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.

Hi Brit?
Am the principal applicant.
1. I filled the place of birth of my mother-in-law as the place he now lives but should be another place.
2. My Father-in-law has four names, I filled the last two names as surnames, but it should the last one only.
should I leave it or correct at the interview or should I just request KCC to unlock.
August 7, 2017 at 12:21
Unlock.
August 7, 2017 at 15:06
thanks. will unlock
August 7, 2017 at 12:49
Hi dear Brit I used another name in my grade 10 to12 documents. but I didnt filled it in my ds260 was submited.should I unlock it?
August 7, 2017 at 12:53
Yes
August 7, 2017 at 18:49
So, for the month of September,2018 , do you know any cutoffs? I mean what would be the next range for Nepal
August 7, 2017 at 18:55
You mean the final number for the year? No, I don’t know.
August 7, 2017 at 19:07
dear simon i will ask you this question only,faithfully.i have selected for dv 2018
1.the age in my transcript document is not the same as with the age that i have in dv , so does this has an effect
August 7, 2017 at 20:01
No.
August 7, 2017 at 21:20
I have got denied 2 times for B2 Tourist visa this will affect my DV visa result?
August 7, 2017 at 21:43
Probably not. They normally deny non immigrant visas because they believe you will overstay and become an immigrant. With the DV win – that is not a concern – in fact it proves they were right!
August 8, 2017 at 07:37

