Hello brit, I watched your last video but didn’t understand why EU might not go current. If we suppose there are 29K selectees with removing Russia’s extra selectees. Then if we assume there will be a 4K derivative growth, we get 33K selectees. %80 response rate with %20 unsuccessfulinterview rate (ap and refused), it still goes current. But of course there is not an error margin. What are your thoughts? Am I doing a big mistake in here?
Sincerely…
December 1, 2019 at 18:58
In previous articles and videos I have said that I thought EU would go current. BUT we cannot yet know the effect of the changes this year. There were more cases disqualified prior to the May announcement, which may lead to higher response and lower refusal rates ( because of better quality remaining cases). Then there is the new strategy of emailing all case numbers to ask for documents. This will have alerted some people that they were winners, that had not yet checked. So again, that is a factor that could increase response rates. I am not saying won’t go current, but the factors I mentioned could increase the risk of the region not being current. We can only wait and see what happens.

Good day Brit
We have been contacted by officials at USA Green Card Organisation in Miami Florida who are asking for payment of various amounts in US dollars. We have not actually completed a lottery entry but they have been phoning my wife to get her to pay funds across in order that they will enter the lottery for us. They say they are charging for various lawyers etc to speed up our chances of success but after two years of receiving some proof of lottery entry we now find they are asking for exorbitant amounts in order to “be successful”.
Your comments please
December 1, 2019 at 21:34
It’s very obviously a scam and you should not pay those people anything.
December 3, 2019 at 08:47
Dera Brit
In the form ds 260 I entered one e-mail but when sending documents I used another my
e-mail.
Is this may cause a problem? Or should I resend all the documents again from the same email that I entered in the form and got the confirmation from it?
December 3, 2019 at 15:25
No problem.
December 1, 2019 at 20:54
Hi brit,
What if i win dv lottery this year but for some reasons don’t apply for a visa? Will it affecting my chance if i want to apply in the next year? Thank you
December 1, 2019 at 21:35
No
December 1, 2019 at 22:01
Hello sir,I tried the case number without the zeros but am still getting the same thing that the case information does not match our record
December 1, 2019 at 22:48
good evening simon and thank you for framing people of the kind in fact i have questions about the dv here is my story i play the lottery unmarried and now i am married i mexplique i meet my wife in 2017 in december she was new in our company we got together in february 2018 and in june 2018 we were already living together i played dv in october 2018 and i got married after the results ie in june 2019 my wife already had a child who is not mine now that we are married it is my beaufils (note here that I do not go with my beaufils today my wife is pregnant and my questions are the following: 1 / is it the fact that my relationship is only 2 years with my wife poses a problem? 2 / Is it possible for us to be disqualified even if we have proof of our love before the game? 3 / Are there any particular conditions in For the sponsor for two people it is necessary that the sponsor is very rich 4 / as I originally played single without children and now that the woman of my life has a child I can put this child as my child (son son ) his problematic pose? I remind you that I do not want to ask for the child’s visa just my wife and I 5 / I have a sponsor who lives alone in a 2 bedroom apartment but he knows that now she has a couple at her house who will soon see what she has said is it good for us ???
December 1, 2019 at 23:27
1. No
2. Yes, but not likely.
3. You should read my I-134 article (and the FAQ).
4. You must list your stepson on both your DS260s, and the child could also get a GC if you complete a DS260 for the child.
5. This explanation is confused.
December 2, 2019 at 07:43
bjr simon I repeat the question 5 in fact the lady who will be my sponsor home already a couple of 3 people at home is what it disturbs (she said they will probably not be home when we arrive) I am from Africa (cameoun)
December 3, 2019 at 00:41
Honestly, you are still not making a lot of sense. Disturbs who? No one is going to the apartment to check who is living there now.
December 3, 2019 at 12:25
Hey, I’m from Cameroon too. We call all help each other
December 2, 2019 at 01:42
