Hi for everyone, I was residing in the UAE and 7 months before I made a final exit, I obtained a police certificate from there on February 2021. Can this certificate be presented in the interview?

If you are interviewing in MTL absolutely do not reschedule and do not show up to the interview without everything you need, including medical. Any delay in any shape, way or form will put you in an indefinite black hole.
Montreal is infamous for this. I am a DV22 winner and know many that also went through MTL, and it’s been a hellish ride.
If you do not get issued at time of interview you’re in it for the long haul. Get the second dose in Ontario - you can get it at 21 days.

Incase I applied last year and did a mistake during application but was never selected and I apply this year and maybe be selected during interview do they check the previous application to see how you filled it? And can that lead to denial because of previous mistakes on applications or they just focus on the current application.

Can you be more specific about the “mistake”
Like saying you were married in that entry but now you’re single without divorce papers is not just a “mistake” lol

A cyber guy applied for me and put a wrong photo of my child ( another child photo).

Can’t say for sure but that’s probably not going to be a problem.

Agreed. The issue is material misrepresentation, this is easily understood as a mistake. I would not continue using “cyber guys” for your application.
Hi Guys,
I have a few questions about the vaccinations. I have read the spreadsheet and was confused about a few requirements.
1. For Hepatitis A and Meningococcal, it says 18 years only. What does that mean? That I only need the shot if I'm 18, under 18, or over 18?
2. If I had Tdap as a child (which I believe is a requirement of my home country) do I need to get it again? Or can I do a blood test?
3. On USCIS website, they state others such as pertusis and polio. Are these a requirement also? Or only if you're under a certain age?

A lot of the vaccines are not age appropriate. Call your panel physician’s office and tell them your age and ask what vaccines you should get.

The best approach is not to try figure it out yourself. The panel doctor will give you what is appropriate for you when you go for your medical. (PS, the P in TdaP is pertussis, so it’s not “other”. )
Also, what spreadsheet? if you read the AOS spreadsheet, that’s not applicable to consular processing, which is the thread you’re posting in, and hence what my answer is based on. If you’re doing AOS, you should be posting in the AOS thread and not this one, because the medical procedures are different.

Not all panel doctors offer vaccines fyi. In Toronto the panel doctor I went to had no vaccines on site. A lot of the vaccines are free because of our healthcare, so I was able to get everything I needed with my GP prior to medical.

That’s very unusual, to have doctors without vaccines… in fact, wow, kind of mind boggling. Many of the country specific panel doctor instructions actually say not to get vaccines done in advance because they’ll decide what’s necessary at the medical. There was one poster from Australia not too long ago who tried to save money getting vaccines done through the public health system there and ended up getting a bunch they didn’t need. If the poster could specify where they are that might help too.

Hi sm1smom and SusieQQQ
I am à DV2023 lottery winner with a case number 2023AF37k currently residing in USA, I filed my DS260 in May a week after the results were published choosing to do the processing here in the USA and within two weeks I got the letter that it was received.
Later on knowing that I have a very high case number and I am on J1 visa expiring mid April 2023, I decided to change to CP and I wrote to KCC, they accepted the change but I have not yet change the address in my DS260 to the address in my home country were I want to do the processing.
Should I request the KCC to release my DS260 in order for me to change my address so that it doesn’t delay my processing.
Thank you for your time and help

I’m not really understanding why you haven’t done this yet. What exactly are you waiting for?

Hi,
I am a DV2023 winner with case number 2023AF2K. I was in China from 2015 to 2017 for my masters and have been in my home country since then. I have already applied for and received police clearance from my home country. Do I need to apply for police clearance certificate from China as well?

If you are 16 years of age or older, you must submit a police certificate from the following locations:
| From ... | AND... | THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from... |
| the country of nationality if they resided there for more than 6 months | is 16 years old or older | the police authorities of that locality. |
| the country of current residence (if different from nationality) if they resided there for more than 6 months | was 16 years or older at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