Hi this Haile I’m submit DV 2018 but still I’m waiting Kcc massage for interview ? How long takes to call interview thinks
August 8, 2017 at 15:33
The article above answer this question.
August 8, 2017 at 16:56
Faith
Hello Brit.I am Dv 2018.with case number 19***.I filled my D’s 260 without my passport number and passport will be ready by September.
1_can I collect and reoppen my D’s 260 and summit my passport number.or just just present the passport number on the day of my interview. Wouldn’t it cause delay. Thanks a lot and stay blessed.
August 9, 2017 at 00:25
Either way is fine. Unlocking is safer and normally won’t cause delay.
August 9, 2017 at 10:12
Hi Brit , I was selected for the dv2018 and I responded back my ds-260 form on 4th May. My CN 2018AF14**8 I would like time ask a few questions.
1) For this question have you received all the vaccinations under the U.S. law: yes or no? I answered yes do I need to unlock it since I haven’t been immunized all the vaccines as per the U.S law? However I have the mandatory immunization from my country.
2) I was denied my F-1 visa because the OC said I showed that I had immigrant intent. Will this affect my green card?
3) I indicated I shall be staying with my Auntie is there anything required from her?
August 9, 2017 at 14:27
1. Correct answer.
2. No – because you OBVIOUSLY have immigrant intent when applying for a GC.
3. Possibly – read this britsimonsays.com/all-about-public-charge-affidavit-of-support-i-134/
August 15, 2017 at 09:04
Dear MR Brit i have a similar question. For this question have you received all the vaccinations under the U.S. law: yes or no? i answered yes thinking it will be the medical am going to do bfore my interview.am i correct o i need to unlock. what will be your best advice?
August 15, 2017 at 15:39
The correct answer is no – but answering yes won’t cause a problem, so no need ton correct it.
August 9, 2017 at 12:56
Hi Brit, really appreciate your contributions. In ds260 form, I came across a question which is if I have lived anywhere other than my present address since the age of sixteen. I’m a Liberian but due to the war, i travelled to Nigeria along with my parents 1996 and returned 2004 immediately after my high school and since then I’ve not travelled anywhere. I learnt that any residence over 12 months in another country should provide police certificate. I want to know if the Liberia police certificate will cover me up because I don’t have much access to Nigeria anymore. Please advice
August 9, 2017 at 14:18
Read the reciprocity page for Nigeria as you should have a police cert from that country.
August 9, 2017 at 23:20
Hi am dv 2018 winner with cn 2018AF4xxx
The initial entery my name appear Braimah Sumani Abdul-Fatawu but on my birth certificate, passport it is Abdul-Fatawu Braimah.
On my Voters ID it is Braimah S. A. Fatawu
Where S is Sumani and A is Abdul
1. When filling the ds 260 should write the Sumani at other names used or I should just ignore it
2. Do the ask of voters ID during interview since that is the only document that captured my grandfather name Sumani
August 9, 2017 at 23:34
1. Use the other names used if needed.
2. I doubt they will ask for that.
August 10, 2017 at 12:35
I really don’t understand that statement other names used, in my case do i need to add my grandfather name or I should just ignore it since it doesn’t appear in any of my documents but was captured in the edv initial entering and my voter ID
Please what should I do am a little bit confused about what to do there
Many thanks to you
August 10, 2017 at 13:45
Use other names used for the grandfather name – because you used it.
August 10, 2017 at 15:32
Oh OK thanks a lot Mr Brit may the almighty Allah bless you
August 10, 2017 at 15:45
Sorry for asking you a series of questions
My name on my educational documents is A. Fatawu but passport birth cert and ds260 it is Abdul-Fatawu so I went to court for affidavit to write the A. In full as Abdul-Fatawu
1. Do I need to upload the court documents in ds260 or I will just keep it when going for interview
2. I hope going For affidavit in my case is necessary or is irrelevant
Many many thanks to you
August 10, 2017 at 16:03
1. Interview.
2. Your choice.
August 10, 2017 at 16:22
I have a chance to go to china for little training for one month and the training is in October . can it affect my DV process ?
August 10, 2017 at 19:01
Only if you are away when your interview is booked.
August 10, 2017 at 20:20
Hey dear Brit, I was submited m6 Ds250 in may but i was unlockdd and resubmited in june.is it cosidered as a late submition? Thank you.
August 10, 2017 at 21:37
Hi Brit, please advise:
1.Before signing and submission DS-260 I saw a page called “Interview location” and I can’t see there any location, but I have chosed location as a country of residence. Is it a problem that on this page location is not show?
2.Confirmation page should be for each applicant ( 1 applicant and 2 derivatives= 3 conf. pages)?
3. For child it is also necessary to apply for the SSN?
Thanks
August 10, 2017 at 21:45
1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes
August 10, 2017 at 22:41
Dear Brit, I remember someone already asked this question, but I don’t remember the answer.
1. While submitting the DS-260 on behalf of the child how to answer a question: Has anyone assist you in preparing this application? Yes or No?
Thanks as always
August 10, 2017 at 23:58
It doesn’t really matter which answer you pick.
August 11, 2017 at 13:35
Hi Brit, with the help of your awesome blog I have finally submitted my DS )))
Thank you thousand times!
I have read yor newest post about backlogs and quick processing and have a question:
1. Does that mean that even late submission of the DS does not matter now if the number is low?
For example if the EU 48XX due to the late submission should have been interviewed in January or February next year now it is likely will be interviewed in November-December this year and so for all regions?
Thanks
August 11, 2017 at 13:55
Possibly – this is new – so we will have to see how it works.
August 10, 2017 at 21:41
No
August 11, 2017 at 10:21
Hi Brit please I have ask my senior brother in U S to endorse affidavit of support for me
So do I need to upload that document when filling the ds 260 or it will be only needed at the interview ground
Many thanks to you
August 11, 2017 at 14:09
You show it at the interview. PLEASE read the FAQs!
August 11, 2017 at 22:36
my number is 2018ASxxxxx !!! is that so high or low ? Am i supposed to rush filling DS-260?
August 11, 2017 at 22:56
YOu have hidden all the numbers – so am I supposed to guess?
August 11, 2017 at 23:14
my number is 2018AS0001xxxx1 !!! is that so high or low ? Am i supposed to rush filling DS-260?
August 12, 2017 at 00:16
Well again – you only revealed that the number is probably between 10001 and 19991. So yes – it is high – no need to rush.
August 11, 2017 at 23:28
Hello,
A couple of days ago, an applicant reported here that he and his wife got a denied access to enter the US, because of his wife being pregnant, and in spite of their visa.
I was wondering how a pregnancy could potentially impact on a DV case.
Thank you
August 12, 2017 at 00:33
They were entering on a non immigrant visa – so that is why they were denied entry. There is no impact the a DV case.
August 12, 2017 at 14:07
Hii Brit
I am dv2018 selected amonths ago I fill my ds260 but I didnt get a message abut my interview schedule yet ,is that it takes time to get that? Thanks Brit
August 12, 2017 at 14:25
Yes. Read this.

