We used an intermediary company, we didn't know then about the official site of DV or that this company isn't a partner of US State... This problem is very popular in our country. Only 1 out of 10 people reach the embassy interview by themselves, everyone else- due to this company...which charges a lot for their services. Our US embassy uses to send the emails with the details of the appointment. I just thought this happens everywhere...
Moldova
When we found out that we've been selected, we emailed our embassy explaining our situation. They gave us our case number, so we could proceed with our DS formular without addressing further to that company. The initial entry had all the details correct.
Knowing the situation, the US Embassy in our country sends an email to everyone who has an interview appointment scheduled by KCC, confirming the appointment and providing additional information about all the documents supposed to be presented, etc.
When is updated the information about the appointment scheduled, on XXXXXX ?
Thank you a lot for the intention, but...
No, i am not able to retrieve any details, because this company (as we found out later) created an email for us, and this email was used by them to submit our initial DV form, and then provided us an invented confirmation number (more looks like an inventory number for their business than for our case). So we have no valid information except the name of the winner and of the dependents, date of birth, etc.
That website I posted is the US Travel Documents Customer Portal, it is an official site, our embassy created an account for us, and provided us the username and password to access it. It is the way of schedulling interviews for any type of visas.
Any way, I understood- we are a strange country
Meanwhile I checked the forums in my country, it seems the embassy will send all of us an email in 1-2 weeks from now...so waiting continues
Yes, because we provided it while completing the DS260 form. In the DS form they ask for an email address, and mention that this will be the address for further correspondence (do not remember exactly how it was written). But when I try to get my confirmation number via the website you wrote using my email (at which I just received my 2NL), it does not work, because they ask for the email I provided in the initial entry- the DV form, an email address which I do not have, as I wrote previous.
Fortunately for me- no. that was our chance
That's a story for your blog
What an interesting story! If you contact KCC either by phone or email using your case number, full name, and date of birth, they'll provide you with your appointment details (i.e. Date and time). You should do that at least for now to know when your appointment is and get prepared accordingly.Thank you a lot for the intention, but...

In a country where the monthly average wage is less than 200$, paying that company 5000$ for a family is too much...
Nicola, kindly read the last 3 pages of the Kenyan thread.
My opinion. is that you strive to know how the agent filled the initials entry- ensure that they did no make fatal errors.
