People are now receiving their 2NLs for July interviews, it will take a few hours – and possibly even a couple of days before all have gone 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.
May 22, 2016 at 04:41
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.
May 22, 2016 at 06:12
Hi Simon,if i have $50,000 worth money still i need to provide i-134?i have 5 members in my family.
May 22, 2016 at 13:49
Typically, that would be enough.
May 22, 2016 at 08:37
Hi Brit
Thanks for the Support you are giving , would like to check
– in the i-134 we prepared , it is written that the form expires in 2/29/2016 however we didn’t found another form in the web , is it OK to keep using this form .
– is anything else needs to be attached to i-134 by the person who filled it , does it require any sort of authentication ( attestation ) or it needs to be filled and signed by the sponsoring person only ?
– we are interviewing in Saudi Arabia but needs to bring a police certification from Jordan as well since we stayed there after 16 , we have something called ” Certificate of Non-Conviction ” that is issued by Ministry of Justice , is this certificate is what we need to obtain for such case ?
May 22, 2016 at 13:41
1. No problem to use that version of the form.
2. It needs the tax forms (1040, W2, Payslips and ID)
3. Read the reciprocity page for Jordan.
May 22, 2016 at 15:19
Dear Omar
Police certification from Jordan I got it thru the embassy in Riyadh but it takes about 60 days they will give you good conduct certificate
May 22, 2016 at 19:06
Hi AJ
Could you please send me your email or mobile to clarify with you something about the interview in Riyadh .
May 22, 2016 at 19:09

Omar

Mr. Simon thank you for toy help, my question is what form should l have to submit to the embassy as affidavit support is I-134 or I-864??
Best Regards
May 22, 2016 at 13:38

May 22, 2016 at 16:21
I had noticed the same thing. I always have a couple of people who miss the email, but this month seems unusually high. I have told people to check with KCC and once they do I expect some feedback.
May 22, 2016 at 18:22
hi BRIST
Still not received my 2NL. I always check ESC but 1L.
I have not received mail also.
ds260 send in July 2015.
Are what normal?
thank you
May 22, 2016 at 18:30
If you are already current, then no it is not normal. Contact KCC, and let me know what they say.
May 22, 2016 at 18:59
OK my CN 38+++
May 22, 2016 at 18:40
hi brit,

is it ok to correct it and put it in an observation page in my passport or do i have a time to prepare new one and change passport number
May 22, 2016 at 19:04
I would not change that now. It should not be an issue.
May 22, 2016 at 19:15
Brist thank you
This discourages me.
I sent an email to KCC on Friday.
Still no response from kcc.
I do not even know was what to think.
I never unlock my DS260.
Thank you I’ll tell you the answer.
May 22, 2016 at 19:17
You might have to wait a few days for their answer.
May 22, 2016 at 21:02
Mr Simon
Can you tell me if the dv applicant has to fill out the Form I-134, Affidavit of Support or Form I- 864 to take to the interview.

1. Doesn’t matter.
2. Just take it to the interview – it should be OK.
May 23, 2016 at 05:09
Mr Simon
Thank you. You clarified the matter of Affidavit of Support quite thoroughly.
May 23, 2016 at 08:17
Hi Brit.
I submitted my DS-260 June 1, 2015.
Never unlock it.
My CN = 2016AF373**. Current for the month of July 2016
Interview date 12th July 2016.
i have a problem that is really disturbing me, that is
At the primary entry a mistake was committed on my names e.g instead of Rolline it was Cusmos. I corrected it on the ds-260 form but it still came on my 2nl. all the other information correct but for one of my names.
Please Mr. Brit, what are my chances of having a visa.
May 23, 2016 at 14:03
There is a risk, but you did the right thing by correcting the error on the DS260. Now it is up to the CO.
May 23, 2016 at 12:32
Hi mr Britt..kindly assist me undrstand..for case number 2017AF000020xxxx when are they likely to be booked for an interview?this year or next year?

