*** Update ***
July 1, 2018
We now have the full list of 2NLs sent for August interviews. Whilst they have scheduled more cases than we have been seeing in DV2018, there is still an obvious problem.
There are 2187 interviews scheduled in AF region. The number ranges and counts of those are as follows
0 to 28300 – 613 cases (Cairo and several other embassies – presumably late submissions)
28300 to 38000 – 1345 Cases (much less than the 2300 cases I calculated would ant an interview). These cases were all current in July, and have August interviews.
38300 and above – 229 Cases (Again – much less than the 3000 cases that would want interviews).
So it is clear to me that there must be *at least* 4000 cases remaining at this point that expect interviews. KCC will not be able to schedule all those cases – so if that is correct, we will see only about half of those remaining cases that want an interview will get one. The other cases will miss out, despite being current. I have no way to predict which cases will be lucky, although by looking at what has happened for August interviews, they seem to be giving preference to cases that were current in July.
I do recommend that people waiting for interviews in AF region email KCC to let them know you are waiting. I would not normally recommend that – but with whatever capacity is available it would be better if KCC don’t “waste” appointment slots on cases that will be no shows. So – KCC might appreciate knowing who will make use of their interview chance.
I am being asked questions about why some people are current but haven’t received 2NLs, and I can’t answer them honestly without giving more info. I am concerned about how the year will finish for AF region. This is ONLY about AF region, and only affects some embassies.
So – here is the concern. Since April I have been getting messages from people (in AF region) that were current but didn’t get scheduled by the end of the scheduling month. By that I mean that June interviews should all have been scheduled by the end of April. Those interviews were not scheduled, and in some cases still have not been scheduled. The same thing happened in May for July interviews. I believe this backlog of unscheduled cases is mainly at a few embassies – and the evidence suggests a problem with scheduling at those particular embassies. It is not specific to the cases, it’s the embassy. So for instance there were many Cameroonians delayed – but if the Cameroonian was being interviewed at another embassy (say Paris for example), then there was no delay. The embassies I noticed as being delayed were Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Morocco and Liberia – but there could be others similarly affected.
A look at the CEAC data from Xarthisius confirms the concern. It is obvious that there were not enough scheduled interviews.
Then the VB had the big increase for July interviews (from 28300 to 38000) and then August saw the region made current. Those two jumps made THOUSANDS of cases eligible for interview. If we take the real case count from 28300 to 38000 we see 4600+ cases. So – probably at least half of those (conservatively) will want interviews. So – that is 2300 cases. From 38000 to the highest AF number we have 6100+ cases – so again let’s assume half of those will want interviews – another 3000 cases. So we have at least 5300 – and probably another 1000 or so that should have been June interviews. However, through the CEAC data we can see they scheduled 1181 cases for July interviews, and so far only 1079 for August. I’m pretty sure some more 2NLs will go out in the next few days for August interviews, BUT my concern is that there are too many being left over for September. I think we have AT LEAST 4000 (probably more) left to schedule – and it is very unlikely that can be done within the timeframe.
So – how do they decide who gets scheduled and who doesn’t, if that what it comes down to. It looks like a bit of random decision. Once a batch of numbers are all current, the order in which they are scheduled is NOT based on case number. I also don’t think it is based on DS260 submission date. In reality, we don’t know how they prioritize cases to be scheduled. Cases at some embassies will have no problem at all. Cases at other embassies have a nervous wait.
No DV2018 cases can be interviewed after September 30.
2NLs for August interviews will be sent this month, and then the September 2NLs will be sent throughout July.
If you ask KCC now, they will respond that your forms are “processing”. In a normal year/month, that would mean the DS260 is not fully processed, but this year things seem different. There are several standard replies and their meaning is normally pretty clear as shown on this link. BUT, they don’t have a standard reply for the current situation where the forms are processed, but delays are stopping the scheduling.
