US Immigration from Ghana

My sister won DV 2022,the passport number and expiring date are totally wrong, will this be a problem continuing with the process?

Please I will like to know what the next steps in the diversity lottery process are . Also , do we have to complete the next steps ASAP?

Hello,

I (petitioner) received a termination letter from the NVC today. Saying I hadn't completed the immigrant visa application, paid feed or submitted required documents.

When I contacted the NVC last year (March 2020) they said there was nothing to do until the application was sent to the embassy in Ghana. I having been checking on the application periodically, and it hadn't moved from NVC, but figured the hold up was due to COVID and there wasn't anything else for me to do.

Did I miss something? Any advice?

Thanks,

KateD

After U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the immigrant visa petition filed on your behalf, the U.S. Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) sent you instructions for:

Completing your immigrant visa application,

Paying fees, and

Submitting required documents.

Our records show that you did not submit these items and you have not contacted NVC in more than one year.

Immigrant visa applicants must apply for an immigrant visa within one year after they are notified that a visa number is available for them. Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires the U.S. Department of State to terminate the registration of any applicant who does not do so.

This letter serves as notice that a visa number is available for you.

If you do not pursue your immigrant visa application at NVC within one year of the date of this letter, the U.S. Department of State will begin the process of terminating your visa application.

Please inform NVC of your intentions by completing the Public Inquiry Form at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. In the Type your Question Below text box, please indicate ONE of the following:

1. Yes, I wish to pursue an immigrant visa, please send me information on applying for my immigrant visa. I understand I will have to resubmit all required fees and documents in order to continue the immigrant visa process.
2. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have adjusted status. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
3. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have received an immigrant visa through another petition and am now a permanent reside. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
4. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I am no longer interested in immigrating to the United States. Please attach a statement in writing directing that the petition be withdrawn. An authorized representative (the petitioner or attorney of record) must sign it. If an attorney or accredited representative submits the request, and an executed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative has not been filed; they must submit one with the written statement.
5. No, I do not wish to pursue my immigrant visa for a different reason (please provide explanation).

If you do not reply to this notice within one year of the date of this letter, your immigrant visa application will begin the termination process. If you have any questions, please contact NVC by following the instructions online at nvc.state.gov/ask.

Sincerely,

Director

National Visa Center

Yes, I was wondering this too. I thought the K3 was essentially dead and filing the I-129F didn't speed up adjudication of the I-130. That's what I remember reading about it, but maybe things have changed again?

Well I filed k3 along with my I130 petition, and I received a receipt for just the i129f petition.

My partner and I were DQ'd on May 19th, 2020. I've heard that Ghana is still rescheduling cancelled interviews from March/April 2020, so I assume we're still a few months out from an interview (which just plain sucks).

Since we were DQ'd on financials and information from almost a year ago, is there precedent for being asked to resubmit forms, or should he just show up to the interview with up-to-date tax returns, my paystubs/work contract and such? Anyone in a similar boat with insight?
