And it is excellent news – ALL REGIONS CURRENT (Only Nepal limited to 7100).
CURRENT for a region means they expect to have sufficient visas for all remaining demand, so all cases can be scheduled. Happy Days!!!!
OK – Now I will be asked about when the 2NLs will go out. Typically they go out 2 to 3 weeks after the VB. So – please don’t ask me about that!!
There are quite a number of cases that did not get scheduled for July interviews that should have been. That is unusual – and I would expect those cases to be scheduled for August. I also expect some of the busier embassies will have too many interviews for August, so some people might be delayed into September. We will have to wait and see if that happens.
By the way, the July VB also included the selectee numbers for DV2017 which is even lower than DV2016 (just under 84000 selectees). So – DV2017 can look forward to being current by the end.
June 10, 2016 at 16:27
Enter your comment here…In nepal it is the last visa bulletin
June 10, 2016 at 23:13
What is 7100 means. What about 2017
June 10, 2016 at 16:31
Hello Simon,
When a visa interview is being aallocated do they use the CN or the date of submission of the DS 260 forms? Or is it done haphazardly? Just guessing if my interview will be in August.
Many regards.
June 10, 2016 at 16:33
It isn’t a strict order that we know of. They know how many people need scheduling for each embassy, which, for most embassies will be less than 50 in any given month. I can’t tell exactly how they choose the order within that group….
June 10, 2016 at 17:26
I read something that says current meaning there is none more visas available is is true they said 2016 August
June 10, 2016 at 18:05
it means there is enough visa for the remaining demand
June 10, 2016 at 18:45
That is untrue. The meaning of current is explained above!
June 10, 2016 at 18:39
so there I no more visas for the remaining cases?
June 10, 2016 at 18:46
That is INCORRECT!
June 10, 2016 at 20:06
they said 2016 should try again 2018 BCUS THERE IS NO MORE VISA THAT WAY THEY SAID CURRENT
June 10, 2016 at 20:12
no that’s not true, and where did you read that from? can you share the website with us ? thanks
June 10, 2016 at 20:32
Would you please stop repeating this nonsense over and over again!
The meaning of current is explained in the article above.
June 10, 2016 at 20:32
Hello brit i have not recieved the visa bulletin for this month and my case number if Af49xxx i don’t know if my case number will be current for august. thanks and waiting
June 10, 2016 at 20:55
Ummmm – scroll to the top of the page. Read.
June 10, 2016 at 21:35
What i saw is all regions are current but for nepal. so plz does it mean i might be scheduled for an interview in august?
June 10, 2016 at 22:10
Yes.
June 10, 2016 at 21:39
I m serious just go to Google n enter August visa bulletin I Wil know what I m talking about
June 10, 2016 at 22:14
No one has to go to google – I wrote what it means above and I have asked you to read that. HERE is what I said.
“CURRENT for a region means they expect to have sufficient visas for all remaining demand, so all cases can be scheduled.”
Isn’t that clear enough for you?
But feel free to believe whatever you want to believe…
June 11, 2016 at 10:18
This also means that not every interviewed person (or family) will have the visa, as they just “expect” to have sufficient visa for all remaining demand as you said, right?
June 11, 2016 at 14:21
They “expect” based on the eDV and DS260s that list all family members – so they have a pretty good idea of numbers.
June 11, 2016 at 15:22
Does it also mean that for all the AP’s (under administrative processings) if they clear, there are sufficient visas available?
June 11, 2016 at 15:51
Once a case is on AP the allocated visa is reallocated so there is a risk that visas will run out but KCC seem confident that won’t happen. However the risk is there.
June 10, 2016 at 22:16
Hi sir. With this vb out, can someone ask kcc to unlock the Ds260 form. Before the 2nl,Will they unlock it.
June 11, 2016 at 00:12
Maybe – but that gets less likely by the day.
June 11, 2016 at 04:12
ok i m sorry I want to the caffe that what they told me I was so down hearted that why
June 11, 2016 at 08:04
So means august,bulletin will concern only Naples…..or what?????
June 11, 2016 at 14:24
Nepal!
Again – ALL REGIONS ARE CURRENT – It means all cases can be interviewed!!!
June 11, 2016 at 10:33
What will the next visa bulletin carry..or is there final cutoff,number….
June 11, 2016 at 14:19
All regions are already current. If you mean Nepal – I don’t know.
June 11, 2016 at 15:42
Hi Brit
So what about Administrative processing?
Are they not going to give us visas?
Are they going to leave us and start calling those who were selected for the 2017 DV program?