The other impact about this last minute rush of cases is that it will affect clearing AP cases. If a case has been on AP for over a month (has passed from one month to another), once the case is cleared the embassy have to request a visa allocation. That is much harder to do when so many cases are being scheduled. The scheduled cases have visas reserved for them, so we won’t have much time to get reallocations to clearing AP cases.
I hope I am wrong about this – but my gut tells me this is going to end sadly for a lot of cases.
Questions I am being asked.
*** Note: Questions I am being asked. ***
Q:Is there anything you can do?
No, nothing. Until scheduled, the embassy don’t know anything about your case. If you contact KCC they will tell you the forms are processing status (although you are welcome to ask). There is no one else to help. All you can do is wait and hope.
Q: Is XXXX embassy affected?
I can’t tell with certainty which embassies are affected, but if you look on the data page that Xarthisius has provided there is a per embassy lookup there. Look for your embassy and see how many cases were being scheduled under 28000, and then how many are scheduled over 28000. Some reduction is logical (lower density), but there are a number of embassies with very small number of cases scheduled. You should know that the data doesn’t include a batch of 2NLs that went a few days ago – but the point can be seen quite easily.

Hi simon and everyone
I just got my 2nl,after waiting for two months, im from Morocco my number case is 31xxx
Hope everyone can get it too
good luck guys
June 28, 2018 at 17:31
Brit. I am in full agreement with your analysis concerning The clearing of AP for AF. A Friend of my had his interview on Feb 15 and was put on Ap and was told to bring a police clearance for his 16 years old son. Till now the case is still on Ap even though he has written the embassy and kcc many times requesting appointment to submit said document. With the huge backlog of cases waiting to be interview, I am beginning to think the embassy will not time to deal with their case so sad. Liberia embassy and his case number is 2018Af 53xx
June 28, 2018 at 21:44
So frustrating that he went to the interview without the police cert. That was a mistake by not reading the instructions, and it sounds like that caused the AP.
June 28, 2018 at 22:09
I m from Liberia and my case number is 2018AF296xx, I receive my 2nd letter of June 27, SO thanks God for me and good luck for everyone of us. The BRITSIMON says that wait and see.
So yesterday I wait
And Today now I See
BIG UP TO YOU MASTER BRITSIMON
June 29, 2018 at 00:34
Anyone above AF45000 who has received 2NL?Thank you all and good luck
June 29, 2018 at 02:01
Yes.
June 29, 2018 at 08:05
Hey brit, I sent you an email with what I think would be an awesome idea to improve the CEAC scraping tool (but wouldn’t like to give the details in the blog), could you please read it when you have the time? Thanks and see you my friend.
June 29, 2018 at 10:43
Hi Brit,
Thanks for the help you giving millions of people in your blog. I was alittle bit frustrated until i found your blog on march this year. It has been of great of help to me. This morning I got my 2Nl however no email!! So lets people keep on checking their ESC site. Am scheduled for 28Aug Nairobi Kenya cn AF 31###.
Once again brit,Thanks a Million times?? and God bless you abundantly.
June 29, 2018 at 14:25
Well done for checking the ESC site direct. Sometimes the email is marked as spam and filtered out.
June 29, 2018 at 11:36
Thank you very much mr brits for your great help for dv winners,
My question is there any hope for 2nd batch for august interview?my case number 2018af376xx ,from sudan till now ididn’t receive my 2nl for interview.
June 29, 2018 at 14:38
Hello Every body,
is there any one with 40k CN getting their 2NL in Liberia?
June 29, 2018 at 20:49
Hello Brit,
Thanks for your ur highly interacting blog and to date information on DV 2018. Today I didn’t see any new interview scheduled post or comment . since we are approaching the end of the month as well weekend. What do u expect on the 2NL for August.
June 29, 2018 at 21:01
Wait and see.
June 30, 2018 at 01:37
Hi Simon
I read your post about the different types of replies that one could receive from KCC.
But when I contacted them through email, they replied that the case is waiting for further review by the embassy… But when I called them they said that the case is under process… So why their response is different and which one one should rely on?
