Hope you satisfied your ego with your attack. Simon, through point 1 and 2 you are trying to tell me I may be incompetent in asking questions. And via your opening statement, you may also propose you are an expert in asking questions, and are in a position to judge others, like me.
I sourced my point, you didn't. And, besides all what KCC says, what other way would we possibly have to receive information? It's not a hack down there which you want to decipher.
I am providing sourced information on an open forum. You want to believe otherwise, it's your wish. Enjoy your evening.
After the proclamation, I spoke to the KCC three times, and the USCIS, a few days ago, and I received different answers, including 2 KCC calls where, as with you, I was explicitly told things, which, according to the third call to the KCC, the call to the USCIS, this forum, and an action by the USCIS yesterday, turned out to be incorrect. The call center staff do not understand the weight of their words, and I definitely felt their rush to get me off the phone. On the last KCC call, the representative confirmed that they are very much still working on the cases, but not scheduling consular interviews.
I also note that Simon didn't address you personally, in points one and two, but tried to offer an explanation for why there is an information chasm, when people call the KCC for information. I'm not here for his ego, but I have been gathering data for my DV application for over one year now, and what is obvious, is that Simon, and his BritSimonSays blog is the eminent source of information about the DV process, on the internet. So yes, he is as close to an "expert" we have, in asking questions about the process.
And before you take this as an attack, too- it's not; just providing my experience, on an open forum
