2. No.
3. Wait.
4. No. Your brother previously went through this process, right? So you should know the correlation between the CN and when the 2NL gets sent.

1. No
2. It’s not clear what you mean here. Is the name of the principal applicant wrong, or the name of a derivative?
3. Please follow the instructions linked from the selection letter. The main thing now though is be patient because there’s a long wait before anything happens.
4. Interviews are set on basis of case number regardless of which embassy you interview at.
Thanks for the quick response!
Let me just clarify something. Isn't the KCC deciding first if your documents are ok before you get invited for the interview?
In other words, is there a chance a KCC rejects the case because of my issue or is it the U.S. Embassy that has a decisive final word?

so the first name of principal selectee is wrong? Yes, that could be an issue. Which consulate would you be interviewing at?

The entry was accurate except my first name cause autofill option.
The first name of my spouse start with the same alphabet of mine, so the autofill ruinned my entry.
So sad seems i'm not lucky.
Interview location is Algeria, I appreciate your help Susie& have a nice day.
Good Luck everyone

It’s not accurate if it’s the wrong name. Per the instructions, they can deny your entry if the details on the entry do not match those on the passport. It’s hard to tell if they will accept it as a genuine mistake or deny you. I am not sure how strict Algeria is tbh. You can decide to take a chance and try, accepting a risk that they might deny you.

Does anyone know how strict the Montreal consulate is to such mistakes?

It’s not going to escape notice at any consulate. As a reminder the DV instructions say “Failure to accurately include all the required information will make you ineligible for a DV.”. Even if they believe it was a mistake, some COs will follow the letter of the law and deny. If it’s something you really want and are prepared to take the gamble of losing your application fee I think it’s worth a try, but you have to be prepared for the risk of denial.

But in the entry for dv-2023 there is two parts where you provide names.
Part1 and part7 as you see in this video

I’m glad Susie asked some pertinent follow up questions to help us better understand your situation. My initial response was based on the impression I got that you listed your spouse’s maiden name as a last name in place of yours as the last name - since that is obviously not the case, my previous response about it not being an issue was wrong.

4. I know people with very high case numbers for DV2022 who got interviewed before those with lower case numbers...in the AFxxx region. Up to now, I don't know what rationale is used to prioritise the 2022 interviews for the AF region.

I don’t watch random videos. There are detailed instructions with the entry form.

A quick question on DS-260 section information on employment held in the last ten years starting from the present. If a person has been on the same employment for the last 10 years, does this mean other jobs including volunteer work do not need to be reported in the Ds-260?

Hello, my case number is low 15** , I submitted DS-260 a week ago (15.05.22), but I found out that I needed to change my permanent address (U.S. address) in the form. So today I have emailed to KCC regarding reopening DS-260 form. I would like to know if does this cause any delay for scheduling my interview. Also after resubmission of DS-260 will the prior date of form completion change into the date of resubmission?

If you can figure out a way to enter them without the dates overlapping (I believe the system does not allow overlap dates), then you can list them if you like.

Reopening the DS260 for a change of address does not cause interview schedule delay.

Thank you so much.
Hi guys, I have a general question regarding the Birth Certificate.
My Birth Certificate includes the wrong surname of my father (My parents have different surnames but on the document, they hold the same - my mother's last name). As per DS-260, the form asks to include the father's surname, which will be different from the one on the Birth Certificate.
What's more, is that my parents were never in a legal marriage. And I don't know any information about my father except his real surname and DoB.
What do you think I should do to play safe? Include the father's real last name on the DS-260 but to cause confusion with surnames? Or should I put the same surname per Birth Certificate? Or should I try to secure an application of a single mother or smth like that?
On the "reciprocity by country" page, it is stated in the comment section that "if the child's parents are not in a legal marriage, the father's information shall be written based on the mother's statement, certified by a notary public or a medical facility".
I am not sure if I should follow along with the comment since both of my parents are included on my Birth Certificate? And I've never heard of cases when embassies ask for the marriage certificate of the parents of the derivative applicant.
I don't intend to hide anything, It's just I'd rather not include my father at all but at the same time he is mentioned on my Birth Certificate.
Thanks in advance.
