In the DS260 there is a question about you receiving vaccinations in accordance with US law.
I selected No and gave the reason of me getting them prior to the embassy interview.
Will that be a problem since we’re not in normal times?
June 24, 2021 at 15:05
No problem.

Hi BritSimon,
My CN is EU89XX. I have recived ready for scheduling email 2 months ago.
1. Do you think it is ok that I haven’t recieved 2NL yet? Embassy in my region is operating and KCC schedule interviews there.
2. Do we still have august and september for interviews?
3. What would you suggest to do?
Thanks in advance!
June 24, 2021 at 15:06
Well MANY people will not get their interviews even though they are ready for scheduling. You might have a chance, and that chance will be improved if you are on a lawsuit, but other than that, all you can do is hope.

Hi sir . Appreciate all ur work .
I need advice . I am 2022 DC winner .divorced and my children live with their father.When filling the dv 260 I check the join me later for my children
( I misunderstood the “join me later” ) since I want to go alone and their father has full custody of them .and doesn’t want them to go with me . What do u advise me to do. How to amend that in my ds form .should I wait till the interview or should I notify the kcc befor that ?
June 28, 2021 at 21:42
Sounds like you did it right. The children will not emigrate, so only need to be listed on your DS260, but they do not require a ds260 of their own.
June 29, 2021 at 09:30
Thank u dearly for taking the time to reply.
So no need to send an explaining email for the kcc !
June 24, 2021 at 12:14
Hi brit, appreciate your work.
About the address questions on the ds-260. In my country the address format is like: Street A #23, between Street B and Street C, D neighborhood.
So, how do I turn that into Street Line 1 format?
Is it ok if I write that on spanish?
And also, If I’m currently on my 4th year at university, what should I put one the “diploma or degree exceeded” question on the school info, no degree (cause I don’t have It yet) or the one I should get ones i graduated?
Thanks
June 24, 2021 at 15:08
On the address, use your own judgement or ask the post office in your country.
Your current occupation is where you would list your current college attendance – not education completed.
June 24, 2021 at 13:17
Hi Brit,
I hope you are fine.
The spelling of my name in the education certificate is different from the name in my passport. Just by one letter.
Can this be a problem during interview?
Thanks.
June 24, 2021 at 15:09
Not normally a problem.
June 24, 2021 at 13:18
Hello,
I have forgot to put one country I’ve been to in the last 5 years, should I reopen my DS260 or this can be informed at the interview ?
how long does it take to reopen DS260?
Case: 2022EU7xxx
June 24, 2021 at 15:50
If it was just a vacation then it is a trivial matter, so just update that at the interview.
June 24, 2021 at 13:56
Hi simon
I am dv2022 cn 2022as7**
I hav completed my vocational school degree but unfortunately i fill my ds260 ticking high school diploma . Because I didn’t know that diploma degree from Australia called vocational school in USA??
What should i do now ?? Doest it effect on my visa??
Please help me with this
Thank you
June 24, 2021 at 15:53
I’m not sure you are using the word vocational correctly.
Vocational education/training means (typically) trade training toward some sort of skilled trade (plumbing, electrician etc).
If your diploma was general academic education (subjects such as math, English, history etc), then the education is academic NOT vocational.
June 24, 2021 at 20:14
Hi brit
Thanks for reply
Actually i have done diploma in commercial cookery.
1.Now which one i should have selected in ds260
a. High school diploma
b. Vocational school
2. Is there any chance i can check the education details i have provided while entering the lottery??
June 26, 2021 at 17:04
1 – b.
2. No, but the level you chose is unimportant.
June 24, 2021 at 15:08
Hello Brit
My father was born in west bank in 1960
and according to country eligible to participate in DV it was mentioned people born prior to 1967 in west bank are chargeable to jordan
So when i filled my ds260 and in family section about parents I answered my father was born in jordan
I don’t know which one is right? And if it’s not correct can we correct it at the interview since we are ready for scheduling?
June 24, 2021 at 15:54
It’s correct.
June 24, 2021 at 15:44
How long do the KCC take to reply to an email?
June 24, 2021 at 15:55
Hey Fofana
I have sent them an email 1 month ago and still no reply 🙁
June 24, 2021 at 15:55
A few days to a couple of weeks typically, but at the moment it seems random…
June 25, 2021 at 12:19
I’ve been emailing them every second day for 6 weeks and no replies 🙁
They have not answered their phone in months. I am so stressed.
June 24, 2021 at 16:55
Good morning sir,
Do you think that KCC this month will not send 2nl interviews? Because till now nothing was sent from kcc and still 5 days?
Thank you sir
June 26, 2021 at 16:49
Nonsense.
June 24, 2021 at 17:38
Hi Brit good day. I worn the lottery with my husband then I later gave birth in January and my ds260 cannot be unlocked for me to add the baby, they said I can do any changes on ds 260 only at the embassy .
-Should I go with the child for interview and his passport and medicals?
-Should I also hold the child visa fees ?
– my husband has no certificate ,will it affect my visa bcoz im the principal applicants.
Thanks
June 26, 2021 at 16:52
Are you DV2021? Have you been scheduled?
If you are scheduled you should contact the embassy and discuss it with them. Yes the baby will need medicals, fees and so on.
What certificate? Swimming? BE CLEAR.
June 24, 2021 at 17:56
Have you used any other email address in last five years?
And mistakely, I have choosen (No) option in DS260. However, I have been using 2 email addresses.
Also, I had used my next email address while filling dv application form last year.
Will that be a problem?
Should I unlock my ds260 and make correction on that?
June 24, 2021 at 18:47
hi Brit I greet you.
Thank you for such a beautiful spot to help us, I am one of the winners in 2022, when one question to ask, I am Ethiopian time to fill Dvga no passport, but he questions the extent of Dvga Can I ask Foam Can I fill out the Ds 260 now with my new passport?
June 26, 2021 at 17:00
No idea what you are asking.
June 26, 2021 at 16:57
Year, region, number.
June 24, 2021 at 18:01
Hi Simon,
2022AS20xxx. I submitted by DS 260 on May 9, 2021 but still haven’t heard back from them regarding by documents. Should I submit them regardless?
Also, I was born in Saudi Arabia but only have the Egyptian passport. I now live in Egypt and have no connection to Saudi Arabia anymore. I am chargeable to Saudi Arabia but my interview is supposed to be in Cairo is this fine? Should I try switching it to Saudi Arabia?
Finally, I am unable to get a criminal record from Saudi Arabia as they do not provide it to people living abroad.
Thanks in advance, really appreciate your page!
June 26, 2021 at 16:59
Your number means you will wait a year before any chance of interview so there is no point worrying about them not coming back about documents or what the status of the embassies will be by then.
June 24, 2021 at 18:51
Hi, Simon,
I have a question regarding to the parents’ names on the birth certificate are different from the DS260 which I put current name (father changed the first name and divorced mother changed back to maiden name). Should I prepare document to prove these name changes?
Thank you in advance.
June 26, 2021 at 17:03
No need
June 24, 2021 at 23:12
Hi simon,
In DS260 form i filled incorrect place of birth. My question is should i email for the correction to reopen ds260 or not.
June 26, 2021 at 17:05
Always give me the case number!
If DV2022, yes ask to unlock and correct. Not for DV2021.
June 25, 2021 at 00:15
Dear Mr. Brit

