Is it too late to submit a ds-260 for someone selected for FY 2025? SA in 1200s.
December 4, 2024 at 16:07
No.
December 4, 2024 at 19:31
If you feel like answering, if the DS-260 is submitted this month how long do you think it’ll be until an interview in Panama? Do you think it will be faster because of having a US bachelor’s degree?
December 5, 2024 at 12:16
1. I don’t know.
2. No
December 5, 2024 at 02:39
Hi Sir, please 🙏.. I have a pending petition and I am also a Dv 2025 winner Af 39K. But I had reduction in my pending petition age. That was in January 2024, and I got selected in the lottery with my rightful age. Will that affect me during the interview? What do I need to do??
December 5, 2024 at 12:17
I think you are saying you lied about your age on another application. I can’t predict what impact, if any, that will cause.
December 4, 2024 at 06:01
Hi Simon,
2025OC6XX here. My number went current in Nov for Jan interview, but I haven’t received a 2NL yet. I submitted my DS260 in May 2024 and my interview location is Sydney. I’m not in a major hurry to be interviewed but am keen to ensure all is in order and progressing as it should be.
I understand no 2NL means either the DS260 is yet to be processed or the embassy does not have capacity. In this case do I wait until the 2nd half of December for a potential 2NL for Feb interview?
Given I submitted my DS260 quite early, would you suggest that I email KCC to check whether it has been processed? And/or email the embassy in Sydney?
Thanks Simon – really appreciate all the work you do.
December 4, 2024 at 13:13
You could email KCC if you like, but I imagine you would get a 2NL later this month for February interview.
December 4, 2024 at 03:32
Hello Brit,
Why does KCC take 7 months to announce the results of the randomised drawing and wouldn’t a lot more people get interviewed if results were announced the following month after entry closing (late December) and interviewing started in Jan instead of Sep?
December 4, 2024 at 13:12
Because they perform a lot of checks on the entries. It is what it is. The way it is run is a matter of law.
December 4, 2024 at 02:15
Hi Brit,
While filling for my LPR, I only wrote my Initial K. I was trying to do an enquiry through phone call and they requested my email. After one week they wrote me that I’m not the affected person, the receipt number provided doesn’t match the name Mohammed Karmoh Foday.
My legal name provided on my passport and visa Is Mohammed Karmoh Foday.
While filling my aunty Wrote Mohammed K. Foday! What could be the solutions?
December 4, 2024 at 13:11
I don’t know.
December 3, 2024 at 21:13
Hi Brit, I had my interview before I could get a medical exam (totally standard from my understanding). I got my medical exam back and submitted that along with my passport to the Sydney embassy about a week ago. I am just wondering if you, or anyone could give me an idea of what the wait time for additional processing is? I have contacted the embassy to ask and they told me 180 days which seems insane…
Let me know your thoughts
December 4, 2024 at 13:10
Generally within a week or two.
December 3, 2024 at 08:59
Hi Brit. I had a question. If my number is updated in the next buletin for February which is now will published in December. The email notification for 2NL can come as early as December or January for the interview date ,which is supposed to be March-April or come in February and onwards? Thanks for your help
December 3, 2024 at 10:31
February interviews are notified in December.
December 3, 2024 at 06:39
Hi Simon,
Is it mandatory to change current occupation in the submitted DS 260 if you are now currently employed?
December 3, 2024 at 10:31
No
December 2, 2024 at 21:17
Hello,
Some lawyers in Albania are stating that for the months of November, December, January there are no interviews scheduled in Albania. How accurate can this information be?
Is there any platform or someone sharing this information?
Thank you.
December 2, 2024 at 22:37
No one has accurate data. They are probably basing their statements on the cases they know of.
December 2, 2024 at 15:37
Dear Simon ,
I have two questions :
1. Is there any group in telegram or forum website that people share their experience or report different embassy performance for different nationalities . I am sure there are groups for some Africans or Asians for busy and common embassies but I’m referring to less busy embassies
2. In case if somone become current in coming VB , most likely the interview will take a place in Feb . Let’s say you become current soon , Can applicant email embassy and request for earlier interview date ( early in January ) just to avoid facing any potential travel ban by new administration . Have you seen someone get earlier interview date than the date she is assigned originally? What is the success rate of this request ?
Thanks
December 2, 2024 at 18:00
1. I don’t know
2. If you become current for February, you are not entitled to be issued a visa until February.
December 2, 2024 at 19:14
Hi Brits? Should the Host and the Sponsor come from the same State of you are to have two of them?and who determines the point of entry btn.the two?