Hi Brit,
Thank you for you last two videos you posted recently. My question is more related to Russia region. As you already know it is a big number of selectees in Russia this year – 5,118, but according to the rule of no more than 7% of total Visa per country, it means there will be issued up to 3,825 visas (54,650*7%). Does it mean that we will most probably see a cutoff for Russia? And would it affect the other countries, if so?
Thanks!
P.S. if you find my same question in a different page, please ignor it (I posted it by mistake). Please respond to this one here. Thanks.
December 2, 2019 at 02:21
I think it is likely that Russia will not hit the 7% cap through non response, refusals and so on.
December 2, 2019 at 12:34
Thank you, Brit, for your thoughts!
December 2, 2019 at 02:47
Hi Simon,
I am going through the ‘After The Interview’ section on the Department of State website and I wanted to get clarification on the USCIS Immigrant Fee.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/diversity-visa-program-entry/diversity-visa-interview/diversity-visa-after-the-interview.html
“USCIS Immigrant Fee – You must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you receive your immigrant visa and before you travel to the United States.”
Do you know if this is an additional fee and therefore unrelated to the fee we paid at the consulate during our interview? Or does the fee paid at the interview cover this?
Thanks Simon!
December 2, 2019 at 04:32
It’s another fee of $220 per person. All covered in the FAQ section.
December 3, 2019 at 01:00
Thanks Simon!
December 2, 2019 at 06:20
Hi brit. My cn is AF63XXX. What might the aprox date for my interview date be based on the holes theory. I tried to calculate myself but I only got to spring time for my case. Whats your calculation.
December 3, 2019 at 00:40
Summer 2020.
December 2, 2019 at 08:56
hi Simon
I have received my Visa and now i want to change my US address. the sponsor we mentioned during the interview said he wont be able to host us for months. so i am going to my other relative. when do i change my sponsor and how??
December 3, 2019 at 00:42
You don’t change “sponsor” as such. You should change the US address, and you can do that at the POE as you enter the USA.
December 4, 2019 at 05:12
By that means i dont need to go my earlier sponsor’s address and shift to my relative later on. I can directly book the ticket at the place of my new relative.
December 2, 2019 at 09:21
Dear Mr. Brit
I am principal applicant and selectee for dv 2020 . I want to know should I submit my wife’s police clearance certificate ?
December 3, 2019 at 00:44
Yes – just as the instructions advise.
December 2, 2019 at 10:39
Hi Brit,
My case name is 2020AF63***.I submitted a DS260 in May and was asked to submit required documents in October. It has been six weeks already. Please when will I be interviewed?
December 3, 2019 at 00:45
Summer 2020. It does not matter that you submitted documents early, you still have to wait until your case is current.
December 2, 2019 at 10:43
Hi Mr Brit.
I was send my documents require from 18 October but I don’t have OK of Kcc. So I would like to know how can I write them.
December 3, 2019 at 00:47
Email them. You have the email address in your 1NL.
December 8, 2019 at 08:00
I Was email them. So there is their answer.
Thank you for your inquiry.
After sending documents to [email protected], you will receive an automatic reply to your email. If there are no attachments, the auto reply explains there are no documents attached to the email. If there are attachments, the auto reply explains we received your email and are currently processing your documents. Please allow time for processing of your documents. Documents are processed in numerical order, based on lottery rank number. Once KCC has processed your documents, we will let you know if anything is missing or if we have received everything needed.
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant’s full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
For additional information, please refer to the following websites:
December 8, 2019 at 08:02
Please does it normal ?
December 8, 2019 at 16:05
Of course.
December 9, 2019 at 13:04
Hi Mr Brit. Thank you for your answer.
What can I do now to know if my documents are OK please ?
December 2, 2019 at 10:52
thank you for your response
December 2, 2019 at 12:01

I kindly ask you to guide me for the further steps that I should do in order to fulfill your requirements.
I would like to inform you that I did not bring my bachelors degree to the interview,however I can send it anytime you need.

