@SusieQQQ , when does KCC historically send 2NL during the month ? I remember @Britsimon mentioned in a video that it comes in two batches per month , I can't find the video to check the approximate dates

I don’t follow it that closely, just know it’s sometime between the VB release and the end of the month

You can interview in a country that is not eligible, sure (we have many people interview in the UK every year for example), but in order to change location you need to have a permanent address and some form of legal residence there (work, student, etc). Depending when your case number is current you may delay the interview by changing location. I would also advise you to investigate the status of immigrant visa interviews at Dhaka given that many embassies are still operating at reduced capacity and giving priority to interviews for family of USCs. You may find it is better for you (not saying it is but it may be) to fly to Colombo for the interview rather than trying to move it.
You do understand you will have maximum 6 months to use your diversity visa, correct? Just asking as urgent relocation ahead of being issued an immigrant visa for somewhere else seems a little contradictory.

Thanks sir for your time. Actually my husband is from Bangladesh, so I am planning to move to husband s house for a year.

Hi,
I got selected for DV-2021 and my CN is AS00012XXX. It looks like my number is supposed to get an email about the interview date in May according to the Bulletin but I haven't had any. Is it delaying due to the pandemic? Has anyone received an appointment for the interview? My interview is in Japan.

I understand that, I don’t understand why you are “urgently” moving to bangladesh for a year when you are both about to get US visas.. anyway your initial question was answered.

Thanks , I found that video , looks historically they send first batch around 15/16 and second batch around end of the month , so we should really see something soon if they follow the legacy

Relax, my CN is AS5xxx, I even do not receive the document confirmation email not to mention the interview email.

I have similar situation like yours.
I applied for Police Clearance Certificate at South African Embassy last October.
Until now, they still haven't recieved back the certificate due to "current pandemic situation".
I wrote a formal letter to KCC explaining my situation and attached a receipt of my application.
Still no response though.

You are not screwd as long as you have got a receipt as it prooves that you have applied for the document at least.
I will send KCC my vetting form and history of exchanging emails with NZ police with my supporting documents.
I don't know if I even have a chance, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for your reply, I guess the pandemic is delaying the process. I hope we get the interview date soon.

We normally see one batch sent a few days after the VB and the second batch sent just before the month end. However, there is a lot that is not normal at the moment - so wait and see.

The 2NLs sent in early March can be thought of as February 2NLs.

Did you guys know about this:

(April Visa Bulletin Youtube Live)

The guy from the State Dept just said he expects all regions to go current by June?! Did I hear that correctly? Around 15 minutes in.

Hello all, I’m planning to submit my DS260 this week. Can you please tell me list of civil documents that I need to submit. Thanks in advance.

Can't seem to edit my post for some reason, but the timestamp in question is 13:50.

He actually said he expects all regional cut offs to be current no later than June, so maybe there will be exceptions for some countries.

JP has some cases scheduled, no need to worry about the pandemic delaying the process~

Hello all, I am holding dual citizenship Macedonian and Bulgarian. I plan to send the documents these days because I have not yet received an email from KCC. Since I have not lived in Bulgaria and I have Bulgarian citizenship, will I have to send a police certificate (I don't have this document at the moment) and a passport?

 

[piertoUS]

Hi everyone,

EU13xxx here.

We sent the DS-260 on the 23rd of January, received a request for documents on the 29th of January, and sent the documents on the 5th of March.
Since then, we just received the automatic confirmation from the KCC, but no "ready for scheduling email".

Is this just a matter of waiting?

We also attached with each original document a certified English translation (e.g., Document1: 1st-page original birth certificate, 2nd page certified translation of birth certificate). Would that be ok, or should have we just sent the original documents?