December 2, 2024 at 22:34
No, they can be from different places.
December 2, 2024 at 12:38
Hello,
It has been 90 days since I came to US and still did not get green card. My situation is I have to go to Europe for work purpose after 2 months, and wondering if I can enter back to US without my green card. The police officer at airport told me that I can use my passport during a year and put a stamp on my passport. But on the stamp there is no signature. And validity date is my entrance date 9/3/2024 (not 1 year).
1) Can I reenter without green card
2) What should I do with green card, USCIS doesn’t answer phone calls.
Thank you!
December 2, 2024 at 14:42
1. Yes
2. Wait.
December 2, 2024 at 05:11
Simon, you mentioned in your YouTube videos that the new Trump administration could impose a travel ban on Islamic countries or tighten the overall process. You also mentioned that the next VBs could be quicker than expected. What impact could these scenarios have on a country like Nepal? Thank you.
December 2, 2024 at 14:40
Probably not very much impact, but I cannot precisely see the future unfortunately – so I will wait and see.
December 1, 2024 at 20:42
Hi BritSimon I am from Ethiopia 2025AF 32xxx what is my chance of getting interview ?
December 2, 2024 at 14:37
I don’t know yet. We need to see the CEAC data on January 1 to make any assessment.
December 1, 2024 at 18:08
If I voluntarily relinquish my green card (which I’ve had for 3 years), will I have any problems applying for ESTAs to visit the US 2-3 times a year? Will I need to wait before I can apply for an ESTA? Thanks!
December 2, 2024 at 14:35
I don’t know.
December 1, 2024 at 17:35
Hi Birt,
Firstly, Thank you for all your videos that have helped me a lot.
I got my visa and have’nt got SSN and GN. While I am waiting can I exit the country for a Visit and come back again? Also I wanted to know as soon as I get my GC, will I be able to join any Trade courses or University as the permanent resident cheaper than international students or will there be any adjustment time to enroll as an student for me to be applicable as an permanent resident.
Thank you so much for helping us all.
December 2, 2024 at 14:35
You can leave immediately.
The rules for who pays lower fees (as in state tuition is usually less than out of state or international) are set by each state or the school. So – check with them.
December 1, 2024 at 15:11
Hello. Mr, i have wife who won dv and she add me as her husband but now I’m at saudia arabia and she at Tanzania, can I be interviewed at saudia before her and get vissa approved or how it can be?
December 2, 2024 at 14:33
KCC will only arrange one interview – for the principal applicant. The derivatives are expected to attend that interview. IF you need a different interview, then you will have to arrange that for yourself, but it should be after the interview for the principal.
December 1, 2024 at 13:40
Hi Brit,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am planning to enter the U.S. by the end of December and need to update the address where I will receive my Green Card and Social Security Number. The address I initially provided in the DS-260 application is no longer applicable since I will be entering a different state than originally planned. Could you kindly advise me on the process for changing this address?
Additionally, I have another inquiry: Is it true that if the Green Card fee is paid before departure, it may lead to a quicker issuance of the Green Card compared to paying the fee a few days before departure? I would appreciate your advice on this matter as well.
All the best,
Basem
December 2, 2024 at 14:32
1. You will need to inform the officer at the POE that you need to update the address for mailing the greencard.
2. It is probably a little faster if you pay before entry.
December 1, 2024 at 11:37
Hi Brit Simon!
Do I have a possibility to check my DS-260 to know whether every information has been prefilled properly or not? And how do we know whether it has been processed or not?
Case number EU202534K
December 2, 2024 at 14:30
KCC won’t tell you whether the form has been correctly filled or not – that is up to you. However, you can email them and ask if the form is processed or not.
November 30, 2024 at 10:54
Hello brit! hope you’re having a wonderful morning.
We are currently in the process of filing for an SB-1 visa for my grandmother who is a permanent resident but broke her length of staying outside of the U.S.
In the form they are asking us to provide the date of departure from the U.S. which we have no records of since it has been over 4 years ago. What do you recommend we do in this situation?
November 30, 2024 at 12:20
I would give my best estimate for the month and year, choosing the 1st of the month
December 2, 2024 at 11:21
You can get the last 10 years travel history from https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/home
December 2, 2024 at 14:41
I don’t believe that is recorded for an LPR.
November 29, 2024 at 11:52
