Hello
Has anyone selected a third-country, specifically, Canada, for their DV consular process? I am not a Canadian (born in an Asian country) but am currently in Canada and to save me some time fro traveling back home. I want to know if it is possible to do so, thank you!

If you already filled your DS-260, you should already know where your interview will be (default closest location). Otherwise, it seems too late to be thinking about this in my opinion, unless you have a low case number.
 
Hello everyone,
I recently received the 2NL and got so confused when I check the pre-interview checklist.
The background is I'm a solo visa applicant, was born in Turkey, and studied in the UK for a year. Currently living in New Zealand as Ph.D. student for over 6 months now. So this case, do I must provide policy certification from UK or Turkey or NZ? I don't think I have submitted any policy document to NVC over a year ago.

Also, I have checked from the official Turkey government site that mentions all documents from the e-government can be used for visa application, but I really don't know what's the definition of original. Does it have to be the one issued over 20 years ago?

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes, you are required to submit the Police Certificate from Turkey (I'm assuming you lived there till you were at least 18 or older), UK, and New Zealand. Since you are interviewing in NZ, I hope you realize you're required to submit all of your documents in person a week before your interview - I recall pointing you in that direction a short while ago.
2. It doesn't matter if documents such as birth certificate was issued over 20 years ago. What matters is for the document to be issued by the recognized issuing authority in your country. If that happens to be an electronic version, then just download a copy - that will be considered to be the original version. Check the Reciprocity page (link below for Turkey) to confirm the issuing authority, in addition for more information on what is acceptable

Yes, thank you for the double confirmation, but from the official NZ official website , that they mentioned they will not provide any document directly to the applicant, so how can people manage to do it by submit in person?PC.PNG

The NZ embassy is familiar with the PCC protocols from NZ. So follow the instructions for getting it completed, no need to worry about in person submission for that specific one.
 
Hello, I have received the 2NL (second notification letter) but I haven't received anything from the U.S. Consulate in Montreal, Canada. Are they supposed to send me any instructions letter with what to do next? Should I go straight to do medical exams? I am confused.
 
*Foreign state of chargeability from my parents.

Hello, I got the 2NL. I born in Germany and both my parents born in Greece. I chose as country of chargability Greece, back when I joined DV2023. In my ds260 it’s written that both my parents born in Greece. In my interview do I need to bring proof that my parents born in Greece? Do I need to bring there Greek birth certificates? Or saying verbally it’s enough. Anyone had similar situation?

Why did you cross charge to your parents’ birth country considering your own birth country is equally eligible? I would expect your case to be denied at the interview because cross chargeability to a parent’s country of birth is an option for those born in non eligible countries, it is not an option anyone could simply select. You did not meet the requirements for cross charging to your parents.

“A child born in a non-qualifying country in which neither parent was born nor was a resident at the time of the child’s birth, may claim the birthplace of either parent;”

 
Because my citizenship, nationality, high school certificate and native language are Greek. Also both my parents are born Greek and we live in Greece to this day. My parent were never permanent residents or citizens of Germany. It just happened to born in Germany and I don’t even know a word in German.

I have the right of cross chargeability because I don’t gain any advantage and my parents were not residents of Germany at the time of my birth. Also both countries are within the same region. By the rules my interview will not be declined.

My question is should I bring the Greek birth certificates of my parents as a proof or what else? Someone who had similar situation what documents they brought to the interview to proof there cross chargeability?

Your lack of understanding of the rules governing the process makes you think you have some “right” which you clearly do not have. You do not understand how cross chargeability works, that is quite obvious to me. There’s no requirement about understanding the language spoken in one’s country of birth, or to have documents issued in that country’s language or by that country (with the exception of the birth certificate of course).

This lack of understanding, (now followed by the claim of some “right”) is the reason I’m not answering the actual question you’ve asked about. The response I have about cross chargeability to one’s parent’s country of birth is not applicable in your situation, so I’m sorry I will not be responding to it. Maybe someone else may be willing to do that.

p.s. do keep us updated as to the outcome of your interview.

You lack understanding. The rules says “When an applicant is born in a country where neither of the parents was born in or a subject of, may be charged to the country of either parent.” That’s exactly what I did. The citizenship, nationality and language it’s of course irrelevant as of the country of chargeability, I just mentioned that.
Instead of answer to my question I got an opinion which I never asked for so I’m not going to update the outcome of my interview.

I received my immigrant visa valid until June '23. Can I enter US, for example in May, in order to endorse it and stay there this first time for only a week, then return back to home country for few months and move officially to US in August '23?

Yes, you absolutely can do that. Congratulations on getting the IV.
 
Hello eveyone. I have a quick question about police certificates. The official website says that they are valid for two years. MTL says that if it's older than 1 year and the applicant still lives in that country, a new certificate should be issued.

If you previously submitted a police certifciate to NVC, it is more than one (1) year old, and you still live in that country, you must obtain and bring a more recent police certificate to your visa interview as the one you previously submitted will have expired.

My police certificate from a different country (not the one where I live) will be 1 year old in July. My interview hasn't been scheduled yet. And if it will be scheuled for August/September (if at all), am I at risk with that certificate? Has anyone heard of cases when they asked for a more recent certificate even if it was still valid?