August 12, 2017 at 22:34
Hi Mr Brit assuming I have been ask to provide text messages whatsapp chat calls logs and so on at the interview ground how how can I provide them since electronic materials are not allowed to be send inside
August 13, 2017 at 01:12
Hello Mr Simon thanks for your awesome support you are doing
1. How will kcc know that your passport picture was previously used if the picture and the real image still look the same
2. Are the Disqualifying people based on grounds of old pictures at the interview
3. If I put my grandfather name on the others name used do I need to proof by documents that it is not part of my legal names.
Am so worried about the picture disqualification
August 13, 2017 at 15:02
1. Computer software can match photos very well now.
2. In previous years, that has happened – but rarely. IN DV2018 there is an additional instruction about reusing photos from DV2017 entries – but we don’t know yet whether people like that will be refused.
3. You might be asked for some proof.
The way to avoid worry is be truthful and follow instructions.
August 13, 2017 at 15:12
Use your imagination.
August 13, 2017 at 01:27
Hi Mr Brit
1.do kcc or consulate keep records of the numbers of time you play with the dv programm
2.if you are not been selected within a fical year will your data be discard? bcoz I can see from other people interview experience that the do ask whether this was their first time playing the dv
August 13, 2017 at 14:59
1. Yes
2. No – the data is not discarded.
August 13, 2017 at 08:19
hi,
the winner is my wife, we have splling mismatch in my last name, in Dv entry we wrote “Elbasheir ” while on my passport is “Elbasheir”, i submitted ds260 with correct name, is this effect on our visa approved?
August 13, 2017 at 14:49
Normally it would be OK unless they think it was deliberate fraud.
August 13, 2017 at 13:46
Hello!Brit.I am a edv winner of edv 2018 and my case no.is15** from Asia.can you please tell me when will I receive my second letter notification?

Read the article above and answer your own question.
August 13, 2017 at 16:31
Hi Mr Brit assuming I have been ask to provide text messages whatsapp chat calls logs and so on at the interview ground how how can I provide them since electronic materials are not allowed to be send inside
Am just confused about what to do about it please kindly give me a clue
August 13, 2017 at 16:42
I already answered – you need to figure something out.
August 14, 2017 at 08:26
Hello Mr Brit am a dv 2018 winner from Ghana and I want to process it with my newly married wife and my child I have been reading wat is in ur blog everyday n night but got too bored along with the Re-used photo at edv entries
1. All my documentations are ready but yet to fill ds260 I just can’t stop thinking of Wat will happen about the re-used photo from previous years
2. How is it possible that the reused photos new instructions will favor 2018 dv winner
3. Am just imagining how a notorious embassy like Ghana will handle this case so upset about it
4. I went through a lot of interviews stories in ur blog but never hear any one saying he or she was disqualify base on reused photo can you please tell me if u r been disqualify base on reused photos the CO notification will be reused or mismatch of information
Many thanks to you
August 14, 2017 at 14:19
Well I am sorry you got bored reading my blog – but we don’t know how the embassies will handle the re-used DV2017 photos yet as this is the first year that instruction was there.
August 14, 2017 at 17:01
Hi brit
August 14, 2017 at 17:06
Hi britsimon
iam from Asia -iraq
I just got my 2NL for dv2018
thanks for your info. Alot
Best wish for every dv2018 selectee
August 14, 2017 at 17:21
Sir please from my initial entries I was single but married December last year. Am just imagining if you paid $990 for family of three and at the end the disqualify you base on reused photos
1. If I list my wife and child on the ds 260 Without creating ds 260 do I need to upload or show marriage certificate and photos at the interview
2. Because of this I thought of not creating ds 260 for my child and my wife even though it will take few years N even cost more than simply dv
August 14, 2017 at 18:52
1. Marriage cert
2. That is idiotic.
By the way – you MUST now change your status on the DS260 to married and list your wife and step child. To not do that would be fraud. I am assuming the child is not your biological child – is that correct?
August 14, 2017 at 20:31
Please your wrong the child is my biological child and am ready to proof to any one by DNA if necessary
I was only talking of listening them because of the reused photo
Am afraid of disqualifying base on that assuming $990 which is equivalent to GHC4500 is to go waste with expensive medical
But all the same I will risk and creat ds260 for all wat ever be the outcome will be accepted in good faith
August 14, 2017 at 20:46
So did you include the child in your original entry?
August 14, 2017 at 22:09
She just gave birth on August 7th this year and I will include all of them to my case Family of three. Am yet to fill the ds260
With cn 2018AF4xxx
August 14, 2017 at 22:56
OK – well that’s good. Yes you have some risk – u just delay submitting your DS260 for a while longer so that you know the outcome for cases with re-used photos. That will delay your interview – but it isn’t a race.
August 15, 2017 at 07:09
I hope if I delay submitting the ds260 up to November this year I will still have chance of interviewing maybe July-August next year. I really want to know how the handle this cases before submitting my ds260
Please Mr Brit incase you get updates of such case kindly inform me
Many thanks to you
August 15, 2017 at 07:21
Many thanks to you for your awesome advice Mr Brit
August 15, 2017 at 19:45
Hello BritSimon
We usually take new photo every year for the dvlottery program, but this year i was very sick i was diagnosed with breast cancer on septemper 2016 so i was in a very bad shaped i was hospitalized taking chemotherapy most of the days in isolation because of my low immunity and we didn’t have a motivation to enter the lottery this year so we didn’t went to take the new photos unfortunately, so in last day of October i decided to enter 2018 lottery for my family’s future (my husband and my Son) so i used our 2017 photos i didn’t read that specific instruction, i did’nt expect to win and i didn’t expect to get well either. Thank God after 8 months of extensive treatment and surgeries now i’m a cancer survivor and my husband is a lottery2018 winner
I think our case number is in the middle, but I can’t wait i’m sooooo worried about disqualification because of re-used photo i’m starting a new life full of hope about better future for me and my family after what we have experience, at the interview i will be very honest about my medical situation and i will bring my medical records i have two questions for you
1-from you opinion do you think they are going to be understanding to our situation or they would disqualifying everyone used an old photo?
2-would my medical condition can cause us refusal knowing that now i’m free from cancer and not taking any medication, our sponsor in USA has an excellent salary and a very big house and me & my husband are highly qualified in our specialty so i will not be a public charge?
August 15, 2017 at 20:00
1. We don’t know. Once interviews are happening, we will be able to get some idea whether this is a problem or not. It is possible that the treatment of this rule infraction will vary from embassy to embassy. So – we need feedback from interviews at various embassies.
2. No it won’t be a problem. As an aside, health insurance is a big deal in the USA. Prior to Obamacare, insurance companies would have been able to refuse you insurance or offer insurance at punitive rates, simply because of your previous health history. Obamacare stopped that ridiculous practice. The Republicans have tried to remove that protection – but thankfully, even some Republicans now understand how important that protection really is – so hopefully that protection will remain.
August 15, 2017 at 21:33
Hi. Pls help me I have received my an email upon the DS260 form I filled.I think it concerns the interview process. So I opened the link they asked me to. Thats the EDV lottery…. Which asked for my confirmation number,last and first name.I filled it but they keep telling me wrong confirmation number.I’m certain I haven’t made any mistake
August 15, 2017 at 21:35
This is the same site you logged into top see if you were selected – so you need the CONFIRMATION number, not the case number.
August 15, 2017 at 22:00
I just did that. I have done everything correctly but still I get information not valid. Besides I have just two names ANIKA TELMA with no last name. So I dont know what to do.
August 15, 2017 at 23:12
One of your names will be in the system as the last name. If you REALLY can’t log in – send me you details to britsimon3 at gmail and I will email you back with what you have to enter.
August 15, 2017 at 22:23