Hi Brit again, I have a question for you. If I get approved at my embassy, I know you said to unlock the green card as quick as possible. We are a family of 4, can I travel with my husband alone and not take the two girls in this trip? As parents we will be with unlocked green cards, do you think if there is a ban, we could have problems with them and their entry to the US? Because we are moving in June, it is just not to do two trips the 4 of us. Can you give me your point of view? Thank you.
November 30, 2024 at 08:46
That is possible, it is all a matter of how much risk you think you have and can tolerate. I don’t know for sure what actions, IF ANY, the Trump administration will take, and whether those actions would affect you. So you must decide for yourself. It’s a personal decision.
November 28, 2024 at 12:54
Hi,
I tried to fill out the DS260 but it keeps saying that the DV confirmation Number is wrong even when I put the case number in without the zeros.
What do I do?
November 29, 2024 at 09:24
Focus on what the message is exactly. If it says confirmation number is wrong I suggest you use the ESC page lost confirmation number link to retrieve your confirmation number and copy/paste it.
November 28, 2024 at 11:46
Hello Mr Simon,
My brother and his family passed the interview yesterday 11/27 and was given a blue paper with no verbal explanation. The blue paper says they are under 221g but no further document is required. My question now is, why after the interview their immigrant visa case number is not pulling in the CEAC.STATE.GOV when we try to check their status? But this number is pulling in the NVC page.
November 29, 2024 at 09:22
The CEAC system won’t give any status info until January 1.
November 28, 2024 at 11:18
Hi Simon
25eu9800, we have the interview appointment on 9th january.
My wife is 6 weeks pregnant, and our doctor said its not recommended to take the Xray for her.
As i read that xray is mandatory, but can be postponed must be done before entering the US. That part is not clear.
Can we go through the process and activate the greencard just we cannot move to the us before she has the xray or it will delay the whole process.
For sure we can have a written consent from our doctor. We are in low TB country (Switzerland).
Thank you
Adam
November 29, 2024 at 09:22
This will be something you should discuss with the panel physician. Generally what they do is use an abdominal shield for the baby, while xrays are taken for the lungs.
Other than that you can delay issuance of the visa but that will obviously create some risk depending on how late you leave it.
November 29, 2024 at 14:39
https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693.pdf
in section 8:
A. Tuberculosis (TB):
An initial screening test, an interferon gamma release assay (IGRA), is required for all applicants 2 years of age and older; for children under 2 years of age, see the Technical Instructions for Civil Surgeons. The civil surgeon will perform further evaluation if needed (chest X-ray).
(2) Initial Screening Test Result and Chest X-Ray Determinations:
☐ Chest X-ray not required (medically cleared for TB).
but from the FAQ (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/medical-examination-faqs.html)
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires that women who are pregnant and required to have a medical examination in connection with the issuance of a visa, and are examined in a country currently using the 2007 TB Technical Instructions must have a chest x-ray examination conducted. Pregnant women will have to provide the panel physician with consent to conduct the chest x-ray. For the health of the applicant and her unborn child, CDC instructs panel physicians and laboratories to provide abdominal and pelvic protection with double layer, wrap-around lead shields when they receive the chest radiographs.
so i assume , its not a must if the doctor not recommend it, but you cannot reject it by yourself.
what do you think?
November 30, 2024 at 08:47
In theory the doctor can decide what is or isn’t appropriate medically.
November 28, 2024 at 02:49
Dear Sir
My husband is a winner of dv lottery of Asia
We had interviewed in Abu Dhabi last week as my son is 20years and 8month old and they told us we should be checked administrative processing (ap). My son’s birthday is on April
If the process of ap takes longer time and visa will be issued after he becomes 21
Can he get the visa with us upon this circumstance?
Sincerely
Mitra
November 28, 2024 at 08:26
Yes, he will be protected by the CSPA. If the embassy gives you any difficulty with that, let me know, and I will explain how to fight it.
November 29, 2024 at 01:55
Thank you for your reply how can I know about status of my visa case should I email kcc or us embassy in Abu Dhabi
Should we fill any form for administrative processing because we didn’t get any email from embassy should we wait so they send me email as we have only three months
November 29, 2024 at 09:26
You can email them every few weeks. As for the “only have 3 months” – you are not paying attention to what I said. The child’s again is frozen by the CSPA.

