welcome Are interviews dispatched based on when the ds were sent? And the reason for the slow ds processing, I sent the ds on June 1st and until an hour it was not processed.
December 24, 2021 at 19:30
DS260s take different times to be processed. You need to be patient.
January 9, 2022 at 21:36

Hello Bri.

Dr – 23 Aug
DQd – 20 Oct
Unlocked Ds 260 15 Dec. and submitted the same day to update educational qualification. Do I have to be dqed again or I should assume ds 260 have already been processed.
Thank you.
December 24, 2021 at 19:37
You probably won’t get any further DQ message.
January 1, 2022 at 16:59
Happy New year Brit
I’m A 2022AF31xxx, I submitted the form DS-260 since July 8 but haven’t received any update from KCC to submit documents. I’m a little bit worried, I keep checking my email but haven’t received mail from kcc.
January 3, 2022 at 03:10
You do NOT have to send documents anymore, they changed the procedure. Read my recent articles.
December 23, 2021 at 22:59
Hi Simon
OC000004xx
Just to let you know submitted DS260 8 Oct 21, submitted docs without request on 10 Nov. 2NL received today. Kind regards, Glenn
December 24, 2021 at 19:39
Cool! Which embassy?
December 23, 2021 at 23:45
DV2022 Winner; My wife is pregnant , What happens if my wife give birth after 1. I receive 2NL,2. after interview is scheduled or 3. After I have already been interviewed and issued, How do I get my new born into the process
December 24, 2021 at 19:41
The exact process depends on the timing – but in the first 2 scenarios you would arrange it with the embassy to add a DS260 for the child, update yours and so on. In the third scenario you can actually enter the USA without a visa for the child and the baby will be processed automatically at the POE.
December 24, 2021 at 19:50
Thanks Alot for your feedback Simon , In these cases do i need to get a passport for the new born before I enter the US ?
Thank Yoy
December 26, 2021 at 16:42
Yes. Birth cert and passport are required.

Hello M. Simon,
My case (2022AF2xxx) has been « ready »since last Monday but I still have not received the notification email for the appointment. Is this normal?
January 13, 2022 at 17:00
Email KCC and the embassy to ask for the appointment details.

Please, I have not yet receive my 2NL for January 2022 interview. Is it possible I may receive it for February or I should contact KCC?
December 24, 2021 at 19:42
You can if you want, or just be a little more patient.
December 25, 2021 at 09:46
Thank you.
December 24, 2021 at 09:23
Looks like KCC starts sending out 2NLs a few days after the VB release until the very first few days of the next month. One embassy at a time.

Dear Mr. Simon, Wishing you a Merry Christmas and peaceful New Year. Thanks for the help on this journey since I started following your blogs.
Mr. Simon, a question too once again. How many months earlier a selectee can know that his interview coming up on a certain month? Say, can I know that I can get the interview in September by June or July? ( I mean in case the number is within the regional limit?) Thank you.
December 24, 2021 at 19:47
Interviews for September are normally all sent in July.
December 25, 2021 at 12:45
Thank you for clearance. It is a relief to know that this anxiety be over by July rather than waiting till September. Appreciate your prompt reply Mr. Simon.Stay safe.