Hi Britsimon,
Am Dv2021Af9k, from Africa, south Sudan,
I would like to ask some question,
At first applied in curtis lawsuit, in June 2nd received 2nl before lawsuit judge’s fillings.
1. How can I get out from lawsuit?becoz am going for an interview July 9th.
2. Is there any way to quit?
June 25, 2021 at 07:33
You could have opted out by informing them before filing date of 6th June.
I doubt you can opt out now.
June 25, 2021 at 16:44
Hello Peter, It is late now. Lawsuit filed already.
June 26, 2021 at 17:10
Ask the lawyer. I would guess not.
June 26, 2021 at 20:05
Hi Peter, Is Kenya US embassy is hosting interview from other consular district such like South Sudan.I am asking because I have read in their website , “Interview from other consular district is not sheduled due to the pandemic.
Expect your answers.
And wish you luck in your interview
June 26, 2021 at 20:33
Thanks for asking,
South Sudan has no consular services,
from my first letter of selection,the post is Kenya.
And thanks
June 25, 2021 at 09:30
Dear Simon
Thank you for your valuable help from A to Z. Very grateful.
I have a few questions regarding the steps after getting the visa,
1- USCIS fee: on travel.state.gov it is said that one must pay the fee after receiving the visa and before getting to the USA. Would it be okay to pay the fee after arriving in the US? Does it change anything to the process ?
2-x rays: on the same website it says you must hand carry the x rays. I was not given the actual x-ray picture. In the immigration packet there is the medical report which summarises the x ray results. Is this enough to show at port of entry?
3-I will fly to Miami airport. From my country there are not direct flights so I have to first land in JFK then fly to Miami. My question is which one is then port of entry? does it take time for CBP official to approve entry?
I’m asking because I need to book the flight to miami and dont know how much time to allow between landing in JFK and taking off again to Miami based on CBP check time.
June 26, 2021 at 17:12
1. Before or after, doesn’t matter. Your GC might arrive faster if you pay before.
2. Yes
3. JFK – allow 3 hours minimum before connecting flight, 4 is better.

