We have many DV2018 selectees with very basic questions. Let me try and address the most frequent ones here in the hope that people will read this. If you ask a question and I give you a link to this page, it is to indicate that your question can be answered by reading this page and using some common sense. Please use the links in the title at the top of this page for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and the DV lottery guide. There is LOTS of information available on my site – so a look through the FAQ and guide will take care of most questions.
By the way. VERY IMPORTANT. You can ask questions on any blog post I write. If you have to ask me a series of questions – please NUMBER the questions to make my work easier.
First – two links to help those still not able to check their entry:
https://britsimonsays.com/faq/checking-esc-page-check-without-mistakes/
And for those that cannot submit their DS260
https://britsimonsays.com/faq/ds260-case-number-doesnt-match-case-number/
Is there a deadline to submit my DS260?
There is no official deadline to submit your DS260. People will continue to submit DS260s for DV2018 cases well into 2018. Submissions as late as April or perhaps even May of next year will still get processed in time.
How long does it take to process the DS260?
Based on the past years (since the DS260 was introduced), we can be pretty confident in the following info.
The actual processing time of the DS260 is quite short – probably 3 to 4 weeks. However, because of the volume of DS260s that are received starting at the beginning of May, a backlog builds up very quickly. You can think of this as a queue. In the two past years, that queue or backlog has meant that DS260s were taking 4 to 5 months to process (obviously most of that time being spent waiting). So – for those that submit their DS260 in the first week or two after the initial draw, the processing time will be quite short. Then a backlog will build and processing times will build up to 4 or 5 month delay. Then, early next year, processing times will reduce again to being a few weeks.
Does every DS260 take the same time to process?
No. There is some background checks required on each case that vary according to the situation of the selectees. The precise details of the checks are not published, but we can guess they are mainly about ensuring security of the USA. That means they communicate with agencies and foreign governments about the details you provide on the DS260. Some countries co-operate with the USA, some don’t. In countries that don’t co-operate you can expect DS260 will take longer. So, some cases are very simple, and some not so simple. If a selectee was raised in Western Europe, works in an office and has never travelled to certain high risk countries we can expect the DS260 processing (once the case is ACTUALLY processed, not queued) to be quick. If on the other hand someone has travel history around certain countries in the middle East or lists their work as “Nuclear weapons specialist”, well they can expect the US government to take longer over those checks.
So – never assume that all DS260s submitted on the same day will complete processing on the same day. There will be variations.
When will I be interviewed? Is my number safe?
OK, first of all. Processing timing is mainly based on your case number, and where that number is ranked within each region. So – if you are case number 2000 in OC region for example (where the highest case number will probably be around 24XX) you are near the back of the line and can expect a long wait before being interviewed. However, that same number in AF region (where the highest case number could be 50,000 to 60000) would be very low. So “low or high” is relative within the region.
As it is very early in the year, I don’t currently know the highest case numbers in each region. Based on numbers I have seen the highest number in each region are at least these
AF 60XXX
EU 40XXX
AS 13XXX
SA 25XX
OC 26XX
So -= there is no need to ask me if your number is low or high. Compare your number to the highest numbers here – and apply some logical thinking.
Cases are called for interview in case number order, so a low number means the case could be interviewed earlier in the process *IF* the DS260 is processed.
HOWEVER, if a selectee with a low case number submits their DS260 late, it is possible their case will not be scheduled until a later month than their case number would suggest. No case will be scheduled unless the DS260 has been processed. In the case of someone with a low number who missed their “current” month because of DS260 backlogs, their case will be scheduled once the DS260 is processed. In some cases people might actually want to use this delay to cause a later interview (for instance if someone wants to get married prior to interview).
UPDATE: After this article was first published the government published data on how many selectees there are across regions. That allowed me to do some analysis, and I published some thoughts (INCLUDING NUMBERS THAT ARE VERY SAFE!) here: DV2018 Selectee Numbers
When will interviews start and how will I be told of my interview date?
No DV2018 interviews will happen before October 2017. DV2018 interviews will continue until September 30th 2018. So stop packing your bags. It’s a long process. Interview scheduled are notified in month batches about 6 weeks before the interview month. The notification is called the 2NL.
When will KCC send the first 2NLs?
The first 2NLs (the interview notification) for DV2018 will go out in late August. That will be for cases that have been processed AND are current for October. Then 2NLs will come in a monthly schedule, also late in each month. So – late in September for November interviews and so on.
When are the visa bulletins published?
The visa bulletins are published around the 8th to the 15th of each month. If you call KCC they will always respond that it is released on the 15th. They are not “late” until the 16th. Usually I get people lamenting “the sky is falling” and “why are they so late” around the 10th or 11th. That will happen every month – and no matter how many times I explain, people are impatient.
How do KCC schedule the cases?
Roughly speaking all interviews are spread out over the year, starting in October and ending the following September. KCC release numbers via the visa bulletin to say which case numbers can be interviewed. Check out this article to understand how to read the visa bulletin.
KCC will increase the number made current on each region at a pace that ensures they have enough interviews to match the embassy capacity during each month.
So – to take an example. If OC had a highest case number of 1000, we could roughly expect to see that number increase by 100 each month. However, due to DS260 backlogs (remember no case can be scheduled UNTIL the DS260 is processed), KCC might release a higher number to start with (for October and November for instance) and slow down later. So – we might see OC start at 200 in October, be 350 in November and then increase by 50 to 75 each month for a while.
The same thing will happen in each region. This effect is going to be particularly pronounced in AF region where selectees typically take a long time to submit their forms. So – AF will start with a high VB number. Many will rejoice and say how fast things are moving and then those same people will be confused when the pace decreases later on. I have tried to explain this many times, but people just don’t seem to understand the point. It ends up being mysterious and frustrating. So – people need to be ready to be patient.
You can look at the historical visa bulletin numbers from previous years to get an idea how things work. However, every year is different, so I would suggest only taking a look at DV2016 or DV2015 to try and anticipate when your number will be scheduled for interview. Please do that rather than asking me to predict your interview date. Use some judgment and common sense to allow me to spend my time on people that need help with more critical questions.
To encourage people to look for themselves I have taken the 2015 and 2016 numbers and plotted them onto charts. So – look for your number in your region and you can guess roughly when your case will be ready for interview.