Hi Simon, I’ve got the confirmation from KCC thru email that my interview location is changed from Ankara to Vienna but on the esc website I still see the post as Ankara. Will that info be updated until our case no becomes current? Since our case num is 2025eu26xxx what do you think about our chances of getting an interview? Thank you
November 27, 2024 at 15:06
They already told you it would not change, and I already told you that was normal. As for timing, you will have to wait and see.
November 27, 2024 at 09:39
Dear Simon,
I hope this message finds you well. I am originally from Pakistan but was born in Dubai, UAE, and I have registered for the Diversity Visa Lottery. Recently, I learned that individuals from Pakistan are not eligible for the lottery. Given that I am Pakistani by nationality but was born in Dubai, I would like to know if I win the lottery, would I be eligible to obtain a visa?
November 27, 2024 at 09:46
Eligibility is based on place of birth.
November 28, 2024 at 07:05
then I can get lottery visa in my Pakistani passport 😍😍 . thanks
November 27, 2024 at 04:58
Dear Brit,
I hope you are doing well and in good health. When we registered for the lottery, we used one email address, but when we filled out the DS-260 form, we used a different email. We received the confirmation successfully. Is this a problem, and should we inform KCC about this?
November 27, 2024 at 09:33
No problem
November 27, 2024 at 01:54
Hi Simon,
I would like to ask regarding with my current status. I won 2025 DV and I am planning to do AOS in the US. My Case number is 2025AS67xx. But my case is complicated. I asked to a couple of attorney but they do not know the solutions. I came to the US with F1 as a student on 2021. I applied the asylum on 2022 because of the political issue in my country but I did not terminate my F1. On February 2023, I applied the Special Student Relief Program under F1 which is the special program. I had worked with that EAD under SSR program until 2024. After 2024, my family business was unstable and my country is going to become worse than ever. Therefore, I applied Asylum EAD on January 2024 and I started working with Asylum EAD. I did not know that it is a violation of F1 and my F1 is effectively terminated since I started using my asylum EAD. I just know about it. I contacted to several attorney and all of them do not familiar with my case. I do not know what to do. Therefore, I applied the TPS on October and It is still pending. Could you please help me what should I do next? I do not wanna get denied letter from USCIS for 8 months of out of status. BUT I am still paying an international tuition fees and I am maintaining all 12 units full time requirements. I did not violate the other rules and laws. I did not stay unlawfully in the state. I stay lawfully since I came to the US.
November 27, 2024 at 09:28
You should be asking a competent lawyer. Don’t waste any time in doing any more research. I suggest you contact Jesse Bless – https://blesslitigation.com/
November 26, 2024 at 16:13
Hello BritSimon,
I wanted to ask if it’s true that the authorities started removing double registrations from the system since November 8, 2024, right after the end of the registration period.
Thank you
November 26, 2024 at 17:19
The assignment of case numbers goes first and then they start removing cases that are duplicates, bad photos and so on.
November 28, 2024 at 10:16
Do they also remove people those are married to several girls on entry?
November 28, 2024 at 13:17
I expect so, yes.
November 26, 2024 at 12:34
Hi Brit,
As a winner from Turkey with 2025eu26xxx case number, we decided to transfer our case to Vienna, Austria. We emailed them yesterday and they emailed us back as follows :”Based on the information you have provided, your interview location has been changed from Ankara, Turkey to Vienna, Austria. The new interview location will not appear on your DS-260 but will be used by KCC for scheduling purposes. When we have scheduled your interview, you will be required to log into the Entrant Status Check (ESC) to view your appointment notification. At that time, please verify that your appointment is scheduled for the correct post. If for any reason it is not, you may contact KCC again at [email protected].”
Should I be concerned that DS260 is not updated?
Thank you for your insights.
November 26, 2024 at 15:40
No. That is completely normal.
November 26, 2024 at 22:08
Is it also OK that even though I got the confirmation from KCC that my interview location is changed to Vienna on the esc website I still see the post as Ankara. Should that be updated before our case no becomes current? Also what do you think about our chances of getting an interview?
November 26, 2024 at 10:21
Hi Simon,
I was wondering if we know any details about the State Department’s thought process in advancing the CNs when the interview volumes are
low. Back in the COVID and Muslim Ban times as consulates got a low volume of interview scheduling requests, the DOS advanced the numbers to get more people scheduling. An alternative could have been that the DOS says “well, people won’t be able to get into the US due to the ban and the consulates can’t process more cases with their limited capacity due to COVID so there is
