The visa bulletin has just been released, showing fairly small movement in each region. As I have already explained many of the interview slots are being taken by cases already current – and we have some high performing embassies that probably won’t be able to reach even the case numbers that just became current.
Those that are current, and have forms processed early enough, can normally expect their 2NL in the next 2 to 3 weeks from now. This is supposed to be the same every month. VB from the 8th to the 15th of each month, and 2NLs in the second half of the month. For the last few months there have been 2NLs in daily batches, but we seem to be moving to a more normal procedure where almost all the 2NLs are sent before the end of the month, with just a handful being sent earlier this month. I would normally expect all the interview 2NLs to have all been sent by the end of this month, but we can see recently they are exceeding that to try and get as many interviews in as possible. They can be sent right up until the last day of the month, and even the first few days of the following month during exceptional times.
To those new to looking at VBs, let me explain what the “except” XXX country means – and you can also read this post on how to read the visa bulletin.

Hi Brit? I asked a question during your live session but I did not indicate the Embassy. I wanted to find out when I should expect my 2NL. My case number is AF35K from Zambia, Lusaka Embassy. I have been current but no 2NL yet. Thanks

I am based in Jordan, but Asia is moving very slowly and it will never hit my case number before the end of the fiscal year. My question is: Can I move my case to Europe for example and have the interview over there through a visit visa?

It doesn’t matter where in the world you are, your case will only become current according to the Asia VB number.

Hello Mr. Brit,
1) is it normal that Beirut Embassy has only 1 case issued till now as per xarthisius site ?
2) What does it mean to have NVC next to my case number in the ceac data in the xarthisius site. Is it that KCC still didn’t process my DS260 ?
Thank you 😉

1. No. It is an obvious sign of a dysfunctional embassy.
2. It means you are not scheduled yet. It does not indicate whether or not your DS260 is processed.

I’m based in cameroon my case number is 46k after consulting the entrants status check I saw that my case is currently at Yaoundé that’s where the embassy is located. When should I expect the second notification letter?
April 15, 2024 at 16:32
The letter shown on the ESC page is the 2NL.
