2NLs are starting to be sent for September interviews (DV2019). Please note – I am saying STARTING to be sent, some 2NLs will be sent right up until the end of the month.
This relates to DV2019, and does not concern DV2020 in any way.
Please also understand that 2NLs are only sent to cases which are current, had submitted their DS260 so that processing has been completed on that AND they have sent their documents some time ago. If someone only sent their documents in the last week or two, that was probably not in enough time to get on the list to be scheduled this month. Given that this is the final month we have to wait and see whether many cases will have been unable to be scheduled.
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!
VERY IMPORTANT. 2NLs will be sent during the remainder of the month. If you do not get yours today – no need to freak out, just wait. There is no need to ask me or anyone elseabout specific regions or countries, assume any country or region could have 2NLs as late as the last day of the month (last day in the USA, not where you live).
Also, you will not get the 2NL if you have not submitted your DS260 AND your documents to KCC AND your case number is not current (lower than the VB number for your region). If ANY of those three things are not true you will not get the 2NL, and there is no need to ask me about that – it should be clear (especially as I have repeated this information many times before and a couple of times in this article).
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. You log in to the ESC page with your original confirmation code (from when you entered the lottery.

i cant found diversity visa in visa type
July 27, 2019 at 02:57
Look more carefully and use some judgement.
July 27, 2019 at 13:49
HI Simon,
On the document return service accidently i did put wrong year of birth the day and month are correct but rather that 1990 I`ve put 1989 and just discovered it today my interview is in 4 weeks.
It`s only the document delivery service not DS-260 or anything other.
1. ) You think it can lead to visa disqualification?
Thanks

Hi Mr. Brit
Some guys have recieved this e-mail.
Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check http://www.dvlottery.state.gov….
-Is this email means that you will soon get the 2NL?
-Is it what means your case number is in transit?
-Does it mean the 2NL will sent 100%?
Thank you so much Mr. Brit.
July 26, 2019 at 08:27
not received this. I hope its not a problem
July 26, 2019 at 12:00
Hello Sam,
I got this from an email that I sent them on July 19 to learn more about 2NL and they sent me this email that you received so let’s hope they help us reduce this stress that has been eating away at us for days!
July 27, 2019 at 03:06
Please read the FAQ. Please.
July 26, 2019 at 00:06
Hey Simon
I need your help please ( my case numbre is AF00046 )
So , for me , I submitted my DS-260 in 16 May 2018 ( one day after the results ) , I sent my documents even before they asked me , and I got their email in 14 June to confirme that I submitted all the needed documents.
Now I called them twice , to see if there is anything stopping the process , but they told me that I’ll receive an email for an interview in next couple of weeks , and when I told them that normally there is no emails after the end of July , he told me that there is exceptions !
The thing that makes me thinking too much , is that my case numbre is In AF , but I’m a resident in France and my interview will take place in Paris. So maybe that’s why it’s geeting late ?
So , all I wanted to understand , why I’m not receiving the 2nd letter thought I did everything in time , and even before time ! and Is there anything besides wait and see that I can do ?
Thank you
July 26, 2019 at 11:56
Hello Cendre,
I think we have to wait because there’s nothing we can do but wait for the notification, you were reassured for the notification, so patient only, For my part, they are organized enough so let us pray that this notification is there well before the end of the month of July because we stress enough in this story!
July 27, 2019 at 03:15
Just wait. Really. That’s it.
July 26, 2019 at 06:34
you are from which country?
July 26, 2019 at 07:15
After starting sending, someone got new 2nl emails?
July 26, 2019 at 09:12
Hey Brit,
1.Do i need Form I-134 with me at the interview or my sponsor is supposed to send it somewhere?
If i should have it at the interview, is a copy ok or must it be original?
Still waiting on my 2NL though
July 27, 2019 at 03:28
You take it to the interview.

