2NLs are starting to be sent for January interviews (DV2019).
They have implemented the new document procedure recently, so I would be interested to hear from those that got the 2NL if they did or did NOT send documents to KCC by email. The suggestion was that not sending documents would mean KCC would not schedule the appointment, but I would like to confirm whether that is true or not.
Some people previously got 2NL emails but then had to wait days or even a couple of weeks before the interview letter showed on the ESC page. Other people waited until the beginning of the following month to get their 2NLs and ESC page update. So – be patient, stay calm. Some physicians won’t schedule the medicals unless you have the 2NL in hand, BUT there is plenty of time before these interviews, no need to stress out!
The email itself has no useful information. It simply tells you to check the ESC site for the interview details. Some people that receive the email will find the ESC site is not ready, those people should try again after a few hours. Also, some people find the email itself goes to a trash or spam folder or somehow miss it. So – if you think you may have been scheduled but missed your email, you can check the ESC site, just in case. The 1NL (you have been selected letter) is replaced by a new letter which gives the appointment details.
November 28, 2018 at 15:32
Waiting anxiously. Please brit do derivatives get the letter too or only the principal?
If only the principal will the derivative be included in the letter? Ds260 was filled submitted for both parties and got a submitted letter from kcc
November 28, 2018 at 17:03
Just the principal. The interview will include the derivatives.
November 28, 2018 at 15:39
Yes same here.

Nothing here – AS33xx, Documents submitted two days after been required.
November 28, 2018 at 19:06
Hi Britts.
Me and husband will sell one of our property and get 20000$.can the officer still ask for I 134. we have an address from friend but he has not green card or citizenship to support u’s we decided to use our own cash. But listed him as host in the DS 260.is he required to file I 134 as his name is in our application
November 28, 2018 at 19:55
Yes, the CO can ask you for an I-134. They can ask you to jump up and down barking like a dog if they want. As to whether your CO will ask for the I-134 – I don’t know.
November 28, 2018 at 19:11
Hello.What happens if my wife gI’ve birth after interview .can I get appointment for new born.I expect interview in July and my wife due date is July. I can’t push the appointment if ever get it bcoz the DV ll almost be over
November 28, 2018 at 19:55
Please read the FAQ about adding a newborn.
November 28, 2018 at 19:34
Hello Brit, im from Cameroon. Wish to find out if im supposed to do police record for my children too. The oldest is 14 years now.
November 28, 2018 at 19:46
On the “documents required” it says:
“Which Applicants Need to Submit a Police Certificate
Each applicant aged 16 years or older must submit all required police certificates.”

November 29, 2018 at 12:38
I’ m from cameroon too
November 28, 2018 at 21:39
i am very confused. My CN is 75xx. Yesterday I have heard some people with CN 8xxx had received 2NLs and their’s interviews are at 3rd january. Today I am still waiting for my 2NL. Do you know anything about how they determine the interviews? Randomly or ordered by case numbers? I am asking because if they don’t do this operation randomly, we can say our interview will be at 2nd january. Is this a normal process?
November 28, 2018 at 21:55
Yes it’s a normal process. Once your case is current they will try to schedule it, but if another case is also current, that case might be scheduled before your case. So – you just need to remain patient and not worry about other cases being scheduled ahead of yours.
November 28, 2018 at 22:02
Dear Brit, please is it a must to have I-134 to support your stay because i don’t see in the requirement list. I’m AF16 , xxx, hopefully to be scheduled in Feb 2019. i just want to know if i need to let my host send me this I-134
November 28, 2018 at 22:07
https://britsimonsays.com/all-about-public-charge-affidavit-of-support-i-134/
November 28, 2018 at 22:53
Thank you Brit . Please last question , if my wife is the principal applicant who won and i’m the derivatives – spouse but we cant get I-134 from our current host we used to fill the d-260 form but i the husband has a job offer in the usa , will that be okay to cover all of us instead of getting the I-134?
November 29, 2018 at 00:17
Possibly. However, job offers are generally suspicious because US employers would not want to hire someone before they are local. So – only show a job offer if it is 100% genuine.
November 28, 2018 at 23:09
Great news even though some of us are yet to receive the 2NL. Please my good people it will be really nice if those who have received continue to update us like Mr Brit is saying above .
