OK – a few days ago I posted an article about a new document procedure that is happening. At the time I did not know that much about the new procedure – I think some people get the impression that the government explain things to me before they make changes. They don’t. Whatever I know, I know by getting information from you all and applying a little logical reasoning.
So anyway. Here is what we know so far:
- The new procedure seems to be in effect for all cases in all regions.
- Although the email has not gone out to all cases so far, it HAS gone out to people in all number ranges – so the fact that you get the email does not mean your case will be current next month.
- Principal selectees will get the email and submit the documents for themselves and all derivatives.
- The list of documents needed is clearly stated in the email. There is no reason to send documents they haven’t asked for. There are also clear instructions in the email, so you don’t need to ask me if you just read the email carefully.
- There are some cases where police certs cannot be sent ahead of time (like Albania where the police cert is sent to the embassy). Also, some countries do not have reliable police certs so they are not required. In those cases make sure you carefully follow the instructions in the reciprocity page and attach an explanation to the email response about why you are not sending the police cert.
- Police certificates are in the list of documents to be included. Since those documents expire, I believe you should not submit these police certs too early. Therefore a person with a high case number could sensibly wait and not respond to the email too soon. However, you should later respond to the email once your case number is getting closer. In other words, if your case is close to being current (in the next 2 or 3 VBs, then go ahead and submit these documents asap. If on the other hand you know you won’t be current until August, then wait a couple of months before you submit. Please use some common sense about this. Don’t ask me when to send – use some logic!
- People that have not received the email but expect to interview soon could choose to send these documents anyway.
- People already scheduled do not need to send these documents unless requested.
- The official instructions have been updated to reflect this new procedure. It seems to have been decided to be implemented in time to affect the January 2019 interviews.
Why are they doing this and is it a good thing?
They are probably trying to improve processing of DV cases. By KCC having the documents early, KCC and the embassy have some extra time to screen the cases and perform additional checks before the interview. That might help reduce AP waiting times after the interview. Maybe. Not certain – but maybe.
Additionally it will reduce the number of people that get scheduled for interview but don’t show up. That is because some people would have sent in their DS260s because no proof of documents is required for that, but now have to show valid documents. Some people won’t be able to provide valid documents, so rather than scheduling those people and wasting an interview appointment, the embassy will be more certain the selectee will show up.
Amazingly, there are people that show up to the interviews without some of the required documents. That is just a waste of time, so this process will reduce the chances of that happening.
Those reasons seem positive to me – so this should be seen as a positive improvement.
How will this impact processing and the VB this year?
Because some people who have submitted DS260s won’t respond to this email in a timely manner, those cases will not be able to be scheduled. That will possibly create a “backlog” effect as we used to see. To explain that, let me give some illustration with made up numbers.
Let’s say KCC decide they need 500 cases to be interviewed in a given region in the next month. Before this new procedure they would look at the cases and see how many cases had submitted their DS260 and were ready for scheduling. That might have meant they needed to increase the VB by 1000 cases to yield the 500 cases they needed for interviews.
With the new procedure they now have to see if the documents have been submitted. So now, they might need to increase the VB by 1200 case numbers to yield the 500 cases. That creates a backlog of cases that will be scheduled in later months once they have submitted their documents.
So – this change in process might temporarily lead to 2 or 3 months of higher VB movement, and then a later slowdown. This is not certain – just a guess of what might happen – just speculation. In fact, it may end up not changing things by enough to be noticeable. So – just remain patient and wait and see what happens.
Here is the email again for those that might not have seen it.

