Hello guys,

Today my visa was issued finally after a hard / unique  / long visa journey, and the reason why i'm writing this thread is to share my particular case because it can be helpful for others who might have a similar situation like mine.

I posted my first thread one year ago, Help me please, can we get married before ds260, i didn't know anything about the procedures of diversity visa back then, some people told me to avoid getting married because it can decrease the chances of your visas getting approved, they told me to wait for her to get there and she can later petition for you, but we didn't want to be separated like that, we were about to get married anyways here, so we decided to get married and hope for the best, also your replies were really important to us to take that decision.

+ we got married, we filled DS260, waited for the confirmation letter, but no response from KCC, even tho we sent the required documents and we received the automatic reply, in January we called KCC, they told us that they didn't receive anything, and they advised us to send a new email again, 3 days later we got the confirmation email, so, if someone doesn't receive his confirmation email, you got to call them to check.

+ our case number is 12k, we received the appointment date late, it was 16th of April, the interview went smooth, but the consular told us that we're missing a document, and told us that we're going to have a second interview, you can read the whole thing in this thread i think i have a rare case, it was rare, because I've never heard of something like that, so basically my wife was born in 95 and was registered in 2002, they wanted a justification for this delay of birth registration, we brought an affidavit from the place where her birth was registered.

+ fast forward, they fixed another appointment which was a second interview, it was in 30th of May, we went there and waited 3 hours, until the room was empty, they called us in different counters, they asked us questions about the relationship that every genuine couple could answer.

+ and finally, today the visa was issued, i'm really happy we finally overcame this full year of stress and frustration, i hope this thread would help someone because i know the mental and physical sufferings we went through,

thanks to Jojo92122, and SusieQQQ for their help, and i thank everyone who helped me and didn't mention !

a quick update : both status are the same now (ready) 

thank you guys for taking the time to reply, the reason why i'm confused, is that we don't have the same status, is this normal ?

Hey guys,

we our interview ( me and my spouse) 5 days ago, the consul told us that we will be notified when to pick up our passports, he kept them.

 when we checked the case status the other day at CEAC, it says READY for my wife (main applicant), while AP for me.

is this weird ? have anyone of you encountered the same issue or do you know someone who had ? 

have a wonderful day

Hey everyone,

me and my wife had our interview in april 16, everything went well, except that at the end of the interview, the consul gave us a white paper which has a highlighted document, he said that my wife's birth certificate, has a delay in the registration of birth (born in 1995, declared in 2002), and he asked her to provide a justification for this matter.

we are really confused, and we need your opinion because it matters to us.

my questions :

1 - what is the name of the required document ?

2 - if you were in my situation what would you do ?

note : when i check the status of our case, it says AP.

Thank you so much guys, i'll keep this thread updated for those who have a similar situation

Hello everyone,

I really need your help asap, so me and my girlfriend participated in dv 2019, and we both submitted that we were single back then, so recently, my girlfriend was selected, we were so happy, but also so frustrated because we don't know if it is possible to get married before submitting the ds260, is there any hope for us ? 

+ we know everything about each other.

+ i have WhatsApp - Messenger discussions proofs.

+ i have an online invoice of a gift i gave her in 2014, and she's still have it.

Thank you !
