Hi everyone,
I mailed out my documents to KCC on Monday and realized afterwards that I had forgotten to attach my photos. Do you have any ideas how I can fix this? Should I mail a new set of documents with my photos? I was so sure I had everything in the envelope and looks like I didn't. I did email KCC but have yet to hear from them. They should receive the documents tomorrow.
I was selected for further processing of the Diversity Visa Program for the 2014 fiscal year. I applied from my country of origin (Cameroon, Africa) and was happy to see that my name had been picked among so many other applications! The KCC suggests to file as soon as possible for the paperwork. I would have started it on May 1st, but I am not sure I should. Here is why: I graduated from an US university about a year ago and came back home for a sabbatical year. I am to go back to US in July-August of this year to begin my Masters program. I will be applying for an F-1 visa and I don't think I can apply for an F-1 visa if I have already began on the DV procedure, can I? I have emailed KCC but all they said was that if I was in the US I could just apply for adjustment of status, which of course is not guaranteed since my local CIS office will have to determine if I am elegible for the AOS or not. If I am right, the processing of DV applications will not beging until October of 2013, date at which the fiscal year begins, and end in September of 2014, right? If that's true, then either way my application wouldn't be processed until october?
So the question I am asking is, should I mail the documents to KCC from my home country or should I just wait to already be in the US this summer to do it? Because applying from here, wouldn't that mean that i'll have to come back for my interview at my embassy, granted that KCC assigns me a visa interview date?
Also, when should i begin to check the via bulletin? And what category should I refer to on it?
Does someone know the answer to this? My husband is wrapping things up and soon will be on his way to the US so that we may begin our lives together. I had assumed that he needs to land at the airport closest to where we will be living which is Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. But, after checking the POE review, i see no listings for CLE (our airport). Is that because he can't land there or because no one has submitted a review for that port of entry? I'm so confused...sigh....