May 23, 2016 at 13:08
hi BRIST
Still not received my 2NL. I always check ESC but 1L.
I have not received mail also.
ds260 send in setamper ..whats mean is?????
May 23, 2016 at 13:53
Contact KCC
May 23, 2016 at 13:09
Hi Brit Simon, i am Nku mark i was selected for the DV lottery 2017 but my sister played for me using information on my passport which shows my order of names as Mark Nku mean while my birth certificate and educational documents the order of my names are Nku Mark. Will this affect my chance of geting a visa when i go for my interview becuz of my name order change? if yes what can i do to remedy the situation
May 23, 2016 at 13:53
It could affect you. Make sure it is accurate on the DS260.
May 23, 2016 at 15:10
hi mr , simons i call now KCC asking about my interview she told me in the processing not fished yet and im not complete in time then i told her i send it September 10 then she told me again to check in june 15 is that mains we dont have interview in july or what ?
May 23, 2016 at 18:00
That seems EXTREMELY unlikely that the processing is not actually completed since September. I think it is more likely a capacity issue at the embassy. Which embassy is this?
May 23, 2016 at 15:55
Mr Simon
I made an error when filling out the ds 260 form for one of the beneficiaries. Is there any way to correct it before the interview or do I explain it at the time of the interview?
May 23, 2016 at 17:39
If you are not scheduled for interview you can request KCC to unlock the DS260 to correct it.
May 23, 2016 at 18:14
Mr. Simon
Thank you very much for the information.
May 23, 2016 at 18:56
Hi britsimon my interview is in 3 July in kabul afghanistan case 2016as96**

May 23, 2016 at 19:25
You can maybe contact the embassy to change the interview to another embassy – but you have created a risk that they don’t reschedule correctly.
May 23, 2016 at 19:25
mr,simon that is kh embassy that means we can not get interview before august
May 23, 2016 at 19:30
KH embassy? Which is that?
May 23, 2016 at 19:37
khatoum sudan embssy mr , simon
May 23, 2016 at 20:36
Awad, do not worry,
you’ll receive your 2 NL,
I was in worry like you, and after that mail KCC, I found the serenity
May 23, 2016 at 23:53
So I suspect that that embassy is overwhelmed with interviews, so your interview will be pushed back to the following month.
May 23, 2016 at 21:58
Hi there Mr. BritSimon,
About addresses in DS260, do I need to fill in all the addresses of places I visited even if I stayed for short time (vacations and job trips from 1 to 5 months maximum)??
I added only the addresses at my home country plus other countries in which I was residing for one year or more! Is this correct or I should ask to unlock DS260 to add everything?
Thanks a lot for your help..
May 23, 2016 at 23:46
I would add stays of 2 or 3 months and more.
May 24, 2016 at 14:47
Thanks Mr. BritSimon,
My Case number 48XXX; Do you think I should unlock now to add five months job trip address or it is too late ?? can I correct this at the interview date?
May 24, 2016 at 14:59
You have time to unlock if you want.
May 23, 2016 at 22:10
thanks GIGANTE that also your CN current for july and u will not get 2NL or you are talking about that happend with you before and after you send to KCC Email they send it for you 2NL becouse also i send Email then I call again
May 24, 2016 at 07:50
So do you think I should unlock now to add a five months job trip address or it is too late? (Case number 48000)
May 24, 2016 at 08:49
hi simon, i got married this gone December and I am pregnant. What should I tell kcc about my pregnancy and my husband? Should I add my husband on my program? please give me advice on my critical issue. Stay bless…..
May 24, 2016 at 15:25
Yes you should add your husband. You need to unlock your DS260, add him to your form and also create a form for him. Although you are not clear whether your case is 2016 or 2017 and what you have done so far.
May 24, 2016 at 09:55
Thanks Mr. Brit,
Is there any other thing i need to do, as for the risk.
Please
May 24, 2016 at 14:24
Because you did not continue the conversation I have no idea what you are discussing.
May 24, 2016 at 11:24
Hi Mr Brit
I need to know if u send a wrong adresse on ds260 u will have an interview ? (I have a another adresse to change it in the day of interview)
May 24, 2016 at 14:15
That won’t affect your interview scheduling.
May 24, 2016 at 12:19
GOOD DAY SIR, FILLED IN DS-260 JUNE 6, 2016, NEVER UNLOCK. RECEIVED 2NL MAY 19, 2016 INTERVIEW DATE JULY 19 2016. CN 387%%. 1. IS IT OK TO DO MEDICAL NOW? 2. ON MY WIFE WAEC CERTIFICATE HER BIRTH YEAR IS MISTAKENLY WRITTEN DIFFERENTLY, WILL THIS BE PROBLEM? THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONE. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR DAUGTHER.
May 24, 2016 at 14:11
1. Yes
2. Generally it won’t be a problem if your wife is not the principal selectee. If she is, that may be a problem if you are interviewing at Accra.
May 24, 2016 at 15:09
she is the principal applicant and we are from Liberia. is it advisable to get written prove from the school?
May 24, 2016 at 15:30
All evidence is helpful.
May 24, 2016 at 12:26
Dear Britsimon,
I am current for july, I have moved from the country i submitted in the ds260 to a job that i am leaving in one week time but i did not unlock to update the address country. Will that be a problem?
Thank you
May 24, 2016 at 14:10
No.
May 26, 2016 at 12:43
Thank you!
In reply to my previous post, the embassy i’m scheduled to interview in is Cairo.
May 26, 2016 at 13:40
The answer is still no. 🙂
May 24, 2016 at 14:10
mr britsimon i sent an email to the kcc asking about why my 2NL is not sent yet …they told me that they recieved the form ds and its on a pending situation to the embassy …this might take a few days right?
May 24, 2016 at 15:02
Which embassy is that?
I think they will setup an August interview for you.
May 24, 2016 at 14:34
hi dear mr, simon KCC also they replay my Email regarding about the same (n’t received 2NL) by this Email.today..

