Hello Sir, in 2014 I applied for student visa for summer work in US, I included a CV with one summer job, I was a student back than. Now at DS 260 at work experience I don’t want do include that summer job because I don’t have any contact and information about that job. Is it a mistake do they have access in those information back than or it’s not relevant? I will qualify based on education if it does make any difference.

Hello , simon
I faced one issue while participating in the dv lottery , my last name includes apostrophe between letters , for example: A’BCD . So I couldn’t submit my entry. What to do !
Thanks

Either join the letters or swap the apostrophe for a single space.

My best friend got selected for dv2021 this year (Albania) He is #226xx. Where is KVCC with the DL2 at this point? Hes concerned that he has not received DnL2 yet.
Also, when he completed his DS260, he used a new email address (where he got the confirmation after completion), because couldn’t get access to the initial email address he used when he applied last year. Does he need to notify KVCC separately for the email change, or would putting the new email on his DS 260 covers that?
Thank you in advance, and thank you for the help you provide to people around the world.

He needs to learn some patience.
The email on the DS260 will be used.

Hi simon,
I sent documents to kcc including a court record For my baby before noticing that it was not needed given that the child is less than 16.
I will like to know if it may cause a disqualification of my documents.
