Hi Simon,
So when I applied for the DV Lottery I used my current passport, when I filled out my DS-260 I used the same passport. However the passport will be expiring soon and I’ve already filed for a renewal. *Do you think once I get my new passport I should unlock my DS-260 and update my passport number or I should just leave it and email KCC explaining why the passport number has changed?*
I know you are required to inform KCC about a change in passport because of what it states in the DV Lottery instructions – will paste below
“13. What if my passport expires, or I lose it before I apply for a visa?
If your passport number changes for any reason, you will have to provide evidence of why it has changed to
the Department of State’s Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) before they will schedule your DV interview. If
you enter a false, inaccurate, or invalid passport number on your DV entry, you will be ineligible for a DV. We
suggest you make a legible photocopy of the passport you use for the entry and store it in a secure location
with your entry confirmation number (FAQ #27). A photocopy alone is not proof you entered a valid passport
number on your entry, but it can help you explain the situation. The final determination is made by the
Consular Officer at the time of your DV interview.”
I will have my old passport with me too so I can bring both passports to the interview as proof that I didn’t falsify information

Hello dear Brits,
Will the passport requirements be implemented again for the DV 2024?
Kind regards

Hi Brits.
Will the judgement of the DV2021 lawsuits impact all DV2021 selectees or just the plaintiffs. I ain’t part of the lawsuit though

Hi Simon
I am a green card holder from dv2021. I entered the US last year.
I have a question regarding a current situation.
At the time of the interview, I held (and still do) a dual citizenship from A and B.
I entered the US using passport A which had the paper green card on it.
Country A is currently having an ongoing investigation as to whether I am eligible to it’s citizenship and may revoke it.
Could that affect my green card?
Thank you
