1. Does your number start with AS or AF?
2. We can't guide you on that since you haven't told us what your CN is.
3. Your best bet would be to apply for a re-entry permit after completing the GC process. The re-entry permit allows you to stay outside the U.S. for up to 2 years without loosing your LPR status.

Your nationality, the passport you hold or where you will be interviewing has nothing to do with your assigned region. This is based on country of birth. So is your CN AS5xxx or AF50xxx? And does it start with 2015 or 2016?

I'm afraid the game is over for you. The cut-off number for DV2015 for the AF region is 50,000 - below your assigned CN. You will not be scheduled for an interview, sorry!

The other thing is even if your CN were to become current, you would have been disqualified anyway. Your chargeability region should have been AS since you were born in UAE and not Sudan.
 
Thank you for the explanation !

Would you mind to explain what is cut-off number based on ? like how do they choose the numbers and why it is until 50,000 only?
 
Ahmed Elamin said:
For future references... Should my country of Chargeability be the same as country of birth ??
Click to expand...

Yes, it should be, unless your country of birth is not eligible in which case there are certain exceptions for charging to a spouse's or parents' country of birth (if those countries are eligible).

DV2017 registration period is around the corner, so you can give it another shot and be sure to use the correct chargeability country this time around.

if they do not reply me, what shall I do. Shall we go together without any problems?

If the US Consulate your wife will be interviewing with would not be aware that she is married and that you will be joining her for the interview as her spouse, it might be possible that you won't even be admitted into the Consulate on the day of interview. Please make sure that your wife will do everything possible to avoid a scenario like this!

You can't just show up with your wife for the interview, I don't think you will be allowed inside since your name wouldn't be on the list of the expected visitors (plus I don't think you can do the medical exam if you're not listed on the 2NL anyways). So wait about a week or two and email or call the embassy again.

So do what the email says! Write another email to KCC and be sure to include your wife, the Principal Applicant's full name (the name as shown on her selectee notification letter), complete case number, and her date of birth in the format of month, day, and year. It seems you did not include all of these information on the initial email you sent to KCC. If you don't all everything, they will not be able to provide any information like they've stated.

Sorry to say, yet this is somehow all a bit confusing. You had provided information to the effect that your wife's interview has already been scheduled with the US Consulate (not sure which one) on September 9, 2015? If this is the case, there is no reason to even bother with KCC any longer, the case is out of their hands after they submitted the file to the US Consulate your wife will be interviewing with. Your only option, at this stage of the game, therefore is for your wife to get in touch directly with the IV department of the US Consulate and to have you formally added to her case, before her interview date on September 9, 2015. At current you are not associated with her DV case in any way and the only person who can change this at this stage is your wife, as the DV lottery winner, through the US Consulate.