Dear ************:
The Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) has completed processing of your DS-260 Diversity Visa application form and the DS-260s of all accompanying family members.
In order to continue processing your case, you must submit electronic copies of the documents below in .jpeg or.pdf format to [email protected]. Use your case number as the subject of the email. The maximum email size is 30MB. If the total size of your attachments is larger than 30MB, send multiple emails using your case number as the subject of each email. Please send your documents for KCC review only after you have collected all of the required documents for yourself and all accompanying family members. Send documents only to the [email protected] email address; for any document processing questions use the [email protected] email address.
Documents photographed or scanned with a mobile phone are acceptable, but every document must be fully legible. Illegible or incomplete documents must be re-submitted and will delay processing of your case.
All documents not in English, or in the official language of the country in which application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator that states that the translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate.
You will take original or certified copies of all documents you submit to KCC to your visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. Submit the same documents to KCC that you will take to your visa interview. Any differences between the documents you submit electronically to KCC and the originals you present at your visa interview could cause delays in processing or refusal of your visa application.
Do not mail paper documents to KCC. Any paper documents sent to KCC will be destroyed.
For more information on required documents, refer to the Department of State’s Diversity Visa webpage.
Documents Required for All Applicants:
• Copy of passport biodata page (no translation required)
• Birth certificate
• Military records for any applicant who has previously served in the military
• Police certificates for applicants 16 years of age or older from all required countries
• If you have been convicted of a crime, a certified copy of each court record and any prison record
Collect and submit your documents promptly. Your case will not be scheduled for a visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate until KCC has received and processed all required documents. Missing or illegible documents will delay processing of your case. Diversity visas are numerically limited and there is no guarantee a visa will be available. Only a consular officer can determine, at the time of the visa interview, if you are qualified to receive a Diversity Visa.
If you have questions about document submission, you may contact KCC at [email protected]. The KCC telephone number is 606-526-7500 (7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. EST).

