2NLs are starting to be sent for November 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 these interviews are for November, so there is plenty of time.
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.
*** please for our willing scrapers – let’s continue scraping for DV2018 data – we are still needing to see the progress over the final few weeks to better understand who can get a visa and who might be left out***

Got my 2NL with an appointment date for Nairobi. Can I register the appointment online now? There was something about registering the appointment once you get the appointment letter, so that the passport can be returned to me.
Two, can I call IOM to schedule my medical appointment, or do I have to email? Do I have to give them my case number details and passport details when scheduling for an appointment? I need some guidance here.
September 30, 2018 at 14:44
1. Yes
2. Try.
September 29, 2018 at 11:24
hello simon,
i am a DV 2019 winner and my schedule for interview is on November. i have a fiance and we will have plan to get married around end of October does this status change can affect my process? or is that better making the mirage after the interview?
thanks
September 29, 2018 at 14:41
You should have got married much earlier – before you were scheduled. As it is, when you get married, contact the embassy to see what they tell you to do.
September 28, 2018 at 18:42
hi brit,
Can i marriage after interview?
September 28, 2018 at 19:07
Yes, but if you do that you may not be able to add the spouse to the DV case – so then you will spend around two years on the family sponsorship process.
September 29, 2018 at 07:06
okay. Thank you brit your rush answering.
When after two years do that the family sponsorship process can i add new born child with spouse?
September 29, 2018 at 14:35
You can start the process for a baby at any time.
September 28, 2018 at 11:16
Hello) thank you so much Brit for your blog, it’s really helpful. I’m just wondering, guys, with current numbers, how many of you haven’t received 2Nl for November interviews?
September 28, 2018 at 16:44
I haven’t yet… Waiting every day.
September 29, 2018 at 13:03
Mine arrived yesterday, September 28th.
September 28, 2018 at 01:19
is it a problem to mention in the DS-260 form that you have two nationalities? I did it because I am Burundian by origin and Rwandan by nationalities. Now, I am afraid that this can disqualify me.
September 28, 2018 at 03:41
No problem with two nationalities. Lying is a problem though – so make sure you tell the truth.
September 27, 2018 at 19:14
Somes told me that I have to go first at New york airport for register before going anywhere. that’s why I ask this question?
September 27, 2018 at 20:41
You can enter the USA at ANY port of entry.
September 27, 2018 at 17:32
Hello
Do I have to go down to New York before joining my sponsor ? or I can go directly to his city?
Thanks
September 27, 2018 at 18:21
Go anywhere.
September 27, 2018 at 06:52
I lived in US for about 2 years and come back. I was selected for Dv2019 for further processing, should I obtain police certificate for the period of my stay in US and submit it at the interview
thanks in advance
September 27, 2018 at 16:02
No police certs are needed for the USA.
September 29, 2018 at 05:28
Thanks Sir, one more question. i did 2 times oficial change of adress in us, yet dont remember the dates and second adress exactly, is it a problem if i only show the first place that i lived in us, and dates arriving and departuring dates put by us customers at the airport in my passport?
appreciate your support
September 29, 2018 at 14:33
That is OK
September 26, 2018 at 18:35
Hi Britsimon
I’m a green card holder and came to USA last year on May
but I have a girlfriend in Canada which I have been already been visiting her twice now
first trip was last month durations of 3 days the recent one was this month also duration of 3 days
means I will be going there most of time to see my girlfriend for first time i flew and second time i drove
1. I have been asked some questions what I’m going to do there and how long am I traveling there but I told them the truth to see my girlfriend. can this short multiple travels can cause a problem?
2.How many times can you advise to travel for a short trip like 3 days or one week per month?
3. it can happen that I told them I’m going for 3 days trip and anything can happen that I took one week. can this cause a problem on my re-entry ?
4. But now December I’m going again for one month. can this affect anything or when I’m about to file for my naturalization?
September 26, 2018 at 18:54
I only answer DV lottery questions.
September 26, 2018 at 16:11
Hello Brit,
I am from Algeria and I lived in Paris as foreign student so I need to get police clearance from both France and Algeria, is that right ? Thank you very much
September 26, 2018 at 16:12
Probably. You NEED to read the instructions!
September 25, 2018 at 19:28
Hi Brit
I’m a green card holder and came to USA last year July through the DV lottery
my friend also won the 2019 dv lottery

2. if yes the money that I made last year was about 9K. is it okay?
September 25, 2018 at 20:47
1. It would be better to have someone who has been there longer.
2. NO!
September 25, 2018 at 22:53
Ok Thanks
The person with who’s a US citizen or even green card holder
1. if green card how long approximately does the person have been here since has a green card
September 25, 2018 at 23:01

September 25, 2018 at 23:32
ok Thanks appreciate
September 25, 2018 at 19:26
Dear Simon,
In my wife’s police clearance certificate they r made little mistake in PLACE OF BIRTH instead of RUSSIA they printed SUDAN.. she already has birth certificate from Russia and in her passport place of birth is RUSSIA as well.
Should i correct the police clearance ? Or it doesn’t affect our case.
Btw she is the winner.
Thank you
September 25, 2018 at 20:46
Get a new police cert.
September 25, 2018 at 16:23

Hi brit
After GC paid online, How much time does it took to received receipt that confirm the account is debited in général?
September 24, 2018 at 12:43
Hi Brit.. Is this going to affect DV lottery/GC winners or is it something mainly relate to applicants who are expecting GC?

September 24, 2018 at 14:22
It’s just a proposal, but similar discussions have happened in the past. As a new immigrant you are not supposed to need public assistance. So – come with a plan not to use such things – because one day that could affect your chance of gaining citizenship.
September 24, 2018 at 14:34
Yeah.. got what you mean. Thanks Brit.
September 24, 2018 at 16:29
can affect dv 2018/2019???
September 24, 2018 at 17:03
Use some common sense.

September 19, 2018 at 12:15
Hi Britt,
I should be having an interview in November as my OCEANIA 1**. I’m currently living in Europe and I’m requesting the required police and education documents from my home country. Do you know if I need to have my high school qualification apostilled or authenticated?
September 19, 2018 at 14:47
Not normally unless the embassy instructions say to do that.
September 19, 2018 at 09:40
I think the email was sent to those who have CN near of start number.
September 19, 2018 at 14:40
To those that are current. That’s how it works.
