Congratulations DV2023 winners – here is important information for you

Hi Brit.

I sent my ds 260 in 22 may and after that i found an error , I requested to open my ds on 28 may and it opened on 4 june and i sent it the same day, then i found another error and i opened the ds again and i sent it on 10 june (last send.)
1- Do my messages annoy kcc? Will it affect the processing of my file disturb?
2- Will kcc approve my first dispatch date (22nd June) or my last (10th June)

As the passport rule does not apply now, is it ok if someone has entered with an expired/ invalid passport? Will this cause a problem? 2023 Oceania winner

Can I be rejected on the day of the interview because of the registration photo?

Thank you Brit for your continued advice. Can you advise that I do my interview in a third country since i am an asylum seeker and i understand that this is not a legal status so i cannot adjust from USA. My case number AF30xxx. DV selectee 2023, looking forward.

Hello Simon hw are you?
I have a one-character difference in the equivalence of names between a high school diploma and a passport.
Could this be a problem for me?
Or do you think that I should correct my name in the diplôma ?

Hi Brett. I hope you are in good health.
Mr. Brett, my Telegram account does not have a username, so I put my phone number in ds
Is this considered a mistake?

Thanks for the rich resources Brit. I was selected in DV 2023 with CN OC19**. I’m Nigerian but born in Australia. I have submitted DS 260 for self and spouse. I have 2 questions
1. Given that Nigeria wasn’t included in the lottery but will be my interview location, I am unclear on how to know the likely time for my interview scheduling or visa number becomes available… kinda feeling alone. There’s been delays scheduling non immigrant visas too.

2. I’ll also want to know if my CN is high and is an interview likely.

2. I have PhD scholarship offer and visa for Canada starting Sept 2023 and since the DV interviews will start in October, I’m wondering if you’ll advise I go for this or
defer, stay in Nigeria to wait for visa interview scheduling… Also in the longer term, will schooling in Canada allow me meet up with the physical presence needed to maintain my green card status in the US.

Hello BritSimon, please am dv lottery selectees, AF19*** am a bit confused here, my my passport bears the name Ann Barker which is the name given to me by my parents. My parents call me princess which like a nickname. On my marriage certificate, I have Ann Princess Barker. I recently swore affidavit and gazetted and my new name is Mrs. Ann princess Barker Rhule. Now my question is
1. There was a question ‘ have you ever used other names ie professional name, maiden name etc’ my answer was yes and I put my husband’s surname which is Rhule at other surnames. I then put Princess at other given names. Have I done the right thing?
2. If not, how should I do it?

Hi brit Simon
I am one of the selected from Africa 2023AF 16xxx,my question is
My ds260 I fill it in 17 may,but I fill my interview to be in nairobi kenya,currently for dv 2022 this embacci is very slow,can I exchange my interview to Kigali ruwanda,I am eritrean but currently I am refugee at uganda,

Hello and thank you in advance for any advice you can offer. My step-daughter is a DV 2023 winner. She is a resident of Belarus who had been living and working in Kiev Ukraine for 14 months at the time the war broke out and has since fled to Batumi, Georgia. In Ukraine she had a temporary residence permit – in Georgia, she has not found a way to establish temporary or permanent residence so far.

When we filled out her DS-260, we changed her Embassy from the assigned Warsaw location to Tbilisi, because we believe that is where she will be living for the knowable future. She/we are wondering if KCC is likely to honor her request to be interviewed in Tbilisi – or if they would more likely reassign her to Warsaw (where Belarusians are typically processed).

We are further concerned that she may be rejected by the Tbilisi embassy since she has not established official residency in that country. Have you seen any such similar situations that could lead you to suggest if she should attempt to change her embassy intentionally vs. waiting to see what KCC does?
