2NLs are starting to be sent for July interviews (DV2019). Please note – I am saying STARTING to be sent, some 2NLs will be sent right up until the end of the month.
This relates to DV2019, and does not concern DV2020 in any way.
Please also understand that 2NLs are only sent to cases which are current, had submitted their DS260 so that processing has been completed on that AND they have sent their documents some time ago. If someone only sent their documents in the last week or two, that was probably not in enough time to get on the list to be scheduled this month, and the interview will be held in a later month.
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!
VERY IMPORTANT. 2NLs will be sent during the remainder of the month. If you do not get yours today – no need to freak out, just wait. There is no need to ask me about specific regions or countries, assume any country or region could have 2NLs as late as the last day of the month (last day in the USA, not where you live).
Also, you will not get the 2NL if you have not submitted your DS260 AND your documents to KCC AND your case number is current (lower than the VB number for your region). If ANY of those three things are not true you will not get the 2NL, and there is no need to ask me about that – it should be clear (especially as I have repeated this information many times before and a couple of times in this article).
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. You log in to the ESC page with your original confirmation code (from when you entered the lottery.

Hi Brit,
Thanks for everything, I just received the 2NL.

Now preparing for the interview.
Good luck everyone !

May 17, 2019 at 17:41
EU 25 XXX
May 17, 2019 at 20:32
No need. EVERY case number (apart from country restrictions) are current, so it is certain that all ranges will have 2NLs
May 18, 2019 at 08:32
Thanks Brit for your guidance all the way
I have recived my 2nl last night.
Case number AF31***
Ethiopia
May 18, 2019 at 10:58
hi brit i know i asked a lot of questions lately but i am wondering that: when you say ” it is certain that all ranges will have 2NLs except the restricted countries” you mean every country gets 2nl’s for sure? because as i mentioned you, in turkey almost no one gets 2nl for june (i guess because of the 4-5 day ramadan feast) and there is a lot of people with cn’s 17-18xxx got no interviews yet. and in august we have another 4-5 day holiday at the begining of the month, so i also expect no 2nl on august too. so my question is: since vb became current is it mean all this stuff have considered by kcc and everyone will get their 2nl ? or like you mentioned before we’ll drown in the flood?
May 18, 2019 at 13:43
When I say all number ranges will get 2NLs I am NOT saying every case is safe. There is chaos. Some people think KCC have their documents, when KCC say they are waiting for documents. KCC still have not asked everyone for documents. KCC are telling some people that DS260s submitted months ago are still being processed (nonsense), and so on. That is the chaos. There seems to be lots of that, and this late in the year, that doesn’t seem good. DV2020 cases are already absorbing KCC resources. Some are bound to drown.
May 17, 2019 at 16:05
Can I get a 2nl if I submitted my documents 5wks ago and got an auto reply from kcc that my documents were received but I have not received an email that my documents were satisfactory?
May 17, 2019 at 18:16
Also, my number was current in the last Visa bulletin.
May 17, 2019 at 20:34
Wait and see.
May 17, 2019 at 16:09

Hello Mr Simon. My question may be stupid and im sorry if im wasting your time. When we enter in the United States for the first time, is it obligatory we first land in NY or is any airport ok? Thank you for your answer. Goog luck everyone
May 17, 2019 at 20:48
Any airport
May 21, 2019 at 18:32
We received our passports today.
Thank you Mr Simon for all your generous answers. I wish you all the best.
May 21, 2019 at 19:27
Best of luck with the move.
May 17, 2019 at 20:57
Hi simon,
For those people who plan to AOS, do they get a 2NL or is it just the email from KCC?
Thanks I’m advance
Lak
May 17, 2019 at 22:59
As I have told you before, everything for AOS is in Mom’s thread. You should follow her instructions.
May 17, 2019 at 21:59
Hi Brit, thanks for all the info and congrats for those who received their 2NL!
My case number is EU23XXX, my file is complete (confirmed by KCC) and I was current at the VB of April. How do we explain that Partenevia, whose case is EU25XXX, received the 2NL and I did not?
Thanks for you time.
Chris
May 17, 2019 at 23:15
When did you send the documents?
May 18, 2019 at 06:29
I sent my documents on 12 March and on 29 April KCC replied that the submitted document were complete and DS260 valid for each family member. Calling them would be an option to get the 2NL? Thanks
May 18, 2019 at 13:15
Calling them doesn’t speed things up in terms of scheduling the interview. All it means is that IF they are scheduling the interview anyway, they will tell you that. But in that case you can simply wait until the end of the month. Calling them does NOT make them schedule a case that was not going to be scheduled anyway.
May 18, 2019 at 00:33
hi brit case 2019AF378 ..
DS-260 filled in october 2018 I am waiting a few days until May 22 if I do not receive an email from kcc direct mail my documents. now my question is that I do not want to have an interview for July I want it for August in August I’ll be ready. so if I send them between May 22 and end of May it will be good for August? guide me brother thank you
May 18, 2019 at 03:56
There is already no possible way to get a July interview.
May 18, 2019 at 01:57
I just called KCC today ,i have been scheduled when i reminded them that i submit my docs ,my freind did also the same today and get scheduled i believe when you call KCC ,they put a note to expedite 2NL specifically we are all CURRENT.
So advise all Call KCC no wait no see.my case is AF51000 my freind is 31000
Brit send a note to all winners please
May 18, 2019 at 03:57
This is silly. It doesn’t work that way.
May 18, 2019 at 04:38
Please can I get your contact?
May 18, 2019 at 06:55
Truly speaking this is silly. Because in Africa looking at the ceac data the highest case number is 47826. And when you call kcc concerning a case you have 2 likely response. Either they tell you your case is processing or your forms have been processed. But telling or asking kcc to program you, i doubt alot
May 18, 2019 at 13:19
Thank you @Chop Jeff for using a little common sense.
May 18, 2019 at 03:39
AS105**
I add my spouse yesterday on ds260, further documents will be sent on 23th may next week.
August interview probably?
May 18, 2019 at 04:01
Well July is not possible.
May 18, 2019 at 04:28
On 15 April, Got reply from KCC: Records indicate You have submitted a complete and valid DS260 for each family member, and You have provided all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center. Haven’t received 2NL. AF32XXX
May 18, 2019 at 06:27

