People are now receiving their 2NLs for August 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.
All remaining 2016 cases are eligible for interview now, so there should be a lot of 2NLs going out. I’m expecting that some of the busiest embassies will not have allowed KCC to schedule all the interviews in August and will push some cases to September – so that might mean some people don’t get their 2NL. Write a comment here if that happens mentioning the embassy and when you submitted. Some late submissions will have been unable to be processed in time for these interviews and will hopefully be in September.

Hello brit….Can the AP go beyond 30\9 \2016? cause according to my md understanding if you didn’t get your visa by then you are screwed ..thank you brit
September 6, 2016 at 17:28
No it cannot go beyond September 30. Your understanding is correct.
September 2, 2016 at 02:55

August 31, 2016 at 06:03
Contact the embassy. The October date is no good to you at all.
August 31, 2016 at 04:47

Dear Simon
how are you,i had my interview on 24 august in khartoum and thanks god my case was approved and the consular told me to wait for an email from Khartoum embassy to Receipt my passport, Today i had entered my case NO in CEAC website and the status was Ready for interview.
I cant understand
August 28, 2016 at 14:41
It just means they haven’t updated CEAC. It’s unimportant.
August 13, 2016 at 18:48
if sponsors income sufficient to do so what will happen. cant he give two affidavits for two deferment people
August 13, 2016 at 18:51
I keep saying, it is unwise. It’s a risk. If you want to take that extra risk, go ahead.
August 13, 2016 at 04:22
Dear Brit,
I had interviews on 11th august and Consular officer gave a Yellow paper to submit a joint sponsor within two weeks because my current sponsors annual income was not sufficient for three of us. they said they are going to stop GC lottery visa process in end august.
1. I have found two sponsors and they agreed to send the i143 and tax details to embassy, is it ok to submit two Affidavits for the safe side, do they select the best one from them,
2, pls send me the latest poverty line format for 2016.
3, how many days they will take to reprocess our visas after submitting the required document and how do we get to know our visa ok or not.
seek your advice
thank you very much for the help you are given through out the period.
regards,
CT

1. One is enough – choose the best.
2. Google 2016 poverty guidelines
3. The time taken is up to the embassy, when your visa is in your hand, you’ll celebrate.
August 13, 2016 at 11:34
my sponsor has already given an i134 for 2016 GC winner, but according to 2016 poverty guideline he has sufficient income to sponsor us. can we proceed with this or do we need to get a new sponsor,
Can a one person give two sponsor affidavits within the same year?
August 13, 2016 at 13:41
That is unwise.
August 13, 2016 at 14:34
On that note I do have a question.
My sponsor has sponsored someone sometime last year however is about the poverty line. Can she still be our sponsor? Me and husband…
Sponsor is working over 25 years..own a home and have a good salary.
August 13, 2016 at 16:00
If the embassy know the person has sponsored someone else it will make the salary insufficient – which is why I said it is “unwise”. It’s a silly risk to add.
August 12, 2016 at 21:32

thank you so much for your help, i just got my visa yesterday!
August 12, 2016 at 21:33

August 7, 2016 at 14:34
People that don’t read or follow the instructions…
August 6, 2016 at 17:27
Any applicants from Tanania here?
Anybody used a photo more than 6mo old in their initial E-DV entry and ended up getting rejected a visa because of that?
August 6, 2016 at 12:09

August 6, 2016 at 14:37
Please make your question clear – and mak sure you REPLY to my answers to continue a conversation…

August 5, 2016 at 23:52

August 5, 2016 at 22:01

August 5, 2016 at 22:27
Yes. That form is useless.
August 5, 2016 at 17:07
Is 2Nls letter for AOS(Adjustment of Status) too or only for those who are outside the USA? If 2NLS is for AOS too, when should it be sent by email? I am asking it for DV-2016 AOS case.
August 5, 2016 at 22:33
2Nls are not the same for AoS – but a DV2016 AoS case should be filed by now!
August 5, 2016 at 09:25
Hello brit
In my form i-134 my sponser fill all senstance except no (11): he (intend) and check that but ,he doesn’t mention how?
Is it necessary to get the explain from my sponser?
Thank you for your help
August 5, 2016 at 14:29
It should say something like “any assistance/support needed for as long as needed”
August 4, 2016 at 23:15