Hi brit, my husband won the DV lottery and we arrived to the us August 1st. He already received his SSN buy mine hasn’t arrived yet. Is it normal or should I go to a SSN office? I know it takes three weeks. But I don’t know if the ss cards should have arrived together?
August 16, 2017 at 14:22
They don’t always arrive together. Patience.

hi Mr Simon
I traveled to America twice. First in 2011 alone for 12 days and the second with my family 2014 for 50 days and my visa was renewed in 2016 for another 5 years and .and when my family renewing their visas at the end of 2016 all were canceled and he requested my passport and canceled my visa also without reasons and finally i was selected in the 2018 migration as a principal applicant …
Is canceling the visas in this way affects the interview?
I would like to apologize for the length
with a lot my thanks

I read a post about KCC knowing the number of times a person has played the EVD.I’m bit worried because I played couple with my sister n later played as child with my parents n we won.
Is there any risk during interview that my previous entry could be detected?
Should I just stay away from the interview?
August 17, 2017 at 20:26
Those entries would not make any difference.
August 18, 2017 at 16:36
Pls clearly explain
August 18, 2017 at 04:51

I’m bit confused about these questions
1.how many times have you applied for dv visa?
Are they talking about the number of times you have enter the lottery or the number of times you won n was denied dv visa.
Pls help.
August 18, 2017 at 17:06
I’m not sure where you read that question – I think they mean entries.
August 18, 2017 at 19:50
Dear Brit excuse me once again, I want to know how mony dv winer to be interviewed in october for Ethiopia?
August 18, 2017 at 21:15
I don’t know how many interviews will be held. But it is up to 2100 Ethiopia.
August 18, 2017 at 21:22
Hi Brit
I am dv2018 selected and last may I fill my ds260. My passport will expire on November 2018.
Will it be a problem? Or should I renew my passport before interview?
Thanks
August 18, 2017 at 22:00
It depends on when you will be interviewed – what is your case number?
August 18, 2017 at 22:17
it’s AS64**.
August 18, 2017 at 22:36
So your interview cannot happen before summer of next year – so yes – you will need to renew your passport before the interview. Do that around spring of next year, then unlock your DS260 and update the new passport number.
