DV 2020 All Selectees

and thats why the next 10 days are crucial:
firsly for the group of people who got their 2NL and had an appointment booked before embassies were closed due to the pandemic, and who shall be re-scheduled once embassies reopen.
secondly for the group of people who had their documents processed successfully though haven’t received their 2NL yet, and thirdly for the large group of people who became current however haven’t received the document confirmation email from KCC.
in principle (and incase embassies are reopen in June and the ban isn’t extended) it seems to me that the 1st and 2nd group shall have their interviews after the ban is over (during the last week of june) and during July.
and the 3rd group shall not be interviewed before august, unless they receive the confirmation email from kcc before the next VB.
i hope the best of luck for all of us during the next few days/weeks .. a tight period but i am optimistic.

Why you think the next 10 days are critical? why not the next 20 days? is there any event that will happen in the next 10 days that I'm missing?
I'm in the 2nd group
Most of people think Trump will extend his executive order for additional 30 days and probably more, we will see

Vb will be issued by 15th (10 days from now) then 2NLs shall be sent to ppl in the 1st and 2nd group during the 2nd half of the month, lets hope embassies have a plan to open by june/july so u can get ur 2NL and an appointment date before end of this month.
for the 3rd group “which i belong to” we need to get our documents proceed before vb (within 10 days) so we get a chance for an appointment in july otherwise our interviews shall be held in august.
 
Could you please post here in anyone form EU with high numbers like 35K+ receive "documents ready" email these days?

I have received this answer from my embassy after I sent them an email to ask what they have intention to do during these 60 days of ban. This is their email:

the U.S. Consulates General in Naples, Italy has suspended routine immigrant visa appointments. We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. Diversity Visas (DV) are considered routine immigrant visas. DVs are also suspect to the Presidential Proclamations of March 11 and April 22, 2020. The DV-2020 program ends on September 30, 2020. There will be no extension of this date. Please monitor our website in the future for more information.

Is that mean that they will not anything during these 60 days? Thanks

Their answer relates to the embassy closure not to the 60 days EO. If there was no EO they would have answered the same

Yes, but they mentioned also “DVs are also suspend to the Presidential Proclamations of March 11 and April 22, 2020”. Is this mean nothing?

Of course... no visa appointments or to be issued until the ban expires. Let's hope well. Especially those who got the visa expired or due to because if the answer will be "you had enough time to travel or arrange solution" which would mean stay in belarus or ethiopia and flight maybe 60hs with everything happening around the world is crazy.
Those are the same employees that by the end of march told me " there are still flights from the uk why don't you go?" so a lawyer may help in the near future ( not for your specific case maybe )

Alao for those in my situation I tried to reach the embassy in Belarus and beside the fact that the situation is going quite bad day after day over there, it still possible to stay 14 days and attempt entry in the US:

You can enter the U.S. on your immigrant visa (if you have a valid immigrant visa on hand) provided
1. You can show that you have not been to China, a Schengen Treaty country, Iran, Great Britain and Northern Ireland 14 before your flight to the U.S., and
2. Your route to the U.S. is not going through one of those countries (you are not changing planes in one of those countries).

Another option would be Ethiopia

Our embassy said the same thing. That due to the ban, they are not scheduling DV interviews at least until June 23rd. I'm from Romania. I hope the EO will be suspended in court, otherwise I don't think we will have the interview until September 30th.

I don’t understand why others embassies, as Cambodia’s embassy, started again to do interviews and others, like mine or yours, not. What the hell?

Because Cambodia like Georgia were not hit by the Coronavirus like Italy, it depends on the local situation

They will schedule no matter what the EO does. If they interview you and the ban gets extended after June 23 for another 60 days we’re somewhere in August, the moment the ban is lifted they can approve everyone so I think there’s still a decent chance. Patience.
