At the time of writing it is a few days after the DV2020 results were made available. People have noticed that I am suggesting people don’t rush to submit their DS260. I would even say that the majority of cases should NOT be submitting their DS260 – and I want to explain that advice.
As I have mentioned in a couple of other articles, we are seeing some VERY high case numbers in all regions, and that could mean this is a very over selected year. There are 50,000 visas available. It is “normal” to select more than that as winners (because some cases won’t continue the process), but a good number would be less than 90k or 100k at most. In some previous years we have seen KCC select 125k and even 140k. If they have done that again this year it will be INEVITABLE that some cases will not become current (i.e. will not get an interview).
So – we will see selectee numbers (by country and region) in one of the next 3 Visa Bulletins. There is one to be released this week, then about the same time in the coming months. So – one of those VBs will give us an important number – the selectee number. From that we can determine whether this is a normal selection year with a lot more holes than usual (because of some new procedure). OR this is an over selected year.
Until then people should hold back their DS260 unless their case number is very low. Why? Well several reasons.
- Submitting the DS260 early does not speed up your case. You cannot be interviewed before your case number is ready. Not under any circumstances.
- Most people haven’t bothered to read and understand the procedure so they will rush and later realize they made mistakes, some of which will cause problems.
- Submitting a DS260 is a serious thing. It is an immigrant application, and once that has been submitted you forever have to declare you have made an application to emigrate to the USA. If you do not get a GC through the lottery will will have declared “immigrant intent” which can make future NON immigrant visa applications harder to get approved. Not impossible, but harder.
So – unless your number is LOW, I would recommend you wait a couple of months at least. It won’t harm you by waiting, this is not first come first served, and it could save you some pain later.
By “low” I mean the following by region.
EU and AF region Under 15,000.
AS region under 5000
SA and OC under 500.
Numbers higher than that will probably not even be current (eligible for interview) in 2019. They would get interviews in 2020 only. So why rush???
May 26, 2019 at 17:25
Hey brit!
In DS-260 in “other names” section missed to put in my wives maiden name. is that a significant point? Do i need to ask kcc to unblock forms?
May 26, 2019 at 18:08
If you are DV2020 yes unlock and correct that. For DV2019 no because time is running short.
May 26, 2019 at 18:07
Hi brit
what is the chance of case number 2020AS66## ,is it safe
should I submit my ds260 or Waite for some time
May 26, 2019 at 18:18
You can submit if you want.
May 27, 2019 at 11:45
What about case number 66## is’t high ? There’s a chance?
May 27, 2019 at 14:56
Not high.
May 28, 2019 at 19:13
My case number is around dat!!can we chat??
May 28, 2019 at 19:59
yes , sure
May 27, 2019 at 09:04
HI…Thank you for your useful information. i have been selected for DV2020 but i have some questions that needs some information to apply for DS-260 form online. My CN is 2020AS17XXX.
1. Is my No safe ?
2. I am from Srilanka and if i have G.C.S.E O/L and a Higher diploma in Software Engineering (HDSE) from an institute, is this enough for me to get qualified through education requirements ?
3. Qualifying through work experience – having your qualification in IT and had work experience in different industries which is not related to IT , will that be OK ?
4. My wife will give birth to our second child next month June 2019,I have already included my wife and my first child in my initial application, in this case when will be the right time for me to fill up the DS-260 form online ? can i wait for another 3 to 4 months so that i can arrange my second child’s documents like Birth certificate,passport,etc ?
5. if i have traveled overseas for 1 to 3 months or 3 to 6 months then is it a must you have to include your address of stay on those countries which i have traveled to ?
Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my concerns.
May 27, 2019 at 14:36
1. I don’t know.
2. I don’t know.
3. It depends on the work experience.
4. Yes wait. No advantage to rushing.
5. No. You generally don’t list short trips like that because you were still “living” at your home.
May 28, 2019 at 07:09
Thank you for your reply. ….
How do I find out if my CN is safe and how to find out if my qualifications is enough to get qualified …Should I email KCC and find out or the local US embassy ?
If it’s back to back short trips like 3 months away then back home and in a week’s time away form home country for another 3 to 6 months ??? Then what should I do ????
Thanks agains
May 28, 2019 at 13:57
You don’t know your safe. You wait.