no point in advancing the CNs.” After all, they did say 55K visas are a maximum set by the Congress and there is no minimum regarding DV-2020. So they are clearly not too concerned about issuing all the 55K visas. Were there any press releases or guidance documents talking about CN progression when the volumes are low due to whatever reason? Thanks!
November 26, 2024 at 10:40
I have discussed this with the previous person responsible – BUT he retired a couple of years ago, so the new person may have their own ideas.
Sometimes low scheduling causes faster/higher VB movement, that certainly seems to be the case since the lawsuits. AF region going current wasn’t mathematically justified, but they did seem to be encouraging the best outcome possible. But you are correct, they are not penalized for underfilling the quotas, so we have to be cautious in assumptions.
November 25, 2024 at 12:10
Dear Sir, I’m AF14k
I received this email today
Your case number is now current for interview processing. If you are scheduled for an interview date, you will receive notification via email to check https://dvprogram.state.gov. If you need to make changes to your DS-260 you should contact the consular section where you will be interviewed, or bring the information about your changes to your interview appointment. Because your case is ready to be scheduled, KCC can no longer unlock your application.
1.does this mean i will get interview date anytime from now or it it gonna take another couple of months
November 25, 2024 at 13:16
It means your DS260 is processed, and your case number is current. However, the timing of your interview depends on your embassy performance, capacity, and backlog.
November 25, 2024 at 11:34
Hi Simon
Hope you are doing well. From Albania writting here. Quick question pls, are you aware if there is a specific time of the months KCC sends the 2NLs towards the DV winners ? I am quite confident with my number EU51**. Also it seems that here the embassy is scheduling cases for DV every 2 months. Feedback from other people is that so far there were interviews only for November, having October and December with 0. So hoping for a January one so far having the cases so far in Albania reached till around 3600.
Have a great day
November 25, 2024 at 13:15
We don’t have any hard data, only rumor. On January 1 we will have data.
November 25, 2024 at 06:54
Hey Simon!
Do we already know (more accurately than months ago) how high a case number is?
I have EU32xxx from Madrid embassy, and I was wondering my changes to pass to the interview.
Thanks!
November 25, 2024 at 13:12
That is still known to be quite high, BUT we will only know exactly on January 1.
November 25, 2024 at 05:13
Hey there, some people on the internet in several groups are talking about a new thing in DV 2025, some prescreening of documents or something. From the embassies before you enter the interview. Do you know what this is about and if this is the case for all embassies? I’m quite unsure what to do.
Thank you for an answer!
November 25, 2024 at 13:11
It is not the case for all embassies.
November 25, 2024 at 03:36
Hello Simon,
a while ago you mentioned in the Telegram channel that you would set up the possibility to mail the GC and documents to an adress hosted by you. If this is still current, when will one be able to take advantage of this? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
S.
November 25, 2024 at 13:10
I have the address ready. However, before I release it to a broader audience I want some “test runs”. If you are moving to the USA soon, and want to participate in a test run (at no cost), let me know. However, you must understand the potential downside that if they won’t deliver the envelopes for some reason, there would be some “hassle” getting the documents resent.
November 26, 2024 at 00:31
Thank you! I will consider to be a test run. I probably will become current in the next VB, therefore at least in theory my interview would be in February.
I understand what you mean. Is it like a PO Box? I’m not so familiar with all of this. I just heard that sometimes USCIS wont deliver GC to a PO Box. But opinions differ on that topic. Other than that I would not see a concern of no delivery, ofc I could be wrong.
November 26, 2024 at 09:01
Yes they won’t deliver to a PO Box, but this is a real address, and the provider has assured me they will get all official mail delivered.
November 24, 2024 at 09:26
Dear Simon,
Thank you for your content. I would like to ask you if you heard about Vilnius, Lithuania embassy moving to Stockholm, Sweden from 1st of December? In the press release, it was mentioned, that all the new cases will move there. Have you had any situation like that before? What do you think, will Lithuanian cases will be treated separately or put into the same pool? And in general, should I be worried about it? Also, any thoughts about my number – 2025EU37xxx. Possible for an interview?
November 24, 2024 at 22:35
Yes this is happening at Frankfurt too. Nothing to worry about.
Your case number though is very high, so it is risky.
November 24, 2024 at 09:01

