The US Embassy in Bucharest

This was probably answered, but I can't seem to find the answer. 1) Is KCC operating at the moment? 2) I'm very late to the party as I had a huge number and didn't want to submit my DS260 early. If I submitted it about 2 weeks ago, will it be processed at all before all of the COVID restrictions are lifted? or highly unlikely?
Don’t wait any longer and submit the ds-260. Kcc is working and you still have some time but don’t wait any longer.

Could someone please confirm the following:
Following the submission of DS-260, the applicant should submit (1) Birth Certificate (2)Police Certificate (3)Marriage Certificate and (4) Photocopy of a passport to KCC's email? Am I missing anything?

Thank you so much!
Should be embassy to delete scheduled appointments, not KCC. It looks strange.

The EO has honestly nothing to do with any statistic, it's a pure whim of Mr. T who's been waiting to do it since he started his job. I honestly think the ban would be extended even if unemployment rate dropped down to 0%, for as long as he can. Not optimistic, I know, just realistic.Guys, April unemployment rate is released which was increased from 4.4% (march) 14.7% (April). this is a good reason to extend the EO by some months by the president.please share your thoughts
I agree with you, this is similar to the Muslim ban where he said this decision will be revisited every 60 days and nothing happened in contrast to that he added more countries to the ban!!
I am not able to read the full article because it is needed to subscribe. What it says?

Yeah it was known that after 30 days they would review the temporary visas as well and probably ban them too, nothing unexpected. This actually might be good for us as it extends the number of people affected dramtically so far more chance for a challenge in court (right now DV is practically the only category affected and no one honestly cares about DV unfortunately...)
It’s familybased as well, which is a big amount of people too. I’m sure this will be challenged in court. The only reason AILA failed is due to the fact that they put it on top of the healthcare requirement case. The content itself was fine except that they need to run a complete separate case for the immigration ban and leave the healthcare stuff alone. AILA was the first case and it’s not going to be the only one. The only thing we can do is wait.

This is only partially correct. The official reason for denying the restraining order was indeed that they tried to piggyback the previous EO, but the judge also said that because those family based applicants just switch category from F1A to F2A after they turn 21, then there is no real "loss" of their chance, they would just have to wait a ridicolous amount of time (which he also claimed is the congress' problem, not his). Furthermore, if you read their case carefully, you would see that what they ask is for those people to be able to request an emergency appointment at the embassy, and not banning the EO altogether. Anyhow, none of this is even remotely related to DV so I wouldn't count on AILA etc. to solve the problem (they're also showing no sign of filing another lawsuit anytime soon, much less for DV)
