DV 2020 All Selectees

Immigration should be his last concern in this situation indeed. Also although unemployment is still high the weekly claims have been decreasing for the past several weeks and stock markets going up gradually, it seems like there’s still a pretty good chance. As long as the embassy’s open.

It's basically the same lawsuit with a different costume. It's completely irrelevant to DV unless they block this order altogether which seems highly unlikely given it's only temporary, for now. And even if the ban is removed tomorrow, embassies are still closed so it's of no real value.

as much as I dislike trump and his bans, it doesn't give me much hope when lawyers get the facts wrong, even if it’s for hyperbole (presumably) rather than actual ignorance of what’s going on.
it is just not true that “families are unable to reunite for decades” because of the ban. The ban has added a couple of months onto the 1-2 decade backlog caused by annual quotas.

To the best of my knowledge, no. And they won't send them either, until embassies re-open.

Exactly, and this is why in the previous lawsuit judge Simon said that these waiting times are unfortunate but it's the responsibilty of the Congress to fix it, not his.

My case number is AS23*** and i am yet to receive the confirmation email and I haven’t heard of anyone who got his documents processed since March (except Avion).
the idea of waiting the embassies to reopen before sending confirmation emails is quite frustrating(If its true), i can understand that issuing 2NLs is directly related to embassies reopening, but processing documents has nothing to do with embassies.

I agree, but bear in mind they may be still processing them, just not sending confirmations until they have news from the embassies... Don't ask me why, KCC logic...

seriously? these advocates don’t know? They can’t take two seconds to bother to look up the statistics, and find that on average the annual number of “immigrants children 21 and older” (in other words, F2B) is 22-23k, with a spike to 26k in 2018? If these are the lawyers fighting the case, sorry but there seems little hope if they can’t even do the most basic research on this.
(The total number of visas affected by the ban has averaged somewhere around 300k per year, so I guess that is where the total 50k over two months they quote the other institute as having calculated, comes from. The single biggest category in that is parents of USCs, by the way.)

The KCC doesn't respond to emails these days , and If you bother to call asking about documents , the will tell you that they can not see if your documents are processed or not and ask you to check with them in a few weeks . They are probably given instructions not to send documents confirmation emails and not to confirm it by phone , too , until when the embassies open , maybe .

right now they are probably not there. Federal offices in many cities have been ordered closed.
could also be prepping for DV21 results due later this week.

Ok, good, seems they are prioritizing requests for actions they can actually take rather than responding the same thing to repeated queries.
they responded to my email Yesterday with the same answer about sending 2nls
Due to the novel COVID-19 outbreak all interviews for the DV program have been suspended, it is undetermined when scheduling will resume.

I was referring to documents confirmation emails , they don't respond to emails whenever someone contacts them and on phone they do not give clear answers
