Hello,

Finally i won after 22 years of participation, I think its time to join my brother :D.
Please help me to complete my ds260.

I have a bachelor's degree in financial science, but I worked as IT support engineer during the last 12 years also I have some IT certifications with SUN, Oracle, VMware, EMC... etc.
1-So should I fill "Does this job require at least 2 years of training or experience" or not ?
2-My old company dissolved and the phone number not working, should I add the old phone number or mine ?
3-My university changed address, should I put the old or the new address ?

Best Regards,
Malikhe

1. Can someone without a degree do the job you’re doing without some training or hands on experience? That is what the question is asking, and you should be able to figure that out.
2. Use the old phone number - it’s not like they’ll be making a call to confirm if you worked there or not as claimed.
3. Current address.

Unfortunately KCC does not help with information recovery

Thanx for the advice. found it by brute force 1/12th of the way in :), but took me 4 hours :( She had entered 01 instead of 10 :(

So, will she need to log in using the wrong DOB every time, or she contacts KCC to correct it?

Common mistake especially if birthdate day is 12 or less is swopping the day/month vs the US convention - you tried that?

turned out to be a 01 instead of a 10 :( Was just over 1/12th of the way trying each of the 365 days in the year :( Wouldn't want someone to loose an opportunity like this over a mistake like that.

She will need to continue to log in as is, but should make sure the correct DOB is listed on the DS260.
 
In case this may be a relevant information for any of you, it took KCC 3 days to reopen my application I requested my DS 260 to be unlocked May 9th and they responded with confirmation that it's unlocked on May 12th. Seems like they're responding in a timely manner!
 
Any idea if someone if filing an I134 for me, what should they they put in the Alien Registration Number (A-Number)? (at this point I only have DS 260 submitted)
 
My friend's passport expired. It is being renewed and is likely to get it in a week or 2. Given what happened to DV22, I wanted to advise her to submit the DS260 with no passport information. When the passport comes, request an unlock and make the amendment. Do you think that is a good idea? I assume the sooner the form is submitted, the higher the chances of success. But, doesn't unlocking it set it back again, or the position in line is safe?

Yes she can submit the DS260 now with no passport information, she will select the OtherTravel Document option, and after she gets the new passport, unlock and update the DS260.

You have no A#, leave it blank.

Awesome, thank you!
And in general how does the I 134 form works? The person who intends to sponsor, fills in the form and do he/she needs to have it processed at any office or only filling in the form and sending it to me to show it to the CO? Also, what other docs do they need to provided me with if any?

The person fills out the I-134 and sends it to you with the supporting documents, you present them (if requested) when you go for your interview. Your sponsor should provide you with their IRS tax transcripts or W2 in lieu of the tax transcript, employment verification letter, and recent bank statements or account verification letter from their bank.

One more question. Considering the date of birth (DOB) error that was done on initial DV submission, wouldn't the DS260 unlocking cause complications (right now she has to log in using the incorrect DOB). If she waits for one more week to get her passport, she possibly loses on one week's "priority processing"...assuming of course that the DS260 unlocking does not put one at the back of the line.

Okay here’s a question for you to help you answer your own question:
If unlocking the DS260 for the purpose of updating the passport information sends one back to the end of the line (if indeed that is true), how much worse off will your friend be if she were to wait until after getting the passport before submitting the form for the first time? Or put it this way, will waiting until after getting the passport before submitting the DS260 form for the first time put your friend “in front of the line” compared to submitting now and unlocking later to update the passport information? I said all of the above to say how will unlocking the form cause complications? The most important thing like I already informed you is for her to list the correct DOB on the form, regardless of what she uses to login.

Thank you, how long is this form binding for the sponsor? And is it enforced by law?
My apologies for the many questions:)

Technically speaking based on the I-864, the form could be considered binding on the sponsor until the immigrant either becomes a USC, or has earned 40 quarters of work credit (usually 10 years), or abandons their LPR status, or passes away - whichever comes first. However, the form is not enforceable by law, meaning the government can not go after the sponsor if the immigrant eventually becomes a public charge (the government could go after the immigrant in such a situation though).

That is a minor mistake, no need to unlock the form for that alone.
