People are now receiving their 2NLs for July interviews, it will take a few hours – and possibly even a couple of days before all have gone 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.

Hello BRIT.
By the grace of God I received my 2NL for the interview of July.
I had a problem on my first names when registering (2 names marked on 3), I rectified on the DS 260 but my 2NL came with the same error (2 first names instead of 3).
Is this can been a problem ??
What solution for this problem ??
A certificate of individuality can solve the problem ??
May 20, 2016 at 00:40
It is normal.
May 20, 2016 at 00:43
OK .
What can i do now ? What solution for this error ???
May 20, 2016 at 00:52
There is no need for a solution. It is not a problem. Forget about it!
May 20, 2016 at 00:50

Hello
We’ve just received the 2nl letter,
Cn AS10xxx
Ds260 in May and unlocked in Oct once
Interview in mid july – AMM Jordan
Question sir: do we have to confirm the appointment with the embassy ?
Thank you
May 20, 2016 at 14:19
Usually not.
May 20, 2016 at 07:25
Just received my 2NL for 15 july , I submitted in may with cn 409**, thanks very much for ur assistance. My God’s fevour continue on others .
May 20, 2016 at 08:00
Dear Mr. BritSimon,
Thank you very much for all the help you are providing here, it is priceless.
I am from Sudan and I am living in Saudi Arabia and I am to hoping be current next visa bulletin. I initially (while filling DS260) selected Cairo, Egypt as my interview location because at that time the embassy in Khartoum, Sudan was not available to be selected and I was planning to leave Saudi Arabia during the summer (I am a student). My question is: I have changed my address after unlocking DS260 then send KCC an email asking to change my interview as advised in the FAQ. I got this reply: “Thank you for your inquiry.The DV interviewing Post for Sudan is Khartoum. You can find the website for that U.S. Embassy or Consulate, etc..” But when I check my interview location in the DS260 it is still showing Cairo, Egypt, Will it change or it is already changed but will not get updated in the DS260? (I got the email few days ago.)
Thank you again
May 20, 2016 at 14:16
They will pick the embassy based on your address, not the embassy you picked.
May 21, 2016 at 09:42
Ok, so now that I have changed my address to Khartoum instead of Saudi Arabi and then asked to change interview post from Cairo to Khartoum, I should expect to be interviewed in Khartoum REGARDLESS of what is stated in DS260 (which is still showing Cairo)?
Thank you very much for your help..
May 20, 2016 at 08:54
Hello Brit, thanks very much for ur help, i got my 2NL today and i when i was confirming my appointment i was asked to fill the DS-260 and i was wondering whether it is the same as the confirmation number of DS-260 or same as case number. and again i can not finish it because my case is still in transit.
May 20, 2016 at 14:14

May 20, 2016 at 09:13

May 20, 2016 at 09:52
Hi Brit
I receive the 2NL and my interview will be in July 12. I have a doubt about the studies. My wife is the principal applicant and she had an University degree and a MBA. we don’t have the high school records.
It’s enough to show the university records or only the high school records are valid? (in order to enter the university is necesary to have high school studies)
Thank you
May 20, 2016 at 14:10
Safer to get the high school records as well.
May 20, 2016 at 09:55
I received my 2NL. DS was completed on 02 JUL. Thanks Simon!
May 20, 2016 at 10:23

Simon just a quick question. Its already 20th of month but when i check CEAC visa status actually to know about the no. of applicants with derivatives. I dont find any case for KDU embassy from 6200 onwards ( checked about 30).
SInce the bulletein is current upto 6700 is not that supposed to show it ready instead of at NVC.
Thanks in advance
May 20, 2016 at 14:05

Hi mMr Simon. Thank you for everything you. We received our 2nl today for 1 of July in Seoul. We are from Mongolia and my sister asked an agency which helps green card about affotid of support. And they said we dont need it. Is that true?
May 20, 2016 at 14:02
It is not always true. It’s up to you to decide to risk attending the interview without a I134.

What happened with you now
May 20, 2016 at 15:23
Hi Brit,
My fiancee has been selscted for the 2017 DV but we are planning to get married in June,2016.
However, we are a little bit afraid because the date of marriage will come after the selection.
Will that affect our case or will it appear as if we only got married because of the DV selection.
May 20, 2016 at 16:11
It could appear to be a fraud marriage, which is why you will need to show proof of your relationship (letters, photos, trips) in the interview.
May 20, 2016 at 16:31

Hi brit, today I booked medicals at Iom, and I got first week of June appointment. My wife will be two months pregnant, and am wondering if they will still do a chest x-ray on her, or we might be told to wait for a few months, maybe till her second trimester. Someone told me they don’t x-ray when pregnancy is in the first trimester. Am Worried this might Delay us. Interview will be in the first week of july.
Thanking you on advance.
May 20, 2016 at 17:48
They normally perform the xray but use a shield to protect the womb.

May 22, 2016 at 20:04
Hi Brit,
I checked on the ESC website, it is always same, the 1NL is displayed.
I sent an email to KCC
I surely think it is from the fact that I modified and sent my DS-260 March 30, 2016.
I am looking forward to KCC response to my concern in the coming days but meantime I will check from time to time
May 22, 2016 at 20:08
Let me know what they say…
May 22, 2016 at 22:42
OK
May 23, 2016 at 20:26
Hi Brit,
Here is the mail I received of KCC;