November 16, 2017 at 12:34
Hi Simon,
I have mistaken my surname on my child’s DS-260: field mother Surname at birth – I have written the “current name after the marriage” instead.
Moreover, I will have an official document, proving that I am one and the same person and a document that I am married.
Should I make corrections in the DS form for this error?
Thank you, Eva
November 16, 2017 at 14:16
Yes
November 17, 2017 at 20:28
Hi BritSimon, I have come across your site many times already, but haven’t found an answer to my question yet.
In terms of applying for the DVvisa program, both of my countries are eligible, I was born in Ecuador, but was raised in Uruguay, in fact, I barely know Ecuador at all, my question is, considering this, which country should I apply with?
November 17, 2017 at 20:57
Ecuador (if you READ the instructions it mentioned country of birth).
November 18, 2017 at 12:29
hi
I’m DV winner 2018 when i hav e applied I made a mistake for my zip code , I discovered it when i get a result of my application now I have put a correct one in DS 260 form will this cause a problem

No
November 19, 2017 at 18:35
Dear Brit
Thanks very much for your support , advice and making everything available for those who need the much needed help. Finally my interview date is now set for early January (AF11xxx) and I have the following question
I managed to get a new passport for two of my children as it will be less than six months by the time of interview . Do I need to open DS260 and put the new passport number or I can explain during the interview? If so, does it pose a problem during the interview as my interview letter is already sent.
Second, when I fill the entry last year there was an error on the names of my children( missing alphabet) compared to the birth Certificate but I filled the correct name on D260 and it is exactly the same as the passport and their birth certificate. When I received the 2NL the old incorrect names are there though I correct it on the DS260. I believe if DS260 is correctly filled this will not be a challenge please advice .
Thanks so much
November 20, 2017 at 01:14
1. No problem.
2. No problem.
December 5, 2017 at 16:14

Hi Brit. Please I like to ask if it’s possible for one to change his sponsor before the interview date because am scheduled for January
November 22, 2017 at 01:09
You can’t change the DS260 now – but you can inform the CO of the change at the interview.
November 22, 2017 at 06:06
Hi Brit. my interview is in December and my partner has been taken to the Sandi Bush for tradition ceremony and will be back in January. Can I ask to be reschedule?
November 22, 2017 at 06:12
You can, but there is a risk of significant delay.
November 22, 2017 at 18:37
Hello Mr Brit …Thank you I have received ma Interview letter and please I want to know , will I go against me or can the CO refuse me Visa if I failed In Ma Senior High School ( SHS ) results? Please.

