2NLs are starting to be sent for May interviews. This is earlier than normal, and since last month was a bit unusual in the way the 2NLs were published, we might see similar unusual process this month, so the 2NLs might be spread out over a few days – I don’t know for sure. So – look out for the email – and check the ESC site.
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.
*** please for our willing scrapers – let’s get scraping (as we can then identify the cases that have been scheduled, and that tells us how many interviews are being scheduled per embassy/region ***

Will it promt any delay? Or possible cancellation if I leave it that way?pls advice.
March 15, 2018 at 18:03
Unlock and correct – it will not cause a delay – although you already caused a delay with your late submission.
March 15, 2018 at 18:06
that’s very early..we’re expecting more case numbers in the next vb.
March 15, 2018 at 18:08

March 15, 2018 at 20:37
Please I needed to know whether you can open the 2nl page/site several times before printing. Or do I need to print once I open?
March 15, 2018 at 21:37
You don’t need to print it once you open it.
Print it when you get ready to print..
March 15, 2018 at 21:34

Hi Brit,
I have just received my 2nl and checked the ceac site. Here it says my ds-260 is now in Stockholm and that my husband, 2 kids and myself have completed it. However there is now another application for my husband that is ready to fill out, Is this something we need to complete again or is it some kind of glitch with their system? Thanks for all your help. If it was not for your site I doubt we would never have got this far!!
March 15, 2018 at 22:36
Ignore the new form. It is a common glitch.
March 15, 2018 at 21:50
Sorry! I Guess 2018Af29xxx gonna receive theirs next month against June?
March 15, 2018 at 22:05
iam AF284xx I hope too next month
March 15, 2018 at 22:38
Hi Brit
Thanks for the tremendous support.
I received my 2NL today and interview is schedule for May 03. I didn’t see any further instructions about the medical exam appointment and fees.
1: How can I schedule an appointment to do the medical exam ?
2: Is it the embassy responsibility?
Thank you
March 16, 2018 at 19:45
1- the embassy with which you selected to have the interview at will have approved medical institutions states on their website, you need to schedule the test yourself and pay for the fees , for you and all dependents.
2- No , its your responsibility
March 20, 2018 at 17:34

Hi Brit
I can’t remember my the confirmation number and the email that i used to register however, i have my case number and the email i used to fill the DS 260 form. but i looks like none of these could help. Please is there any other means of logging in to check the status of my 2N. my case number is 26xxx
March 16, 2018 at 02:45
The only way is the lost confirmation number link on the ESC page.

March 18, 2018 at 15:48
How will they proceed ? Because my case number is 35*** and I’ve submitted my DS on December
March 18, 2018 at 16:50
So – you must wait and see.
March 17, 2018 at 12:25

March 17, 2018 at 14:27
Not necessary.
March 17, 2018 at 14:34
Thank you so much for helping me during my journey of dv lottery ? ? ?
March 17, 2018 at 21:31
Hey Brit,
Finally I got my interview for 29th may.
• can I take police certificate now as it’s 2 and a half months remaining yet?
March 17, 2018 at 21:36

March 21, 2018 at 05:06
Hi Farrukh,
Congrats for your 2NL n good luck
Could u plz tell us what is ur CN?
my CN is 22xxx and still waiting for 2NL
March 18, 2018 at 06:29
This is the firth months that my interview has passed but still my case status is under administrative process I don’t know why it have been taken too long? even the medical exam has been expired and I don’t know what I should do?
March 18, 2018 at 15:24
You could contact the embassy, but they will probably just tell you that you have to wait. Are you from a country affected by the travel ban?
March 18, 2018 at 08:23
Is there any one received 2nl for may inteview in ethiopia
March 18, 2018 at 14:07
hi mr brit gud afternoon and big ups to the marvelous work u are doing,pls i want to ask if dv 2019 will still hold should in case congress end the diversity visa lottery program. or it will mean that dv 2019 will run but there will be no application again.thank you.
March 18, 2018 at 15:44
It depends when the law is changed. Right now there is no credible attempt at changing the law – so it is likely that DV2019 will be unaffected.
March 18, 2018 at 17:16
HI BRIT. I am a dv 2018 selectee, I got married and called kcc and they told me to unlock my ds-260 and include my husband and I did, we also filled his own ds-260 form. I have received 2NL BUT where they wrote beneficiaries it is written there that none.
does that mean I will be going to the interview alone? please help me. thanks I will be waiting
March 18, 2018 at 22:44
No – that is normal. You go to the interview together.
March 19, 2018 at 01:09
I changed my explanation sentence in the ds 260 in the first sentence I said we have not sent the evidences requested by uscis in the second sentence I said we abandoned the process after the request of evidence sent by uscis is that OK
March 19, 2018 at 02:41
If that is the truth, yes.
March 19, 2018 at 11:14
Yes we abandoned the process in the first Explanation I think I was not clear when I said we have not sent the evidences requested by uscis so I changed the sentence and I said we abandoned the process after the request of evidence sent by uscis
March 19, 2018 at 13:48
You have been fussing about this for months. Just tell the truth and it will be fine. This subject probably won’t even come up at the interview.
March 20, 2018 at 07:20
Dear Brit I appreciate you for the updated inforation you provide us for Dv winners 2018. my worry is my CN is 22xxx from ethiopia…still not received 2nl… I submit ds-260 mid June 2017 and I printed the form ds 260 …is it late or when does I expect my 2nl? thanks in advance
March 20, 2018 at 14:16
There are a number of people saying the same thing. I don’t think all 2NLs have gone out yet – so be patient.