Hi Brit,
Thought I would give you an update and any readers in Sydney. (2021 OC)
Due to the covid lock down in Sydney, the consulate has cancelled all interviews (including my own) and will reschedule once its open.
Big issue for anyone hoping for an interview in Sydney as time definitely is running out.
June 25, 2021 at 12:17
When was your interview for Sam? I’m so stressed I’m running out of time. No interview yet 🙁
June 25, 2021 at 21:32
3rd Week of July.
All that were scheduled have been cancelled, know someone in first week. The email they sent shows some sort of priority for rescheduling as well.
June 26, 2021 at 17:16
THat sucks. I hope its a short lockdown. Sydney has been doing well.
June 26, 2021 at 23:53
2 weeks lock down to start with. If they continue to only schedule on a Tuesday, this will cut down the amount of interviews substantially.
June 27, 2021 at 03:15
Thanks for the update Sam! Great to be updated. I’m Sydney also patiently waiting interview! Fingers crossed for your rescheduling soon!
June 25, 2021 at 11:19

Good evening Brit,once again God bless you for your amazing efforts for DV winners.
Am 2020 DV winner waiting for judge Mehta to pass his judgment.
But i want to find out,how DOS were able to reserve the 9095 visas.
1Did they just reserve all the visas slots or they just reserved visas of people when case were read for schedule or those people whose visas were canceled
2 if the judge orders for the visas to be issued ,hiw it is going to be prioritised
June 26, 2021 at 17:20
1. The Judge told them to reserve 9095 visas, no instructions on how to implement that.

Sir I know you don’t like predictions but seeing Ghana update with Max 5000, will CN 7*** DQ December likely to receive 2nl in the next batch
June 26, 2021 at 17:18
Pointless to try and predict that.
But also, just because the max number is 5000, that does not mean all the cases under 5000 are scheduled…
June 25, 2021 at 15:07
Brit is that DV 2020 over?
Because I couldn’t get the interview schedule due to pandemic corona
June 26, 2021 at 17:19
In normal times, yes, but there is still an awaited decision in a court case. So – pay more attention to news about that here as you will have to act fast.

Hi Simon, Hope you are doing well. I am a winner of Green Card 2022. My No is AS000010XX. I was in Qatar from 2014 January to 2017 May. Should I state this information in DS 260 and I have Bank loan Arrears and Credit card Arrears in Qatar. Should I get the police clearance from Qatar and will the Loan or Credit cards dues affect my police clearance? Pls advice me. Still I didn’t submit my DS 260 yet. If I late in submitting my DS 260 affect the chances of getting VISA? Please advise.

The translations need to be send to kcc too or just for the interview?

June 26, 2021 at 17:24
There should be no need, but English translations are always helpful.
June 25, 2021 at 18:42
Hi Brit, hope you are doing well these days. I got a reply from KCC, which is slightly different from what they send me earlier. How would you interpret this? Can one assume that my documents , I send on Dec/2020, are processed and seems ok?
Today they wrote:
“Your DS-260 has been processed. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. Please refer to the visa bulletin at travel.state.gov to locate the current numbers being processed. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month. Once an interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check dvprogram.state.gov.”
In previous email I received on May 12, 2021:
“Your DS-260 has been processed. You should have received, or will soon receive, an email from the Kentucky Consular Center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing. Please follow the instructions in the email. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month. Once an interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check dvprogram.state.gov… ”
thanks a lot for you help, no matter how all this mess will end up 🙂

The difference in emails may not mean anything of significance – both are commonly used.
June 25, 2021 at 19:17
Hi Mr Brit Simon,
My question is, how does the KCC schedule interviews. For instance if the embassy of my country is working well & I am current & documentrily qualified will they schedule me. Or as my CN is Dv22 AF28k they will wait untill they reach my number and all cases before me are processed?
Thanks.
June 26, 2021 at 17:26
All case numbers are current, and therefore the same. However they seem to be moving in order in which cases became DQ – and that tends to favor lower case numbers.
June 25, 2021 at 22:14
Thank you Simon for answering me about the “Administrative Processing” on the YouTube live.
Kindly I to need to know if I couldn’t get the police certificate from in a gulf country due to a pending sentenced in absentia from 10 years ago because of an (incomplete bank loan case only!). The police certificate in my country is clean.. as I managed to get my wife’s police certificates and both of them are clean the original and the foreign country.
What could be the impact on the whole family case.
Thanks in advance, MID?