December 3, 2019 at 01:02
When they send the email – answer it to the best of your ability.
December 2, 2019 at 12:04
At the end of the interview the consul officer informed that they will send me an an email and asking some questions. Since that Time I am waiting for their emails,but have not got any emails yet,and I checked DHL sites,what I see is that they send me back my passport and I am not sure wether its with visa or not?
Because the estimated delivered time is Wednesday
December 3, 2019 at 02:17
I’m really smart, but I cannot guess what is in the DHL package to you.
December 2, 2019 at 15:47
Hello Simon , well I’m a winner from Syria , I have dual citizenship , but when I submitted I was only Syrian , now I’m using my other nationality passport to progress my application because of Trump ban you know ,I submitted my DS 260 , but now KCC want some documents unfortunately I tried to claim it from the Syrian embassy but they don’t give it from the embassy , ” birth certificate , and police cirtifcate ” , I tried also to bring them from Syria by a friend but he couldn’t bring them they refused , the only things I can provide is my passport biographic page and the police cirtifcate of my new country that’s all ,what should I do ?
December 3, 2019 at 02:22
You need the other documents. I don’t know of any way around that.
December 2, 2019 at 16:28
whilst filling out ds 260 The Page ( middle of the application ) got error msg stating ” ceac did not send any data…..Could you please …guide us to over come this problem…..was using chrome browser ….and tried firefox and explorer …couldnt be able to complete the task ..and .the issue still exits ..
Thanks.
December 3, 2019 at 02:24
Take out the leading zeros from the case number. Other than that, I don’t know.
December 3, 2019 at 07:36
I have had that problem many times in the middle of filling the form (I have not yet submitted it, I was just saving the data). Keep trying and don’t stay on the page too long, just enter the data as quickly as possible.
December 2, 2019 at 16:46
Hello Brit
I heard that too many people didn’t get to receive their 2nl nor their documents confirmation for January and because of that they will be schedule for February what do you think about that!
December 3, 2019 at 02:25
That is what I have been saying….
December 3, 2019 at 08:58
Now people say that it’s the fault of those who sent their documents, when they could wait. because of their high CN is that true! And what is this delay will affect those high CN in the future ?
Thanks
December 3, 2019 at 15:24
What people say that? Idiots?
December 2, 2019 at 18:02
Hello,
Google + does not exist, but it is still in the list of social media in DS260, I don’t remember my ID, but I had an account there? What should I do?
Do we need provide the whole URL to our social media profile, or just the ID?
Thank you
December 3, 2019 at 02:25
Do the best you can to answer the question asked.
December 2, 2019 at 18:25
Hi brit ??? i have a big appreciation and respect for your expert advices. In giving a name (lable) for my document to send to kcc, i made a mistake ( i wrote 2020af00034xxx…name, marriage pdf instaed of 2020af00034xxx name, marriage certificate original pdf) should i send again ???
thank you for your time !!!!!
December 3, 2019 at 02:26
No – that is not a problem.
December 2, 2019 at 22:03
Hi Britsimon
For the intended location city/state – can i change it during the appointment? Can I land in another location when i travel than the declared one if i changed my mind?
Thanks
December 3, 2019 at 02:37
Yes. Change the details at the POE to make sure your GC is delivered to the new address.
December 3, 2019 at 15:38
Thanks Simon. So that was for where I am planning to stay not just GC delivery. So If i said in DS i am going to NY but then ended up going to Boston instead. Is this ok?
December 3, 2019 at 16:45
Yes.
December 2, 2019 at 22:24
Hi
1. Why do we need sponser?
2. After moving to USA what role sponser do?
December 3, 2019 at 02:38
1. To assure America that you will not need public handouts.
2. That is up to you and the sponsor.