May 29, 2019 at 20:33
No problem.
May 29, 2019 at 18:13
Hi Brit ! here my brother case no 2019AF46***, he had already sent the required docs twice (one week apart). The first time I called they said the DS is still processing, and today I just called to ask if they are satisfied with the documents, they responded that the DS is still processing, once done he will receive an email to ask him to upload the required documents. what should he does? waiting or wait a week again and resend the documents. please tell me what is the right thing to do?
thanks for your hard work, May God bless you and your family.
May 29, 2019 at 20:39
He can try again in a week or two.
May 29, 2019 at 21:57
got it. thank you
May 29, 2019 at 21:41
Hi brit ,at the field of occupation where says: does this job requires two years of experience or practise ? How to fill it ,since my job doesnt require that,and I qualify for the green card with university degree.
May 29, 2019 at 21:49
Answer honestly.
July 22, 2019 at 13:38
Hi there Brit!
Your help and commitment to this is greatly appreciated!
We have just been contacted by the KCC to send in supporting documents, not even a week ago. We are waiting for our police check to be posted out. Our number is very low xxxx90 OC. Are we guaranteed an interview as soon as we send in the documents, or do we need to act fast with this stage to even get an interview number? Your help is greatly appreciated!
July 22, 2019 at 13:59
If you delay sending your documents you will get an interview in a slightly later month. No big deal.
July 22, 2019 at 14:04
You’re a legend! Thank you for this. May I ask, are we guaranteed the interview (if all documents are clear of course) – because our number is low in the Oceania region?
Cheers mate, you’re help is invaluable! ?
July 22, 2019 at 14:10
“Guaranteed” is not a word I would use, but you’ll get it. The submission of documents is a formality. Relax.
May 30, 2019 at 07:18
Hi Brit ! I submited my ds -260 ,now how to know that kcc are satisfied with my ds form ,how long does it take to procced and what email do they send when everything is alright ,thanks
May 30, 2019 at 21:13
You need to quote your case number range (including year and region) to get an accurate answer.
May 31, 2019 at 09:50
My case number is 2020EU47xxx ,what do you think?
May 31, 2019 at 13:55
That is a very high number and you should not have submitted your DS260 yet. We will know more about your chances in a month or two.
May 30, 2019 at 09:05
Hi brit, at the occupation field when i fill ds -260 ,should i write category :BUSSINES ,since I work as a sales person in a company ? And second question can a afidavit person from USA sponsor both ,the principal applicant and his derivative? Thanks
May 30, 2019 at 21:16
No – you write sales person. Everyone that works for non government jobs is in Business!
Yes the sponsor covers the selectee and derivatives. Read my I-134 article in the FAQ.
May 30, 2019 at 11:16
Hello Brit ,at education field in ds form should i mention only the highest school finished in my case “UNIVERSITY “ or there are other field including previos schools like high school or primary school.thanks
May 30, 2019 at 21:20
You should include all secondary schools (typically from around age 12 and upwards).
May 30, 2019 at 16:10
Is this also applicable to those going through AOS?
May 30, 2019 at 21:27
No
May 30, 2019 at 16:29
Hi brit how to know if a US resident has enough incomes to sponsor the winners ,and another question : what was the highest case number Dv 2019 EU ,and did the dv2019 go current,thanks
May 30, 2019 at 21:28
1. Read the FAQ
2. 31XXX
3. Yes
May 31, 2019 at 09:53
Hi Brit ,when we will know highest case number in EU,and how many selectees are in dv2020?
May 31, 2019 at 13:56
The highest DV2020 EU numbers are around 60000. We will know more in the next couple of months.
May 31, 2019 at 10:03
Thank you so much for your kind reply. So as please let me be clear, my sponsor has $ 45000 annual income and he needs $ 15000 more to cover me my husband cost, hence is it acceptable if my sponsor shows his retirement account as well ?
May 31, 2019 at 14:01
No. It’s about INCOME.
May 31, 2019 at 10:48
Hi Brit 2 questions: 1.what was the highest case number in 2018EU 2.how long does it take KCC to verify my ds form 260 ,and to notify me that was a valid ds form or not?
May 31, 2019 at 14:02
1. Irrelevant.
2. It depends on your case number.
June 9, 2019 at 14:42
