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

You should plan to interview where you live, unless there is a compelling reason otherwise.
what do you mean “a low round” of interviews? its often easier to get an appointment at a less busy embassy.
 
Hi
I was residing in the UAE and 7 months before I made a final exit on September 2021 , I obtained a police certificate from there on February 2021. Can this certificate be presented in the interview?

How many times do we have to answer this same question from you?
 
I was born in Poland hence I applied with Polish Passport.

In April I also became Canadian Citizen. Due to long queue getting Canadian Passport takes months now.

When I was filing DS-260 in May for the question are you a Citizen of another country I selected yes, selected Canada but for the question "Do you hold a passport from the country/region of origin (nationality) above?" I selected NO because I didn't have passport ready at this moment.

My question is: I soon expect to get my passport ready, I got a note that it should be ready November 5th.

Is this a valid reason to unlock DS-260 and fill passport number since it's my secondary passport or is it safe to provide this info during interview?
 
Hello:
We applied for Diversity Visa 2024 based on my husband’s country of birth.

Me being his spouse also want to apply for Diversity visa based on my spouse’s native country of changeability (for Diversity Visa 2024).

My question is that the pictures we included for our family on my spouse’s application this year (for 2024 Diversity Visa) can that be used for my Diversity Visa application?
I read somewhere that prior year pictures cannot be used( may be the system identifies duplicates).
We just got our pictures clicked last week. However will the system think that the pictures used on my application are duplicate pictures that were used on my husband’s application and reject the application? Do I need to get separate pictures clicked of our family for my application?

As long as the photos are recent, i.e. were "Taken within the last 6 months...", you can use them for both you and your spouse.

You can use the same photos for each family member across applications in the same year (indeed it might be odd if you didn’t). If you read the instructions you will see that they say photos not older than 6 months.

Thanks. This is really helpful!
 
The process of attending to cases, VB release, sending out of NL2 as well as conduct of interviews goes on nonstop throughout the year, with each case interviewed being attended to based on the above-mentioned conditions, and then notified TWO MONTHS EARLIER (counting months, not days).

In October, the process moves another step: processing (i.e. examining and scheduling) cases to be interviewed in December. The November VB which is released in October, informs applicants of the December “interview range”. As that is ongoing, interviews for October which had been scheduled two months earlier – in August – are held in embassies/consulates around the world.

Hello everyone I find the above post somewhere and worth to share here for more explanation, does it mean notifications are distributed two month before an interview?

When did you submit your DS-260 if I may ask?
 
Moha jicho said:

Uh, no. They will go out late October for December interviews and sometimes they have gone out early the following the month (= like now, early November). They only go out after the publication of the VB with the current numbers for the month letters are sent, has been published.