thanks for your help us so much
May 24, 2016 at 15:00
That is a standard reply which should mean they will schedule you for August interview.
May 24, 2016 at 15:41
Hi Brit :
This was the response from Kcc that got me really really confuse.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check http://www.dvlottery.state.gov. If you need to make changes to your DS-260 you should contact the consular section where you will be interviewed, or bring the information about your changes to your interview appointment. Because your case is ready to be scheduled, KCC can no longer unlock your application.

May 24, 2016 at 15:56
Right – so they cannot unlock.
May 24, 2016 at 16:06
Hi Brit :
Since indeed my case is current for July interview according to Kcc, than what is the cause of the delay? Please help me.
May 24, 2016 at 17:07
I think they released too many cases for July and the embassies (at least some) can’t cope with the volume. They might still be trying to schedule some July cases. What embassy is yours?
May 24, 2016 at 17:34
My embassy is Monrovia, Liberia
May 24, 2016 at 17:14
embassy of sudan khartoum …i think they have a lot of cases right?
May 24, 2016 at 19:40
Yes, and they are relatively “new” since the embassy opened.
May 24, 2016 at 18:23
Brist thank you
KCC has responded to my message. My case is expected to interview in July.
By 15 days I receive 2NL.
But some time after, they sent the notification.
And my second letter is available.
Thank you
May 25, 2016 at 10:34
Hi Birt, I am current for July interview, from Monrovia, Liberia. when i was filling the ds260 form i make a mistake, for my first Previous address when i was sixteen, 1: I wrote January 2008 to July 2014 and the Right want is this, 2: January 2008 to July 2010. The other address is when i was eighteen i moved to a new address from July 2010 to December 2014. I just saw this mistake. I am worrying if it won’t cause a problem doing my interview? I am the principal applicant.
May 25, 2016 at 14:06
It won’t cause a problem.
May 25, 2016 at 14:12

Hi mr Simon I have 2 questions. What do you think of someone who was living illegally in a country and is it possible to be approved successfullyy? Interview is already scheduled.
interview is a;\lready scheduled by NVC in Seoul embassy so do we have to contact the embassy to say that we are attending the interview or usually just go to the interview on the date?
May 25, 2016 at 15:00
Yes it is possible to be approved. Check the embassy specific instructions in the dvselectee site.
May 25, 2016 at 14:59
Hi Brit,
When I fill my DS 260, I put that I was employee of a company because I was actually but since February 29, I stopped working, I left myself a result of misunderstandings between management and myself.
I have my work certificate during the period of my contract,
my question is whether in the interview the payslip will be asked?
Thank you.
May 25, 2016 at 15:00
People in AFxxxxx44, are they receiving their 2LNs for july interview?
May 25, 2016 at 15:17

May 25, 2016 at 15:09
hi dear mr, simon is it possible to received 2LN after this days for the people who current for July interview and still not get it or it is OVER ??
May 25, 2016 at 15:14
I would normally say it is over, but the delay for those that should have been scheduled is quite unusual, so I cannot say for sure.
May 25, 2016 at 15:18

June 4, 2016 at 02:27
Ohhh , good that I asked .
1-Does it needs anything on it other than the signature of the sponsor .