You can contact the embassy about the qualifications or check their website.
Again, I am assuming you maintained your permanent address.
May 27, 2019 at 11:39
Hi Brit,
Based on the previous years, what’s the highest numbers that had been called for an interview in Africa?
May 27, 2019 at 14:55
Its a pointless question (because each year is different), but you can see historical numbers above.
May 29, 2019 at 13:25
Hello Hany, are you from Egypt? do u have a high case number as well? mine is 65XxX
May 29, 2019 at 23:26
Yeah 72XXX 😀
I have heard higher numbers as well! Seems that there’s something new happening this year.
June 10, 2019 at 07:06
Hi, am also from the AF region with 2020AF 658xx. CN. Like Brit Advised is too early to deliberate on the numbers. Hopefully the year favours our numbers.
May 30, 2019 at 08:04
68XXX too
May 30, 2019 at 16:31
Last year the highest number was for Africa was 39500…
May 27, 2019 at 15:31
I wrote my name in the application
Hadeel mohamedahmed omer
As they asked about middle name mohamedahmed and last name omer
Now i have all my formal paper with
Hadeel mohamedahmed omer ahmed
My passport, certificates and birthday card.
Do i have to change my paper to match application name ??
May 27, 2019 at 15:36
Your DS260 should have your correct legal name – normally the same as your passport and birth cert.
May 29, 2019 at 07:09
Hello my number is too high 2020EU51*** is there chance to me ?
May 29, 2019 at 13:23
It is too early to know. Wait until we know more.
May 30, 2019 at 09:17
Can you give me advice when it is good time to submit ds260?
May 30, 2019 at 21:18
You can wait months since your number is high.
June 15, 2019 at 07:07
Hi BritSimon, people must submit ds260 as soon as possible and dont have to wait a several months. As soon as you submit your ds260 application as soon as they process it. Numbes do not mean anything.
Trust me,
June 15, 2019 at 13:19
Well John, you seem to have totally missed the points in my article, or just don’t understand the process. That’s OK – not everyone can understand.
May 29, 2019 at 17:03
Hi Simon and thank you for all the helpful answers.
I am a DV2020 winner and I have gotten married 2 years ago; I need some help on filling addresses on the DS-260 form. My husband’s passport has a different address than mine (each state the parents address), but we currently live together at his parents place. so:
– Should the DS-260 form for each of us reflect the same address as in the passport? or
– Should we put the address where we currently live even if the address in my passport is different? or
– I have to issue new ID and passport with my current address before submitting DS-260?
Thank you in advance.
May 29, 2019 at 20:35
Use your actual current address.
May 30, 2019 at 16:36
My case number is high 55xxxx,,,for Africa region is there any chance my the to called ?please help
May 30, 2019 at 21:29
It is too early to know. Wait a couple of months when we know more.
May 30, 2019 at 22:26
Hi Simon
I opened my ds260 for make some modification and i don’t wont close it now
does is a proplem
Thank you
May 30, 2019 at 22:29
No
May 31, 2019 at 18:27
Thanks for your help
May 31, 2019 at 11:41
I sent my ds260 the minute after I got the result of being selected to dv2020.
They made it sound in the instructions like you must do it ASAP.
anyway, I later realized I won’t get an interview until late 2020, if at all.
My question is, and I know it’s a long shot – is it possible to contact them and request to cancel my form so I could refill it later? I read that they can open it for changes but can they just delete it and let me start over?
I want to know because many things will change in my life this year. I may even move to the US on H1B visa and then will have to adjust status (which doesn’t correspond with my current ds260)
May 31, 2019 at 14:05
No you cannot withdraw it.
May 31, 2019 at 14:50
I thought so. What can I do then with all these changes? should I contact them so they can open it for changes?
May 31, 2019 at 16:27
Usually they will unlock the DS260 for you to make changes.
June 15, 2019 at 07:13
My Friend was selected for 2019 and he got his visa within 4 months. He completed his ds260 form in May 2019 and got an interview in October 2019. After wining, i took him 6 months in total.
Most of these comments are falls information
June 15, 2019 at 13:22
… because he had a low case number and the new document procedure wasn’t in place. Are you so confused about the process to not understand even the simplest of processes?
