OK – I have just updated the latest CEAC file post to reflect my finding that the CEAC data updates are frozen as of June 9.
For CEAC that means that there may have been no or very limited updates to the status of the cases since June 9. Our numbers are understated and people anxiously watching CEAC for updates will continue to wait.
Embassies have continued with interviews – processing seems to have been unaffected, although sooner or later they would cancel interviews if they felt that was justified. THey would most likely cancel visitors visas rather than DV cases. BUT there will be delays to cases that are approved, since getting the printed visa depends on the consolidated system.
US DoS have posted this update.
I will post again with further updates.
Systems issue impacting CEAC and visa issuances

Thanks britsimon,but will all these technical problems affect people waiting 2nl for August interviews?
June 17, 2015 at 06:22
Hi Brit. Cause no dv. Visa can be issued after Sept 30, will they still be able to issue visas to everyone whose current,
June 17, 2015 at 14:07
Approving the visa is the important part. Printing it can be done after September 30.
June 17, 2015 at 20:20
Thanks BritSimon for your reassurance I have approved at the interview but still waiting for the visa, I keep hearing from many that there is no issuance for lottery visa after 20 Sep so issuing is different from printing?
June 17, 2015 at 20:29
Yes.
June 17, 2015 at 09:13
Since last year, I beleive this is the third time that such thing happens. Oh, America !!!
June 17, 2015 at 09:17
Dear Sir,
I have noticed that someone had called KCC to get the DV2014 July VB before officially published.
Do you think it’s possible to know the DV2015 final VB before 7/10?
June 17, 2015 at 13:45
I used to call KCC and several times I got the VB numbers a few hours sometimes even a day or two early. However it is not guaranteed.
June 17, 2015 at 14:30
hi brit first off thank you for the great work, my visa approved last week and i know that the kcc are not issuing visa at this time due to some technical problems but my case status in the ceac updated into ready in june 11 but the system got off line in june 9, is this normal ?
June 17, 2015 at 14:50
Ready is the status before issued – so although there is an update it does not sound like a status change.
June 17, 2015 at 15:11
Thanks britsimon,but will all these technical problems affect people waiting 2nl for August interviews?
as leslo said
June 17, 2015 at 17:09
As I replied to Leslo – I don’t think so.
June 17, 2015 at 18:27
what do you think for the cu-off ? sir
June 17, 2015 at 19:20
I have not predicted the final numbers precisely and probably will not.
June 17, 2015 at 19:56
why you will not sir , they have ani problem ? or we will be choc when wee the cut-off ? we beleive in your calcul siir
June 17, 2015 at 20:27
IT is precisely BECAUSE you believe that I don’t want to predict. At the end of the day, my predictions are only that – predictions. IN a normal month, there is hope that if I am correct, a later month will see someone current. THe stakes are higher for the final VB. If you are out, that’s it – you are done – so I don’t want to be the person to deliver that news – especially since I could be mistaken.
June 17, 2015 at 20:14
Hi Mr Simon, what do you think for AS99xx?
June 17, 2015 at 20:28
still has a chance…
June 17, 2015 at 20:50
what do u think about AS201500011090,do i have a chance ?
what’s your brain tell you?
June 17, 2015 at 21:05
My brain says I cannot be sure – so wait and see…
June 18, 2015 at 08:54
Greeting BritSimon,just read this system problem and am getting nervous.i will be current in the upcoming bulletin for a September interview.just hope this system problem will not ruin my chances of getting a visa.
June 18, 2015 at 13:52
I hope it will be resolved soon!
June 18, 2015 at 09:17
do u think AS 771X safe and 2NL probably in first of september
June 18, 2015 at 13:48
As long as you are not from Nepal, yes.
June 18, 2015 at 14:23
no im from yemen
June 19, 2015 at 07:43
it could be possible that some of visas are issued but in the CEAC data not showing “Issued” ?
June 19, 2015 at 14:23
That is certain.
June 19, 2015 at 11:05
SIMON, YOU DON’T THINK AF WILL BE CURRENT DUE TO THE PROBLEM FACE BY KCC SINCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO PREDICT THE FINAL VB? WHY THERE WAS NO UPDATE FOR ONE OF THE MONTH IN THE 2015 PROGRAM?
June 19, 2015 at 14:17
AF won’t be current, but that has nothing to do with the technical issue that started a few days ago.
June 19, 2015 at 11:14
SIMON, THE 9000 BAL. VISA YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, INCLUDE THE REFUSE VISA? IF SO WHAT HOPE DO PEOPLE IN HIGHER # HAVE FOR THIS AF2015 PROGRAM HAVE?
June 19, 2015 at 14:15
Some people will miss out – that is for sure.
June 19, 2015 at 15:31
Enter your comment here…is there any chance of cn 7275 of nepal?
June 19, 2015 at 17:56
“wait and see”
June 20, 2015 at 15:31
Do you think as87xx will be current next month Mr. Simon?
June 20, 2015 at 15:53
Probably – assuming that is not Nepal.
June 20, 2015 at 16:20
Am from ROA, does probably mean just a chance or pretty safe you think

Hi , do you thing the system issue will affect or reduce the final visa bulleton cut off
June 21, 2015 at 15:14
No.
June 23, 2015 at 15:50
Hi britt!!
For example im current …also it is not 100% sure to receive 2nl?
Does this happen?
June 23, 2015 at 17:14
If someone has not completed their DS260, then yes. Otherwise, no.
June 24, 2015 at 06:48
Don’t say wait & see,Brit sir. Is there a little or more chance to get second letter upto cn 7260 for Nepal?
June 24, 2015 at 16:25
I can’t say anything – because you don’t want me to say the only words I can say….
June 25, 2015 at 14:33
Visa Bulletin for Dv2016 -month of October should we expect it from August 10th.
June 25, 2015 at 14:38
Around then, yes.