December 2, 2019 at 23:19
Hello Mr Simons, my question is when I submitted my ds260 I made a mistake in my mother’s birthday is that going to make a problem for me. Thank you
December 3, 2019 at 02:39
Only if your mother hears that you forgot her birthday.
December 3, 2019 at 12:54
?? you are a legend Brit
December 3, 2019 at 15:39
😀
December 3, 2019 at 21:59
hahaha that’s right thank you so much for your help now I am relieved
December 3, 2019 at 03:33
Hello Mr. Simon, my questions is what is the limit time to send my document to dv2020? Thanks
December 3, 2019 at 04:12
There is no precise limit – but consider May as the latest rough timeline.
December 3, 2019 at 05:53
Dear Simon,
I have only Iranian citizenship and curently residing in Canada and have Canadian temporary work permit. Do you know if I apply for USA tourist visa from Canada, I can get the visa, or the ban for Iranian is still in effect?
December 3, 2019 at 07:05
I only answer DV lottery questions.
December 3, 2019 at 06:00
Hi
We moved to USA 6 months ago but my spouse behavior is changing and having kind of fights between us. If I complain about this to our country embassy would that be a problem to our sponser?
December 3, 2019 at 07:04
No, but it has nothing to do with the embassy, unless your spouse works there.
December 3, 2019 at 13:34
Sir I am an dv lottery winner of 2020. In my country no one goes to serve in military that means we have not any documentation. My question is should I mention this in my email to kccdvdocuments with my documents??? I mean should I tell them that we have no military servce or document???
December 3, 2019 at 15:14
No. Just send the documents that are relevant to your case.
December 3, 2019 at 07:10
What a surprise that you are having marital problems. You have such a modern outlook…