The DS260 is processed.
November 23, 2024 at 20:13
Hi Simon is there any information on UK Visa lottery winners for 2025? Will the Visa bulletin be corrected to separate the UK from Europe? Many thanks David

There is no information about that.

Also, due to the situation in my country, I wasn’t able to get employment after college (its been few years now), would that be a problem during the interview (i do meet the education requirement however)

Not usually.

Dear Simon,
When choosing the AOS option, do you only need a police clearance check for your own country, or do you also need one for each U.S. state you have resided in?
November 23, 2024 at 13:45
In AOS you don’t need police certs at all.

Every other region VB has been updated significantly except Nepal, what could be the reason for that?
November 23, 2024 at 13:41
Nepal has a lot of selectees and all have low case numbers. SO they spread the work over the year.

Hey Simon
From my understanding 5500 people get selected for the DV lottery but how come I have a case of 62### am thinking that’s more than the green cards available?
Please help me understand.

Can i email my embassy inquiring after Kcc have already processed my ds260 through email as to the reason for delay after becoming current for 3 months no 2NL
November 23, 2024 at 09:03
You can ask, but they won’t say anything useful.

Hello Brit.
I am DV lottery 2025 winner and my case is AF202519xxx from Somalia. My interview embassy is Dar es Salam, Tanzania and I am current. I am in large Telegram group of Somali DV lottery 2025 winners, and there is no one of very low case number like 7xxx who does get 2NL from embassy? Did you recommend me to transfer to other embassy? Thanks in advance.
November 23, 2024 at 09:03
It is up to you. Personally I would wait to see what the embassy does.

Hello Brit.
I’m a DV 2025 selectee (family of six) from Sierra Leone. After significant delay in the issuance of one of my daughter’s passport by our country’s Immigration department, On Wednesday I decided to submit our DS260 forms, though we have still not yet received our daughter’s passport. In the document section of our daughter, I selected ‘other document’ since she doesn’t have a passport. 1. Any problem in doing that?
Again for that my same daughter, I have omitted one of the names in the DV lottery entry. Meaning that name will not be in the passport. However, listing my children in my DS260 form I forgot to ommit the name, but in her own DS260 form and my wife’s DS260 the name was ommited. Bear in mind that I’m the principal applicant. 2. Should I unlock and omitt the name in my DS260 form?
November 23, 2024 at 09:02
1. No problem.
2. The name should be the complete legal name.
November 24, 2024 at 16:08
Hi Brit
So what’s your advice?
1. After receiving the passport, should I unlock and provide her passport information or I should do it at the interview ?
2. Should I unlock my DS260 to correct the name or correct it at the interview?
November 24, 2024 at 22:36
Unlock it and correct it ASAP.

Hello Brit, Is there a limit to the number of times you can contact KCC?
November 22, 2024 at 08:04
No

Hello Brit,
1.
a. Would it be a problem if i entered with an ineligible photo in a prior lottery (dv2025) would it affect my dv2026 app and
b. does it mean if i was originally picked and got deselected due to photo i probably wont win again next year
2. can i contact kcc to know if my dv entry didnt win due to bad/incomplete entry forum
November 21, 2024 at 12:56
1. No problem.
2. No.

Hello Brit,
Is the draw completely random and does it recognize how many times you’ve applied in previous dv programs?
November 23, 2024 at 16:15
Completely random.