Thanks
June 30, 2018 at 02:41
Doesn’t matter what you rely on – patience is important either way.
June 30, 2018 at 05:38
Is possible to send 2nd letters for august in july?
June 30, 2018 at 05:59
Probably not
June 30, 2018 at 08:20
Hello Britis ,
Do u mean August 2NL is over .
June 30, 2018 at 15:11
Probably.
June 30, 2018 at 11:15
hi Brit..tell us something for EU 🙂
June 30, 2018 at 15:05
In less than 2 weeks we will know for sure.
June 30, 2018 at 14:57
Dear Simon, one of my friend just got to know that he got the lottery win for 2018,his case number us around 8800 and just today he submitted the visa application,as i know he has only 3 months,is there any chance that he will succeed and can he call kcc and expedite the process?
June 30, 2018 at 14:59
It is very late, but in previous years some cases like that have made it. What region?
June 30, 2018 at 17:29
Asia
June 30, 2018 at 17:42
OK – well if your birthplace or countries you have lived in are co-operative, there is a chance you get scheduled. Wait and see.
July 10, 2018 at 12:00
Is there any way to expedite the visa application reviewing process by kcc ? Normally how long will it take them to review? Can he email kcc and asked them to expedite
July 10, 2018 at 12:39
No
June 30, 2018 at 19:34
Hi Brit
Please I need to inquire about something.my husband is a dv 2018 winner and has been scheduled for July 2018.I and our daughter are included in his case.I too am a dv 2018 winner and current for July interview but with the delay in the previous months I was hoping receive a 2nl for august interview.
1 will I still receive 2nl to be interviewed considering the fact that I will attend the with my husband and daughter?
2will it be possible for me to be considered too as the principal applicant?
3 will I still undergo medical examination for my own case since I did medicals already?
4 could it be the reason why I haven’t received my own 2nl since I will be interviewed alongside my husband?
Thanks for your concern.hoping to hear from you
Case number:2018AF37xxx
July 1, 2018 at 01:36
1. Yes
2. Why on earth would you want to do that?
3. Yes
4. Lots of people are waiting for their 2NLs.
June 30, 2018 at 20:48
Hi, mr. Brit. Please, answer:
At the latest in what month should ds260 be submitted for inviting an interview in September? EU region case 16***, DV2018. Thanks!
July 1, 2018 at 01:41
Any submission from a week or two ago is a risk.
July 2, 2018 at 13:39
Hi Mr Brit:
Thanks for valuable information you keep providing us. From some of your replies on comments, I understand that PROBABLY NO 2NLs WILL BE SENT FOR AUGUST. Knowing that AF region went current, does this mean that no new CNs will be scheduled beyond August.
PS: I’m from Morocco, my CN is 2018AF42xxx.
Thanks.
July 2, 2018 at 13:57
I assume the next 2NLs will be for September.
July 2, 2018 at 14:06
Thank you Sir for the quick reply. However It’s strange when I see CNs higher than mine already been scheduled but not mine :(.
July 5, 2018 at 21:19
How do we differentiate the first and second batch?it written on CEAC page that since April 2nls will be send in two batches and that if you know you are current and don’t received your 2nl you, you shouldn’t panic. Like now I don’t know when was first batch received for august interview and when was the second batch received for august interview?
July 5, 2018 at 21:30
The first batch of 2NLs are sent around the 15th of the month. By the end of the month the second batch have been sent.
July 6, 2018 at 00:36
It’s not CEAC page, it’s my **unofficial** page. When a set of 2NLs for a given month is incomplete, it’s usually indicated by “(1st batch)” annotation. If there’s no annotation assume it’s a complete list.
July 2, 2018 at 14:52
Hi Simon,
Did it happen before in the last years that people submitted their DS 260, and their case number included in the bulletin but never scheduled for an interview?
Thanks
July 2, 2018 at 15:00
Maybe occasionally, but not in the volume we are seeing this year.