November 28, 2018 at 23:13
Britsimonsay hi.Has ever happened in DV to not reach Case number 35000 for AF. I checked many previous didn’t see and some at a point would show current. Do u know any year DV hasn’t reached 35000 for africa
November 29, 2018 at 00:19
You have the same data I have in the historical VB numbers linked above.
November 29, 2018 at 00:47
I contacted KCC and i asked them that my case for dv 2018 was pending last June but i have not yet been scheduled ,she said there will be some important change in DV and said to me to be careful and be cautious ,i asked also the embassy they said also i need to be cautious,i think there will be really some modifications for DV in general ,your expectations please ?
Thanks you .
November 29, 2018 at 04:25
Do you really mean DV2018? That year is closed.
November 29, 2018 at 06:07
There are already some changes in DV system with asking documentation.However, we don’t know anyting how they are processing this. We will see in next two months I think that but how they can say you about patience for DV2018. It is done already.
November 29, 2018 at 06:14
Hi Brit
My case number is EU73XX
I got an email requesting additional documents a while back but it took a long time to obtain them so I submitted them only on the 27th. Can I still be scheduled for January?
November 29, 2018 at 06:19
I accidentally put my real name with google aurofill please do not make this comment public
November 29, 2018 at 14:20
I don’t know. You will know within a couple of days.
November 29, 2018 at 13:24
Hi Brits,I want to ask you a question.Why is it that Trump vowing to cancel the DV with his cohorts could not get it out?After trying even harder to write a different requirements which would make it very difficult for applicants to apply.
Is he still having a meeting to get it out finally by 2020 or what?
November 29, 2018 at 14:27
I really cannot be bothered to answer questions about every idiotic idea Trump has. Don’t listen to him.
November 29, 2018 at 18:11
Hi,
based on the comments nobody has received a 2nd notification letter for January.
Did anybody reach out to KCC to track or find the real reason what is going on?
what are the prognosis?
November 29, 2018 at 21:24
Nonsense. People HAVE reported they have received 2NLs.
November 29, 2018 at 21:51
as per my research nobody has received the 2NLs up to date by looking at all regions especially Europe and Africa with other sources in the Internet.
if there was anybody then they would ask a question here how to prepare next for January interview. does it make sense?
The new rules and all made it complicated through 01/2019 is the first months of the year. and it is very very strange that nobody has recieved in fact an interview schedule.
Maybe tomorrow is the last date of November make some more news, if not then its time to be worried about all the program which in past never happened.
November 30, 2018 at 00:07
Albania 8000 has received 2NL FOR JANUARY INTERVIEW
November 30, 2018 at 03:20
What research???? PLEASE!
It is clear there are cases scheduled from each region. However,. the new process might have reduced interviews. That was OBVIOUS, but I also explained it previously. Now – show some patience as the month isn’t even over yet.
November 29, 2018 at 21:27
I have called kcc. They asked me my information(cn name birth date) after that she said you had completed all required actions. You must wait for your 2nl. They didn’t give me any other detailed explanation.
November 29, 2018 at 18:13
Dear Brit, ıam from turkey. And my number is started with 6xxx, we should be called for Janunary interviews. However ı could not get 2nl yet. I has been a two weeks . Iam little anxious?
November 29, 2018 at 21:24
Patience.
November 29, 2018 at 18:15
Dear Simon, I’m from Ukraine and my Case number 2019EU00007*** and current for month January 2019. I have sent scan copies to KCC on 06.11 and received answer on 16.11 “Records indicate you have submitted a complete and valid DS-260 application for each family member, and you have provided all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing.”
But for this moment I still haven’t receive any appointment for interview. How do you think, can I receive appointment for January 2019 in December 2018 or should I mail to KCC message about my appointment for interview? Regular I’m checking ESC page but no any changes for this moment. Thank you
November 29, 2018 at 21:25
So you just need to be patient.
November 30, 2018 at 03:09
Be patient until the end of November. Once November is over they will not schedule more January interviews, so others will be in February. PATIENCE.
