Hi Brit, I would like to know if some documents have been asked to be added after our interview: medical exam and other proof regarding my husband and i’s relationship ( pictures, message from social media) so could we also add some others like proof of buying a compound together, bank account’s information cause we are having a bank account together, proof of rent? Is that armless by adding documents not asked like these? Best regards

It is wise to have extra documents you think might be needed.

Ask your question here.

Hey Britt,
I have both citizenship both argentinian and italian, living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Can I participate of the next 2020 Diversity Visa Program as italian? I have noticed that has more vacancies as European than Latin america.
August 31, 2018 at 2:46 pm
It is not based on citizenship. You enter under your country of birth.

So I got an email “KCC DV” with an attached adjustment letter for my case. I got two attachments,
The first is the information for mailing my payment to the US Dept of State DV Program.
The other is pretty much saying thanks the notification of planning to apply for adjustment of status, that I can’t apply until a visa number is made available (which in the vis bulletin isn’t out yet for their fiscal year, and that the fee must be paid before my case can be sent to the USCIS.
So I guess my questions are am I supposed to send my payment now? Because I thought I’m supposed to pay after I do my interview which obviously can’t be scheduled yet. And do I have to do some other paperwork besides the DS-260 that I’ve already done.
Note: I have read information about the adjustment of status because I’m living here as an F1 status student but honestly the AOS information is not as straight forward as I hoped. Thanks.

AOS is not that complicated. You should read the spreadsheet linked from the first post on the thread below. Once you have donw that you will understand better how to handle your case.

I still couldnt understand why people apply for this from countries like australia and new zealand? please dont be selfish you people have great countries to live so why destroying others chances .
September 18, 2018 at 2:35 pm
You know nothing about other people’s motivations, so rather than telling others to not be selfish – perhaps you should learn about how the lottery works and don’t be foolish.
