DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

[olilio]

Hi everyone, i checked data for EU region for DV2022 and it looks like a few cases with CN EU27XXX have already received their visas. However, I've been following a russian-speaking forum and someone with CN EU10XXX hasn't been scheduled for an interview yet (Warsaw). I wonder if getting the interview depends more on your consulate and not CN. Thank you.

Good day, people,
During the interview, the council asked to provide one more police certificate and document that one of the children (20 years old) that she never been married. Other than that council said everything seemed ok, they kept passports, and the council said to mail those docs and we will review these 2 documents and will give you Ok. But the online status says Refused, it's normal right?
Thank You,

Yes, its a temporary refusal till they get the required documents.

Getting scheduled for the interview depends on the CN AND the applicable consulate. The CN needs to be current, then the selected consulate needs to be operating (or have the required capacity to take on the case).

Hello everyone,

I realized that my 1NL and 2NL does not contain the first part of my name as it is in my passport.(surname is correct but part of the first name is missing) When filing the DS-260, I remember that I did not had enough space to fill my full first name as it was in the passport and I just used the name as it was in 1NL. Now my DS-260, 1NL and 2NL has the same name but my passport has my additional first name. Will this be an issue during my interview? Can I correct this mistake at the interview? I hope to get an affidavit from a lawyer just in case;


Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Your 1NL and 2NL are issued based on the way you submitted your DV entry registration. Point out the missing parts when you go for your interview.

Few days to two and a half months. My advice would be to apply for SSN in the SSA office as soon as you arrive in the US. It doesn't matter what option you choose in DS-260, the border control officer advised me to do it in person. I've got my SSN in a week.

When you apply for SSN in person, you will get a document that some employers consider as proof that you have an SSN, or use it as a proof of residence, as it shows the address where the SSN will be sent.

As already mentioned, the employment process, renting, leasing, driver's license, and all of those things take time, so it's better to start those processes in parallel, and this SSN application confirmation helps. Later as you get your SSN you will update all parties waiting for it.

Awesome, thank you for the tip!

14k Frankfurt here.

My status changed end of April from documents currently processing to the following info based on a KCC mail: „Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email“.

My case number is current, but based on the status checks my case is still at NVC and I’m not at „ready“. So I guess I have been skipped since many higher cases have changed their status to ready in May for Frankfurt.

Quite frustrating..

I don’t remember your case, sorry, but if they refuse the visa you will get a letter with the refusal reason back with your passport. They will always give you a reason.

So - they asked for your passport because if everything had been ok, they would have issued you a visa. Not wanting to jump to any conclusions until you actually get the passport back and see if there is a visa or a refusal letter with it, but if it’s the latter then either something on the questionnaire was a problem, or they discovered something else in the background checks routinely done after the interview. This happens sometimes, that it looks good at interview and something comes to their attention later. Nothing to do now but wait for the passport and see …sorry.

edit: I just looked at your old posts and see it was a public charge questionnaire but they also had questions about prior stay. So it could be one of a few things If it is a refusal.

They normally send an explanation for the refusal when a case gets rejected or denied. Since the embassy still has your passport, I believe they will include an explanation when returning the passport if they decide to deny the case.

I'm sorry I cannot pre-empt the ineligibility ground the CO may or could possibly apply to your case.

Doesn’t matter that their bank account was the same size as yours. Public charge is a very individual thing and they look at all sorts of things… we always have people here asking “how much money do I need in my bank account“ and public charge really is nowhere near that simple. Anyway little point speculating here. Let us know when you get your passport and if it is a visa or a refusal and if a refusal, what the letter says.

Is a correct I-134 with its proper corresponding documents (e.g. right amount of income of the sponsor) a "definite" way of avoiding the public charge?

I’ve never heard of a DV case where it wasn’t. However, I have heard of a couple of family sponsored i864 cases (and bear in mind the i864 is legally binding, unlike the i134) where the applicant was not approved. In both cases, the beneficiaries were in their late 20s or early 30s without much of a work history so I guess the thinking was that their likelihood of becoming a public charge was high - the sponsorship obligation ends when the beneficiary becomes a citizen. One actually reported they were told to get a couple of years of work history and then come back again. I have also heard of a few cases where the sponsor technically met the income requirement but not by much and they were told to get a joint sponsor (which i don’t think you can do with a i134).

Can't you appeal and go to an interview again but with another consul? I think it was possible at the time with J1 visa for example

An appeal is typically not possible following a CP denial, plus the OP has not yet been formally denied anyways.

 

[SusieQQQ]

There is no formal legal appeal process for a consular interview, plus you can’t go choosing COs lol. The poster might try an informal appeal IF they are actually denied - which the embassy may or may not look at - but s/he can’t do even that until they have a reason, right ?

for J or whatever you are referring to the applicant almost certainly submitted another application. There is no way you can just ask an embassy for a different CO to re-look at the same application.