December 1, 2018 at 10:16
Hi,
My CN is 11XXX if you agree to what you just write since I have not yet received an email for the interview I would not be scheduled for January ??? but rather for February if I understood correctly
November 29, 2018 at 20:44
Yes Sir ,i mean DV2018 , i think there will be some changes that are not known ,even the us consulate administrator said to me do i have high school diploma ,i said yes so she said no worries and keep cautious.
We are hoping some positive changes ,we do not know what will happen in the future .
November 29, 2018 at 21:25
as Simon already said DV2018 is closed, it finished in September this year so if you were selected in that year you will not be processed.
Completing High School is already a requirement for obtaining a green card through this process so being asked that by the person you spoke to is irrelevant.
I’m not sure what positive changes you think are coming but you are right about one thing – no one knows what will happen in the future!
November 30, 2018 at 03:14
Again. Last time. DV2018 is OVER.
November 29, 2018 at 22:41
Hi Brit…what’s your take on this delay as some of us are getting worried because no known case from AF has received his or her 2NL?
November 30, 2018 at 02:04
Not just Africa is getting 2NL nor Asia has received any 2NL. Brit there is no other up to date blog than Yours on DV. People love u and asked this tiny question. We all are worried that’s y asking these types of questions. I am also checking your website more than 100 times for the update. Could u please further research that what’s going on in KCC?
November 30, 2018 at 03:21
It is clear there are cases scheduled from each region. However,. the new process might have reduced interviews. That was OBVIOUS, but I also explained it previously. Now – show some patience as the month isn’t even over yet.
November 30, 2018 at 09:28
Dear Brit Is it possible that a person is current for January Interviews as per VB and completed all the formalities and his interview could be scheduled for FEB or March by KCC or it will be in January only.
November 30, 2018 at 15:07
It can be later.
November 30, 2018 at 14:46
Hello
Is the email from KCC about the documents being sent according to the case number that are current or its just randomly sent?Thanks
November 30, 2018 at 15:08
We don’t know the specifics, but it is sent to all number ranges.
November 30, 2018 at 16:46
Thanks
November 30, 2018 at 15:16
Hi ! Brit, Our case number is EU66XX and as of this date no 2NL is received as yet. What does it imply? Please help.
November 30, 2018 at 18:02
did you contact KCC by phone or email. (phone will be a better way now for such inquiry)? as per the fact Brit cannot respond due to the moment that nobody has received 2NL letters for January, I think some people misinforming everybody here that they might receive any letter from them.
I suggest to contact KCC and mention that according to VB your case is current and why you don’t have a case update… there should be a respond from them due to the fact that your case should be scheduled as early as possible in early January.
and kindly inform/publish what will be the outcome?
November 30, 2018 at 19:09
Thanks for the suggestion Walt but I’ll wait for Brit.
December 1, 2018 at 03:28
I am getting sick and tired of seeing you say “nobody has received 2NLs”. I have told you already, that is not true (I have has several people say they have received their 2NLs). I have explained why things will be delayed. There is a new process. CALM THE HECK DOWN! Stop posting this BS as a result of your “research”.
November 30, 2018 at 19:15
Hi, my CN is 75xx. At least i have called KCC. They said everything is ok, you must check dvlottery.state.gov at 15th december again. They didnt give any other information.
December 1, 2018 at 03:24
1. When did you submit your DS260?
2. Did you receive an email asking for documents to be sent to KCC? If yes, when did you send them?
November 30, 2018 at 19:28
Hi dear Simon and all users of this wonderful website.
We are all worried about that matter (being current but no 2NL until today , the last day of November. I have received the same email twice from KCC “Records indicate you have submitted a complete and valid DS-260 application for each family member, and you have provided all require ….”
As Simon said we have to be patient . They are working on it .please you guys who got the 2NL let us know
November 30, 2018 at 20:38
2NL is keeping most people waiting better come nw. I wish everybody well.
November 30, 2018 at 20:44
Thank’s my dear
December 1, 2018 at 02:21
My case is AS16** . Although i m still waiting for 2NL. Now its december. Sir when will i get it even my case is current for january..
December 1, 2018 at 03:36
I don’t know when. But I doubt your interview will be in January. They will probably schedule you for February.