July 2, 2018 at 18:39
hello please i am current for the embassy of sierra leone my cn is 43XXX. I ask the students of León to situate themselves

Am so worried my case number is AF362xx (tunisia) and still no 2nls received!what is the problem? I can see that are many numbers before and after mine are scheduled but me !! I am supposed to have interview on july and now all the 2nls for august are sent! Can someone explain what happens!this is so unfair!should i call kcc?
July 2, 2018 at 20:58
You can call KCC if you want.
July 2, 2018 at 23:09
Hi Brit, I am a Liberian and my case was current for July interview, but haven’t received 2NLS for both July and August but looking at the cases schedule for August I see cases lower and higher than my case some are even in range with my case because I am AF370xxx, people in this same AF370XXX are ready for August. I want you to please help me if there’s anything that need to be done.
July 2, 2018 at 23:16
Re-read the article above.
July 2, 2018 at 23:16
Visa status at nvc what means that ?
July 2, 2018 at 23:22
That is the starting status for every case. Ignore it.
July 2, 2018 at 23:17
Hi,if they inform me that my case is pending embassy processing ,is this fine so no need to call them again to check my interview date delay?Thank you sir.
July 2, 2018 at 23:21
It’s up to you.
July 2, 2018 at 23:39
Your forms have been received and pending further embassy review for the continuation of your visa processing ? Sounds good ? No ?
July 3, 2018 at 00:35
It’s OK.
July 2, 2018 at 23:48
my case is pending embassy processing is this a good sign that i will be scheduled for the interview ?how long you predict it takes to be scheduled once i am informed that my case reached the embassy?
Thank you .
July 3, 2018 at 00:37
Please read above. Lots of people are waiting – just like you.
July 3, 2018 at 00:41
Thanks,but this aimed only for selected whose cases have not yet processed not the ones pending embassy processing whose cases have been processed by KCC.could you please clarify this ?Thanks
July 3, 2018 at 03:54
No – they are all in the same boat as you.
July 3, 2018 at 13:09
Hello Brit when I check my Status I get this. Pls can u help me out clearify me on what it means thanks. Af52****.
Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) that list the six steps you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything is missing or incomplete. You can also find these instructions online at http://nvc.state.gov (English) and http://nvc.state.gov/espanol (Spanish). You will find contact information for NVC at http://nvc.state.gov/ask.
-is it that they sent me a mail already ?
July 3, 2018 at 14:26
Ignore those instructions – it simply means you are waiting to be scheduled.
July 3, 2018 at 15:05
Hey Brit, should we send KCC an email letting them know that we are actually waiting them, or this would be totally waste of time for them ? EU
July 3, 2018 at 16:16
For EU – a waste of time.
July 3, 2018 at 16:03
“they seem to be giving preference to cases that were current in July.”
Do you mean 38k and above?
Also I sent an email to KCC on 21th of june .. got a reply (Your forms have been received and pending further embassy review for the continuation of your visa processing.) do you think I should send them another one today? Or is it enough?
Cn:2018AF347xx
July 3, 2018 at 16:15
No – current in July means cases 38K and below.
You probably don’t need to send them another email.
July 3, 2018 at 17:43
Hi Brits. I just sent KCC an email as you advised. I was begging and pleading like never before. I wish to ask, are we sure the remaining 4k cases have submitted their Ds260? Because that could be a game changer. Also, My uncle works for the US embassy in Cameroon, I didn’t want to bother him but I guess I have no choice than to use that card now.
July 3, 2018 at 17:47
Your uncle cannot help. The interviews are not set by the embassies.
As for the remaining cases – well no – what I did was consider HALF of the remaining cases would want interviews (which is low based on previous data).
July 4, 2018 at 01:12
Would KCC know ahead if AF embassies handle with 4000 cases or not in September?
Also, under this circumstances does anyone think AF can reach its quota or even get close??? I think this region will issue only about 19000 or so visa and all the left visas will be redistribute to other regions. Sad but real… It happen in 2015.
July 4, 2018 at 01:21
Well yes – they will have an idea of capacity.
