now waiting for the outcome.
On my DS 260 form I will choose my current occupation as STUDENT but what should I choose as my highest level of education when filling it out UNIVERSITY DEGREE or ADVANCED DEGREE since currently am a Master’s student??


THANK YOU