No DR
No DQ
No 2NL
Best Regards,

December 27, 2021 at 18:17
I can’t be certain. But if you NEED to change something, then do so.
December 27, 2021 at 20:38
Hi, Brit
How are you doing?
Do you have any info or data about the EU case numbers which already received 2NL?
The reason why I am asking is the visa bulletin is issued and the numbers show 13k for EU but in reality what is the highest numbers are got 2NL is interesting. This data may show some clear image what is happening right now. Don’t you think so? If you have any comments please share with us.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Bobur Murodov
December 27, 2021 at 21:27
No – we will only have that data on January 1 (CEAC data).
However, you should not conclude that every case up to 13k has been scheduled – nothing like that is true.
December 28, 2021 at 20:29
Dear Brit,
I am AS72xx DS260 submitted in18 June. I have some urgent period for 18 days in June 2022 in which I cannot leave for an interview I am worried about this so what do you recommend in case happened
December 28, 2021 at 21:06
It’s not even 2022 yet – why are you worrying about such trivia.
December 29, 2021 at 06:35
He Brit,
I am sponsoring my cousin, wife and son. He is a retired 60 year old from Turkey. He has a very low retiree income with less than 7,000 US dollars in the bank, owns a home. My income qualifies to support the three of them. Do they usually give them a hard time at the embassy interviews due to being retired with not a lot of cash in bank? We haven’t received any news from KCC. 260 form filed in July. With his number being current in February would that meAn he could receive an interview any day now? Only he and 16 year old will come to live with me permanently.
EU2022 10800.
Thanks,
Grateful Sponsor!
December 29, 2021 at 17:00
You should compete an I-134 for him. They might question “the plan” since he is retired, but with your I-134 that should not be a concern.
December 29, 2021 at 17:59
Thank you Mr Brit! You are so helpful and I have enjoyed educating myself with your videos and site!
January 5, 2022 at 12:52
Just an FYI for you to show they are looking at emails super fast. I sent an email on 1/4/22 1511 to KCC to inquire about whether they were still processing 2022EU00010xxx 260 form since we have never received any emails from them since June when we turned in our 260. They replied 1/5/22 0616 that they were currently processing and had received the 260. They said to allow several weeks for processing. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. Once they finish processing they will send me an email giving me instructions so the case can continue processing. Our case involves 1 applicant and two derivatives. Thank you BritSimon for everything! I never know when you are doing a live session until after. I have to figure out how to get notified do I can join live.
January 5, 2022 at 14:59
I am also looking for a way to join live sessions, but do not know how to. If somebody has any information please post how to join the live sessions. Thank you. Happy New Year to all of you.

Hey Britsimon,
My friend have a problem on his name, his name is Moses Reffer Cooper but when he was playing the Dv mistakenly the guy submitted Cooper Reffer Moses.
His winning letter came with that opposite name, is there still a chance for him to continue his process?
Case: 20227AFF 3k
December 29, 2021 at 17:00
Yes, he should correct that in the DS260.
December 30, 2021 at 11:00
Hello Brit
I am the box number 2022AF34, the KCC had had to unlock my DS-260 on 01-11-2021 which I modified and submitted as early as 2-11-2021 and my number has not yet been issued to the visa bulletin 2022.
I would just like to know if this modification will have a delay on the execution of my file?
thank you

December 31, 2021 at 14:30
Dear Mr. Simon. Thank you for the guidance and your valuable knowledge shared. Happy New year to you and your Family.
December 31, 2021 at 14:31
Dear Brit,
Any news regarding 2021? I´m plaintif of Morison but there is no progressions at all as I can see…
January 3, 2022 at 03:05
No – you will have to wait several months while DoS update their software to be able to issue the 2020 and 2021 visas. They project April for that. There is also the appeal going. So – patience.
January 1, 2022 at 20:25
Hi Simon,
I’m from Iran & my case number is 12xxx but I live in Italy. Is it possible that I get an interview without becoming current? Has such a thing ever happened before?
I’m asking this because there are not many DV cases in Naples (compared to some embassies in Asia).
Summary of my dv status so far:
DS260 first submission: May 16
DR email: September 23
Document submission: September 26
DQ email: December 2
DS260 unlock: December 29
DS260 second submission: December 30
Wishing you a healthy, happy New Year.

Hi BritSimon,
OC11xx here, I just received my 2NL scheduled for February (I just recently moved to Asia from NZ). I know once the green card is issued I have to enter within 6 months. As I wasn’t expecting to have an interview so early,
1) What is the max time that I can be away from the US (after entering within the 6 months)?
What happens in the worst case scenario that after staying for a few years we want to move back to NZ? Will we have to:
2) apply for a visa again
3) formally renounce the green card?
Many thanks
January 2, 2022 at 06:02
Hi KH! What date is your interview?
Just wondering how this is possible as your case number isn’t current yet as OC is only at 850…
January 3, 2022 at 03:12
If your number really is OC1100 then your scheduling is a mistake. They will probably reschedule your interview.
1. 12 months.
2. Deal with that if it comes to it.
January 3, 2022 at 14:34
Hi Brit, Thanks for the good work!!!

