Hello Mr. Britsimon
Many greetings u n your family.
Hope you are doing great.
I am Dv 2020 winner and my case number is AF252xx.
I hve completed the DS260 form early February, submitted all the required documents. And i received the congratulation notification which indicates that i am ready to be scheduled on March 2, 2020.
I was expecting to get the 2NL at the end of march for May interview. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Just to ask any suggestion about the next step. Was the congratulation later mistake. Or shall i call because they are not responding my email…
Thank u very much.
This process w’ld be difficult without your endless support and advice

KCC did not send the second batch of 2NLs. That is because they cancelled all May interview, based on the embassies being closed. You must remain patient.

I wonder what’s their criteria for closing/opening an embassy… It doesn’t seem like it’s related to the situation in a specific country as the US chose to close ALL embassies, even in countries with very low infection rate and almost no restrictions in place, To the best of my knowledge, the US is the ONLY country in the world that chose to shut down all its embassies around the world rather than just in the more severely affected areas. So I wonder what they’re basing their decision on, and whether it’s related to the situation in the US itself which is dire and not going to get better any time soon…

Good day.I played lottery for a client and he won.I have been trying to reach him on his contact to no avail.I have finally seen him today while his case number has been passed.his case number is 24000 and was current in March.I don’t know if we can still go ahead and summit DS260 or its too late?

It is not too late, although of course the pandemic is now a big factor in the process as embassies are currently closed.
April 3, 2020 at 12:09 am
According to your knowledge do you think that the embassies can all reopen in June ?

I am not an epidemiologist – so I don’t know.

Hi Brit, I hope you are OK and safe. I called KCC and asked them if they are working even though not scheduling interviews, they said: no, everything is on hold and they are not working on anything and they cannot extend the process after the due date September. I am so sad, this opportunity comes once in life time and going to lose it. I don’t think there will be a Visa Bulletin for April.

Are there any stories of people moving over to USA these days with the pandemic? It would be good to hear them to get an idea of the things that I would need to go through.

Brit, people keep posting that KKC has stopped working. Is it true or not? No one has received their confirmation letters I guess. I’m also waiting for mine, but they don’t send me anything.

There is a global pandemic and people are dying all over the world
The world is shutting down – temporarily – and things will be very different after
The epicenter has moved from China to Europe….now to the United States where things are also particularly very bad and drastic
What is it that people don’t understand?
KCC being open is the last urgent issue – and whether they sent anything is the LAST thing on THEIR mind – have some empathy and sympathy

Hi Brit,
I am a dv2020 winner, I just wanna say hi and make sure that you are okay. We didn’t listen from you for a while now.
Hope you are in great health

Dear Brit, I have couple of questions, I will be very thankful for your answers.
1. When asking for charitable organizations for assistance is it considered a public charge?
2. My husband has his SSN but me and my son don’t have it because SS offices are closed, will we also get stimulus checks?
3. Is there any other options for new immigrants who have lost their job or couldnt get their SSN yet, find some assisitance?
P.S. When my husband came to US everthing was good, he started earning money after a month, everything changed, our savings ara almost gone, as we bought couple of things plus rent etc.

Hello Brit ,
I am only checking if you and your family are safe. May God save you and us from this crazy virus.