Please better explain for me.
June 11, 2016 at 15:49
If AP finishes before the end of September, you can have a visa. Dv2017 does not start until October 1.
June 11, 2016 at 17:11
Hi Brit,
This time around you don’t want to give us the case number for the month of July for August interview?
Do you mean every remaining cases from 42 xxx to 80 xx x will get their interview done before September?
The reason for this question is because my brother case is in 54 xxx.
I just want to know his chance.
Thanks
June 11, 2016 at 18:41
Hi brit
I wish to ask if we should start expecting the 2nl for August interview within this month? thanks
June 12, 2016 at 00:49
This is explained in the article above. EVERY REMAINING CASE IS CURRENT – meaning can be interviewed and will be scheduled.
June 14, 2016 at 08:19
You guys are giving @britsimon headache. He has clearly explained in simple english that all the remaining cases will be scheduled for an interview before the end of fiscal year 2016. What else do you want him to say? I think you have clearly understood that it is from 43xxx to thr last CN. pls calm down and start preparing your documents. It is not a dream,it is the truth! All the remaining cases will have their interview. Good luck to all.
June 11, 2016 at 18:35
G evening Mr Simon do we still have hope for 2016 ?
June 11, 2016 at 20:34
I don’t know why you can’t understand what I have told you several times or what I have written above.
Y E S – Y O U – A R E – F I N E.
STOP WORRYING AND WRITING IDIOTIC THINGS PEOPLE HAVE TOLD YOU.
June 11, 2016 at 20:26
Hi Brit,
Are there plenty of visas left for those who go to the interview very late in September or those who get clear at the end of September? Do they need to worry?
June 12, 2016 at 03:30
Dear Brit,
Can we submit Two 134 applications for the safe side?
June 12, 2016 at 04:56
1 is enough.
June 12, 2016 at 10:59
dear simon
its me again.
I dint get things quite right.
1. in the bulletin every nation except Nepal has gone current in August. will Nepal go current in September?
2. in 2016 no of selectee from Nepal were 3800 and this year it is 4000. now this year no of selectee (overall) is decreased by 10000. how does this affect Nepal?
my case number is 2017AS70**.
June 12, 2016 at 13:57
1. Possibly not. We will have to wait and see. The issue is that Nepal gets very close to the country limit that is imposed on any single country. No other country gets so close, and in some years (last year and perhaps DV2016) the last few cases don’t get current.
2. It means there is more risk for the highest case numbers from Nepal in DV2017. We don’t know the highest case number yet – so we can’t be certain where the limit will fall.
June 12, 2016 at 18:45
Hi Brit,
1.Can one adapt a relative’s children for dv program?
2.Is there a limit to the number of children that can be adapted?
June 12, 2016 at 19:01
The adoption would have to have happened 2 years ago.
June 12, 2016 at 21:09
Hello Simon .. thank u for ur effort in this great forum .. my CN 2016 AS 117** ..
when will i recieve 2NL ?
When will i be interviwed most likely?
Thank u again
June 13, 2016 at 01:57
https://britsimonsays.com/dv2017-basic-questions/
June 13, 2016 at 09:41
Hello Simon,
How many times could I delay my interview and until when exactly? Knowing that I am current only this month.
Thanks
June 13, 2016 at 14:04
It’s a bad idea to delay it even one time.
June 13, 2016 at 14:53
simon., ALL REGIONS CURRENT (Only Nepal limited to 7100). What does that Nepal limited to 7100 means???
June 13, 2016 at 15:17
It means that only Nepal cases UNDER 7100 could be interviewed up to August. September may increase that number – we don’t know. In actual fact there are very few Nepal cases over 7100.
June 13, 2016 at 16:35
hi Mr Simon when will the second letters come out for 2016 we really worry
June 13, 2016 at 17:26
What does it say in the article above?
June 13, 2016 at 20:53
dear mr.simon
thanx for all your efforts
today was my interview in khartoum,sudan
your help was great to me,i don’t know how to thank you
though
all my papers was complete i paid the fees and then met the conuslar
he only ask me two question
1-what do you do? answer student
2-have u ever worked before? answer no
then he told me to go to window three
they put me on admistration process (ap) and they told me to wait and they are going to call me
took secondary degree and forms i134+1040 and my passport
a)is there something wrong?
b)for how long does it take?
c)if it took too long could i lose my visa due to time? some says it may took 2-4 months?
help please and again thanx for everything
June 13, 2016 at 21:33
The waiting period of AP varies by case. It is impossible to guess how long yours will take – but you will need patience.
