DV 2020 All Selectees

Hi everyone!
My situation: EU32XXX; DS260 with new questions sent & processed; Documents sent 3 times: first time in November; second time in February (just to make sure they received them) and the third time on March 25th after I was told by KCC on the phone that they still didn't receive them. Followed up a few days later and just then they told me that they can't view the documents anyway until the case will go current...
I have never received any e-mail regarding my document processing status (complete or incomplete or whatever), just the automatic reply from KCCdvdocuments and KCCDV informing me that the documents were forwarded to the appropriate department (I sent my docs to both e-mail addresses to be extra sure that they got them).
I called yesterday KCC again and the documents still haven't been processed...
Q: What should I do ? Just wait and chill ? Should I call them every week to check up on this ? Is there any way to speed this up ? Does anyone know if they process the docs based on CN or all at once now since we're all current ?

Check the email address well
 
I did. I followed all indications, provided certified translations, used the naming convention required, etc. Anyone else in this situation ?
Maybe an obvious question, but when you spoke to KCC and they told you the documents still hadn’t been processed, did you ask them why?

I did but I did't get any clear answer beside "Sir please allow some more time for your documents to be processed". They didn't tell me how much time should I expect to be necessary for this so I said I'll call them back...
I obviously want to be ready for scheduling when the embassies open up and hopefully this EO situation gets somehow solved.
Should I worry? What should I do ? Sending the documents the fourth time seems counter-intuitive... I have no idea how KCC operates so I fear that I might have triggered a new document analysis for my case when I sent them the third time... Are you or anyone else aware of any similar situations ?

“Allow more time” is different from “there’s something wrong with what you sent us”. It also helps us answer your original question of whether or not you should just wait....that’s precisely what they told you to do.

PS and yes, every time someone sends them another email they have to open, read and decide what to do with, it uses up time and slows everything down for everyone. Imagine say just a fraction of selectees, say 10000 people, all sending second, third and fourth emails of the same thing...

Yes, absolutely. Nobody implied that something was wrong with my case. I would have never sent the docs the third time if they wouldn't have told me that they don't have them, only to correct themselves a couple of days later when they said that they can't view the documents anyway until the case will go current...
Ok then... I'll wait, call back next week(s) and update you guys on this...
If anyone has a similar situation please share. I'm really curious to know if this is a common situation or not.
 
People all calling unnecessarily also adds to the time taken away from what they can actually spend processing documents. Let’s say a thousand people call just for an update on their case and each spend 30 seconds on the line (unlikely to be shorter once you give them details etc). That’s a full day spent just dealing with unproductive calls.

Most people , including myself , got the same answer you received when we asked about our documents these days . I called them on Friday after the VB was published , a lady told me that she can see that my DS260 is complete but she doesn't have access to my documents . I then sent an email later to KCCDV , and today I got the same email as yours . So maybe it's better if we can give them sometime until the decide to send confirmation emails . Hopefully that will be soon
 
I think that if no one will block this EO, Trump’s intention will be to extend until the end of his electoral campaign. And if he will win the election this suspension will not finish soon

They told me the same via email.

"Your DS-260 has been processed. You should have received, or will soon receive, an email from the Kentucky Consular Center giving you instructions to complete in order for your case to continue processing. Please follow the instructions in the email. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing. "

What are those farther instructions?
 
I’ve read yes
Thank you! Also yes, sorry for the late reply, I'm Italian!
Looks like the blonde may take action in the next weeks who knows:

Q Mr. President, opening up the country, how long will you keep up the travel restrictions for Europe?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re looking at that, and it depends on how long it’s taken Europe to heal. Italy is starting to make a comeback. I’m very happy to see that, with my friend, the Prime Minister. He’s — it’s tragic what went on in Italy and Spain and France and Germany, frankly, and every — every country over there. It’s tragic. But we’ll be looking at what’s happening in Europe. And certainly, we want to do that and they want to do it too. They want to do it very badly.

Probably you will receive an email with the instructions in a few days . That's what I understood

Who is? Trump?

Good to know, thanks for the info.
Ok, I'll chill in the meanwhile and follow up with KCC in a couple of weeks (if still no "documents processed" mail confirmation, obviously).
Good luck to all of us !
