Please read this important update after I spoke with KCC on February 24.
I spoke directly to the KCC staff and checked the best way to handle the documents situation for those that are not certain their documents are processed (see below).
KCC confirmed that they cannot see document status until the case is current. That is a change from the previous situation where the KCC staff at least could check that documents were received and being processed. There is separation between the teams and the systems. So – the regular KCC staff may not be able to provide good updates at this time.
The representative told me the best idea for cases where you are NOT certain your documents are satisfactory is to send the documents to the KCCDV team at this email address – KCCDV@state.gov
Make sure your case number is in the subject line, and include your name and birthdate in the email body. If you are attaching the documents make sure you attach the whole complete set of documents as described in this LINKED article about the document procedure.
KCC will check if your case is currently being scheduled and will inform you if that is the case with an email that says “you are current for scheduling“.
This update is about the documents. It is important for those cases not yet scheduled to make sure they have sent the correct documents AND that those documents have been processed, so, if you are not CERTAIN that KCC has processed your documents you need to check with KCC and ask them whether they are satisfied with your documents.
By now KCC should have asked everyone to submit documents, so if you have not been asked you might have missed the email. So – whether you have received the email asking for documents or not – you now need to send them.
The full instructions on what documents to send and how to send them are in this link.

Hello Brit!
I hope you are staying safe and healthy.
Is there any information regarding the extension of dates for visa procedures due to closing embassies because of COVID-19? Or interviews will conclude on September 30, 2020 how they were supposed to, reducing the number of cases?
Thank you.

The 30th September date cannot be changed. So – some people will miss out.

Hi Brit,
Maybe I am wrong, but I think there was a post on your blog that you ve published in february saying that we can submit our document again to KCCDVDoc. So that we will be certain that they will be processed (or somthing like that) I guess you’ve deleted it, anyway, Ive been selected and my Case number is AF64xxx from Algeria I’ve sent documents on january, and I’m a little bit anxious that they won’t be processed, I’ve sent them an email to check, and I’m waiting for a response, my case number is a little bit high and with the actuel circumstances i guess my chances are getting slim

I don’t delete articles. You can see the article by clicking on the archive link.
As for your chances, it really is a matter of “wait and see” because we don’t know what will happen with COVID-19

My case number is AS28***.
Embassy is kuwait is showing AS27***. Even though the AS cut off is 18***.
We submitted the documents in October but didnt get any confirmation yet. We email KCC but they didnt give any confirmation yet.
Should we wait? Or send email.
How come kuwait embassy is showing 27*** ready while AS cut off is 18***.
Currently the embassy is closed untill further notice.
March 20, 2020 at 15:17
No case of AS27XXX is ready – you are mistaken. You can contact KCC to ask about documents, but they will probably not have much info. Be patient.

I am a silent reader ever since being selected following the details you have highlighted to prepare for. I thank you for the guidance and l followed it well getting through the interview from Fiji on the 16th March. We were over prepared,all documents in place no questions asked just thumbprints taken, documents checked and that’s it.We were blessed to be interviewed on Monday and received our documents on Thursday of the same week. Thank you very much for the advice and l believe that God will bless you for you unwavering support and guidance for people to achieve their dreams.

Good preparation = easy interviews.
Congratulations!

Hi Brit. Thanks for all your endeavors .May our good Lord reward and bless you.. Am dv winner with case number Af73166.i sent my documents sometime in November and received an email from kcc that they have received my documents.my question is should I write them again or what do you advice me to do
March 11, 2020 at 19:39
In a few weeks you can ask them again – but given that your number is high they are obviously more focused on lower case numbers.
March 3, 2020 at 22:14
Hi Mr Brit,
I called kcc to actually know my status and I was told the visa bulletin is at 41000 and my CN is 2020AF48*** That I should give some time for my number to be current before they wouldwknow what to tell me.
March 3, 2020 at 10:45
Please i wish to ask if fingerprints for babies are being taken when you go to the embassy?
March 3, 2020 at 19:15
I don’t know. But why does that matter??
March 2, 2020 at 15:33
Hi Mr Brit,
I resent my documents to [email protected] as you explained. This was the reply I got:
The information you provided will be forwarded to the appropriate department. In the future, please send your required documents to [email protected].
In order for the Kentucky Consular Center to assist with inquiries regarding a specific Diversity Visa (DV) case, you must provide the Principal Applicant’s full name, complete case number, and date of birth in the following format (MMDDYYYY) as entered on the original entry. Please remember that the Kentucky Consular Center does not have the authority to tell you whether or not your specific case will be disqualified. Only a consular officer can do that at the time of your visa interview. Do not send any paper documents to the Kentucky Consular Center.
My CN is 2020Af00048 ***
Pls am confused now.
1) should i resend the documents again?
2) or is it because my number is not current?
March 2, 2020 at 20:57
1. No – wait.
2. Yes.
