So – the new visa bulletin was released today (unusually early) and it is really quite odd because the numbers are identical to the previous bulletin numbers for October interviews. No change to any of the regions or countries.
Now, it is possible that this is deliberate and accurate, but I am going to wait a day or two before assuming this is correct. It looks like a mistake to me – that someone published a draft version of the VB without all the edits.
Now, it is possible that the numbers stay the same for a region or couple of regions, but it is very odd that NONE of the numbers have changed. However, I have explained in a video why this could be happening, and why we should not make estimates based on 1 or 2 VBs.
To understand better, please go and watch the first few minutes of this video.

November 20, 2022 at 10:10
No – just need more patience.
October 10, 2022 at 13:27
Hi Brits,
Hope you doing well. I’d like to know when and where can you check your status after filling the ds-260.
Kind regards
October 22, 2022 at 15:40
You can email KCC, but don’t waste their time if your case number is not very low.
October 5, 2022 at 16:01
Hi Brit, I’ve sent ds260 at beginning of august and my number is 2023EU1***, I still haven’t got 2nls, do you when I can expect? Is there any time frame in month when KCC usually send 2nl? Its oct and I’m current for oct but still no 2nl?
October 6, 2022 at 18:14
You are delayed because you delayed sending your DS260. However, that doesn’t matter, once your DS is processed, you will be scheduled. THat might be a month or two from now before your DS is processed.
September 20, 2022 at 12:50
My case number is EU29XX, I submitted the DS260 late (on september 10th). Still didn’t receive any notification my form was processed or 2NL is it possible I missed my chance and will not get an interview because I submitted the form too late?
September 24, 2022 at 18:41
You will be scheduled once your DS260 has been processed.
September 19, 2022 at 14:00
2023AF14XX and haven’t received 2nl yet. Morever DS260 isn’t processed yet.
any idea when 2nls are sent?
September 24, 2022 at 18:38
They are only sent to cases that have completed DS260 processing and are current.
September 18, 2022 at 23:45
When do I fill in my I-134 form after the submission of my DS260?
September 24, 2022 at 18:28
Once you receive the 2NL (interview schedule)

Hi brits i was selected for dv2020 which is still waiting for the court case and my case was Af70k bt now i was selected for dv 2023 and my case is AF31K.is this a high case number or a low one.thank you.
September 24, 2022 at 15:19

September 26, 2022 at 08:58
My case no is 39k.
September 26, 2022 at 14:51
You have a long wait ahead.
September 11, 2022 at 23:15
my case number is AF53k already received my 2NL, am i good to apply or should i wait?
September 12, 2022 at 03:24
If you are DV2023 you have not received the 2NL – that is the interview schedule.
You may as well apply for DV2024, it won’t affect DV2023 in any way.
September 26, 2022 at 08:56

Great. Certainly are strong signs that they are processing DS260s well.
September 9, 2022 at 21:00
Hi sir
Since the VB is out for October
My case had been current in the last VB, still haven’t received 2NL. As per KCC email last month, they have stated my case had been processed and adviced that i will soon receive and email notification.
Its almost 2 weeks now, havent got any email. Any reason for that

Just be patient – you’ll get the 2NL for November interview pretty soon.

In my i-134 form, my sponsor checked the box “I do not intend” to make a specific contribution to the support of the beneficiary.
He tells me that this has no negative impact on the visa. He said that he would check this box only if he decided to give a sum of money to the beneficiary at the end of each month.
What do you think about this issue?
September 9, 2022 at 22:47
He is correct. THat would be a SPECIFIC contribution.
September 8, 2022 at 06:05
Hey Brit,
I saw that too, and found it odd. But then, I looked at the “September” VB, and all the regions are current, and it says that it is for DV 2022. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my guess would be that they changed the months, (August became September and September became October), but the VB stayed the same as the original month: Therefore, September has the August data, and October has the September data. Moreover, I suppose that the VB for November interview hasn’t been published yet, they just changed the formulation, where October VB is for October interviews, and November VB will be for November interviews. That’s my guess, tell me what you think about it.
September 9, 2022 at 22:46
You’re guessing that they changed the month that the VB refers to? No that is not correct.
September 8, 2022 at 06:00
Hi Brit.
Can you explaine me how is ds-260 beeing processed? My CN is EU21xxx, and I submitted my ds-260 on may 13. How and when will I know that my ds-260 is processed? I know that I will not be current untill spring next year, so I was wondering what’s the point on instructions to fill out ds-260 asap after you’ve been selected if the CN is all there is about?
September 9, 2022 at 22:44
First in First Opened. But DS260s don’t all get processed in the same time. Case number will be more important this year.
September 20, 2022 at 14:56
Hello Brit. Thank you for all you’re doing. Here is my concern I passed my interview on August 3,2022.on August 4, the CO asked me a documentation about a name change I did in 2015, so on August 18, I brought the document to the consulate and since then my case is on “ready” and got its last update on September 1, what can I expect for this ?
September 24, 2022 at 18:42
I can’t predict the outcome, but the fact that the case moved into another month meant that the visa allocated to your case was returned to the pool. So – you have to now get cleared through AP and be reallocated a visa – meaning your risk increased.