If you know the answer of the first question please answer ? I want to know just for curiosity ,thanks
June 9, 2019 at 19:55
You’re not even being clear – but anyway – I am very busy, too busy to satisfy curiosity for people.
June 9, 2019 at 14:45
If you know the highest case numbers in EU2018 ,please answer its just for curiosity. A million thanks Brit
July 14, 2019 at 08:49
Hi Brit , i have submitted my DS 260 2 times , the second time was to correct (add social media that i forgot to mention ) ;
—- 1 ) will this affect my ds 260 processing time (note that my CN is : 2020AF50*** ) .?!!
—- 2) when submiting the ds 260 i mentioned only that i have a university degree as a highest level of education ,,, should i reopen my ds 260 for the 3rd time and add my high school occupation ?
my thanks , nabi zakaria
July 14, 2019 at 15:05
1. No
2. Yes.
May 31, 2019 at 16:36
Hello Brit ,when i finished submission of ds form 260 ,I was not asked to submit photo of me .is that normal,when should i send them my photo or it will be at the time of the interview ,thanks.
May 31, 2019 at 19:25
Normal. Read the instructions please.
May 31, 2019 at 21:41
This is how it looked after submission: Your immigrant visa and alien registration application ds-260 was sent to KCC for review . Next steps :All diversity visas must :1. obtain required suporting civil documents.2. Obtain photographs that mert departament of state’s visa requirements 3. Review the information specific to U.S Embassy /Consulate General where your visa interview will occur. Please explain Brit if you can when should i sent photos and other documents and where ?
May 31, 2019 at 22:52
If you don’t post your case range (with year and region) I can’t answer correctly.
June 1, 2019 at 06:37
This is my case number 2020EU47xxx
June 1, 2019 at 13:29
So then you need to slow down. Your number is very high. You have at least a year to wait, and your number is possibly too high. If you have not sent your DS260 yet, don’t do that for now. Just wait a few months until we know more about numbers.
June 1, 2019 at 14:28
Does the ds form 260 requires photo submission of the applicant ? Thanks Brit
June 1, 2019 at 16:52
No
June 3, 2019 at 13:26
Hi Brit !!
I have submitted Ds260 a week ago.I found somewhere that , we have to submit scans document to the Kcc before the interview. Will they inform us to send scan documents before interview ? how time does it take to proceed ds260 and what about scan documents to be submitted ?
Thanks in advance Brit !!
June 3, 2019 at 14:26
You found out “somewhere”. You mean the article above?
The timing of you process depends on your case number.
June 3, 2019 at 16:01
Hi Brit
I received the following from KCC
Dear…..
KCC has completed processing of your DS-260 diversity visa applition form and the DS 260 of all family members.
In order to continue processing your case, you must submit electronic copies of your documents…………..
Brit…I had already sent my documents that was yesterday
I will like to know if I should resend them or not.
Thanks
June 3, 2019 at 18:28
No need if you sent yesterday, but check with them in a few days to see if they are satisfied.
June 3, 2019 at 20:37
Okay… thanks much
June 24, 2019 at 16:20
Hi Brit
I’m case number af44*** myds260 and documents are okay…so when can I can receive my second letter or interview ?
Thanks
June 25, 2019 at 00:26
September interview. 2NL next month.
June 3, 2019 at 16:34
Hello
My sponsor is retired, but he has yearly income about $70K (about 6K of pension every month). Is it okay to use him as a sponsor, or should I use his son instead, who is employed, and has much more income?
All the best.
June 3, 2019 at 20:09
Retired is OK – but the son may be simpler.
June 4, 2019 at 00:43
I got it Brit ..thanks for your kind help..
Mine is 2020As 304* .will my interview on this year or next year? thank you Simon
June 4, 2019 at 01:42
100% certain not in 2019.
Maybe 2020 – but that number is very high.
June 5, 2019 at 07:33
Hello Brit ,when you submit ds-260 ,how does KCC reviews and process the case ,by the method first come first served ,or do they start by first case numbers to the biggest 2.If someone with higher case number submitts ds form ,before someone with low number,which ds -260 will be reviewed firsr? Thanks very much
June 5, 2019 at 13:24
DS260s are processed in case number preference. BUT the order for document processing is not clear.
June 5, 2019 at 14:54
What does it mean “case number preference ” from first numbers and on ? ,sorry for not understanding brit