Yes. If you do not meet the requirements particular to your country/embassy, they can refuse you.
November 22, 2017 at 19:40
Dear Britsimon
Jack again .
I am not clear when you respond ‘ No problem ‘to my earlier questions particularly question number one . Are you saying there is not problem if I make a change the DS260 to update the passport number or I can explain it during the interview on January ?
Regards
Jack
November 22, 2017 at 22:14
You are scheduled so you cannot update the DS260 now. But it is no problem to go to the interview with a new passport (take the old passports ideally). .
November 23, 2017 at 09:28

Hi there,
I just reviewed some statistics for Visa Bulletin for this and previous year and realized that for example in Europe the number for December 2018 is 6000, while the same number for Europe for last year was 14000. Do you have any idea why these numbers are that much different? Have they started with the bigger numbers last year?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much SIR!! What a gentleman you are! ¨
November 29, 2017 at 14:24
Dear Brit,
Thank you again for your enormous support. My interview is in January 2017. I kindly request clarification on the below issues.
1. On your interview experience website, almost all applicants have been asked this question – ” Were do you stay in USA”?. We (me and family) don’t have a close friend/relative where we can leave temporarily. If we don’t have a place to stay, am I expected to show my financial position? PLEASE advise me…
2. Is police record needed only for the primary applicant?
3. If we decide not to live in USA in our first trip (during the 6 months period), is the entire family expected to go to USA for the purpose of “activation”? (apologies if you have already answered 2 & 3 before)
***** Anyone from Ethiopia? please share me your experience. I have leaved in different parts of Ethiopia. Am I expected to bring Police Record from every city that I leaved in. Or the Report/Record that I get from Forensic Bureau is a centralized record and can be presented during the interview?
Thank you so much for your time!
November 29, 2017 at 14:56
1. Yes you will need to show “something” to demonstrate your plan to survive.
2. No – all applicants over 16. Read the instructions.
3. Yes
About police certs – Read the instructions!
November 29, 2017 at 15:44
Dear Brit,
Thank you very much for your swift response!
December 1, 2017 at 12:11
Hi britsimon, i was placed on 221g pink slip, today my visa status on visa profile changed from “your passport is still with the embassy” to “passport delivery information: ”
What does it mean sir?
December 1, 2017 at 15:16
The status on the courier page doesn’t mean anything about your visa.
December 3, 2017 at 06:01
1. So sir, where can I check my visa status since ceac data is not available until january?
2. I have submitted all the documents they had asked, will i get visa? What do you think sir?
December 3, 2017 at 15:16
1. Nowhere. You just wait.
2. How the heck would I know??? I don’t know anything about your case.

Dear Brit,
In FAQ which says CHECKING THE ESC page-how to check without mistakes.
Which you explained the confirmation have fields as shown below:
ENTRANT NAME:
CONFIRMATION NUMBER:
YEAR OF BIRTH:
DIGITAL SIGNATURE:
My question is this DIGITAL SIGNATURE that I don’t have in 1NL OR
DS 260 confirmation page. Where do I have it when I have 2NL or later ?
Thanks in advance
I
December 2, 2017 at 16:11
You don’t need to enter the digital signature.
December 3, 2017 at 19:17
Hello Sir, I have some questions for u, please.
1- We are thinking of not taking our children to the USA with us for now but I already filled “yes” that they will travel with us in the ds260 form. Should I unlock and say “no” or we all could still go through, get visas then they stay while I and my wife go and come for them latter?
2-if I unlock and say “no”, will it still be easy to bring them to the USA latter?
3-if we all go ahead and get visas, will it be easy to bring them to the USA?
3-it this risky for our case, now and in the future?
4-how long can we stay before bringing them to the USA if they stayed behind?
5-can the ds260 be unlocked more than one time?
6- how to unlock ds260 for a derivative?
December 4, 2017 at 04:47
1. You could unlock and say no.
2. No. It will be expensive and take about 2 years. Usually, that is a bad decision.
3. Yes
3 again. See 2.
4. All must enter before expiry date on the visa (6 months after the medical.
5. Yes
6. Same as main selectee – but you specify the derivative as being the form you want unlocked.
December 4, 2017 at 05:51
Wow!!! Thanks for your time sir.
Please, what if we all go ahead and get visas and the children stay behind for more than 6 months, about 2 years. will that cause us problems when we want to come for them?
Thanks again, Sir.
December 4, 2017 at 14:43
Just a more complicated, expensive and slow process as I said.
December 7, 2017 at 14:01
I have winner dv2018 my case No AF18xxx when Respect interview ?
Thank you very much
December 7, 2017 at 14:35
Did you read the article above??
December 7, 2017 at 08:29
Hi dear.
Me and my husband won DV and filled the forms in May2017 and live in Canada and got visitor visa now and want to go to US for 6 months.
As I see in DC260 first page; ” I am in the United States and want to adjust status without leaving the United States. Send my case to USCIS.”
1-If I change the location to US and in case my visitor visa expire in 6 months and still not get the interview , do I should leave US or I can stay until to get the Green Card?
2-Can our case go under “Administrative Processing” in US too or is just in embassy they do?
3-By USCIS is faster progress than embassy?
4-Our case number is 2018AS 6200. Do you recommend us to go to US or stay in Canada until interview?
Thanks so much
The answer are very important for our life.
Ellie
December 7, 2017 at 14:49
Do not try to do that. Entering the USA with intention to adjust status will cause denial of your case.
December 7, 2017 at 16:09
Hi Simon,
I am DV2018 selectee and my wife is the derivative. In the DS260 i wrote her full name as it is mentioned in her passport. my concern is she hasn’t changed her name after marriage …she hasn’t changed to my last name in her passport. Would that pose any problems at the interview?
I know I shouldn’t ask this question but with your experience would you be able guess when i would be called for an interview? my number is AF25XXX
Many thanks Simon and appreciate your help.
Cheers!
December 7, 2017 at 18:36
If she hasn’t changed her name – there is no problem.
No guesses.