December 1, 2018 at 06:37
Submitted DS260 on May 21. Recived email to submit documents to KCC on Nov 3 . Submitted on Nov 11 and on Nov 19 recived the email that states “you have provided valid DS260 and all documentation interview will be schedule based on … …. “
Please correct me . The visa bulletin of December for Nepal means from CASE 1500-2150 will be interviewing in January.
Why you doubt it will not be schedule in January ?
December 1, 2018 at 07:05
Because January interviews have already been scheduled.
December 5, 2018 at 08:07
Because they cannot give you less than a month also to prepare for the interview. going for medicals etc.
December 10, 2018 at 21:15
Mine is also AS17** . i also have same thing. no interview yet.
December 10, 2018 at 23:22
Pratima,when did you apply DS-260?
December 10, 2018 at 23:24
Rjay,when did you apply DS-260?
December 1, 2018 at 06:39
Hi Brit, have you ever heard about late process about 2NL? Is it normal that January interviews will be sent till december 15 for some people?
December 1, 2018 at 07:07
No, they will schedule those delayed cases as February interviews.
December 1, 2018 at 07:03
Yesterday, I have called to KCC about interview. They answered that they did not have enough time to finish processing my scan copies and my interview most probably will be scheduled for February. For January interviews they already done. My Case number EU7*** DS 260 submitted in May 2018 and scan copies on 06.11
December 1, 2018 at 07:23
This means that KCC is not following VB as many of us who are current in Jan still not received 2NL and you said that interviews are already been scheduled. Do u find anyone who received 2NL for January.
December 1, 2018 at 16:37
For the 50th time, YES.
December 1, 2018 at 07:35
Hi Brit ,i think we should have patient and wait for the outcome from KCC. As some case members have called them to find out about the delaying process.i will use this platform to urge all dv selectees to be patient with Brit,he is not working at KCC .he is here to guide us in whatever problems we commit.my case AF11XXX will be current for february somewhere, since there is some delayance in the process.thank you
December 1, 2018 at 07:55
and me 10XXX but i have not received 2nl.why?
December 1, 2018 at 09:42
Pls which country are u
December 1, 2018 at 09:46
Michael pls which country are u cos I’m also 11XXX from Ghana
December 1, 2018 at 09:52
same dear,Ghana .contact me through this email [email protected]
December 1, 2018 at 09:53
how did you know if your case will be current for february when it was actually current for january? did you call and ask them or you’re just assuming?
December 5, 2018 at 08:20
just some common sense. how do you expect to go for interview next month if you havent received your 2nl yet!!!
December 1, 2018 at 10:38
Has any body got 2nl from Nepal? If not , what will happen to those who were scheduled for January interview ? If some have got, how many have got 2NL ? Please, inform me.
December 1, 2018 at 13:34
Hi Britt,
KCC gonna update VB for February by 15th December so far, for Nepal it might go up to 2700. What do you think?
Imp:
1. What questions may be asked at the interview?
2. If English not good. is it going to harm visa?
cheers,
December 1, 2018 at 16:46
1. Read the FAQ.
2. No
December 1, 2018 at 15:00
Thought KCC was always on time and on track. Released visa Bulletin for January but didn’t schedule interview. My CN is af10xxx and there is up to 13xxx.
December 1, 2018 at 16:47
Who ever said “KCC was always on time and on track.”?????
Patience.
December 2, 2018 at 20:33
I thought….
December 3, 2018 at 05:03
Are there any conditions regarding the person who currently live in USA whose address I use for sending the Green card? To be more specific, can I use the address of an (old and retired) relative who currently live in USA?
December 3, 2018 at 14:56
No problem
December 4, 2018 at 07:28
Request for docs received and submitted. We received an auto message stating that docs have been received by KCC. Howevey I could read a different version of reply in your blog such as Records state etc. We have not received such a reply till now. Docs sent to KCC mid Nov. pls advise
December 4, 2018 at 15:32
Advice? Relax.
December 4, 2018 at 08:37
How can I prove that my family and I will not be a ‘public charge’? Do we need to submit form I-134 or any other documents from a relative in USA?
December 4, 2018 at 15:32
Yes, read the FAQ.
December 4, 2018 at 18:27
2nl hasnt come yet
Should I be worried? :/
December 4, 2018 at 20:12
No, unless you like being worried.