March 22, 2018 at 11:39
Still waiting 2nl for may interview and u know what I will wait a year if I have to. Ohh I’m kidding I’m frustrated but what can I do except being patient.
March 22, 2018 at 13:02
Same here but patient is the key.
March 22, 2018 at 14:29
Is there any one who got 2nl for May interview in ethiopia
March 22, 2018 at 17:42
Hello ,Brit I’m from Ethiopia and winner of Dv 2018 VB released for may month but interview schedule not released (1NLS not replace by 2NLS) .I want advice
March 22, 2018 at 17:51
My advice is to wait at least one week.
March 22, 2018 at 22:33
Hello Bris am here again i checked the ceac website and my case shows current and I am AF219XX I have not received any letter yet what do I do as my case shows current am from Ghana
March 22, 2018 at 22:44
No need to keep asking. Just wait patiently.
March 23, 2018 at 15:16
Hello Brit in the ds 260 there is a question asking about phone contact phone number one and two and work phone I put my two phones numbers but in the work phone number I put doesn’t aply because now I’m not working and the ds 260 I put that I am not working but previously I worked and put the name of the supervisor and the phone number of the work (previous work phone number) so is that OK or should I unlock my ds 260 and put the previous phone number instead of put doesn’t not apply because what I understand is not necessary to put my previous phone work on the numbers that kcc maybe call me on it wish that will not be a problem thank you
March 23, 2018 at 18:15
You can use your own judgement on that.
March 23, 2018 at 22:05
I do not know what to do that’s why I asked you sir I will appreciate your help thank you
March 23, 2018 at 23:00
I don’t have advice on this. I think you are overthinking a trivial matter – so do what you want to do.
March 23, 2018 at 17:07
Thanks Brit I got my 2nl. I just wanted to know where I can get the AOS form?
March 23, 2018 at 18:16
AOS meaning affidavit of support? Google I-134.
March 23, 2018 at 21:51
Hey mate,
Just a quick one…
I’m 2018OC878. The cutoff for April was 875, the cutoff for May is 1025. Is it wrong to assume that an interview will then be scheduled for May?
Cheers.
March 23, 2018 at 21:58
Well it means you *could* be scheduled for May. Not “will”, could.
March 24, 2018 at 03:17
Thank you for your reply. Keep up the good work!
March 25, 2018 at 08:33
Good morning Brit
I have been help by you to much for all process .
Thank you so much for all .
I am still have question :
I have been submitted DS260 on October 2017
Until now I am still waiting for 2NLs my case2018AFXXX29000.
May you tell me to understand why is take longer or have to wait for which month?
Thanks
March 25, 2018 at 17:59
Wait and see. And in the meantime read the articles where I have explained this time and time again.
March 25, 2018 at 11:42
Hi brits.
Am married with one child and my wife is the key principal.
My question is,i did my high school and finished but i only received a result slip with no certificate because when i was writing i didnt do my project so that led for me getting an X because of absent.
I called the examination body and they adviced me that they will write or issue me with a confirmation that i finished high school and the following were my grades.
Will the Embassy have a problem with that?
Will it affect our application?
March 25, 2018 at 17:56
I don’t know. You must show that you meet the requirements for your embassy. The requirement is not just attending school.
March 25, 2018 at 13:15
My case number is EU30xxx is it safe? :((
March 25, 2018 at 17:52
Wait and see.
March 25, 2018 at 22:05
Hi Simon
I’m OC9xx with ds260 unlocked and resubmitted in Oct 2017. My current status says “At NVC”.
– Based on your recent blog is “At NVC” an indication I’m unlikely to be scheduled for May?
-Or is there still a chance my 2NL could come in the next 5 days despite this?
– Does all scheduling come to a hard stop at the end of the month? (Ie if I don’t get anything by 31/3 it’s certain I’m not in for May)
Thanks again
March 25, 2018 at 22:12
I don’t know. They have done something new for the last 2 months.