June 13, 2016 at 23:45
Hi
While filling my ds 260
Vaccination section [ do you have istablished document to prove that you received vaccination according vto us law ]
1 Shall i answer yes because I received all the vaccination but in algerian hospital ?
2 Or I ansewr no
Explain ; never been in usa before.
than I make this vaccination again in the clinic chosen by the us embassy in algeria and take the embassy
3 if The ansewr is no and I already submited my ds260 with yes will you advise me to unlock it to correct or expkain to the consular officer in the interview ?
Thanks
June 14, 2016 at 00:05
1. The best answer is no. Explain (you will have whatever vaccinations are needed during the medical).
If you answered yes, it won’t really matter.
June 14, 2016 at 05:17
Hi sir, my friend got married to his wife in December 2014. She played the dv lottery on October that same year. When she was selected on May 2015, she wrote kcc telling them that she want to add her husband on the case. And kcc agreed. So I really want to know if they fail the interview. Will the embassy or kcc still keep records of the husband.
June 14, 2016 at 05:24
I presume she has completed the DS260 as a married person and completed a DS260 for the husband. In that case they should be fine.
June 14, 2016 at 05:29
Sir, actually my bf interview is scheduled for july 13. And we get married recently.
Will it be possible to include my name as his spouse for interview or not ?
In fact, someone tells that the case is now handle by Embassy so we have to inform embassy instead of KCC.
Is it true sir?
In addition, we email embassy to inform that we are together but they didnot response at all .
What might be the matter?
Don’t we have any chance to be interviewed together?
Its been 8 days of email send.
Sir please help what i have to do?
June 14, 2016 at 13:45
Yes you now have to deal with the embassy – you should have married earlier. The embassy may contact you prior to the interview – or they may not. So – all you can do is follow their instruction and accept the delay which will probably now occur.
June 16, 2016 at 08:20
Dear Brit,
2017 selectee here. From my calculation, I might get married 2 months before my case gets scheduled as per the case scheduling time shown in your posts. I have already submitted my DS260 so in that case I will have to unlock and add a spouse. Will it delay my interview if I get married and unlock the form and resubmit it? Or lets say in short, is it okay to unlock 2 months before you case might schedule ?
June 16, 2016 at 22:52
The interviews are scheduled 6 or 7 weeks or so before the interview date. So – don’t leave it that late. It might cause a delay – but a delay is no problem.
June 14, 2016 at 11:25
Greetings sir…..my case number is 2016 AF539** now that its current. Should i start preparation of neccesery documents like police clearance and other once or have to wait still for the second later
June 14, 2016 at 13:31
You can start now.
June 14, 2016 at 12:26
Dear sir
According to last year dv for iranian cases , in this month , administration process of those who had interview on april were finished and they had their visas but something odd happening this year , this is totally unusual that embassys are still on January cases , what’s your opinion about it? I myself had interview over 3 months but nothing happens, I’ve send email to abd embassy but they don’t even reply ?
June 14, 2016 at 13:23
No it’s not totally unusual. There are always some cases that take longer than others.
June 14, 2016 at 14:39
Thanks for your reply but this is not just about me , it’s about all iranian dv winners after 2016 started no one from my country didn’t cleared , I hope something good happen
June 14, 2016 at 14:50
It is not true that “no one” cleared.
June 14, 2016 at 14:36
Hello Brits I went to certify my birth certificate today at the registers office but the registers mistakenly stamp the certify true copy rather than the photo copy so after some argument we replaced it with another extract true certified copy with today’s issue date, if i took the recent one will that affect my interview as the first one was issued in April and the one that they have certified is been issued today by the foreign office if i present the recent issue date will that affect my interview.
June 14, 2016 at 14:52
April or today – no real difference…
June 14, 2016 at 15:51
ok but new issue dat on certified true copy birth certificate will that cause any problem during my interview
June 14, 2016 at 18:09
I can’t be 100% certain, but as I already said – I don’t think so.
June 14, 2016 at 23:01
dear sir,
am on adm.process
could i lose my chance of getting visa just if it took too much time?
i saw that the program closed on 30 sep.2016 any case didn’t get visa by that time will be rejected?
June 15, 2016 at 01:00
Correct.
June 15, 2016 at 01:59
i found some one who sponsor me but he send me i-134 and 1099 (not 1040 or w2 ) and he said he didn’t have the 1040 he just can send me 1099 is it okey or not plz simon answer me
June 15, 2016 at 03:45

June 15, 2016 at 05:51
I did already!!!!