December 3, 2019 at 07:34
Hi, I got my 2NL and have an appointment date and time listed on the Entrant Status Check website and it clearly states that “An appointment has been scheduled for you..”. But when I go to travel.state.gov -> Prepare for the interview section, it directs me to select the country/city and it has specific instructions for the specific embassy(in this case it’s Skopje, Macedonia). So over there, before instructing me to get the required medical exam and complete the pre-interview checklist, it lists as Step #1 the following: “Step 1: Register online: You need to register your appointment online”.
Am I right in assuming this is a generic page which deals with all types of immigrant visas and this step should be skipped when talking about Diversity visa, because an appointment has already been scheduled for me?
Thanks
December 3, 2019 at 15:27
Yes it is generic – but they are asking you to register the appointment you already have. Look carefully at the options with that in mind.
December 4, 2019 at 14:50
Yes, you’re right. I’ve dialed the main US Embassy number in Skopje and the recorded message said to have a look at mk.usembassy.gov, which is a separate website from the main one where we’re instructed to go. So over there there was a definite instruction to register the appointment. So for anyone else reading this, check the specific website for your country and read the info there, but you will probably need to register the appointment
December 3, 2019 at 09:12
Hi simon
I received an email from KCC to submit my documents
Should i send them both translated documents and documents in official language of my country?
Or send them just translated documents ??
December 3, 2019 at 15:24
Read the letter you received.
December 3, 2019 at 11:44
Dear Brit,
If my meeting is on consulate that is located at Arabic country, the Arabic documents should be translated to English or it’s OK to show to the consular the Arabic documents?
December 3, 2019 at 15:22
No need to translate. Reading the instructions would have told you that…
December 3, 2019 at 12:12
Hi simon I found mistake on my D’s 260 form about family information (father & mother) asking for date of birth& place of birth I put does not apply does it create aproblem or unlock my D’s form and correct???????
December 3, 2019 at 15:21
Correct it. It shows you can’t complete a simple form.
December 3, 2019 at 15:51
Thank simion i want to send required document to kcc tommorow my cn around 24 k it is possible to unlock the form at this time
December 3, 2019 at 16:47
When you give your number without a year and region, an angel dies.
Yes.
December 3, 2019 at 17:58
Sry simon 2020 AF 24k
December 4, 2019 at 03:15
So you will be current on the next VB, but because you are late in sending documents you will not be scheduled for February, but instead it will be March. So make any changes you need to make asap.
December 4, 2019 at 04:10
So first send the document today and ask kcc to unlock the form or first ask kcc to unlock the form and make some change then summit the document????
December 4, 2019 at 05:34
Either.
December 3, 2019 at 20:58
Hi Brit
Please how do you unlock your DS260 you have already submitted?
December 3, 2019 at 12:58
Brit Simon please I’m a dv lottery winner and today was my interview and I was denied on this on this premise.
“212(a)(5) which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone who does not qualify educationally or experientially for the diversity visa program or to those who fail to comply with the diversity visa program rules”
. However, I am currently in my 3rd year at University and I have my high school certificate and my three semesters university transcript. My high school certificate mistakenly has a wrong date of birth but I did an affidavit that shows that still it is mine.
But still I was denied the visa on the basis that I do not meet the academic requirement and also the consulate officer ticked on the sheet he gave me that I am ineligible for a waiver.
Please what should I do?
December 3, 2019 at 15:19
There is nothing you can do. The denial cannot be appealed. It may not be for education, it may be because you broke the rules in some way. That denial is generally used for a number of reasons.
December 3, 2019 at 17:51
Okay please
Thank you
But I think I wasn’t treated fairly they should have told me the reason.
December 3, 2019 at 21:05
Divine what is your case number?
December 4, 2019 at 03:13
Accra embassy see LOTS of fraudulent documents. They are suspicious because they have to be. So – they simply may not trust your documentation. But in any case, the denial is final, so all you can do is accept it and move on.
December 4, 2019 at 07:25
Okay thanks.
December 3, 2019 at 15:33
@ Divine which consulate did you interview at?
December 3, 2019 at 17:53
Accra please
December 3, 2019 at 19:47
@ Divine did u have an A-C6 in your English, Maths and any other 3 subject?
December 4, 2019 at 07:16
No please I had c5 in maths and geography.
December 4, 2019 at 09:55
Adwoa i think the problem is we filling the form with a university degree and not having a university certificate. I think transcript is different from certificate… i was told that a university degree can be A DIPLOMA . BACHELORS, MASTERS, PHD etc. and they dont accept transcript. few years ago a friend of mine had same issue. I WILL SUGGEST IF YOU ARE NOT DONE WITH UNIVERSITY WITH YOUR CERTIFICATE JUST FILL WITH HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA since thats the minimum requirement… Thank You… this is my view though
December 3, 2019 at 20:08
Mr Divine, can i get ur contact so that i can link up am also a DV winner but still waiting to be Interviewed
December 4, 2019 at 11:32
Divine, I’m sorry about your situation, but then, can you tell us how the issue of Public Charge was handled in your case. Did it come up at all or it was not in focus during your interview? And how did you prepare in terms of that?
December 4, 2019 at 20:28
No please I wasn’t asked any question with regards to that.
December 3, 2019 at 20:50
What did you select for your highest educational qualification…. high school diploma or university degree
December 4, 2019 at 10:53
Mr kwaku,i actually got E8 core maths in my wassce n wrote private n got D7 any knowledge about it.any chance
December 4, 2019 at 11:08
Bro all i hear them saying is pass … so i think if its PASS then D7-E8. it will be cool.. i dont really know much about that…Charley just try and see what God have for you…
I DONT REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT THOUGH..this is my view