Dear Brit,
No words to thank you!
I have read the below statement on the US department of state web site.
“A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials have authority to grant or deny admission”
1. I thought, once we receive our visa, there are no additional “things” that we need to worry about:) Please advise
2. Will spouse (of the principal applicant) be interviewed?
Thank you so much and have a blessed day!
December 14, 2017 at 14:27
1. The entry to the USA is a formality.
2. The spouse must attend the interview.

Sorry Brit for putting you under pressure with all this doubts and stress,Guys I think if there is any other time that we need to pray.and be positive is now.So let us all call on our higher power and just be patient,it is defnately not the first time that the bulletin is not out by this time,Brit did advise us that the bulletin comes out on the.15th so it happens every year and people panick when it does not come out.It is early lets just hang in there.Brit says 2018 dv is safe,lets just take that,that is the info he has.If he knew something else he was going to tell us,he is a straight forward guy.

No. The numbers for Egypt and Ethiopia are WITHIN the 14300 for Africa. The case numbers as assigned by region.

When you repeat a question without reading my previous response, it is a waste of my precious time.

Hi Brit tanks for the good work u r doing,my brother won the lottery with his daughter but the mother doesn’t want the father to go with the girl because the marriage is divorce now,can he still use his daughter’s name to fill or it can cause denied ,pls we need ur advice
December 16, 2017 at 16:23
If he doesn’t have full custody he may not be allowed to take the child.

Hi brit,
First I wanna to thank u for ur restless supporting. just I have 4 questions about ds260 form
But, really am sorry for bothering u repeatedly.
1. In travel documentation, if I don’t have passport yet. How can I fill the travel documentation box?
2. In education, if I want to qualify with education, should I select…no… for the question of “does this occupation requires 2 years experience or training”. I graduated in 2016.
3. The question which asks “Did any one assisted u to fill this form”
If answer yes, because of my sister was assisted me from europe while I am in Africa due to internet connection problem of my country. But, just I reopened the form and I am filling with out any help of others. What will its affect to my process. can I select….no?…. because already I reopened and I will resubmitt it myself. If it’s must to select…yes…what will its affect to my process.
4. I graduated in technical school with certificate(10+2) and also I graduated from allied health professionals with diploma(12+2) from college. My technical certificate 10+2…..10 is grade 10 and +2 is 2 years of study for both academic (11th & 12th) and vocational subjects)
My college diploma is 12+2 ….12 is completed secondary education(12th
with academy. +2 is for the 2 years of study of allied health profession in college. When I was I technical school I was took secondary education examination for academy and I got diploma. after I serve 2 years for technical . Then I was join to college due to my secondary examination result to study my diploma program.
at last I want to ask u,
As I wasn’t joined directly to college from technical school, I mean I was took secondary education examination in 12th grade. Does this can affect my process?
Because I read in ur blog about vocational education is Nat satisfy for dv even u continue directly or latter on. My college education(health) is different from my technical education ( technic).
Thanks in advance sir
God bless u with all ur family.

1. Give other official ID.
2. If you are talking about a job, you simply answer the question.
3. Don’t overthink this trivial question. Pick yes or no – it doesn’t matter.
4. I don’t know the education system in your country – so I cannot answer your question.
December 16, 2017 at 23:47
Yes he doesn’t have the full custody as u saying but he is still fighting to get her but will that cause his denied if he doesn’t move with the child?
December 17, 2017 at 05:58
No