January 4, 2022 at 05:25
There are 18404 cases before and 11281 after you in the AF region. That yields approximately 30380 people before and 18622 after you.
Am around Case Number 33k. so is that a high or a low case number.
January 4, 2022 at 06:34
You can understand the numbers…
January 6, 2022 at 05:29

January 4, 2022 at 13:16
Hi Brit,
Happy New Year! Please, is it possible to receive 2NL in the month of January if your visa number according to the visa bulletin might becomes current in March?
January 4, 2022 at 19:02
Possible – yes.
January 5, 2022 at 06:04
Hi Brit, my case number is 2022AF356**
I sent Ds260 on the 31th July 2021 and sent documents without request in November. I haven’t had any emails from Kcc since then.
1. What is the status of my case number, high or low?
2. When will the case be current in your estimation?
3. What is 2NL? I seem to be a bit naive about this.
January 6, 2022 at 19:02
1. You can ascertain your position here – https://dvcharts.xarthisius.xyz/ceacFY22.html

January 6, 2022 at 19:07
No idea.
January 5, 2022 at 22:41
Pls can u clarify this for me.i learnt dv 2020 d order from court was for dos to submit the number of visas issued starting from January 11 and then every 60 days and also d appeal does not stop d government from issuing d visas unless stay of execution. So my point is dos updating their software to start processing dv 2020 from April flaunt on court order cos from 11 January they have to tell court how many visas they have issued.thanks
January 6, 2022 at 19:10
They can report that they have issued zero visas, because they are working on their systems. The report does not force them to issue.
January 5, 2022 at 22:44
Hi Brit,
Please I’m Dv2021 winner and I submitted my Ds260 application form on 07/2020 but til now I haven’t received any message from KCC. I even anticipated and sent them my documents still nothing. I just want to know if I should forget about everything or if there’s still a hope for me. Happy new year to you sir.
January 6, 2022 at 19:12
DV2021 ended. If you were not in the lawsuits, then your hope is almost gone. The only remaining chance is the legislation, but that has a small chance of being passed.
January 6, 2022 at 23:44
Hello
Congratulations for your citizenship
Im dv 2022 winner and in sent my ds260
My accompany changed her passport due to its expiration and we submitted ds260 information with her new passport number, should we send any email to kcc about this before being current and interview?
January 7, 2022 at 16:50
No – as it is a derivative, there is no concern.
January 10, 2022 at 10:30
Thank you so much
So it doesn’t need to email to KCC about changing passport of my partner who is not main applicant.
Just i have to bring both of her passports on interview date, am i right?
Thanks????
January 11, 2022 at 15:04
Yes
January 7, 2022 at 00:29
Thanks very much for replying me Sir. From what I understand is that all ma hope is gone. I never knew what was the lawsuit all about in the first place, since there was nobody to guide me on what to do exactly. I wish I knew about the lawsuit. Any chance for me to be on the lawsuit Sir? I’ve had sleepless nights, cried, prayed, fasted for KCC to message me but that never happened. Travelling to the US would be a new chapter of ma life. Oh Lord have mercy!!! Anyhow I leave everything in the hands of God. Only Him alone knows why. Once more thank you very much for all the assistance and support you bring to each and everyone of us Mr Brit. I appreciate you.
January 7, 2022 at 16:54
No you cannot join lawsuits now. I publicized them for months. It’s really surprising you weren’t better informed.