1.When we will know the number of selectees , 2. Knowing the number of selectees can we predict or know somehow if all the numbers will go current this year 3. Thank you very much for all these answers ,if everything goes all right I will make sure I make a good donation ,ciao Brit
June 5, 2019 at 16:38
1. Within a month or two.
2. Well it isn’t quite as simple as that. Let’s get the numbers and then talk…
June 6, 2019 at 11:42
Hi, Simon,
Please answer for the following questions
01. I’m one of DV 2020 selectees. My case no is 2020AS00022xxx. On last 21st of May , I have submitted DS 260. But still I didn’t receive any mail regarding the submitting the scan copies of the documents. Do they inform me to submit the scan copies of the documents or is it necessary to submit without informing?
02. There is one of my friends who has been selected in last year. Her case no is 2019AS00007xxx. She has submitted her DS 260 form three weeks before. She didn’t submit any scan copies of the documents since KCC didn’t inform yet. Is it necessary to submit her scan copies of the documents now (without informing)?
Thank you very much
Chaminda
June 6, 2019 at 13:54
1. It is FAR too early to submit documents, so don’t do anything. It could be a year before you submit, and your number is very high so you will have to wait to see if you even get a chance of interview.
2. She should contact KCC.
June 23, 2019 at 14:26
Hi Brit, I am Fidel from Angola cabinda city my name has been selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program for the fiscal year 2020 and my case number is 2020AFxxxx I have high school 12 years with Mathematics-physic course but my current job is repairing catering electric equipment and laundry equipment too I have got electricity certificate of profissional course six months . my worry is during me interview when consulate wil ask me to know about my current job and noticed is different to my high school course in this case how will I answer him ?
June 23, 2019 at 18:36
The truth. You are worrying for nothing.
June 8, 2019 at 18:31
Dear Simon, please help me with understanding a few things:
1. Can we send our supporting documents before KCC sends us a confirmation of them having reviewed our DS-260 forms and requests the docs? I have seen you suggest this to some people to speed up their process.
2. How long since a DS-260 have been submitted does it take for KCC to review it and request supporting docs?
3. Do they request supporting docs based on a case number, i.e., the smaller the number, the earlier they request the docs?
June 8, 2019 at 19:47
You have asked a lot of questions, but not told me your case number. What is it?
June 9, 2019 at 21:43
Because I’m interested in your general opinion, regardless of the case number, if that’s possible? Especially since the 2nd and 3rd questions are number-independent.
June 9, 2019 at 21:58
Don’t waste my time please. If I ask a clarifying question, just answer it.
June 10, 2019 at 23:48
Hi Brit! 1. How long does it take KCC to review documents submitted by applicant ,after they requested the documents ,and do they send an email declaring if they are satisified .2.If the applicant doesnt get the email for documents submission when is the best time to send documents ,taking in consideration the time that KCC needs for proccesing and visa bulletins order and the last question.3. Did the new procedure had good impact since it was released,in high case numbers processing and in speeding the interviews time ,taking in consideration the last dv2019 experience since you are familiar? Thanks brit
June 10, 2019 at 23:57
1. I don’t have a precise time. It will vary depending on what workload they have.
2. Again, I don’t have a precise advice. This procedure is new.
3. It has had an impact, yes. Nothing good.
June 11, 2019 at 07:30
What do you mean nothing good , I heard that all numbers went current
June 11, 2019 at 12:54
Some people will miss out this year because the new process is inefficient.
June 11, 2019 at 13:28
You mean , because with the new procedure , people that do not send documents ,or they send and the police certificate is not clear they dont get the chance for interview? But does this procedure somehow or little help to the people with high case numbers to be interviewed and that have all documents in order,taking in consideration the gap that create the cases that dont send documents ?thank you Brit very much and sorry if i ask these questions.
June 11, 2019 at 13:38
Well I suppose it helps some and not others…. but that is not how the lottery is supposed to work.
June 15, 2019 at 11:39
Hello Brit,First question with such case number 2020AF00021XXX for my Cousin will her interview be as soon as possible?Second question they did send in their first entrant as single status both of them is it compulsory they be married before going together for interview or if they do get married as they was planing to do before the DV result came out ? Third question,dose she the applicant and her boyfriend need to send in those same require documents after filling up the DS-260?Awaiting your respond..Thank you sir.
June 15, 2019 at 13:40
1. The number is OK – interview early 2020 probably.
2. They must be legally married before the interview (best idea is to marry before DS260 submission).
3. Yes
June 15, 2019 at 22:42
Hi Brit, when Kcc requires document submission if i dont have any case on court should i het the letter from the court that im clear or just from the police ,are car accidents records necesary for showing at the embassy and when will we know about number of selectees of dv2020 and chances of high case numbers .thanks
June 15, 2019 at 23:15
Ypou must read and follow the instructions specific to your country!
We wil know about selectees in a month or so.
June 17, 2019 at 08:45
Hi Simon,
My case number is 2019AF46xxx. I haven’t received the email requesting docs, and would like to submit in advance (I’m getting nervous now), but I haven’t received my long-form birth certificate yet (It’s been 9 months in waiting…)
I’m thinking of sending my short-form birth certificate (without my parent’s names) just to get an interview scheduled before it’s too late! But I’m concerned about sending the wrong doc/docs not matching at the interview. Do you think it’s a risk worth taking, given the high potential I won’t get an interview if I wait much longer?
June 17, 2019 at 13:59
You understand the risks and decision perfectly – you should decide. You must do something to expedite your birth cert though.
June 17, 2019 at 08:58
hi Brit, just want to know if the birth certificate should be a Certified English Translation, if it’s the original is in non-English native language
June 17, 2019 at 09:01
sorry Brit found it on your article
June 17, 2019 at 14:02
🙂
June 17, 2019 at 14:02
“All documents not in English, or in the official language of the country in which application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations. “
June 17, 2019 at 16:18
Hi brit ! when will we know if dv2020 will go current ,what your opinion? Thanks
June 17, 2019 at 16:27
July 2020.
We will know more in about a month, but it is like a painting that is revealed very slowly…
June 18, 2019 at 03:58
Hi Simon,
Could you please clarify whether “Copy of passport biodata page” means scanned image of the passport biodata page OR scanned image of a photocopy of the passport biodata page?
Thank you for your time!
June 18, 2019 at 05:41
What would be the point of that? Use some common sense.
June 23, 2019 at 08:34
Hey Brit, thanks for quick response. My case number is 2020AF12XXX, I have already submitted the DS260 form but haven’t received a mail requesting for my documents.
Please when possibly do you think I can be scheduled for an interview or probably be contacted ?
June 23, 2019 at 09:55
They might contact you for documents in a couple of months. Patience.
June 23, 2019 at 18:58
Brit,
I need a help from you regarding this situation
Regards
June 23, 2019 at 20:13
I can’t read your mind. You have to explain the question…
June 23, 2019 at 19:57
Hi brit what email does KCC sends when documents submited are ok ,what does the email contains ,and how long does it need to send it?
June 23, 2019 at 20:20
https://britsimonsays.com/communicating-kcc/
June 24, 2019 at 16:00
Greetings Brit
Kcc just sent me a mail saying records indicates bla bla……..
Can my interview be in August ?
June 25, 2019 at 00:24
No. September.
June 24, 2019 at 16:42
Hi Brit,
My case number is 2020AF000031xx I would like to if my Interview will be as soon as possible?
June 25, 2019 at 00:27
First you submit your DS260 – then you wait for them to ask for documents. Once they have process the DS260 and documents they will schedule you – but that will not be before October. Patience.
June 30, 2019 at 06:38
Hi brit ,my police certificate declares that Im clear and have no criminal past,should I also get also a court certificate that Im clear ,or the police certificate is enough ? Thanks
June 30, 2019 at 16:11
Normally the police cert is enough, but follow instructions for YOUR country.
June 30, 2019 at 09:34
Hello Birt,
My case number is 2020EU25XXX. I applied DS-260 in the middle of May, when might i get an e-mail requesting the documents and when the interview possibly might be?
June 30, 2019 at 16:15
A LONG time yet. You won’t hear anything until early 2020.
July 13, 2019 at 02:57
Hi Britsimon,
I have a quick question regarding the documents . Are these documents also required for someone who is processing his or her case through AOS and currently residing in the US ?