June 26, 2021 at 17:28
You must provide the police certs and if you fail to do so as the main applicant all of you will be denied. However, read the reciprocity page to see whether a police cert is expected for that country.
June 25, 2021 at 23:50
Hi Brit,
Once the cases are ready for scheduling, what determines how many cases are scheduled per embassy? Is that particular embassy request a set number from among the ready cases at nvc and then nvc forwards the cases? Or does nvc inform that embassy that a set number is available for that period and then embassy accepts that number of cases?
Thanks for the kind support as always!
Ahmad
June 26, 2021 at 17:30
THere is a prioritization that puts DV cases as a low priority. So each embassy will inform KCC of how many DV cases they can accept.
June 26, 2021 at 00:42
Hi
Nicolette’s new case (bade)was added to the hearing on the 19th, so there are 4 cases

Hello BritSimon,
One question. I won the 2022 DV and am currently under OPT so will just do AOS. My OPT expires on February but I can do the extension for 2 more years. Based on previous years I will be submitting my AOS documentation around Oct/November which is when I would have to submit the documents for my OPT extension.
1)Any suggestions on that? Just submit both documentation for AOS and OPT extension?
2) Since I am currently working, will the AOS affect my time able to work?
Thank you!

Hi Brit, my case number is 2022OC15XX. Due to second phase lockdown in my country, I’m not able to legally get married with my partner and proceed way forward in completing the DS260 form and submitting. I have few questions.
1. What are the chances of getting the green card visa when I’ll be submitting the DS260 form in the single status and later on after getting married legally adding my partner?
2. After the submission on a single status till what timeframe do I have to add my Partner?
3. What is the process involved in adding a Partner after the DS260 form has been submitted on a single status?
4. Adding a Partner later on, will that lessen my chances of getting the green card?

Hi BritSimon,
I am DV-2021 winner from Ethiopia. Here in Ethiopia US embassy was not closed even during the COVID pandemic. Based on the information from monthly VISA statistics the embassy is working and issuing many other visa categories. On the other hand, till now it only received and processing only 18 DV-2021 cases (as compared to more than 3000 DV-2021 winners). Our neighbour Kenya embassy was closed for long and opened few weeks ago and received more than 130 cases, Ghana embassy opened this week and received around 46 2NLs, etc. Thus, my question related to a very slow progress for DV-2021 winners from Ethiopia is;
1) Does KCC has country priority with in a given region for scheduling an interview?, or
2) Will it be related to VISA restrictions the US puts on our high officials related to the crises in Tigray region (Are we the victim of the tension between the countries?)
Thanks
June 26, 2021 at 17:50
The capacity is set by the embassy based on their available staff, local conditions and workload in other cases which have been prioritized higher than DV.
June 26, 2021 at 13:17
Hello Brit.I have been having my birth certificate since birth and it is hand written and it is the one i sent to KCC.However i obtained a new one which is typed.I want to take them both to the interview and will this cause a problem and visa denial. Thanks

1. My wife lived in Saudi Arabia, Riyad for 13 months, but now she is not living there. Does she need Police clearance from Riyad.2. Does her PCC case affect the whole family case? 2. Is I-134 form a must for my case?
Thank you sir

1. She needs to read the reciprocity page & instructions.
2. Depends whether she is the winner or not.
3. It varies by consulate, and by case.

Hey Simon!
We can see in the 2021 CEAC Data that cases up to 80k are being processed. Being CURRENT is indeed good for everyone (not so much for low case numbers though). Do you think that if it’s CURRENT then its only just up to the embassy that you’re potentially going to be interviewed at, and not case numbers?
I’m dv2022 winner so just want to learn something from 2021 processes.

I answer this question multiple times daily – you could have read some other questions – like this one…

Case numbers are supposed to control processing – but the government screwed up the documents procedure, therefore made everyone current. We don’t know if DV2022 will behave the same way.

HI Simon,
Thank you for all your videos: very helpful.
I have applied for the Führungszeugnis (German Police certificate), however the German office requires a letter from the institution that requested the certificate.
Should I contact KCC and ask them to provide a letter where they state why I am requesting this document?
Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you!

You need to follow the instructions on the reciprocity page. There are clear and detailed instructions there.

Hi Simon, Thank you for your prompt response.
The instructions on the reciprocity page have been followed, in fact the Federal Office of Justice has acknowledged my request. however they will not issue the certificate as they need a written request from the institution requesting the certification.

This does not sound right. Every person who is 16 years or older has a right to get it. There is no reason necessary. You probably made some mistake and requested some special version, which is IMHO not the one you need for immigration purposes.

They might be satisfied with your selection letter – but I don’t see that in the instructions.

The Dutch goverment has a similar requirement for an emigration police certificate. I showed them the 1NL (“you have been randomly selected…”), and they accepted that. Most likely whoever you were speaking to hasn’t ever had a DV case before, so don’t be afraid to push/persuade them.