Please don’t say things are “falls” (you mean false), when in reality you don’t know what you are talking about. Sit back, read, and learn.
June 25, 2019 at 08:50
Sir, you are telling he interviewed October 2019, do you know which month of 2019 we are ?
June 25, 2019 at 19:38
“John” is obviously one sandwich short of a full picnic.
May 31, 2019 at 13:30
Dear Brit,
Thank you so much for your helpful information. when I entered my husband surname in the field of the DS260 the system tells me that there is a problem in the data that I entering. my husband surname in his passport is(H.Amin). Please I do not know how can I change it because it is his ID passport name?
Thank you for answering
May 31, 2019 at 14:08
The full stop denotes the H is an initial, not part of the surname.
May 31, 2019 at 21:34
Hi brit, first of for l would like to thank you for your guide and positive response. Afterthat i have one questions; could you know or heard the highest CN of 2020AF? Please tell me because i am stressed.
May 31, 2019 at 22:49
I have seen AF numbers slightly over 70,000
June 1, 2019 at 05:04
Thank you again brit, I am fine now; because my CN is lower than 70,000 (my CN is 2020AF643xx).
June 1, 2019 at 13:25
Why do you think that is fine?
June 1, 2019 at 17:22
Hello Brit, in connection to such high case numbers. Are there situations where such numbers are considered for interviews?
My mom got selected in dv2015 with cn AF69xxx. She never got any correspondence from KCC.
June 1, 2019 at 18:36
We don’t know how many selectees have been chosen this year, so it is too early to assume a number is high. In a couple of months we will know more.
June 1, 2019 at 08:19
Hi Brit! Thank you for all your efforts! You’re so great! My question is about affidavit of support. Our CN is AF202056***. Our sponsor (my aunt) is a retiree without any business but can cover us 4 with her assets (ie. Bank account, cars,house, pension…) Will that be fine or should we find someone who is currently employed? Thanks in advance!
June 1, 2019 at 13:32
Needs to be someone employed. Your number is high so read the article above.
June 1, 2019 at 11:22
Hi Brit..It’s been three weeks since i submitted ds260 for 2020 and i haven’t received an email confirmation by KCC.Is it a problem or i just have to wait?
June 1, 2019 at 13:40
Wait.
June 1, 2019 at 11:45
Hi Brit,
I have added my US living location in one place and he can’t provide me a affidavit of support since he was not enough income as expected. So i decided to unlock my ds260 and change the living location to where my new sponsor live.
My questions are,
01. will it cause to delay my case anyway?
02. Or should i leave without changes?
03. Two addresses for gc delivery and affidavit support cause a problem?
Thanks
June 1, 2019 at 13:41
Change at the interview. Two addresses are OK
June 1, 2019 at 20:14
Hello simon
I have primary school
And I am now a pharmacist assistant In a hospital and I have two years of experience Before this I was working as a security man in a school I also have 3 years of experience
Are these certificates equivalent to a secondary certificate?
June 2, 2019 at 08:20
Hey Brit!
For dv 2020
I asked to unlock ds 260 form for one of the family members and noticed there is a question about social media accounts link. 2 weeks ago there was no such. Shall amI ask to unlock remaining forms to add the social accounts links? And is there any harm if i ask fir unlock multiple times?
June 2, 2019 at 14:38
You can unlock. That is discussed in the FAQ.
June 2, 2019 at 13:57
Hi brit
I have submitted ds 260 on 29th may (case number under 2k) but my education certificates will get on sept . When i will receive notification of 2nd letter?
June 2, 2019 at 16:12
Over the next few weeks KCC will give you instructions about submitting your documents. You will only get your 2NL once that has happened. The EARLIEST 2NLs for DV2020 cases will go out in late August. Patience.
June 2, 2019 at 21:10
Hi Brit
My CN exceeds 70k when should I expect my interview _ if happened _for DV2020?
June 2, 2019 at 21:19
At least a year from now, but maybe never. Dont submit your ds260 yet. In a couple of months we will know more.
June 4, 2019 at 18:33
hi brit
My CN bumber is 29** i’m from nepal. i have submitted my DS-260 form but my address has been mistake while submitting the form. would i be able to correct that adress again?
June 4, 2019 at 19:17
Read the FAQ on how to unlock.