Hello Brit,
Form I-134
What should be written for ‘item number’ when filling the additional information (part 7) for my 3rd Child ( Beneficiary’s Children). Page number is 2, part number is 2, but I’m confused with the ‘ item number’. Thanks.
December 3, 2019 at 15:18
THe question number for which you are sending more information. IN your case that would be a number between 1 to 7.
December 3, 2019 at 13:53
Hi Brit ,
I have sent my documents on 14 October as per KCc instruction and I waited more than 7weeks but I didn’t get any response them I sent email asking if they received my doc , but I received email asking to submit the doc Without delay , looks like they didn’t receive although I received auto reply for receiving the doc .
Shall I send it again or shall I call them ?
December 3, 2019 at 15:12
Well, the most important thing to do is check what you sent. It must be complete, exactly what they asked for. Then call them or send it again – either way.
December 4, 2019 at 00:13
@saleh same here. I also sent all the documents and send email and then I received email asking to submit the doc without delay. 😐
December 5, 2019 at 03:22
I called them and they told me to send it again , then I did and get reply that they inform me once my case is current !
December 3, 2019 at 14:57
Hi Simon i watched the 2 videos you posted about the update on dv2020 and i wanted to ask.
When you say that we will see cutoff in EU in countries other than Ukraine Uzbekistan and Russia is there an increased risk that Albania will cutoff for sure? Thanks
December 3, 2019 at 15:10
NOTHING is for sure. This year is going to be significantly different for the reasons I explain in the videos. We just don’t know how much the difference will impact the process.
December 3, 2019 at 18:51
Where can I find this video? I saw the latest one was about the healthcare proclamation blocked!
Thank you

Hi Brit,
What do you think about the chances for CN AS11XXX from Nepal.
Last VB only showed upto 6,500. Do you think holes are bigger in between and there are still good chances for case number like ours?
Thanks in advance.
December 3, 2019 at 16:44
It’s fine.
December 3, 2019 at 16:40
Good day Mr Brit Simon
I want to thank you for the advices you always give me ; I have send the documents request as you say I first received an auto reply(telling me they have received the docs ), then another email to confirm that all my docs are complete and should wait for an interview schedule.
In addition to the second email they was a paragraph that I did not understued here is it
“On October 4, 2019, the President issued Presidential Proclamation 9945 on the “Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare System.” For the most up to date information on how PP 9945 might affect your case, please visit https://travel.state.gov/healthcare.***
My question :does it concern the I-134 or I have and additional documents to submit? Thank you very much and again sorry for my English
December 3, 2019 at 16:49
You do need to prepare a financial case (I-134 or bank statements), BUT the Presidential Proclamation 9945 has been blocked by a court and is not in effect at this time – however it might come back later so read my recent articles about that and check again once you are scheduled.
December 3, 2019 at 23:15
Dear Brit,
How long does it take to review my DS 260 form I submitted NOVEMBER 2019. Am winner of DV 2020AF53***
NEBIYOU
December 6, 2019 at 04:10
That doesn’t matter. You have to wait until your case number is ready which will be a few more months.

I don’t know. But if you read the embassy specific instructions on the reciprocity page, you will get a better idea.

hi
how are you?
I called social security administration office regarding my ssn card as I have not received it after 3 weeks, even though I applied for it on my ds 260 form. They told me to visit local ssa office where is my registered address of residence in Suracuse NY as the only option. Could you please advise me: should I visit the local office of my registered address or I can visit any other ssa office near me in Buffalo for example as I live in Canada, Toronto and it is the closest to me.
thank you
Irada

Hi, I am from Venezuela. USAFIS called me and told me I was selected by a special drawing created by Trump for Venezuelans with college education. They are asking me to pay them $4182 and then I would go to Bogota, Colombia to the US embassy to finish the process and get the immigration VISA. Is this real?
December 4, 2019 at 05:35
Of course not!
December 4, 2019 at 06:40
Where can I report this? They are a company based in NY.
December 6, 2019 at 03:14
No one will take this up. Just be careful.

Hi Brit!
Thank you for replaying! I have again one question. My Case n. Is 2020AF69XXX. I didn’t got document submission requirest still, and i sent ds 260 form on nov 8 2019 so;
1, can you estimate my document submission time please?
2, how much is the limit of case number for Africans?
December 4, 2019 at 05:34
1. It doesn’t matter. You have a long time to wait anyway.
2. No one know for sure.

