For those that just received their 2NL - submission date survey

Lots of people are keen to see whether the DS260 processing has sped up yet. So far they have gone "month for month" on when the DS260 was submitted. It would be helpful to gather some info of the DS260 submission date in the following format. This first one is a real one so I am particularly keen to see cases like this that have been current for a while but only submitted "late". These are the type of cases that will be most telling.

So - if you just received your 2NL - please reply to this thread with info in this format.

Hey Simon.
Maybe this will help:

In our forum all people who sent their DS-260 in September and one who sent his in 1st of Oct received their 2NLs. But we've got a user who sent his DS-260 in 6th of October and don't receive his 2NL yet.
It seems that ds-260 processing time doesn't improve at all, and 2-3 days improvement is due to delays in sending 2NLs in this month. And as you mentioned since in May new winners will receive their first letters, there are actually 2 months left for KCC to catch up the pace which seams impossible.

Unfortunately true, no improvement in speed. Probably, the next month's 2ndls will be until last october as well. With 3/11 submission date it's so sad news.
 
Well, the latest I gave seen here or any other forum so far is the October 5 one I posted above. I have also seen some September ones not get their 2nl. Really, I am surprised. I really expected some mid October cases at least. If they don't improve, then my warning to get DS260s in ASAP is going to be very accurate - which would suck!

Britsimon, what do you mean by "get DS260s in ASAP"?

It means any DV selectee who hasn't submitted their DS-260 (and who hopes to be scheduled for an interview) should fill and submit the form right away.

Thanks, Sm1smom!
As I understand all the regions are affected by the slow processing. Then, my question is why all the regions' VB speed is slower than EU's speed? Does this imply that the regions with slower VB progress submitted they ds-26- mostly in time?

The 2NL for AOS is different - it is simply an acceptance/recognition from KCC of the case for AOS, not an appointment notification.