June 6, 2019 at 17:50
what is the chance for CN 29** in asia region?
June 6, 2019 at 20:03
Fine.
June 12, 2019 at 08:46
hi bro me too from nepal lets get connected i am also having same problem.
June 13, 2019 at 06:51

June 18, 2019 at 16:16
Yes
June 5, 2019 at 09:55
Hi Brit,
My husband is selected for dv2020 with CN EU21XXX. I have 2 questions:
1. At the moment I am pregnant and should deliver in couple of months. As we want to prolong our first trip to US (because of the baby), I would like to ask for your opinion for the ideal timing to fill ds260 in order to get the interview somewhere in june/july 2020. Should we send the ds260 at the end of 2019 or wait untill the beginning of 2020?
2. As I understand from your blog after receiving the visa at the embassy we will have 6 months to fly to US, where we can stay for some period and come back home. Meanwhile, after receiving the green card we will have 12 months to prepare for the move? Am I getting the steps right?
Thanks for all your work with this blog.
June 5, 2019 at 13:30
1. 2020. But the real key is document submission. Hold those back until March/April.
2. Please read the FAQ article about that.
June 5, 2019 at 19:07
Hi britsimon first i appreciated for your endless and timely help thanks a lot..
I want to ask u
I am from ethiopia and i was selected for dv 2020
My CN is Af25xxx
1.I haerd rumours saying submitting the ds 260 form early will increase your chance to get GC. Then i started to fill it but aborted it while i was in the middle of the questions so is there a problem and what about the rumour saying early applicants hve more chance than late entries.
2. For the past 12 years i was moving from one area to another for undergraduate campus, work and postgraduate study so is it must to writte them all.
I would like to Thank u again zilion times
June 5, 2019 at 19:16
1. The rumor is untrue.
2. You don’t have to include short periods for holidays and so on, but if you “lived” somewhere else, list that address.
June 5, 2019 at 19:59
Tahnk u so much
Some areas i was there more than a year
What about my Cn
June 5, 2019 at 19:25
Hello BritSimon,
Is it ok to go through the D260 form just to familarise yourself with it and close it without saving it.
June 5, 2019 at 19:37
Yes
June 7, 2019 at 01:57
Hello Brit,
Is there any website we can get the historical selectee number and issued number for a specific country?
Many thanks for your reply.
June 7, 2019 at 02:29
Google DV lottery statistics
June 7, 2019 at 02:30
Hi,
You can use this link to check historic selectees
https://dvcharts.xarthisius.xyz/ceacFY19.html
June 7, 2019 at 10:37
Anyways, we look forward to what the future holds for DV2020 random selectees. Regardless of Case Number, we were told to start and complete the DS 260 form ASAP coz delay could cause problem. I believe most of us would have completed the DS 260, thus giving prominence to the advice of urgency related to the DS 260 submission. The question that begs to mind is why not a selectee is advice the timeline a particular Case Number is expected to complete the DS 260 form rather left to carry on haphazardly ?
June 7, 2019 at 14:49
People rarely follow instructions and if you have one chance where MAYBE you have their attention it is in the 1NL, and there the “safest” instruction was to tell them to fill it in fast. Safest, but not wisest.
June 7, 2019 at 14:56
Hi Brit I am Elias from Ethiopia. My case Number is AF244XX I filled the DS 260 form today and sumbitted it today. But now I realised i did some wrongs.
1. I said i did not take any vaccinations (so should it be a yes or will they ask me to get one and i do not have to change it)
2. I said no to the Social Security Number Adminstartion to issue me a SSN and card (but now i think it should b yes)
3. When wdo you think i will be interviewed based on my case number and how are my chances?
Thank You for your help!!
June 7, 2019 at 15:12
1. No is the correct answer.
2. Doesn’t matter, you can apply yourself.
3. It’s fine.
June 7, 2019 at 15:20
Okay two more questions
1. Can you estimate when i could be interviewed?
2. About my social media profile i used the email i use to login to fb is this one correct or do i have to contact kcc to edit it to my name.
June 7, 2019 at 17:35
1. Wait and see.
2. If that is your username it should be ok.
June 9, 2019 at 06:53
Hello Brit,
I dont have any relation or friend in USA with citizenship or PR.Can I add anyone who lives in USA without citizenship to my ds 260
June 9, 2019 at 14:59
For a US address it can be a non citizen, but if we are talking about a sponsor it should be a legal perm resident.
