If you’re applying through a consulate (not adjusting status in the US), 3 months of illegal work should not be a problem for an immigrant visa. You would however be ineligible to adjust status in the US because of it.
There could be a potential misrepresentation problem if the work visa application asked if you had ever worked illegally or otherwise violated status and you lied about that - I’m not familiar with the documentation for work visas.

Always follow the official US guidelines for the civil documents you need. Scroll down to the correct section here for UK https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...Civil-Documents-by-Country/UnitedKingdom.html
(these pages are linked in the instructions for selectees, linked from your selection letter)

you don’t even get a 3-year entry ban (the shortest ban) for less than 180 days of unlawful presence, so I don’t know why he said that, you had half of that. For sure you would be very unlikely to get a tourist visa again seeing as you violated the terms of your last one, but if what you describe is accurate it shouldn’t be a problem for an immigrant visa.

whatever you do, DON’T knowingly lie on official immigration paperwork. That is fraudulent misrepresentation, and that can lead to a lifetime ban.
 
Hello!
My spouse won the DV2023 lottery (2023EU4xxx) and I have the following question:

1. My husband holds a crew member visa (C1/D) and I have applied for a tourist visa (B1/B2) some time ago (for which I got a denial).
Hence, both of us had previously filled out the DS-160 form.
Our concern is that we don't remember the exact history of employment since we had tons of seasonal short-term jobs in the past previous years.
So my question is would there be any problem if the employment history (on DS-260) won't precisely match with the previous application (our intention is to share every job we had) but should we be worried if the dates might be wrong?

Thank you for your help!

Unlikely to be an issue.

1. Yes, you should unlock your DS260 after you move to NZ and update the address.
2. The first consideration for being scheduled for an interview is the CN, this has to become current. Then KCC must have finished processing your case. Finally, embassy capacity may play a role.

Yes you can, not a problem.
 
Hello,

I'm desperately looking for advice regarding the huge mistake my husband and I made in his DV lottery application.
I'm a derivative and my husband is a winner of DV-2023.

We have realized that we replaced my name with my surname (they are in the wrong order). My husband's data is correct.

Do we have any chance to get visas? Is it worth submitting the DS forms? Any successful cases with this type of mistake?

Relax, you guess will be fine. Just be sure to fill out your DS260 form correctly.
 
Hi guys,
What's the average time the KCC responds to emails? (just an email with document clarification of specific country)

They are just an administrative function, they probably won’t answer that kind of email. Have you checked the DoS reciprocity tables as linked in the selectee instructions to check the specific country document requirements?

Yes, I did. My issue is with the police certificate, probably someone could help me:

I am a citizen of Uzbekistan and as per the information mentioned on the website of the U.S. Department of State, Uzbek citizens should apply to the Unified Portal of Interactive State Services in order to obtain police records. It is also stated that the police certificate includes the QR-code, registration number, date of document creation, applicant's full name, and importantly - the ID number.

I successfully obtained the police clearance, however, the document only includes my ITN (Individual Taxpayer Number) and not the actual Passport Series that indicates the ID number.
My question is whether such a police certificate will be accepted if I provide it along with the supporting document that states the given ITN belongs to me? The document includes my Personal Identification Number which CAN be found on my Passport but not the actual passport number.

I am not able to get a document which would include my ID and not the tax ID. And the issuing authority is not able to do anything, it's my 8th attempt to obtain a proper police clearance but the same story - no ID. They have changed the system, it's ONLY the electronic document that the U.S. embassy accepts, and it's just a mess. The request for a police certificate can no longer be filed in person.
I currently reside in UAE, I've tried to contact my own embassy to ask for any sort of written confirmation, whether they could include my passport number stating that the document belongs to me but they don't do any stamping.

I just wanted to be sure that KCC would accept the document since there is such chaos with the ID. And it seems like there are not many ways to contact them. Should I try to get a response from U.S. Embassy in UAE regarding this?

The US embassy in Uzbekistan (or that processes Uzbek cases, sorry I’m not that familiar with it) would be best placed to answer as they are the embassy the UAE would defer to anyway. Or you could take a chance and arrive at the embassy with it as is and hope you don’t get out on AP. I’m not clear yet if KCC is taking documents this year.
 
Dears,

Yesterday I received passports of my children and complete all DS-260.
1- is there an impact on my case when I did a delay of 11 days?
2- in the entry period for the DV-2023 I made a mistake so I added the given name of my wife instead my first name. Is there an impact on y case too ?
3- I completed all DS-260 of my family, what's the next step to do?
4- I have Schengen visa, can I receive 2NL earlier if I change interview location from Algeria to any US embassy in europe ?

Best Regards,