Hi BRIT.
Thanks a lot for your advice finally I received my 2NL yesterday for interview in July 9, so my question is my police clearance will expire on June 29,it will be OK if I go on with it or I have to apply for another one?
When I can go for my medical ?
May 18, 2019 at 13:37
You can take the existing police cert or renew it – up to you.
You should be arranging the medical for June.
May 18, 2019 at 14:14
Hi Brit…
Are there any statistics on embassies vs. 2NLs. I mean if some embassies tend to send 2NLs later in the second batch rather than in the first batch of 2NLs?
My case number is 2019AS110XX, I didn’t receive a 2NL yet, I submitted DS260 end of May 2018, and I sent documents to KCC on April 3, and got confirmation that documents are complete and valid on April 18. My interview is supposed to be at the Abu Dhabi Embassy.

Thanks a million for your great work, patience and time.
Please I am worried about i-134 n i-864 form. We received 2nl for July interview. My husband and I intend to go with our son . All of us sent the required documents.
1) Please Which of the abovementioned forms shall our sponsor fill?
2) Is it compulsory (form)?
3) can we print our bank statement to attach to our file for the interview?
Thanks for your help and direction
May 26, 2019 at 16:06
1. I-134
2. Varies by embassy and case.
3. Yes

HI Brit.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful knowledge about DV-program here.
I have a question and I’m sorry if you already answered to it. I appreciate if you’d kindly answer to it or tell me where I can find the information at your website.
Now all the case number is “CURRENT”. However will the interview be given from low case number to high case number?
I mean, my case number is AS30XXX and I already submitted DS-260 and other documents. But if the person with the case number AS20XXX would submit the documents later than I, does s/he take priority over me?
Your help would be highly appreciated!
May 23, 2019 at 18:16
First, you must quote your year when listing the case number.
The VB you are referring to has nothing to do with DV2020. DV2020 interviews won’t start until October, and a case number as high as yours will be at the end of the year (if at all). Please read the guide and other articles to understand more.
May 24, 2019 at 13:08
Hello brit, how long does a case that is under investigation(Administration Processing) after interview from embassy take to get the response?
May 24, 2019 at 14:25
It varies greatly.
May 24, 2019 at 17:37
3 July, country: Azerbaijan, interview in: Tbilisi, Georgia. Thank you for your helps Brit, you’re doing great job 🙂

2019AS00011xxx from Taiwan, got my 2NL for 23th July
May 26, 2019 at 08:51
Hi Brit…
After receiving the 2nl, do we need to register our appointment at the embassy’s website, or do we just go to the interview as per the stated date and time in the 2nl?
May 26, 2019 at 14:55
Many embassies require you to register with their courier, but the interview date is set in your 2NL. So – follow embassy instructions.
May 26, 2019 at 16:01
Got it… thanks for your help!
May 26, 2019 at 16:33
Hello mr.Brit, i have a question so in Europe 2nl distributed by case nr. or by region or who first has submitted the necessary documents from kcc, i dont understand because i see some ppl get interviewed before my EU 25 number *** , thank you !
May 26, 2019 at 18:07
Once case numbers within a range are current, and case that has processed the d260 and documents can be scheduled. If you hold yourself back because of late submission, the won’t make everyone else wait just because of your case.
May 26, 2019 at 21:03
oho ok i understand mr.Brit i submmites my doc on 5 May and confrimed 8 May ok i have to wait…. ok thnxx
May 26, 2019 at 18:06
Hello mr.Brit.
I need your help, please. I sent the documents without e-mail, but I came across this email and I do not understand what that means exactly.
I made a mistake in sending them or there is something else.

Hullo Brit
I would like to inquire from you !
1. How come on this blog am seeing people with 2NL (case numbers AF454** & AF43***) yet we submitted the DS 260 last year & documents mid April & we haven’t received any email from kcc be it ready for scheduling nor requesting for documents.
2 is it normal

Hello Brit, i also received my 2nd letter on 24May for mid july interview case number *AF32xxx*.
My questions are :
1.Which document should the person who will welcome me in the US fill?
2. Should my birth certificate be translated? And my German language certificate should also be translated?
Thanks in advanced
May 27, 2019 at 14:54
1. I-134
2. Documents should be in official local language of the embassy OR translated to English.
May 27, 2019 at 13:39
My case number is AS71xx, is it a low or high number? Which month should this case number in current?
May 27, 2019 at 15:00
It’s OK. Wait and see.
May 27, 2019 at 15:12
Good day. I have been following you up for some time now and I want to thank you for the informations you have been given. I have a alittle worry about my 2Nl. I know my interview date in june but have not received my letter yet. What could be the issue ?
May 27, 2019 at 15:19
How do you know your interview date?
May 27, 2019 at 15:28
I was worried so I wrote to Kcc email and they told me my case is already programed and they gave me the date that I should wait for 7to10days. I also saw it in the ESC site where they wrote it with the time for the interview.
May 27, 2019 at 15:35
So if you saw the interview details on the ESC site that is all you need. They don’t send a mail or email.