June 15, 2016 at 08:47
Now I know why people are giving so much headache to Simon with regards to word “current”. I found this and it’s so not true! :
“Current means that there will be no visas available as they had exhausted”
http://www.dvlotteryhelp.com/current-case-numbers-for-the-DV-2016-Winners.php
June 15, 2016 at 13:49
Yes, I am aware that there are some idiots can’t understand how the DV lottery works, but pretend they do and even setup website with their little or no information. It’s frustrating…
June 15, 2016 at 14:36
Hi, Mr Brit. Last Thursday I had a successful interview. Now, my case is under administrative processing. Is that bad news?
Thanks so much
June 15, 2016 at 15:20
No. Normally people see AP for a day or two after they were approved at the interview.
June 15, 2016 at 16:27
Thank you. Always kind of you. I’ll be waiting patiently! May God protect America. A beautiful country. My brother has been living there for more than a quarter of a century. He loves it
June 15, 2016 at 16:45
Hello Brit! Sorry for the question but I’m a bit worried. I’ve just discover a little bit of surname misplacement on our marriage certificate. All of my docs are for example: Smith Jr. But on the marriage certificate, it is written: Jr- Smith.will this not be a problem? Should I get a new one or it’s ok?
June 15, 2016 at 20:47
It should be OK
June 15, 2016 at 17:58
Hello Simon,
Is it ok if the name of the US resident that I’ve put on the DS-260 is different than the one that will send me the Affidavit ? The first one told me that he already sent two I-134 this year.
June 15, 2016 at 20:48
That’s OK.
June 15, 2016 at 17:58
Hi Brit
I have been on AP since the 28 April 2016 when my husband and i marriage certificate was taken by the CO and our passports were given back to us and he said they would contact us. In a research on travel.state.gov website about AP I saw a note that inquiry on AP status can only be made from 60 days of the visa interview. Is it really advisable? If so how?
June 15, 2016 at 20:50
Ignore the note on the website. You can inquire fromk the embassy anytime – they just won’t tell you anything.
June 15, 2016 at 20:36
dee AFTER ALL THIS EXPLENATION FROM ALL THE PEOPLE AND SIMON AND YOU STILL ASKING SAME QUESTION? MY FRIEND GO AND LEARN ENGLISH THEN CAME BACK.OR IF YOU ARE PLAYING AROUND PLEASE STOP AND LETS HAVE SPACE FOR GOOD QUESTIONS.
June 15, 2016 at 20:56
I deleted the silly question – I’m tired of the same thing over and over again…
June 15, 2016 at 21:36
so my sponsor can send me the forms now my case is current 53xxx or we must wait until i get the 2L
June 16, 2016 at 01:02
Now would be OK
June 16, 2016 at 02:13

June 16, 2016 at 03:13
You have months to wait and during that time you can read about the process on my website which answers your questions!
June 16, 2016 at 05:45
Hi Brit.Thanks for the support offered here.I am a DV2017 selectee residing in Kenya. i understand that the process for DV2017 will begin in the month of October 1.
Kindly requesting to know when the process begins in October 1,how long does it take for me to be invited for an interview at the embassy?

June 16, 2016 at 05:54
what do you meant that some idiots can’t understand how the dv works?Mr Brit there is no visa for the remaining cases right plz tel us the true plz bcus u said it frustrating.
June 16, 2016 at 06:03
2016 dv do we still have hope ? or there no visas for the remaning cases said by Simon wrong in the comments
June 16, 2016 at 06:34
Dee, you have to calm down and listen to what Mr Brit is explaining. When a region is current, everyone selected in that region will get an interview but that isn’t an assurrance of the visa, so instead of asking more questions just relax and continue to pray for your second letter and prepare along side for your interview. Thank you.
June 16, 2016 at 18:44
Mr Dee you have asked the same question billion time and you got the right answer so If you want to hear that there is no visas so than there is no visa .
You’re pushing Mr simon to close this site he hates himself with your question .give yourself peace and wait if you receive your 2 letter is good if not continue your life oxygen is available every where not only in usa.
June 16, 2016 at 10:26
What is wrong with this mr Dee??????? Explanations upon explanation you still come back with same question
June 16, 2016 at 12:16
Dear Brit my interview was on 6 June and our visas are approved. Thanks a lot for your valuable help.
June 17, 2016 at 00:18
greeting mr.brit
is it normal to took my police clearance and high school certificate +passport
in the interview? on ap >_<
what does that tell us?
June 17, 2016 at 02:09
Yes it’s normal.
