My number Is current and I received ready for schedule email. But my embassy only scheduled 10 dv cases. Joining lawsuit will help me?

Hello Brit,
My father was on a full-time job one and a half years back (now unemployed). What should he write in the “Primary Occupation” section in the DS-260? Thanks in advance.

Good morning brit ,
i watched one of your youtube video where you sayed that you will try to contact Charlie oppenhim by e-mail to ask him about what he says about Visa bultin
1) did you try or did he respond ?
2) if no do you think that he can change his mind and not put VB current (i ask this beacause lawyers in there onboarding page for lawswit based there prediction on Charlies prediction they sayed that even if your number is High oppenhim says it will be current by june)
3)Is a CN 65K from Africa quite high or very high ?
if we suppose my number will be current and the lawswit (mandamus) succed then
4) Is the process of my case Automatic ? or do i’ll have to contact KCC and show them prove that i’m plantiff ?
Thank you very much for all your effort

have you heard something about whether bogota is going to start scheduling cases?

Dear Britsimon,
I hope you are healthy. I am confused about the final part of DS260; Sign and Submit for my child.
1) It is written Did anyone assist you in filling out this application? For this part, if it is for my child DS 260 who is under 6 years old; do I need to answer by yes, and then filling other information about myself as a father?
2) After this part two information required which are: Enter your KCC case number: this is clear while the other one is: Enter your passport number: I do not know whether for my child DS260: should I write her passport number or my passport number as main applicant?
3) Actually, I submitted our DS 260 in October 2020 and for point 1 I filled as no for my child and for point 2 I wrote my passport number, and I got confirmation number for her. My question is if they are not correct do I need to unlock the DS 260 for correcting these?
Best regards.

Hi Brit
Appreciate everything you do
I am 21AS38XX and I’ve checked some updates that my embassy is ready for 16 more cases just today but I still haven’t received my 2NL. My docs are processed and I’m ready for scheduling as per the congratulations email I received. However, I still haven’t gotten the “your case is ready for interview processing” email as many are getting nowadays. (I suppose kcc only schedules after sending the interview processing email?)
I’ve asked kcc twice whether my docs are fine and they said dS260 and docs are processed as records indicate. Is there anything I can do to get the interview processing email? Please advise as I really need this chance. What should I do? Kcc is not scheduling me.
Thanks

Remember the email itself is not important, you should check the DV Entrant status check

How is it possible to get the interview date and time without the 2NL? Simon please clarify
April 12, 2021 at 8:59 pm
You don’t need the email to check if you’ve been scheduled here: https://dvprogram.state.gov
April 12, 2021 at 9:14 pm
I’m aware of that link, but my question is a totally different thing. What’s the point of checking the link if I’m gonna see the 1NL as seen before? Unless, it will show my interview date and time without sending a notification in my email that I’ve got updates at https://dvprogram.state.gov/ etc.
April 12, 2021 at 11:45 pm
The “2nl” just tells you to check that page, the “2nl” literally just says check your dv entry status. That’s it. The actual interview appointment will show where the 1nl is.

Hi Simon,
1). I was wondering if I could renew my passport after I get sent my 2nl, can I show up to the interview with the new passport and the old passport/proof of the old passport? Or do I need to change it before?
2).My case becomes current in June, assuming I get sent my 2nl for an interview in June, my current passport expires in June 2022, is this enough validity time? Or do you think I need more?
April 12, 2021 at 8:51 pm
Hi Brit,
Can I change the DV interview location to the United State after entering to the US by F-1 Visa?
April 12, 2021 at 9:32 pm
Hello Britsimon,
Two questions:
1. Our second DV visa 2020 OC 5** has expired. But we’ve been living under an Australian (relatively Covid free) bubble for the last two months and recently read that Biden’s rescinder on 24 Feb, 2021 seems to suggest we can still move to the US on an expired DV 2020 visa up until the 24 August 2021. DO you know if this is correct?
Second Question:
2. If the above is correct, do we need to go back to the consulate and get the visa re-issued (a third time) or just take a leap of faith and rock up at the airport (2 cats, 1 dog, 2 kids, 3 fish, 8 bags, and one hubby) and be allowed to leave?
Thanks so much…
Jean
