DV 2023 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

General question: Isn’t it the case that once you file AoS you have the right to remain in the US while your application is pending, even if your visa expires before your green card is approved? Assuming one becomes current of course.

Yes, but not everyone is comfortable staying as just “AOS pending” after their prior status expires. Apart from anything else, it means you can’t work or study, etc. Not everyone is happy to sit for potentially months unable to do anything of value while savings go down on paying rent and subsistence, etc.

Make sure you’re on the Immigrant Visa interface and not the NIV. Under “current status” is a continue button, click that to get to the action menu depicted below. Once Montreal receives the certificate it takes them at least six weeks to get to it.

Thanks! I already figured that out and sent the required document a few days ago.

You are correct Clefs, it is just that I am not sure if my case will be current by the time my stay in the USA expires. I want to be safe and just do it back home.

That’s why I need clearance on changing my current address and putting that of my country as of today and putting my present address as my most recent previous address up till Oct 2022

Smart move, good luck!
 
Hey, thanks for your good information. really appreciate it.
I'm having a quick question. we already submitted our DS-260 form on first June and our case number is AS15XX which is already current. our embassy is Armenia but unfortunately we there is no interview scheduled for us yet since there are some bigger case numbers than us already got interview appointmant.

I wanted to know is it normal or we should be worried about it? and is it good to send email to KCC or we should wait?
Thanks in advance.

Did you get the confirmation email from KCC that your ds260 is processed and your case is ready for scheduling when current?
also KCC/embassies dont go on strict numerical order. Any case that is current can be scheduled in the month and they will usually do it in order of processed (not submitted) ds260.

Yeah, me and my wife both received separated emails after submitted the form, subject was U.S. DoS - CEAC Confirmation and start by:
Thank you for being a valued U.S. Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) customer. Your online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application Form(DS-260) has been submitted.

on ceac.state.gov our status is like this:
YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT:KCC

Is that all or I missed something?

I think that's an auto-generated email, that you receive right after submitting your DS 260. In order to know if your DS 260 has been processed or still under processing, you'll need to send and inquiry to KCC via email

That sounds just like an autoconfirmation of submission. Other people have reported getting an email saying the DS is processed and case is ready for scheduling when current. Maybe you need to email KCC separately to that response.

Just sharing for those who might need this info.

Actually, If you haven't moved to your home country yet don't pretend you have. You can simply write to KCC and ask for change of interview location to CP and tell them where you want the interview to be even though you live in the USA.

I got that response from BritSimon.

I should add - they normally expect that to be your last country of residence, but in some cases that won't be sensible/possible - so you have to make that clear.

So in my case, my previous country of residence before entering USA is my birth country (where I want the interview to take place).

In this case it will be possible ?
 
Hello everyone, when I applied for my dv2023 I made some kind of mistake on my passport number and in April I received a new passport. so when i was filling in my DS-260 i put in my new passport details do you think this can be a problem?
And also I have submitted my ds on may 21 and my case number is around AF109** according to your experience is it possible to receive my 2nl when my case will become current ?

Thank you

That’s fine, bring your old passport with your new to the interview just in case.

Your case number isn’t high.

Your case will definitely become current in next visa bulletin that is January 2023. Passport come with different numbers when you replace. What you need to do is to bring both passport to your interview section. Some countries were in the process of phasing out the old passport. So I don’t think it will effect your case.
 
I have asked the KCC if they have already processed my DS-260 and the sent me this. Does anyone know what it means?
Thank you

Hi,
I am a French citizen living in Ireland, I have been selected for green card with what we might said a high case number 35k+
My question is, should I rather change the embassy for the US embassy in france or remain with the US embassy based in Dublin, it seems to me that the embassy in Dublin has a very low round of interviews for US visas compared to the US embassy in France
thanks