My case number is current in visa bulletin of december 2021 but i don’t received But I did not receive the confirmation message.
Plz answer me
Think you do much
January 8, 2022 at 03:48
There have been some delays, so you must be patient.
January 9, 2022 at 23:00
Dear Simon,
Considering that 2NLs are already being sent out for February, whereas I haven’t received mine for January yet, would the best strategy be mere patience? Or should I contact KCC while it’s still the month my case number is current in?
Regards.
January 11, 2022 at 14:59
You can contact them if you prefer.
January 12, 2022 at 06:46
It’s just that I had already contacted them a month ago.
They replied:
“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. Once the Kentucky Consular Center has finished processing your DS-260, you will receive an email from the Kentucky Consular Center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing.
The Kentucky Consular Center has received your documents. Please allow time for processing of your documents. Documents are processed in numerical order, based on lottery rank number. Once KCC has processed your documents, we will let you know if anything is missing or if we have received everything needed.Interviews for the DV 2022 program will begin in October 2021 and will conclude on September 30, 2022.
KCC cannot provide information as to when an interview date may become available for your case. Interviews are scheduled numerically according to assigned case numbers which have completed processing. The Department of State designates how many interviews will be scheduled each month according to visa availability.”
However, this was before they removed the document procedure. Now that the entire process has become much quicker, should I worry that 2NLs are being sent out for February while I still haven’t received mine for January (the CN being EU90xx)? Is it worth contacting KCC again in the current context, even if they had replied a month ago, before the document procedure removal?
January 13, 2022 at 16:33
There is no harm in contacting them again.
January 14, 2022 at 16:23
Hi Simon.
I followed your advice and contacted KCC again. I specifically described my concern – only to get the following general info (which I already knew). Here is what they replied:
“Thank you for your inquiry.
Please comply with the instructions provided on the website http://www.travel.state.gov.
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. Once the Kentucky Consular Center has finished processing your DS-260, you will receive an email from the Kentucky Consular Center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing.
Interviews for the DV 2022 program will begin in October 2021 and will conclude on September 30, 2022. KCC cannot provide information as to when an interview date may become available for your case. Interviews are scheduled numerically according to assigned case numbers which have completed processing. The Department of State designates how many interviews will be scheduled each month according to visa availability. You may refer to the visa bulletin at travel.state.gov for the list of current numbers. This information is updated on the 15th day of each month thereafter.
For January, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2022 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: AFRICA 13,500 Except: Egypt 8,000 ASIA 6,000 Except: Iran 4,000 Nepal 3,200 EUROPE 10,000 N. AMERICA 6 OCEANIA 650 S. AMERICA 900 The Visa Bulletin at https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/law-and-policy/bulletin.html is updated monthly and contains the current allocation cut-off numbers as well as other important information.
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant’s full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.”
January 14, 2022 at 17:12
Still processing then.
January 11, 2022 at 17:41
Good to come into contact with you Mr. Brit. Congrats for your citizenship ad God bless you abundantly for this great voluntary work.
Hope to be current in the next VB. Af 23xxxx. My question is this. Can i drop my derivatives at the embassy when i get 2nl if am not able to secure the needed fund to pay? Pls your advise
January 11, 2022 at 22:56

I am dv 22 ,my cas number is AF100××,i am from Morocco ,i sent my ds 260 on 24 june 2021,my number is current for december visa bulletin but until this time i don’t receive the confirmation if my ds 260 are processing completely. I sent an inquiry to kcc and they answered me that the ds is in the process of being processed. Is the ds study conducted according to the case number or according to the date it was sent?
January 13, 2022 at 16:36
They work on DS260s in the order submitted, BUIT not all cases take the same time to process.
January 12, 2022 at 13:05

My wife has got PCC from India (Indian Embassy in Morocco) before one and half year for her previous stay in India. And she has not visited India after that. Should she take new PCC again? or same will be accepted in the interview at post CSB, Morocco.

Hi Brit,
My case is current since FEB, AS7xxx, submitted DS260 in June 3rd week.
I have sent several emails to KCC, to inquire about DS-260 status. same reply ” forms are received, currently processing, allow several weeks to process…..”.
I am confused, as me primary applicant (04 foreign tour – 3-5 days – NO Middle east, no any complicated work, etc.) spouse (02 foreign 3-5 days- NO Middle EAST, no work exp), and 02 children less than 5 years.
I am wondering why my case is still processing.
1. What would you think the reason for delay in processing?
2. What can I do other than waiting ?

2. Yoga.

Hello Brit Simon 🙂
I submitted my DS260 on November 16, 2022. My Case Number is 19xxx. This case number was available in January’s Visa bulletin, but still, I didn’t get any email from KCC. Also, I saw information about document submission which is no longer needed. So the next step for my case will be 2NL?
Would you recommend me to contact KCC?
Thank you
Regards