As for quota – the issuance pace for the last three months will be faster than we have seen – but even so – a shortfall seems likely.
July 6, 2018 at 22:32
Hello Brit I want just to ask this my case number is 2018AF 386XX will KCC not schedule cases above 38000 for September interview this provoked this second question what will be the cutoff for this year 2018? At the beginning you predicted 46000.
July 7, 2018 at 15:20
I don’t think you bothered to read the article above did you.
July 4, 2018 at 02:43
Hi BritSimon,
I did not win the DV, but I’m here to say:
Thank you for the amount of work you put into maintaining this site! And thank you for patiently answering all those questions, including quite a few redundant ones.
I think you’re awesome.
July 4, 2018 at 03:17
Thanks!
July 4, 2018 at 09:29
they are not giving the maximum for Af…..Do you think Brit If Eu goes current will do the same thing??
July 4, 2018 at 13:57
Who said anything about EU going current?
July 5, 2018 at 19:01
I said if
July 5, 2018 at 19:24
So it’s a pointless question. EU won’t go current.
July 6, 2018 at 10:04
we will see Brit.. thnx for your opinion…99% eu goes current ?
July 6, 2018 at 14:16
LOLOLOL
July 4, 2018 at 10:13
Hi Simon. Thank you for your time you spend to guide us. It is truly a laudable effort. I am from BENIN and from DV2018. I sent my DS260 since 02, June 2017 but so far I have not received my 2NL yet. I would like to know if there are people from BENIN who are in my case and have already received their 2NL for the interview to ensure of the time. I am very impatient. Thank you for answering me and God bless you !!! Emel
July 4, 2018 at 13:54
The article above is what I know.
July 4, 2018 at 22:03
Emel bonjour,
Je suis du Benin,envoie moi ton numero pour qu’on ce contacte.
July 5, 2018 at 20:49
Hello Cindy! I am so happy for you. Please, write me on : [email protected] and we could discuss. I am waiting for you. Thank you very much. Emel
July 4, 2018 at 11:51
HI MR BRIT IAM JUST WANT U TO EXPLAIN ME PLEASE WHAT THE CASE IS AT NVC MEANS THANKS
July 4, 2018 at 13:10
It simply means that your case is being processed at the NVC, and was not sent to your embassy yet. Tou can refer to this post [3rd question] for more info; https://britsimonsays.com/dv-faq/
July 4, 2018 at 13:37
Every case has “at NVC” as a starting status – prior to being scheduled.
July 5, 2018 at 17:14
THANKS YOU FOT YOUR TIME
July 4, 2018 at 13:17
Hi Guys,
For those who contacted the KCC, how much does it take to get a reply from them. I sent them an email yesterday but till now they haven’t replied yet.
Thanks.
July 4, 2018 at 13:36
It can take a few days.
July 4, 2018 at 19:05
Hi mr Britsmon, if I unlocked my ds260 now, to correct some mistakes, it can affect or delay my 2nd letter. Is there any chance to take my visa?
July 4, 2018 at 21:10
I cannot answer because you have given me no information.
July 5, 2018 at 12:56
Hi, I wonder why AF region went current if the winners won’t receive their 2NLS, and why Kcc didn’t just limit the visa bulletin for example 45000 for august and if they done with them, they will add more for September?
July 5, 2018 at 14:36
Read the article above.
July 5, 2018 at 16:32
2187 interview Scheduled for August for AF region. Do you know how many interview is scheduled for July – AF? (probably another 2000 right/) And I am -just- guessing another 2200 can be scheduled for September… But it already looks like AF can hit its quota with this much scheduled interview already.. derivates is high there!!! I don’t know why they made AF current anyways and created this much panic and sadness..
July 5, 2018 at 18:12
July was 1181 interviews for AF region. The 2200 for August was a big increase.
July 5, 2018 at 20:07
Ohhh I see. Do these numbers include family members or should we add derivate on to this? 1181 is not that many… When we consider no shows and refuses AF most likely can not hit 21500 quota but What can be the average visa number AF can hit at the end of August?