AOS cases do not need to file those documents with KCC.

Hi Simon. My Case Number is: 2019AF00039334. I was asked to submit all the necessary documents early July and I have received a mail acknowledging that my documents were correctly received,mid July. When do you think I will be called for interview. My worry is, I work outside the Country where my interview will be held. Asking to have an idea how and when to plan my leave. Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Mr Simon. Your posts have been of so much help to me so far. I just thought to thank you very much as I have now come to the end of my dv journey. It wouldn’t have been successful without u. May God bless you abundantly…

Hey Brit
So I just filled out my DS-260 for myself and my fam (I’m not the principal applicant, mom is). Anyways, everyone else’s signed just fine, got to the confirmation page and all. Mine doesn’t go beyond the sign page. I’m 22 right now but according to some age calculator tool thing I’m 19. I open the DS-1810 pdf link that’s provided, enter my case number, enter my passport number (I’ve rechecked it multiple times against my actual passport, and reentered the number multiple times in the answer-field; you’ll understand why I’m mentioning this later) and then the captcha but when I press on sign and submit the page comes back to the sign page, with a red arrow next to my passport number field.
There’s no error message, nothing. I must’ve rechecked the passport number I entered initially in the app against my passport against what I enter on the sign page some 50 times in one 30 min sitting just now. I used my laptop, phone and iPad and it still gave me the same result.
What do I do?
Best

So you seem to be confused. Are you 19 or 22? If you are 22 you are too old to be a derivative.

Hi Britsimon,i have just gotten to know that u are here educating people with what on the mind
i have a serious problem only God and u can help me;my wife is a winner of 2019 DV program, I just watch your video today that few day ago u posted that the DV 2019 program is coming to an end,the country we lived there

late,it took us one month plus to get our passport,it also take two weeks plus to get our police clearance
really we submitted our documents late,do we have a chance of appointment?
August 9, 2019 at 14:52
You don’t mention when you submitted the documents (which is essential to know), but the last DV2019 interview 2NLs have already been sent, so if you are not already scheduled, then you have missed your chance.
August 9, 2019 at 17:52
Hi britsimon, you announce this few day that the 2019 DV is coming to an end,and it may likely be few appointment letters coming up,we submitted very late due to some problem.has those appointment letters started coming up?
August 9, 2019 at 18:04
If you have not been scheduled by now, you are probably not going to be interviewed.

Waiting until your case number is current.
March 10, 2021 at 11:31
Greetings britsimon
I sent my documents but received an email that the attached document can’t be detected by the system. Please what can be the problem?
March 11, 2021 at 04:14
I don’t know.
Try sending the documents to another email account to see if the documents get attached and make sure the documents are nowhere close to the 30MB limit.
August 13, 2019 at 15:39
Hi Brit when submitting my DS260 I did a mistake on the address that is the person which am to live there in USA is there any problem with that??
August 13, 2019 at 15:42

August 13, 2019 at 16:06
If you have not already been scheduled for an interview you are too late. Did you send documents to KCC?
August 13, 2019 at 15:45
please this is my case number 2019AF00023021
August 14, 2019 at 14:49
What is your question?
August 13, 2019 at 16:32
When & where do we submit I-I34 form if needed? Is it during interview? Also if I am making 50K (10K loss in business) a year with $10 K in bank balance for family of 3? Do I need the sponsor or more in bank bal? I am assuming the minimum income is 34K for family of 3 . Just want to confirm. Thank you Simon.
August 13, 2019 at 17:49
Is that income being earned in the USA? If not, it’s useless.
I would recommend an I-134.
August 13, 2019 at 17:57
Yes, earned in USA. I can show tax return for last two year with $40K +wages
August 14, 2019 at 01:25
$40k “wages” might be OK.
