DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

In the 600s for Af is very low, you can see that if you look at the visa bulletin it is current in October already.
Then according to his case it seems they send DRQ email also by CN no matter weather we submitted DS early or later they send Mail
By CN they give priority to LOW CN after that only HIGH I think so

You’re going to drive yourself crazy with all this detailed analysing of every case you see, and us along with you by posting every thought you have on it. Seriously - please. That’s why the spreadsheet is there, so the forum doesn’t get cluttered with posts that don’t do anything but go over and over again about trying to figure out a pattern with DQ.
 
Hi Folks,

I'm hoping someone can help me on this one. I have a pretty low Oceania Case number from New Zealand (OC2022000001xx) and have been requested to send documents, which I have done. However, the New Zealand police clearance is a slightly different process. You have to email the Ministry of Justice and ask them to send the details to the USA Consulate, which I thought I had done. It's been a while though and I haven't received anything regarding an interview so I just went back and had a look at the original email (which I had been advised had been processed). I notice that the guidance says to "include your US visa application case number (e.g. ACK2017958275)" on the form, which I now I think I got wrong. The only number I had that looked like that was the number on my DS-260 submission confirmation email beneath the barcode, but should this have been the case number above (OC2022000001xx)? It doesn't look like quite the same format to me... Should it be a different number? If anyone has done this already I'd really appreciate some advice.

Thanks in advance

Why do they send your police check to the US Consulate? My NZ one got posted back to me which I then emailed to KCC.

Thanks for getting back to me kplo,

I was following the advice from the DV lottery site and the NZ police site as below (sorry for awkward format, this is the only way the forum would let me post them...)

If I'm not following the correct process, could you let me know how you went about getting yours? Have you been scheduled for interview then?
 
Hello Everyone, I hope you are doing well, I want to ask about the J-1 \ J-2 Visa I heard that if you won the DV lottery you will have to return to your country for 2 years because you broke a condition in the J visa is this true?. what I heard that a person who have this visa got married to a us citizen then they told him you have to return for two years. can anyone help?

I am not an expert, but from what I know, not all J1 visa holders are subject to the two-Year Home-Country Physical Presence Requirement. You may want to check if that box was ticked in your DS2019 or check with your institution. If you were on a Government funded Exchange Program, have a Specialized Knowledge or Skill or you are a Graduate Medical Education/Training, there is a high probability you have been subjected to the 2YHRR will. Your best bet will be to look into getting a waiver by starting from this website https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...iver-of-the-exchange-visitor/eligibility.html
Btw, I hope you have not sent your DS260 already?

Hi LRennes,
I've posted your question on the OC2022 forum since it is all things Oceania.
Perhaps I assumed we were to just ask for the Police Check where they send you your certificate in a few days as this is what I've received from the other countries I've lived in. Be interesting to see what others have to say as I haven't seen a lot of kiwis in the forum so far. Also, use the timeline tracker to update your case in the OC region. Either SusieQQQ or SimonsMom have posted the link on this forum several times.
I haven't been DQ yet but my case won't be current for a while so I'm not stressing.

Cheers mate, will see what the other kiwis have to say about it then. I know the certificate you're referring to as I've had to get that for jobs before. I presume it's all the same information they send to the US consulate, just that it's through a different process for some reason. I'll take a look at the register as well.

Most kiwis I’ve seen mention it does get sent straight to the consulate. You guys may get more info on the OC thread,

It depends on the specific J1 - some have a 2 year home country residence requirement, some don’t. IF you have one you can ask for a waiver - and some get these, some don’t (if you have US govt funding for the J, like a Fulbright, it is very difficult but not totally impossible to get a waiver). Here’s a decent overview from UChicago on it https://internationalaffairs.uchicago.edu/twoyearreq