This is such a weird year. But with all the making AF and AS current, well especially AF, KCC is still trying to give as many visas as they can I believe…
July 5, 2018 at 20:25
The 2NL count (like 1181 and 2200) is of cases, not people.
As for final issued numbers – wait and see.
July 5, 2018 at 18:05
I called KCC today and they said I should expect my 2nl starting from the 16th of this month. They also said although my number has gone current, they weren’t able to schedule due to embassy capacity. I asked if there was a guarantee my case would be scheduled for September interview but the lady said there’s no guarantee, she said everything depends on the embassy’s capacity. Case No Af000349**
July 5, 2018 at 18:08
Yup – that is one of the more accurate responses I have heard of from KCC. I think that is the closest to the truth.
July 6, 2018 at 05:29
Which embassy?
God bless all of us.
July 7, 2018 at 06:31
Benin
July 7, 2018 at 11:54
Cindy, you’re from which country?
July 7, 2018 at 16:24
Benin
July 5, 2018 at 18:13
I think so too. Patience then. My husband won DV2018, if this doesn’t work out, on to the next I guess. He also won DV 2019 😀
July 5, 2018 at 21:22
As dear Simon often said, Wait and See. Everything on which you rely happen. So Be positive. Email me on [email protected].
ONCE YOU CHOOSE HOPE, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

While the kcc says it depends on embassy capacity, Simon do you think that calling the embassy woud probably help considering more cases?thanks for your time my case is 362xx (tunisia embassy)
July 5, 2018 at 18:30
No.
July 5, 2018 at 21:32
Some people still went forward to write the embassy but the answer the embassy gave was instead the contrary.The embassy said they are still waiting for KCC to send the package to the embassy at this level who is waiting who?
July 5, 2018 at 22:18
The embassy doesn’t know anything until KCC sends them the case.
July 7, 2018 at 10:26
Then the issue of embassy capacity is not exactly the problem because most cases have not being given to the embassy’s – they most likely issue is the policy direction provided by the Trump administration in their quest to reduce AF immigration.

Nonsense.

Dear Simon, Tank you for all,
My case number is 2018AF00042xxx
I sent the DS260 on May 2017, I haven’t recieved the 2Nl yet, I sent email to kcc inquiring about my case and they replied
(Your forms have been received and pending further embassy review for the continuation of your visa processing)
Is that mean the processing of my case complete and wait for scheduling the interview , or my form haven’t processed yet?!
Thank you very much
July 7, 2018 at 16:57
Processed, waiting to be scheduled.

Hi Dear Simon, and thank u so Mach for your support.
My interview is scheduled for August in Casablanca/Morocco, I read that a lot of Moroccan dv2018 winners have received DS 5535 after their interview is that true? Who is concerned with that form ? islamic countries? It seems that they are in PA for more than 60 days witch means poeple Who are interviewed in August couldn’t get their visas.
Very thankful for your help.
July 8, 2018 at 14:18
Yes the DS5535 is being used – and it would not be a surprise that it is commonly used in Morocco. It’s a relatively new security measure. Because it is so new, I cannot predict how they will process cases toward the end of the year.

Hi aicha. You can write me at ikhenaton at Gmail. I from morrocco too. We could share what we know.

Hello Britsimon
I have worries a I know u can help me. Since AF region became current I’ve contacted kcc several times about my case and I always receive this same reply
Thank you for your inquiry.
Your forms have been received and are currently processing. Allow several weeks for processing. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing.
For August, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2018 applicants chargeable to all regions/eligible countries as follows. When an allocation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV regional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:
Brit my case number is Af51k and I submitted since may 2017 and the reply they give me is really frustrating and confusing.
1–do u think Cameroon embassy will schedule a case above 50k?
2- are they scheduling according to case number or randomly?
What can u truly say about my case should I give up or can I just hope Thanks so much as u reply