June 9, 2019 at 15:02
Thank you Brit. You are doing a great job ???
June 10, 2019 at 16:49
Hello brit,
Could you plz give me any article related to sponsor process.bcz I need to know more info to find a sponsor.
Thank you in advance
June 10, 2019 at 20:22
Did you read the FAQ or search for I-134?
June 11, 2019 at 03:07
Im sorry brit i didnt read or search about it.could you plz send me the links for those
Thank you

June 11, 2019 at 08:19
hi Brit ,1. can i view my already submitted DS-260 form even if i don’t want to edit it ?? I want to have a look at it and cross check everything i wrote .
also to determine a number whether high or low based on previous experience , do i need to consider the zeros or zeros are not considered example , AF0001234 /AF1234 ( when saying the number is high or low do the zeros infront count ??
June 11, 2019 at 12:55
1. You can look at the completed DS260, no problem.
2. Zeros in front of a number are meaningless. James Bond was 007. That means number 7.
June 11, 2019 at 14:33
thanks Brit
so how do i look for the completed DS260??through which link??
June 11, 2019 at 15:53
You log in to your CEAC page where you first filled out your DS260.
June 11, 2019 at 12:49
Thanks Britsimon for answers on this blog.I want to understand if the was mistake made in your name during the entry process of the dv(eg.Middle name was put to first and first to middle).If you made the correction on the ds260 form,will first information stay be sent during your interview ?
June 11, 2019 at 13:10
They have the details you entered on the entry, yes.
June 11, 2019 at 20:35
Thanks Simon,After the correction has been made on ds260 form will the counsellor accept the correction or not?Especially when it comes to misplacement of the middle name to the first name or first name to middle name.
June 13, 2019 at 07:34
Hi brit, thanks for the wonderful site…am from Kenya,,my host is different with sponsor..my host refused to send me her financials statement but told me she will host me…my sponsor send me aos and passport copy which I presented during interview..
Am on AP… After interview Officer told me the sponsor to send IRS,she also asked me how the two can assist me because they are in different states and they don’t know each other…,he gave me a yellow paper and told me each to write a letter explaining how each will assist me.i talked with the sponsor and told me she will write a letter to the embassy stating that she is ready to host and sponsor until I settle….my question is..
1.is it okay for my sponsor to write a letter and send ( send all remaining documents)
2.will the officer change my host or I have to write a letter stating they charge for me..
3.is there a problem if the host won’t write a letter..
June 13, 2019 at 19:17
1. Get your sponsor to complete an I-134.
2. I don’t understand.
3. Yes.
June 13, 2019 at 08:21
Brit sir. My interview is after 10 days. I am from Nepal with CN AS56**.
1.In the Context of Nepal is it compulsory to Show Affidavit of support or Bank Balance Statement will be Ok?
2. If Affidavit of support is compulsory, then what to do sir? My sponsor doesnt have enough income to support us. we are a family of 4. But we have enough bank balance to support us and not to become a public charge.
Please Clarify Me Sir. I am searching for other sponsor but all of them dont have enough income to support us. My interview is about to Come. What to do sir? Please give me some time For this question sir. You are great.you helped me a lot in my Dv journey.
June 13, 2019 at 19:28
1. You and I have discussed this before. Do what you want to give yourself the best chance.
2. Again, already discussed with you. Several times.
June 13, 2019 at 08:34
Pawan bro your DV year 2020 or 2019??
June 14, 2019 at 02:17
What is the use of sponsorship for green card holders? I need to information about sponsor. (example-how much income need for sponsor.) Where I want to submit about sponsor. Do I need to submit sponsor detail in DS-260 form?
June 14, 2019 at 02:49
https://britsimonsays.com/all-about-public-charge-affidavit-of-support-i-134/
June 14, 2019 at 10:36
Hi Brit, do you have a post summarizing what happens after submitting DS260?
i.e. would we get an email from KCC confirming that the form is ok and accepted!
Is there any correspondence or emails from KCC before or after the 2NL? etc.
Kind Regards
June 14, 2019 at 16:42
There is a guide linked above, a basic questions post, the FAQ and so on.
