Just a quick note to calm some nerves.
I have received a lot of messages from people who have been scheduled for June interviews (and possibly May interview cases also, I am not certain) who have seen that their 2NLs on the ESC site have been replaced by their 1NLs again. This is almost certainly to do with the DV2020 rollout because that same site will be the place where 20 million people will be coming to check if they are winners in the latest lottery. That draw starts today, and the database that holds to 1NLs and 2NLs will have been updated for the new cases.
So – it does not mean anything bad about your case. Hopefully the 2NLs will be replaced within a few days, but those of you with June interviews will already know that date and can arrange medicals and so on. So, no need to panic!
Now – because of DV2020 the site will be overwhelmed by people checking for the next day or so (after noon USA Eastern time zone today, May 7). So – no need to worry about that either – it is expected.
Remember – RELAX, be patient. Don’t freak out….

Hi brit! I received my 2NL which mentions beneficiaries: my husband’s name. My husband is not planning on immigrating with me he initially submit a ds260 then he unlocked it and did not resubmit it. Is that normal that his nane is still mentioned under beneficiaries? Does it mean he has to go to the interview? Should I email the embassy to inform them he is not immigrating with me therefore not attending the interview? Many thanks for tour help.
May 24, 2019 at 03:43
He does not have to attend the interview.
May 25, 2019 at 01:53
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
May 14, 2019 at 01:50
Hi brit, Looks like my interview will be scheduled in Aug/Sept and if I’ll be selected, my intended travel date will be in Nov/Dec-2019. My kids passports will be expired in Jan/2020. Do I need to make and bring new passports (kids) for the interview (kid’s passports cannot be extended)? Y
May 14, 2019 at 02:35
Yes
May 12, 2019 at 06:38
They also confirm that I have sent a valid DS260 allthis info in one mail sent to me on the 19th by KCC so please I don’t understand why I have not received 2NL till now when I AF36 already received 2NL and am AF39
May 12, 2019 at 13:26
You caused your own delay.
May 12, 2019 at 16:04
Hi brit,
Please I don’t undertand your reply here. Why did she cause the delay?
Since the round off CN for June is 37200 I don’t understand how she could have received the 2NL by now. 2Nl for july would be sent starting from May 15th right?
By the way, I’m also 2019AF39XXX ,I sent the documents around April 18 but received nothing as a confirmation from KCC, they said I should allow several weeks for processing.
May 12, 2019 at 16:16
Mid April for submitting documents will be OK in some cases, for others there will be a delay.
May 12, 2019 at 06:29
Yes I sen my documents since on the 18th of April and I received a confirmation , that I have provided all required documentation .
May 12, 2019 at 13:20
OK – so then there is NO WAY they could have scheduled you earlier than now. Patience.
May 12, 2019 at 04:11
Hi Brit,
Thanks for the updates . I have not received any appointment letter or 2NL since my Case No AF 39XXX ,could there be a problem ?
May 12, 2019 at 05:50
Have you sent documents?
May 13, 2019 at 15:23
You will be current next bulletin
May 14, 2019 at 07:19
Hopefully tomorrow is the 15th for July interviews.
Let’s hope the VB will increase
May 10, 2019 at 15:53
Hi Brit,
Yesterday we’ve participated for the final interview with our baby. After the interview, CO said we will be informed when the visa is ready.
Thank you very much Brit. Your website was really helped me a lot. There is no doubt that the britsimonsays.com is the best resource in this subject.
Cheers

May 2NL not yet back and my interview in few days ( 4 days ) , sadly I print it once to complete the medical examination . now for my interview day I don’t have a copy .
I know I should relax and wait but my Question is what I have to do if until before one day from our interview didn’t come back the 2NL ,
I am thinking to go back were I did the medical and ask them to pull out the file and give me a copy from the 2NL 🙁 🙁
May 9, 2019 at 10:12
Call them and ask them to email you a copy, if possible.
May 9, 2019 at 11:48
Worrying over nothing. You just print the 1NL and move on.
May 9, 2019 at 13:02
Thank you brit.
I hope to pass the interview we are nervous . Keep you posted .
May 9, 2019 at 04:43
June 2NL is back..i got mine again
May 9, 2019 at 04:46
Great!
May 9, 2019 at 21:32
Heyy.. I’m from Ethiopia too. My 2nl is never back until now. I haven’t printed it and I couldn’t go to the medical check up. So, I want to know if there is a possibility of the 2nl coming back and then disappear again in time(u may recheck it and confirm me if it’s still there).
I’ll have to hunt my 2nl and print it out before it gets disappeared.
Thanks,
May 9, 2019 at 23:23
Possibly. Store it now.

Thank you so much Simon
Love you buddy
I was really nervous that why i did not print the 2nl.
May 7, 2019 at 15:20
Dear Simon,
We also encountered this issue as we are appointed for interview in June. Can you explain a little more how do you think it is connected to this years draw? I don’t quite understand this part: “That draw starts today, and the database that holds to 1NLs and 2NLs will have been updated for the new cases.”
Thanks in advance.
May 7, 2019 at 15:50
It is self explanatory, but if you don’t understand, just wait patiently for the 2NLs to be restored.
May 7, 2019 at 13:25
Wow! I am amazed by the clock. I can’t imagine how hot the site will be after the countdown. Thank you Brit
May 7, 2019 at 15:43
The site will break.
May 7, 2019 at 11:25
Thank you Brit for the inforamtion provided, we will wait to check by 5pm Liberian time, which will be 12 noon in the United States of America.
May 7, 2019 at 11:30
Countdown clock is here:

May 7, 2019 at 10:38
My 2NL is also removed and i didn’t print it yet. But what really worries me is that the status on ceac website is still in transit, is it normal? I read here that usually it is for very short time. It’s must be in Cairo embassy while my region is EU, not AF. can it be the reason? or can the embassy reschedule the interview or cancel it after it is set? really not sure what to expect from this year’s DV process.thanks in advance for all your support and help.
May 7, 2019 at 10:38
Relax!
May 7, 2019 at 10:36
Thanks for brit’s Buick note.
May 7, 2019 at 10:16
Sir,
You said the draw starts today, does that mean they will start it today and finish it today or the draw has been done and the results will be relaese today at once?
I am bit confused
May 7, 2019 at 10:20
The draw has been done. People can check starting today.
May 7, 2019 at 10:22
Results today. So, everyone and their dog will be checking to see if they are selected.
