2NLs are starting to be sent for March interviews (DV2019).
Some people previously got 2NL emails but then had to wait days or even a couple of weeks before the interview letter showed on the ESC page. Other people waited until the beginning of the following month to get their 2NLs and ESC page update. So – be patient, stay calm. Some physicians won’t schedule the medicals unless you have the 2NL in hand, BUT there is plenty of time before these interviews, no need to stress out!
The email itself has no useful information. It simply tells you to check the ESC site for the interview details. Some people that receive the email will find the ESC site is not ready, those people should try again after a few hours. Also, some people find the email itself goes to a trash or spam folder or somehow miss it. So – if you think you may have been scheduled but missed your email, you can check the ESC site, just in case. The 1NL (you have been selected letter) is replaced by a new letter which gives the appointment details.

Hi Britsimon,
Finally we got visas(4). my question is that there is ONE asterix mark(star) in front of annotation on my visa, while TWO stars on my husband and 2 kids’s visas.
Do you happen to know what does it mean?
thanks in advance
February 23, 2019 at 14:28

February 13, 2019 at 11:53
Hi Brit. My CN is 66xx from AS and got the KCC mail for document submission on 3rd Jan. But for some reason I did not see it and saw the email only yesterday. As per historical records my CN is expected to get current around May. And it might take at least 2 weeks for me to collect/prepare documents for email submission from now on. Will this situation delay my 2NL and expected visa interview date? If so for how long? Thanks Brit.
February 13, 2019 at 14:21
Possibly. Wait and see.
February 9, 2019 at 12:20
Hi,
While i was filling DS 260 for my 2 years old son, there is a place for parents(especially mother), and there is asked Surnames at Birth. Does it mother’s surname when she was born(mother’s surname is usually changed when they are married) or mother’s surname when she gave a birth to the son?
thanks in advance
February 9, 2019 at 15:31
It is the name before she was married
February 8, 2019 at 06:16

February 8, 2019 at 14:31
It stays at NVC until you are scheduled. All normal. Be Patient.
February 7, 2019 at 09:56
Brit, dnt get snippy with people, the process is very nerve wrecking, you went through the same gamut of emotions during your time
February 7, 2019 at 14:11
I *obviously* know that and I am old enough to not have any use for life advice.
People get snippy answers when they are too lazy to read, or disrespectful of my time.
February 7, 2019 at 20:22
Case in point.

I’ve finally received the email saying that my docs are ok only after I called them and asked,lol. I also have been told to call them again on a mid of February.
But can I call and ask them about interview date without waiting for the mid of February?? Because it seem just sitting and waiting can result in dreadful delays..
February 2, 2019 at 20:44
Calling doesn’t speed them up, but you can call if you want.
January 31, 2019 at 21:08

Is there any chance to get our interview in march or april ?

January 30, 2019 at 11:08
Hi Brit i had email from KCC to submit my receipts of police certificate to them, should i go on and send them the scan copies of the police certificate as well.
January 31, 2019 at 02:02
Simply follow the instructions you were given. No more, no less.
January 30, 2019 at 06:19
Hello Brit,
My case number is AF152** from Kenya and its among the ones to be intervieweed on March. when i requested KCC whether my documents were valid because i never i received a confirmation mail on the same, this is the kind of feedback i received.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Records indicate you have submitted a complete and valid DS-260 application for each family member, and you have provided all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. Interviews for the DV 2019 program will begin in October 2018 and conclude on September 30, 2019. Please refer to the visa bulletin at http://www.travel.state.gov to locate the current numbers being processed. This bulletin is updated after the 15th day of each month. Once an interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check http://www.dvlottery.state.gov.
what can i do since i have not received 2NL? The case number according to visa bulleting is supposed to be in march interview.
January 31, 2019 at 01:53
So you will probably be interviewed in April. The Green Cards are the same in April as March.
February 5, 2019 at 08:10
Dolly Quambs, please send me your contact details on [email protected]. I’m also from Kenya. We could share some insights.
January 29, 2019 at 06:37

Received request for docs Nov 5

I was also very worried before about the delays etc., but the only thing everyone can do is stay calm and wait.
February 23, 2019 at 05:42