Hi.
Mr. Brit. Are you Ok? I hope you are doing well !
…
Your case number is now current for interview processing. Once the interview date has been scheduled, you will receive notification via email to check http://www.dvlottery.state.gov….
-Is this email means that the person will soon get the 2NL???
-Is it what means the case number is in transit???
-Does it mean the 2NL will be sent 100%???
Thank you so much Mr. Brit. best regards.
Anyone could answer correctly untill Mr. Brit will back again. Thank you.
July 26, 2019 at 17:56
You might receive the 2nl before the end of the month .
– Nothing is 100% guaranteed until you have it in your hands .
Pray and wait and see .
July 26, 2019 at 21:01
I got the same email with the your case is ready to be scheduled…. Any updates or thoughts? I think this is a good thing but not a guarantee
July 26, 2019 at 16:10
Mm MJ
AF30XXX,
Hi Mr Brit, Wish to know if want goes with the highest certificate or all certificates acquired after Advanced level. That is for the interview?
July 26, 2019 at 17:50
Go to the interview with ALL certificates you have , ESPECIALLY the high school certificate . Be over-prepared ( as Brit always says ) , than leaving some papers at home and regret it later .
July 26, 2019 at 21:49
Mm MJ what is advance level
July 27, 2019 at 03:56
Take all education documents from High school and upwards.
July 27, 2019 at 03:49
Greetings…
Can 2nls be sent on Saturdays and Sundays?
If no, that means we are left with Monday and Tuesday….?
July 27, 2019 at 04:02
No.
July 27, 2019 at 05:56
what happens if you don’t open required entrant status check , will embassy send the interwiew date even without that being opened . Is this the 2nd letter ? HELP
July 27, 2019 at 13:52
The ESC has the interview date and time. THe embassy won’t contact you.
July 27, 2019 at 07:01
What happens if you don’t open the REQUIRED ENTRANT STATUS CHECK …. will you be interwiewed by the way ??
July 27, 2019 at 07:38
u will not be able to goto interview without the interview letter which u can find it only at the entrant status check page
July 27, 2019 at 08:13
Thank you so much .. im really trying to get my confirmation number back as soon as posible ..
July 27, 2019 at 13:58
You don’t know when to go to the interview.
July 27, 2019 at 15:57
Hi Mr Brit. It’s very nice to hearing from you.
We know that there is just 2 days (July) for the 2NLs !!!
People whom have recieved the ready for scheduling, are they gonna recieve the 2NL 100%???
Thank you Sir.
July 27, 2019 at 18:29
As you say – there are two days left. I’m sure some won’t get the interview details because they were too late to submit satisfactory documents.
July 27, 2019 at 18:50
Even if you have received ready scheduling message?
July 27, 2019 at 19:40
That depends when of course.
July 27, 2019 at 19:58
21 june, Europe, Russia. What is your opinion?
July 27, 2019 at 20:48
Just need some patience then
July 28, 2019 at 06:50
July 31st is supposed to be the last day !
July 27, 2019 at 19:01
This is becoming so scaring now
July 27, 2019 at 19:17

July 27, 2019 at 19:29

i wish you good luck man
July 29, 2019 at 08:09
Congratulations!
Last one, just for stats: when did you receive “ready for schedule” confirmation letter?
Good luck!
July 27, 2019 at 19:40
No. You need to read the instructions. There you will see embassy specific instructions. If this is important to you, read.
July 27, 2019 at 22:41
Oh Lord i haven’t heard any one from Cameroon say they received 2nl what could be the problem? Sir Brit do you think a call or an email to kcc will help? Am believing and hoping we get ours on Monday to Wednesday. I did received the ready for scheduling mail on June 14th but am wondering how people who got theirs on the 21th of June ready received 2nls in other AF regions. Father the others and i need your miracle.I believe all is well Sir Brit I will get mine 2019AF46xxx.We all should have faith.
July 28, 2019 at 03:58
If you are entirely incapable of containing your impatience for a few more days, you can call KCC.
July 28, 2019 at 19:34
Amen oooooooh
July 30, 2019 at 12:54
Amen
July 28, 2019 at 20:05
I call kcc this gone Friday, and they told me that kcc are thought with processing of documents for 2019 cases, they will be sending 2NLs until August 10. Is time for asking God for his help.
July 28, 2019 at 20:54
Good day Brit,
Can you please confirm this information about the extension of time for 2nls?
July 29, 2019 at 23:09
I don’t want anyone to think that is “normal”. It is true in other years that KCC have scheduled a few cases after the end of July, but there is no guarantee that they will do that, and no way to say if that process will be consistent across all embassies, regions etc.
July 28, 2019 at 21:53
Hi brit,
I’m dv2020 selectee, I’m just got married few months ago and my wife don’t want to go with me to US.
I have already filled my ds260 form and she is not added in it.
And i answered the 1st option ‘no’ for “is your spouse immigrating to US with you ”
And for the 2nd option i answered ‘yes’ to “is your spouse immigrating to US at a later date to join you”
So my question is that shall i unlock my DS-260 to answer ‘no’ to the 2nd option, or its not a problem?
July 29, 2019 at 23:13
It is not a problem as long as you listed yourself as married and listed your spouse on your DS260 form.
July 28, 2019 at 23:22

Hi Brit
I already submitted my DS-260 and I chose the United States Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Right now am already in Saudi Arabia with my husband to be ready for our interview as I submitted in my DS-260. However, the interview appointment I received was the interview at the United States Embassy in Khartoum Sudan..
Can I change my interview location from the United States Embassy in Khartoum Sudan to the United States Embassy in Riyadh.
Thank you
July 29, 2019 at 23:18
They base the embassy choice on your current address, not what you choose. Changing embassies at this stage is risky – if there is a way to avoid changing – do that.
July 30, 2019 at 06:20
Thanks for your advice

July 29, 2019 at 20:11
Hi bris
Good evening, I have been reading people’s comment on calling KCC, my worries are if all the cases are ready what is preventing them from sending 2NL. Answering calls and giving individual date seems time consuming than sending 2NL.
July 29, 2019 at 23:50
Would you please relax. This is normal…
July 29, 2019 at 23:00
I called KCC today and my Interview is scheduled for septembre 18th. AF46xxx . 2nl coming by the end of the week. This is truly a relief ! Thanks Brits for your immense and exeptionnal guidance…there is word strong enough to express my deepest gratitude. Thank you !
