DV 2022 OC Selectees

lukearosa said:
Hi all!
My case number is OC4XX and I received an email to supply docs overnight.

Only issue is, I made a mistake on my initial DS260 and requested an unlock mid May then mid Jun to which they still haven’t replied. I followed BritSimon’s template so I’m pretty certain I sent it in the correct format.

When submitting my DS260, I either forgot to enter or the website erased my second citizenship and a number of countries dropped off my travel history (nothing high risk, just a trip to Asia).

I’ve correctly submitted under Aus chargeability so this mistake doesn’t impact passport submission, police cert, etc. I also don’t need the police cert for second citizenship as I never lived there so won’t be submitting one for it.

Should I submit docs now? Worried they might progress with docs before unlocking and then I lose the chance to amend before an interview at the consulate. Not sure of this but leaving off a second citizenship seems like a big deal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Hi lukearosa,
I would hold off submitting the docs until you have had the chance to amend the ds260 just to be safe as the countries visited should affect their background checks ? Because you have a low CN and if you get scheduled before they unlock then you won’t have the chance to amend at all. I have seen some unlock requests have been processed from early June so should happen soon. As britsimon says, delay is better than denial.

I am in a similar boat, I requested unlock request back in June, I eagerly submitted my docs a few weeks ago and now that I have received docs request email I am really stressing about it being processed before they unlock, and am regretting sending the docs off early!! I have a higher case number so will have a later interview likely in 2022.

Hey AusOC,

Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
I don’t know much about the process of background checks but assumed travel history and other citizenships play a role.

Yeah, that was pretty much the situation I feared so is the reason I held off initially sending docs.
An own-goal on my behalf for making a mistake on the DS260 but I really wish they had a better process for submitting and amending DS260 and submitting docs.

There’s another thread for unlock requests and seems like KCC is making progress (albeit seemingly random whose form they unlock) so hopefully they get to yours asap so you’re not as stressed!

We submitted our Docs on 12th May 1405hrs AEST. We haven't received a request to send documents yet. That is really encouraging though to hear that some people have. Hopefully that means we will hear in the next week or too.

Had you already sent the documents before being requested to do so? Or are you going to do it now for the first time, since you have now been asked to send documents through?

My hubby has been stressing big time as he is really hoping the lockdown will lift by October. He is hoping that we can be in the states before Christmas. We have everything crossed that things will change and that interviews will start, yet we are remaining patient as we are in tough times.

I will let everyone know when we do hear from KCC.

We have a CN of OC2** too. We are from Australia. We submitted DS260 12th May and required documents 30th June. We haven't heard anything from KCC yet.
 
Congrats guys, that's so awesome!
I am OC2xx and submitted 260 on May 19. Have not received email for docs yet either, so also assuming they are being processes on 260 submission date!
Exciting times!!

Hi Syd2022,

I had not submitted the docs before but now since requested will get it done.
 
Hi Everyone, Is there anyone that submitted their DS260 prior to June 1st AND later submitted their documents without being asked, that has heard from KCC with either a request to send documents even though you had already sent them or recieved a 2NL? I have heard of anyone yet receiving a 2nl but i am interested to see if KCC is requesting documents from those that submitted without being asked. Thanks so much.

Hi Syd2022, yes I submitted ds260 in May, docs without asked 30 July, and received the document request from KCC on Monday!
 
Hi all,
I submitted my DS-260 in early May and then emailed KCC to unlock it on June 4, and it still hasn't be unlocked. I followed BritSimon's template for requesting it to be unlocked - so there shouldn't have been any issue with the email. Just curious to see if anyone else is in a similar scenario or had theirs recently unlocked

Yeah I’m in the same position. Submitted unlock request in May and no response.

there’s a thread on this as well if you search for it. They’ve recently unlocked a few peoples but not many it seems.
 
Hi
I have a question, I got my daughter resident and my ex has reasonable access do I need travelling order before interview or after interview if I get the visa I can apply for travelling order.

You will normally need permission of the other parent for the child’s visa to be issued. The exact form of permission depends on the country you are in. [looking further ahead, if you might be in line to naturalize before the child turns 18, you are strongly encouraged to get proof of legal custody before you leave your home country)