Lots to read…
June 15, 2019 at 13:32
Mr Simon, I gone through the guide, read majority of the FAQ and searched the net. Unfortunately I did not find a flow chart for what happens after submitting the DS260. Some info are old and outdated due to change of KCC procedure. Since you are the most accurate and reliable source that we really on, we (your followers) appreciate if you can summarize sequence and what to expect to receive from KCC after submitting the form. You are the best who knows.
Kind Regards
June 15, 2019 at 13:45
Really?
This guide is linked from the top of every page on my blog!
https://britsimonsays.com/dv-lottery-guide/
The only “new” thing is the documents, and described here:
https://britsimonsays.com/new-document-submission-procedure-update/
June 15, 2019 at 14:52
Yes Mr Simon, I read the guide. In the guide, between the submission of the DS260 and the interview there is two milestones, 2NL and Submit Documents and Medical Test. My humble question is: do KCC send any other notifications (emails, messages, correspondence) before/after 2NL?
Thank you
June 15, 2019 at 15:52
No.
June 14, 2019 at 10:47
Hello BritSimon,

Hello brit,
Sorry to disturb you again
Im going to fill ds 260 and im from asian region.i have a doubt in the question about vaccination.i dont understand that question well.what is the correct answer for that??
Thank you in advance
June 14, 2019 at 17:25
“No” is the correct answer. You should be using my DS260 guide….
June 14, 2019 at 17:37
Thank you brit.Of course i read your article “completing the ds 260 for dv entrant “.But your answer was yes there.Thats why i had a doubt.now ok.thanks alot brit
June 14, 2019 at 17:43
Nonsense.
Here is what I wrote:
“The second question (about vaccinations) causes some debate. Truthfully it WILL NOT MATTER whether you choose Yes or NO for that particular question. The right answer for 99% of people is NO, because you do not have “documentation to establish…”, even if you do have records of vaccinations. So, it is a subtle point but whether you answer yes or no it will not matter. The vaccinations you actually need will be decided by the panel physician at the time of your medical. So by all means gather whatever vaccination documentation you have.”

Im sorry brit i didnt see this.i just saw the screenshot you add.my fault.thanks alot for this info.
June 15, 2019 at 16:02
hey Brit! thanks for the time you always give to us asking questions most times and about this and that bla bla.
today my questions are,
1: I unlocked the ds260 and I MARKED my spouse is not immigrating with me but she will immigrate later on. does that have any risk upon disqualification?
2: KCCDV emailed me to re-submit my ds-260 immediately after editting as it will cause a delay in processing my case and yet I THOUGHT I can submit at a later date. cant i submit later since I am. 2020af000193**
3: social media section. do I necessarily have to even talk about my deleted account?
4: What is the possoble time for I getting the 2NL?
5: does the relationship with the sponsor matter to the CO? can it contribute to disqualification?
June 15, 2019 at 16:07
1. No
2. Yes you can delay
3. Yes
4. Late this year, or early next year probably.
5. Yes.

Hi Brit, I have a doubt and I hope you can help me.
I won the Diversity Lottery this year, when I applied I filled out my application as divorced and with my child, but now I filled out and submitted only my DS-260 because my daughter has a pending visa through his father to travel to United States…is that a problem for me?
Thanks

No.
June 21, 2019 at 18:24

Dear Brit,

Thanks

3. Too soon to know – but at least a year from now (if ever)

Hi Brit
1- I Was born in Saudi Arabia in 1979 but I am originally from Yemen.I lost my Saudi birth of certificate and only have a copy of it. Now i issued Yemeni birth of certificate that is certified and stamp from the ministry of foreign affairs. My question is, will the consular require the original Saudi birth of certificate or the Yemeni one will be enough?
2- One more thing,
My elder brother is a US citizen, would that be a good support for my case or give me some preference even if there is a travel ban?
July 6, 2019 at 11:45
1. The SA one would be best.
2. It won’t help – but you keep saying you are Yemeni – and that brings up the travel ban.
You also have a very high case number as you have told me in the past, which means you may never get an interview or if you do you will have not time to get a waiver for the ban or pass background checks. I hope you realize (as I have told you before) how much at risk your case is.
