For Unlocking:Most people have reported their forms being Unlocked within 2 days.I said there is no definite maximum time as mine took 2 months.(Just search the word unlocking) and you will be able to get some insights.
In summary: I filled and submitted my ds 260 form on 19th may 2014,however i submitted the other (family) ds 260 in July 21. which automatically postpone my 2nl to November instead of October.My Interview is slated for November 4th (did my medicals today) Nairobi.

Now the details: Wanted to be extra
careful so I had to set double alarm
last night and then went to bed.
Before going to bed, I checked my
documents to make sure everything
was intact. Around 3:45am my eyes
opened (natural instinct I guess lol)
couldn't go back to sleep again so
had to watch Aljazeera news to
keep myself occupied. Exactly 5:30 I
bordered a taxi cab. Got to the
Embassy some few minutes after
6am. Meet a couple of people
waiting around the embassy. At
7am the gate was opened. We were
ordered to form 2 separate queues,
one for immigrants the other for
non-immigrants. I joined the
immigrants queue and then we
went through security checks. Our
bags were scanned and mobile
phones, laptops, usb were left at the
security. We finally went through
and into the main hall. Soon my
name was called and my documents
were taken at Window 1. I was then
ordered to go do my payment at the
cashier. I paid $330 and took the
receipt back to Window 1. Then the
waiting began. I waited for about 30
mins. While waiting I met a lovely
lady who was also on DV lottery (we
were too far apart to have any
meaningful convo. Soon my name
was mentioned and I walked over
to Window 5. A lovely American CO
greeted me with smiles. I smiled
back (keep a smile)
Now the Main interview:
CO: Good Morning
Me:Good Morning
CO:εti sεn (How are you)
Me: εγε οο na wonso εεh (I'm good
and You
CO: εγε (I'm good)
Me: Smiling...
CO: Pls raise your right hand and
swear to speak the truth and
nothing but the truth
Me: I did that
CO: Which year did you finished
High School
Me: Answered
CO: How many times did you sat for
SSCE/WASSCE
Me: Answered
CO: And these are your results?
Me: Yea
CO: What did you do after school?
Me: Started explaining
CO: Go straight to the point
Me: Told him where I work now
At this point he was busily typing
on his computer
CO: Smiling.. Congratulations your
visa has been approved
Me: Smiling too, thank you
CO: It wasn't difficult was it ?
Me:.No it wasn't (matter of fact it
wasn't?
The main interview lasted less than
2 minutes. The CO told me he will
keep my documents and passport
and issued me with the super blue
paper with the collection date on.
He even apologized for the
interview delay.
I know It's a lengthy stuff I've
written pls pardon me. Just want
everyone to have the interview
experience from A - Z.. pls ignored
all my typos.

congratulations!!!!

Thank you so much. It's great job. You dedicated your time to help.
But, did the November cases received 2NL?
I wonder why cases below 2,000 were not assigned for December interview while the cut off was 7,000.

Good idea, but it will be hard to maintain. Start a google spreadsheet and everyone can maintain their details there.

Yes good idea, but badly executed. Like moderator Simon said, create a spreadsheet and capture the information on it, then post the link to the spreadsheet in the forum and people can update their information as need be.

YES THEY have RECIVED 2ND NL


WHEN a month is written in bold and italic it means the appointment is confirmed !

Do a Google search on how to create spreadsheets, you will get a step by step explanation of what to do.

hi ZGREAT I confused about some words like "current" "VB" "cut-off" what does it mean in the context of dv case ?
Click to expand...

CUT OFF - is the upper limit of case numbers which will be interviewed for a given month. For example, the cut off for Ethiopia for the month of December is 9,000. It means, the case numbers which will be interviewed on December in Ethiopia should be below AF0009000.

CURRENT- a given case number is called to be current for a given month if it falls below the cut off for that month. For example, a case number AF8500 is called current for the month of December because it falls below 9,000. (for Ethiopia)

VB (visa bulletin) - is a monthly bulletin which announces the cut off for a given month.

here is the post by the founder of these thread Mr ormania
1) Visa Bulletin (VB)
Visa Bulletin is a publication regarding
immigration to the United States published by the
United States Department of State. The primary
purpose of this bulletin is to provide an updated
waiting list (also known as Priority Date) for
immigrants that are subject to the quota
system.The content of the bulletin is available on
the web address http://travel.state.gov/content/
visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html
2) Current
We say current when visa numbers are available
for a specific qualified applicant. Visa numbers are
available only for applicants whose priority date is
earlier than the cut-off date listed in the tables
3) 1st NL and 2nd NL
First NL (1st NL) is the First Notification Letter that
you received explaining that you are a winner.
While the Second NL (2nd NL) is the Second
Notification Letter that the Kentucky Consular
Center send to your email describing your date,
time and place of interview.
4) C.O
Is the Consular Officer who will conduct your
interview in the embassy when you go for the
interview.
5) P.O.E
Is the Port of Entry. It is the first entry point where
you enter the United States of America after your
entry is approved by the US Immigration officers.
