This visa bulletin covers July interviews.
This is the earliest we have seen a VB released. I’m disappointed that they have not included the DV-2017 stats – they might update it in a few days….
For those that are current, and have forms processed early enough, they can expect their 2NL in about 2 (maybe 3) weeks from now. I know I am going to get a lot of people who will ask me this exact question – so let me say that again. 2NLs for JULY interviews will be sent in about two or three weeks time. They will include interviews for cases that have been made current in this latest visa bulletin AND backlog cases that were already current last month but the DS260 was submitted late.
The backlog seems to be massively reduced now so progress from now on can be largely due to new VB numbers, not backlog.
Read this link if you are unsure how to read the visa bulletin.
AFRICA – 43,825(Last month 34400)
ASIA – 10550(Last month 8000)
Except Nepal – 6725(Last month 6200)
EUROPE – CURRENT (Last month 34,000) Finally!
OCEANIA – CURRENT(Last month 1100) Finally!
SOUTH AMERICA, and the CARIBBEAN – CURRENT (Last month 1175)
Current = enough visas for the remaining demand.
GREAT NUMBERS for AF and AS regions. Super news for SA!

Hi Brit,
A couple of four family members decided to leave their two children behind and travel due to financial issues and difficulty finding a relative who can send then affidavit of support due to their family size.
Is this possible? If yes could you please briefly explain how they could go about this!
Thanks for your support.

You have to give better information than that if you want an answer. Have they interviewed yet? What exactly are you asking?

June 16, 2016 at 22:19
I have told you the truth – several times. You just choose to listen to idiots that don’t know what they are talking about – and you repeat their nonsense here.
June 16, 2016 at 16:14

Hi BritSimon,
If I don’t have an Affidavit of Support, but have a bank account statement. Will that be suffice? I can demonstrate that I have about $25k in the bank statement.
Christian
May 31, 2016 at 21:25
Look at the FAQ.
June 2, 2016 at 03:25
Yeah, it says that I only need $10k to demonstrate. So it should be enough. Thank you again!

HI SIR, A FRIEND OF MINE IS A WINNER OF DV 2016. HE GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL 2013 BUT HE DIDN’T MAKE A PASS IN THE WAEC. CAN HE SIT FOR THE WAEC THAT WILL BE ADMINSTER NEXT MONTH (JUNE). I REALLY WANNA KNOW IF THAT WON’T BE A PROBLEM AT THE INTERVIEW. HIS CN IS 2016AF00048
May 31, 2016 at 21:21
It might be a problem. it depends on the CO. However, he must have resat and passed (with documentation to prove it) before the end of the year. Until then they won’t approve him, so there is bound to be a risk.
May 30, 2016 at 09:19
Hello sir, when will the next vb bulletin will be release. I also wanna know if you are current can you change any thing on the ds260 form
May 30, 2016 at 15:45

Dear GANESH BUDHA,
You have been randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program for the fiscal year 2016 (October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016). Selection does not guarantee that you will receive a visa because the number of applicants selected is greater than the number of visas available.)
Please give me solution. Is it possible to schedule interview?
My case Number is: Below 3000

Thank you!

I edited your letter to remove your address.
You are starting the process late of course but there is time. You must submit your DS260 as soon as possible. Hopefully they will process it fast enough to get a September interview. Read my guide above top understand the process and to access a guide on how to complete the DS260.
May 26, 2016 at 17:13
BritSimon,
In the AoS package, there is a need of I-797 Notice of Action (if applicable). However, I did not receive Notice of Actions anymore (I think it is because I did transfer school, so I always maintained my F-1 visa throughout transferring schools).
Is this fine?
May 26, 2016 at 19:21
AOS questions should be directed to Mom.

Dear Mr. BritSimon,
First I do appreciate your help and taking the time to help us. In the past I asked you if there is any chance for me to get an interview since I have big number is the Asia region, and your answer was very supportive and I do thank you for this positive attitude. I am lucky that the KCC just sent me an email with the interview date in mid of July in the US embassy in Amman-Jordan.
My question is related to the sponsor form. I do not have a sponsor and I read that that I can provide a bank account statement with $10,000 that would help. So, please advice with what would be helpful for me.
Great wishes,
Amany

Hell Brit,
I have two question
I changed my nationality and I’m in the process to receive my German passport.
My Casenumber is 446**
1. Should I write KCC To unlock my DS
2. or should I bring my old passport and new passport to the interview.
They told my my new passport will arrive on the 4th or 5th June, will I still get current for an August interview if I submit it on the same day?
Is there any risk to leave my DS locked and just bring the 2 passport to the interview.
Have you ever heard about a case like mine?
What would you do?
I want to have my interview in August because I have some plans.
May 21, 2016 at 14:18
Option 2.
May 20, 2016 at 00:36
Hello Simon hoop you doing good
after my interview by six days my age Will be 26 years can I kept sing on military services forme ?

May 20, 2016 at 00:41
Then you won’t be required to do selective service – which was EXTREMELY unlikely anyway.