Hi Brit,
My case number is AF174** (hopefully will be scheduled for feb interview). I wanted to ask if a bank statement with $10000 will be sufficient for me (1person)without having to provide a I-134 form. I don’t have any other family member.
Thanks
December 4, 2019 at 05:33
Only the CO can decide that.
December 4, 2019 at 06:30
@Josie!
Just a quick one, have you submitted all your required documents?
I have also a case number AF176** and up to now I haven’t received the email asking for me to submit the required documents.
And since the case numbers are current for January am not sure if I will get an interview scheduled for February or March ??♂️.
December 4, 2019 at 08:44
Is it the e-mail that you used when registering? check also in spam. If not, I think you can send the documents directly to the KCC.
December 5, 2019 at 05:38
Hi Joseph,
I received the email sometimes back, sent documents and kcc replied saying that my documents were received and I should wait to be scheduled for interview. However, I took time to send the documents meaning despite being current for January I can’t get a january slot maybe February.

Hello brit,
My high school date of birth is wrong as compare to my birth certificate ut I did swear an affidavits n got it published per what the law requires,can it cause a denial (Accra)
December 4, 2019 at 11:02
please to my best of knowledge i think it can be a risk…. somewhere last year i watched an interview of a man i dont know if he is a minister or works with the US embassy. he was saying off-late the US embassy refuse a lot of people base slight errors in the spelling of NAMES like mine ASANTE which appears like ASANT without the E shows its a different name.. so with yours i think you can correct the one on your birth cert or the school cert to match each other , but dont forget they must correspond to all you have on your other documents.
this is my view though
December 6, 2019 at 03:15
Yes, in Accra there is suspicion with documents. Small issues are seen as signs of fraud, so denial is possible.

hello SIMON thanks for everything. I am Cameroonian I win at dv2020 my cn: 2020AF30xxx. I got married on July 20, 2019 with my girlfriend that I know since January 2018 (she is my big sister of 2 years old and we have solid proof of our relationship before May) she has a child who is now 9 years old Before she knew me, I received an email from Kentucky on October 21, 2019 to send my documents. I have a passport and my wife has not got it yet.I have not filled my ds260 yet and saw the VB I can be scheduled for March I have questions:
1- how long does Kentucky have to process a ds260 to schedule an appointment at the embassy (am I late in submitting my ds260 and when can I submit it to have my appointment in March)
2- in my ds260 to me one asks me if I have a child? (YES or NO) I have to click on “YES” because my wife has a child and enter the information of the daughter of my wife in my part of the ds260 or “NO” because I am not the biological father of this child?
3- my wife is a month pregnant today and she plans to give birth at u.s.a do you think that can be a problem for our visa?
4- What do you think is the deadline to submit my DS260 so that I can pass when my case is in VB?
December 6, 2019 at 03:30
1. It only takes a few weeks.
2. Answer yes – the child is your step daughter by marriage and therefore eligible as your derivative.
3. No – just make CERTAIN you plan to get healthcare insurance as a birth can be very costly.
4. Just do it as soon as you can.
December 4, 2019 at 14:24
Hi Brit— I have a big appreciation and respect for your expert advices.
My case name is 2020AF48***. I submitted a DS260 in June and was asked to submit required documents in October. It has been 6 weeks already. Please when will I be interviewed?
Thank you for your time !!!!!
December 6, 2019 at 03:31
Regardless of the 6 weeks mentioned, you will only be scheduled and interviewed when your number is current – which will probably be able 3 more visa bulletins.
December 4, 2019 at 14:47
Hey Brit
I had received email from kcc saying all required docs received. Then i unlocked ds forms and submitted again yesterday only. Today i received email from kcc and it says again that all required docs submitted and i should wait for notification about interview date. My case is current for january (eu92xxx). Do u think i can be schedulled for january or ds unlock may cause delay until february?
December 6, 2019 at 03:32
It certainly cannot be January. It will be February of March.