December 4, 2018 at 20:34
This 2NL thing is badly needed as some of us are getting very uneasy.God will surely clear the hold up.
December 4, 2018 at 21:11
I don’t think God works at KCC.
I don’t expect any more 2NLs to be sent for January interviews. So – those still waiting will be moved to February.
December 5, 2018 at 02:57
Not happy that my interview was not scheduled, but nothing I can do, just be patient and wait.
I am EU66XX, was thinking that my interview will be in the beginning of January, but nothing so far.
@Brit, when should we expect the next 2NLs, after December 15th?
December 5, 2018 at 06:53
Just like EVERY month…
December 5, 2018 at 11:00
Am worried about this 2nls stuff till now ?what is there way forward sir just remain patient?
If any person from afxx who has received he or her 2nls Pls let us know in other to clear our worries
December 5, 2018 at 18:09
Patience.
December 6, 2018 at 00:16
From AS too,thanks.
December 5, 2018 at 15:46
Hello Briit! Do we hope with the big case number ???? The process seems to have changed for bad
December 5, 2018 at 20:18
Wait and see. Really. Do that.
December 5, 2018 at 17:36
Let’s hope for the better…
December 6, 2018 at 04:45
During the visa interview, should we carry with us form I-134 or form I-864? Do we need a bank statement in addition to it or it would be enough? and should we carry it with us or the sponsor should send it directly to the embassy? and Please explain.
December 6, 2018 at 04:49
All of that is addressed in the FAQ.
December 6, 2018 at 06:59
Hi brit, My sponsor is my friend’s husband, we dont know him much, but we know our friend. will it be ok
December 6, 2018 at 15:22
I don’t know whether that will satisfy the CO or not.
December 6, 2018 at 07:51
I was in India Morthen 1 year so does it need police certificate or they ask about that .but in DS60 i didn’t mention that .from afghnistan
December 6, 2018 at 15:23
You can read the instructions about the police cert, but why is your DS260 not accurate??? It should be!
December 6, 2018 at 08:20
Dear Brit,
One more thing to confirm, if interview are to be scheduled for any person, he/she can get the 2NL before how many days, either KCC can send them in December /January for the interviews in Feb or KCC can sent at any time they are comfortable. ( i.e For interviews in Feb they have to sent 2NL in January only or they can be sent in December also).
December 6, 2018 at 15:28
I really think you could have understood this from reading rather than asking! You need to do that!
Feb interviews will be notified in December.
December 7, 2018 at 07:00
Hey Brit
I called KCC yesterday and asked them about jannuary 2nl that arent coming and you were right,they said to me that it isnt possible anymore to have a Jannuary interview date,so we will probably have the interview dates on February….now my stupid question is,there is a chance that we will be disqualified or we will surely have a date interview on February?? Greetings
December 7, 2018 at 14:42
1. KCC don’t disqualify cases.
2. They told you “probably” in February – so why are you asking me if it is “surely”??
December 7, 2018 at 07:02
My Case number is 6700
December 7, 2018 at 12:35
Good day Sir
Just to clear my mind sir,can the schedule those who where supposed to be current in February, before us that we were current in January before the didn’t send us 2nl? My worries
December 7, 2018 at 12:37
Schedule for Feb interview
December 11, 2018 at 05:19
Sir pls if there schedule those for February before those who was current in January and 2Nl wasn’t send to them, it therefore mean that the are not scheduling the interview base on case number?
My worries pls cn af10***
December 11, 2018 at 12:43
During the scheduling month, for the group of cases that are current, the case number is no longer important.
December 7, 2018 at 14:52
Yes they can do that.
December 7, 2018 at 13:45
Hi brit,
When the time dv2019 dv entry i missed one under 21 my child.. now we had won.. so what shall we do? We are worried!
December 7, 2018 at 14:59
You missed a child from the initial entry that was already born at the time of the entry? If that is correct, stop wasting your time. You are certain to be disqualified.
December 7, 2018 at 15:11
Tnx your response..
He was 13years old when dv entry time. can we get visa without him? If yes, Can i took him when family sponsorship processing around 2years?
December 7, 2018 at 15:20
So then No. You can NEVER fix this. You should give up on this process.
December 7, 2018 at 15:26
Tnx britsimon your rush answering
